Hazel's Pov
"Hazel. lunch is ready!" I heard as I pulled myself away from speckles and meeting Anna in the kitchen.

"Ooh... Rice." I mumbled getting my plate from Anna.

She helped as we sat at the table.

"So uhm... a friend is coming over. No one you probably know. But please be nice to her?" Anna said and I looked at her.

"O-Okay! Who is it?" I asked.

"Her name is Jersey. In the past we had a few problems, but today she's going to be sleeping in our house for a few days." She said and I smiled.

"Okay!" I said excitedly.

"When is she coming?" I asked.

"In a few minutes we will go leave to go get her from the airport." She said and I tried to eat faster.

"Calm down. You won't be going I get her with me. I'll leave and you'll be home alone for awhile if that's okay." She said getting her coat on.

"O-Oh okay..." I mumbled.

"Hey... just eat your food and I have the tv ran on for you. While your home feed Speckles and I'll be back in no time." She said kissing the top of my head.

"Bye!" I said and she was already out the door.

~~~~~~

"Hazy... wake up." I heard seeing someone shake me.

I woke up to Anna and a girl putting her stuff down. She had long brown hair like me but hers was darker and ombré.

I smiled and quickly shook her hand and took her coat to the coat racket.

"Oh... a maid you have?" She said.

"No... she's Uhh... a friend?" Anna said unsure.

"A friend who's a maid?" She asked looking at me as I was feeding speckles.

"No. She's not a maid. Drop the maid. Just a... friend." She said.

"My names Hazel!" I said and she looked at me.

"Right okay. If you only have two bedrooms than where am I sleeping?" She asked.

"You'll sleep in the extra bedroom. Hazel sleeps with me." Anna said.

"Oh so your friend is a girlfriend?" She asked eyeing me.

"No... no girlfriend. She sleeps better when she has someone in bed with her." Anna said picking up the dishes.

"Oh... so Uhh. Your child? How old are you by the way?" She asked me.

"18!" I said with a big smile.

"Right... Anna? What are we gonna do just bring her along with us." Jersey asked.

I felt a little hurt in that. Them having to drag me along with them.

"It's okay. I can stay home." I said.

"No. Your not staying home for that long. Yes. Plus we only are doing this for the fans." Anna said.

"Right yeah. Friends on tiktok blah blah I move back and we never speak again." Jersey said.

"We can still keep in touch. I don't mind." Anna said.

"Of course we will. Cause I would like to get to know your little... 'friend' here." Jersey said walking back over to me.

"Your cute." She said.

"Thank you. What drink would you like? We have sprite, Fanta, and coke." I asked.

"Mmm I would like to have coke thank you." She said and I smiled.

Anna's POV
Is Hazel my girlfriend? No, I never asked her out. Yet. But what if other people try and take her away. Do I tell them?

What happened to easing her into a relationship. Oh god what if Jersey takes her away.

Nah. Jersey could never... But you never know what will happen. Should I talk to Hazel?

No I should be talking to Jersey about this. Fuck! What am I gonna do.

"Uh Anna!" I heard seeing snapping fingers in my face.

"Oh yes Jersey?" I asked.

"Your Uh 'friend' is a little weird." She said as I looked over to see Hazel pulling the legos out.

"Don't call her weird. She's had a rough childhood." I said.

"I mean I'm not trying to be rude. But do you baby her?" She asked and I could hear the snicker in her voice.

"No!" I yelled.

"Shush. She was abused and grew up too fast. She never experienced an actual childhood." I said.

"Oh I see. So she's like a kid. Is she like ADHD?" She asked.

"No. Stop asking questions and just make plans for today or set a tiktok up." I said and she raised her hands up in innocence.

"Alright. Will she be in the tiktok." She asked me.

"I advise you... you to be nice to Hazel. Cause if your not. You have a lot of people coming at you for that." I said.

"So what she's like your child? I'm just trying to get to know her better." She asked.

"She's a friend that lives here with me. And it you don't like her than you can just buy your ticket out." I said.

"Hey wait. I wasn't trying to be rude." She said.

"Yeah? Well it sounds like it." I said.

"Please... I could be way mean. But I wasn't. She looks... childish but I get it. She can't control it." she said.

"And for now I'll get along. If you... do something for me." She said.

"What do you want me to do?" I mumbled.

"I want you... to fake as a girlfriend." She said.
