Chapter 2

Kelly pulled away quickly from Dylan's arms. For a brief moment their eyes met. Dylan had this odd feeling that unnerved him.

"Kelly, are you ok?"

"Why are you trembling?" Dylan asked her.

Kelly wanted to scream the thoughts that were going through her mind right then.

"It is because you are the love of my life, my soulmate Dylan, not Brenda's."

"I am the one you love."

"I want hold you and never let you go."

How Kelly wished she just could scream her thoughts at the top of her voice out to everyone. But she knew all but one knew what she was thinking. She knew she could not tell him even though he is the one who needs to know. Kelly's eyes met Brenda's there was so much contempt in them. Then Kelly looked at her other friend's faces and saw the hurt and sympathy they had for her. She turned and ran out the door.

Dylan sat down and was wondering what he had done to upset Kelly so much. When Dylan was holding her he felt a connection between them. Something he could not understand. Brenda saw the look on his face.

"Dylan, are you ok?"

"Do you feel sick?" asked Brenda.

"Yeah Dylan you do not look so good," said Steve.

"Maybe this was all too much coming here and asking our friends to join us; I think we should go home." Brenda said.

"No Brenda, I am fine in fact I feel very good." Dylan told everyone.

"It's Kelly I am worried about; she seemed really upset about something."

"She ran out of here like something was chasing her that frightens her." Dylan said.

Brenda sat there with a smirk on her face thinking to herself. Feeling very proud of what just happened. Brenda knew what Kelly was feeling and also knew; Kelly could not take seeing them together like this and that just delighted her.

"Dylan, if you only knew the real truth of why Kelly just ran out of here." Brenda thought to herself.

"Oh baby I am sure Kelly will be ok maybe she is upset about something that happened at work." Brenda told him.

Dylan was not quite sure if he believed that. Some how he knew something was really wrong with Kelly but he did not know why.

Donna caught Brenda's eyes and just gave her the death stare. Brenda gave her one of her fake smiles as to say victory is mine. Then Donna looked at David and nodded her head they got up and left. The rest of the gang said their good byes and left too.

Brenda was furious that they all left to go check on Kelly. She wanted to make this Dylan's day and instead it became Kelly's. How she hated Kelly and this just added another reason to hate her even more.

Kelly was gone by the time they got to the parking lot. They knew they were too late to talk to her.

"I am so sick and tired of this charade." Andrea said.

"I think we all are." Brandon told her.

And they were sick of it they had felt it had gone on long enough. Doctors or no Dylan needed to know the real truth about him and Kelly. They had to think of the best way to do that but first they had a bigger problem they had to convince Kelly. And that was not going to be an easy task.

Kelly did not go back to her office she just cancelled the rest of her appointments for the day. She could not think right now.

Kelly just drove to nowhere in particular. The memory of what just happened shot through head. Dylan's arms felt so right around her. She wanted to hug him back but she knew she couldn't. When he was holding her she felt like she couldn't breath and her heart ached so much.

Kelly finally realized she was at her mother's house. Jackie heard the door and called out.

"Kelly, is that you?"

"Yes mom it is." Kelly said in a shaky voice.

Jackie came into the living room where Kelly was. She looked at her daughter and knew something had happened.

"Kelly, what happened?" she asked.

"Mom, I just can't take it anymore, seeing Dylan and Brenda together." Kelly told her.

Kelly then told Jackie everything that happened at the Peach Pit. Jackie's heart was breaking for Kelly.

"I am so sorry that happened baby." Jackie said as she wrapped her arms around her.

"I wish I could do something to stop all your pain."

"This is so not fair, after everything you and Dylan have gone through and you were finally together." Jackie told her.

"I know mom and I know now I have to do something."

"Mom, I have been thinking about this for awhile now and what just happened made my mind up for me." "I am leaving Beverly Hills." "I can not stay here any longer." Kelly said.

Jackie looked at her and said, "No Kelly that is not the answer to run away."

"Mom, I have too because if I stay here it is going to kill me; I just can't do it any longer." Kelly told Jackie.

"I can't let you go Kelly I would be lost with out you and Erin would be devastated," she told Kelly.

"What else can I do?" asked Kelly.

"There have to be other options." Jackie said.

"No mom, there are not, I have to do this for my wellbeing."

"I have looked into it before all this happened today so I was already thinking about it," said Kelly.

"I don't want you to go but if you do I will understand." Jackie told her.

"I knew you would mom." Kelly simply stated.

"What about your friends?"

"How do you think they will feel about you leaving? Jackie asked.

"Mom they will understand they all know how hard this has been for me." Kelly said.

"Where will you go?"

"When are you leaving?" questioned Jackie.

"I do not know where I will go right now and for when I am it is going to be soon." Kelly told her mom.

Brenda and Dylan went home after the Peach Pit. He was tired even though he did not want to admit. Brenda watched him fall asleep on the couch. As she did she thought to herself he is mine and today proved that. Brenda now knows where their friends stand but Brandon her brother she thought how he could be with them. But it does not matter because she had won the prize and that was Dylan McKay.

Cindy Walsh was in the kitchen when Brandon walked in the door. She saw the look on his face how beat down he was.

"Hi mom," Brandon said with sadness in his voice.

"What is wrong honey?" Cindy asked.

"Mom, it was horrible today Brenda decided to have all of us met at the Peach Pit, all except Kelly of course to celebrate Dylan's first time out of the house."

"So we all met there and we are eating and who walks in Kelly." Brandon told her.

"I have a feeling that did not go very well." Cindy said."

"No mom it did not." Brandon told her.

"The short version is Dylan saw Kelly and asked her to come and join us." He stood up and told her he was waiting for a hug from her." "There was nothing Kelly could do but come over Dylan hugged her." Brandon said.

"What happened after that?" asked Cindy.

"Kelly did not hug him back then she pulled out of his arms and he questioned her why she was trembling." "But what was worse Brenda sat there loving every minute of how Kelly was feeling." "Brenda gave her a smirk." Brandon told his mother.

"Poor Kelly the look on her face when Dylan wrapped his arms around her was one of dread." Kelly looked at all of us and ran out of the Peach Pit," he said.

"I feel so bad for Kelly." Cindy told Brandon.

"I know mom so do we all."

"I know Brenda is my twin sister but I just can't forgive her for what she is doing to Kelly." Brandon told her.

"I know Brandon your father and I feel the same way." Cindy told him.

"But what can we do about it?" "The doctor's say he can't be told the truth and yet he has not idea that is what is hampering his recovery." Cindy said.

"Mom do you really believe that if Dylan knew the truth about him and Kelly that could help him?" asked Brandon.

"Yes, I do because all Brenda is doing is holding him in her little world and that is all Dylan believes." Cindy said.

"Mom, that is how me and the rest of the gang feel we were talking about that after we left the Peach Pit." "We are sick and tired of this charade." Brandon told her.

"The truth is we think Kelly is just going break and when that happens I do not want to think about it." Brandon said.

"Brandon, Kelly is a strong woman but you are right there is a limit we all have."

"You are right about wanting to do something and it is going to take all of Kelly's and Dylan's friends to make it happen." Cindy told him.

"Mom, what about Brenda?" he asked her.

"Don't worry about Brenda she will be dealt with." Cindy told him.
