Groundwork

I was afraid when I heard the voice. My body trembled as I looked at the side only to see Uncle Cody and Aunt Kara standing at the door.

My face turned pink as I moved back in a hurry. My throat shivered as I bit my lips to control the racing heart. 

'What should I say?' I thought as I fiddled with my hands. My eyes moved towards Andrew who was smiling as if nothing had happened. He looked natural. 

"You are here." Andrew's voice broke the silence in the room. There was a  slight irritation in his tone "I do not know why you decided to come at such a wrong time."

"Andrew…" I said in horror. How can he say such a thing to his family? 

Aunt Kara and Uncle Cody were here to see Andrew because they were worried about him but here he was trying to push them away.

"What?" Andrew said in a small tone. I could see the annoyance on his face.
