Hello my lurves! Ok so here we go, this is an interesting story for my taste I must admit. But I'm going to go with it and I hope you guys will enjoy it. This is a standalone story, nothing to do with my others. Ciara does not exist; Bo and Lauren are in lurve, yadda yadda yadda. You may think at FIRST it has some of the same elements at my previous story, BUT you will quickly see that it changes.
Plot Bunny: This is set in my own little world, no specific timeline, does not follow the show. Nearly three years ago Dyson and Kenzi were extremely close, Bo being all about Lauren, and Hale being all about his various love interests all they had was each other. So they decided to date, just date and see where it went, well Dyson being Dyson, his normal stubborn ass self broke it off after nearly two years of dating and ran after something strange. Kenzi was infuriated because she knew the only reason he was running was because he was scared. He was gone; he left for a good six months, and our story starts when he returns, followed by lots of twists, and gasps.
Enjoy and let me know how you honestly feel about Chapter Uno!
Chapter 1
Kenzi sat at the bar fiddling with the napkin in front of her. She was lonely, more than lonely, halfway to depressed. Dyson had been gone for nearly six months as he was still the only thing bouncing around in her mind. She sighed and spun around on her stool looking at the crowd. This was the first time in a long time she'd been in a human bar with actual humans. They were nothing compared to the Fae, her favorite people, or things maybe, she didn't know. Bo and Lauren were absolutely stuck up each other's asses; Lauren had chunked her fabulous apartment aside and moved in with them three months back, it was going great, for the two of them. Hale was being Hale, different girl every week, not concerned with Kenzi. No one had any reason to be though, she acted like her normal everyday self around them, but inside she was hurting. She missed Dyson, he was the only person she could turn to when she needed to talk, needed to cuddle, or needed love, and he gave those things to her, whole heartedly, then he'd just up and left, no explanations, no goodbyes, he was long gone and Kenzi was alone again, as usual. She slid off the stool and headed for the door, she needed to go see her friends.
Dyson turned to the woman next to him as her fingers slid into his hand. He didn't like her, barely even knew her. He couldn't tell you her full name even if his life depended on it. However, he was stuck with her now, nothing he could do about that. The whole way back he'd been doing nothing but thinking about Kenzi. She was going to be so pissed when she saw him, he didn't expect anything less than an ass kicking. She was Kenzi after all, and man did he miss her. Her spunky personality, her jokes, her small body pressed again his, her fitting perfectly against him while they slept. He missed it all, but that would never happen again, because his life had changed drastically. Her hand tightened around his and she smiled to him as he parked the car in the back parking lot of the Dal. He missed his friends, and it was time to come home.
"Hey there boo. How was the human bar?" Hale asked Kenzi as she came into the Dal and took a seat at the table next to the pool table. The Dal was not busy at all tonight. Bo and Lauren were here having a few, Hale was here, wrapped up in a waitress, and Trick was at the bar, cleaning away. Two or three people scattered around, and that was it.
"It was fine, had a few drinks. But don't worry they are not nearly as fun as you guys." Kenzi said rolling her eyes.
"Hey smartass, tell me something I don't know." Hale said turning to her.
"Let's see, something you don't know. Do you know that waitress probably has herpes?" Kenzi asked with a smirk as she crossed her arms. Truthfully she didn't have a clue, but she loved messing with Hale about his various squeezes.
"Now that's just messed up, you know I don't hire infected people." Trick said as he sat down the shot and beer in front of her.
"Besides, I think herpes might be a human only disease." Hale chimed in.
"Ah, that is true. But aren't Fae diseases worse than human ones? At least we have like medication and shit, when you all get sick it's like other worldly shit that takes some intense research to figure out, and by the time you have a cure, well damn, you're dead." Kenzi said smiling. Both Hale and Trick laughed and nodded.
"That's true. Very true." Trick said.
"Hello there love." The waitress came sauntering up and she wrapped her arms around Hale's waist again. Kenzi snorted as she took a sip of her beer and it came up her nose as she laughed.
"Shut up." Hale said and pointed at her. She held her hand up and twirled out of the chair.
"I didn't say a word." She said heading to the bar. She grabbed up the three waiting shots and swallowed them quickly, it was some old family recipe that Trick had brought in a month back, and Kenzi loved it. Mostly because all she needed was her four shots and she was good to go. She leaned back slightly and sighed as the alcohol flowed down her throat and tingled her stomach.
"Yummy." She moaned out. She twirled around on her heeled boot and began backing toward the bathroom watching Hale.
"Hey, Hale, remember those badass Fae STD's!" Kenzi called out as she walked backward. She doubled over laughing as Hale glared up at her and she ran smack dab into a hard body.
"Oh shit, sorry." She said turning around quickly. She was stunned at the face in front of her. A face she had not seen in six months. The last time she saw that face was when she fell asleep next to it, curled around that hard body. The next morning she had woken up to an empty bed. Yeah, he'd left her in bed, and then gone six months with no word.
"What in the hell?" she yelled out shoving the chest in front of her.
"I've got to say I didn't expect a warm welcome." Dyson said with a quick smile. Kenzi's hand jerked up and whipped across his face before she could stop herself. A fire ignited in her and she was pissed all over again. Before she could tear into him arms wrapped around her stomach and lifted her away, swinging her around.
"Let me go!" she said quickly shoving against Hale.
"Kenzi, relax, calm down." Hale said as people began to gather around. Bo and Lauren had come over, smiles spreading across their faces, Trick was making his way over happy as ever. Kenzi frowned deeply as Hale turned his back on her to greet his friend. They had all seemed to forget just what had happened six months ago.
"D, my man! Glad you're home." Hale said taking Dyson's hand and shaking it hard.
"Hey Dyson, glad you're back." Bo said as she and Lauren shared a hug with him.
"Good to see you." Trick smiled shaking his hand. Kenzi glared hard, she was becoming more and more angry by the minute. He had left her, after dating her for nearly two years he had left her in bed. Did any of these assholes know what that felt like? Kenzi looked around Hale, he hadn't changed a bit, he looked the same, dressed the same, he was the same Dyson, and Kenzi was sick to her stomach, she wanted to punch him in the face. Hell no she wasn't over it. How could she be over it?
"Oh yeah hey Dyson, good to see you Dyson!" Kenzi yelled around Hale. Hale turned around and looked down at her.
"Hey, come on, calm down." He said slowly. Kenzi crossed her arms over her chest and snorted.
"Calm down. I should calm down, that's your advice?" she said. Dyson's eyes dropped to the floor as Kenzi looked wide eyed at her friends, or so called friends.
"Get tired of running around and humping random bitches?" Kenzi said glaring. Bo stepped over and blocked Kenzi's view.
"Kenzi, just, take a breath." She said gently. Kenzi's nostrils flared, her best friend, her very own was sticking up for him.
"How dare you tell me to take a breath?" Kenzi said slightly raising her voice. Bo's eyes met hers; she was kind of shocked Kenzi had spoken to her that way.
"Kenz." Dyson spoke up. Wrong move on his part.
"Oh don't you dare you son of a bitch!" she said raising her finger and pointing at him.
"Kenzi, you've been drinking, just, do this tomorrow. I know you're mad, but right now is not the time." Hale said trying to reason with her. Kenzi felt tears come to her eyes; no, no, she was not going to cry. Not over him, she'd shed enough tears in the last six months to last her a life time.
"Kiss my ass Hale." Kenzi spat out. All eyes were on her, and she didn't understand why. Was this not perfectly acceptable behavior for someone who had been pitched to the side?
"Wow, I didn't think my bladder would hold that much." Came a soft voice. Everyone turned quickly to see where the voice was coming from. A short, slender girl turned the corner and came to stand beside Dyson. She looked oddly similar to Kenzi, long straight black hair, pale skin, long slender frame, except there was one huge difference. Her hand was resting on a large baby bump as she wrapped her hand through Dyson's.
"You have got to be shitting me!" Kenzi yelled as she tossed her head back. Kenzi looked up to notice everyone was shocked, not just her thank god. Kenzi didn't have to ask who's baby is was, she already had a sickening feeling rising up her throat, but because she was Kenzi and required further proof she asked.
"How far along?" she said gently. Hale and Bo looked at her, their eyes full of pity for her.
"Kenzi." Lauren pleaded with her not to ask further. The girl wrapped around Dyson beamed, a smile spreading across her face.
"I'll be six months next week." She said with a small giggle. Kenzi felt like she had been punched in the gut, her breath left her in a whoosh and she shook her head as the tears came. She didn't want to cry, didn't want to show any kind of weakness anymore, but this was too much, far too much to handle.
"Damn man." Hale said putting his hands on his hips and shaking his head.
"What's going on?" the girl asked with a smile still on her face. Kenzi lifted her head slowly, as tears flowed freely. The man she'd given her heart to, the man she'd slept with for two years, had run off a got some girl pregnant not even a month after he'd left her.
"You're a pig, a stupid son of a bitch! You asshole!" Kenzi yelled leaping toward him. Hale grabbed her around the waist right as she reached for him. She was pissed, infuriated, had planned on wrapping her fingers around his throat.
"Whoa whoa Kenzi!" Hale yelled swinging her away. Kenzi was to mad to stop, she turned on Hale shoving him away from her, scratching and fighting back.
"What in the world Dyson?" The girl asked, hiding behind him. Dyson had hardly moved, fully expecting Kenzi's wrath.
"Let me go Hale damn it!" Kenzi said pushing him hard as he held her tight.
"Kenzi, please, just, please calm down." Bo pleaded with her.
"No! Fuck every single one of you!" she finally freed herself from Hale and stepped back trying to catch her breath as tears streamed down her face. They all stared at her, Bo's mouth hanging open slightly, wondering why Kenzi was so mad at them.
"You're standing up for him! Just acting like everything is ok, like he didn't do a damn thing wrong." She said meeting the eyes of each of her friends.
"Kenzi it's not like that, it's just-" Hale started but Kenzi threw her hand up and cut him off. She went to move around him but he stepped in front of her stopping her.
"I'm not going to do anything, just move." She said to Hale. He nodded and stepped to the side, keeping his body close just in case. Kenzi moved forward and Dyson stepped protectively in front of the girl, Kenzi snorted.
"I wouldn't put my hands on her; I don't blame her because she probably doesn't know." Kenzi said crossing her arms again.
"But since you don't know, let me inform you. Since all of you seem to have forgotten exactly what happened, I'll remind you." She said her eyes coming straight up to meet Dyson's.
"Kenz, we remember." Bo said. Kenzi didn't even look back.
"Yeah, I know you do, that's what makes this hurt so much." She said with a smirk.
"What's your name?" Kenzi asked the girl.
"Brooke." She said glancing around quickly.
"Ok, well Brooke, let's see, where to start, ok, well you see, Dyson and I were together for about two years. Long time right? We held hands, kissed, went on dates, had sex, you know all the relationship bullshit." Kenzi said nodding along with her words.
"Kenzi stop." Dyson said his gaze never faltering.
"Fuck you." She said quickly.
"Anyway, you see Brooke, roughly six months ago after spending a night together, having sex, I wake up the next morning, and guess who's not there? Dyson. I called, text, and got no response. Come to find out, he up and left town, just left, no goodbyes, no explanations. Two years Brooke, two years and then bam, just gone like the wind, and now he shows up here, after six months with you. And correct me if I'm wrong but you're nearly six months pregnant. This would mean, right after he left me, he knocked you up. Dyson sure is a wonderful person." Kenzi finished. Brooke seemed slightly shocked to hear that information, but Kenzi could care less, she was done. She turned on her heel and grabbed her bag.
"You guys have a great night. Have fun reconnecting with your long lost friend." Kenzi said turning for the door.
"Kenz, come on." Bo said grabbing her arm. Kenzi ripped away from her and glared at the group.
"No, no I'm fine. It's my fault right, shouldn't have expected any more right? Fae have to stick together." She said with a smile. Bo looked truly hurt, as did Hale, Lauren, and Trick. She looked to the floor and nodded slowly as she left the Dal. Her heart was breaking all over again, and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Sides were clearly defined. She knew they were her friends, but he was Dyson, who could resist that right?
