Outtake 2: Kate's Point of View on finding out Tanya doesn't like her because she got rejected by Alec. Including the confrontation between the two sisters and the resolution Kate comes to. (Set about six months before LINTS starts).

A Jealous Sister

Kate Denali

I looked in disbelief as my older sister stalked off in a huff after she had just yelled at me to stop talking to her and leave her alone and—

"What just happened?" I questioned turning towards my best friend, Bella Swan.

"Umm. I think Tanya just told you to leave her alone and that you were…that you were a horrible sister for what you've done to her and…" Bella winced as she turned towards me, "That she hated you for stealing her boyfriend away from her." Bella finished looking slightly confused.

"Yeah," I muttered, "That's what I thought she said."

"Kate?" Bella started looking at me before she gazed in the direction that my sister had gone off to. "I wasn't aware that Tanya even had a boyfriend."

"Funny thing is, neither did I."

"I'm not leaving until you tell me what is going on, Tanya!"

"Kate if you don't know what you did, you are a horrible sister!"

"Well apparently I'm a horrible sister because I have no idea what I'm supposed to have done because I sure as day didn't steal your boyfriend. In fact, I wasn't even aware that you had a boyfriend! Last I checked you only had a thing for Alec!"

Tanya glared at me as she stood up from her bed.

"Exactly! You know I like Alec and that I wanted him to be my boyfriend but you couldn't leave him alone! You just had to ask him out and steal him from me!"

I visibly froze as I figured out what my older sister must be talking about.

"So you do know what I'm talking about! Did you think I wouldn't know what was going on?" Tanya shouted at me more than questioned me.

"Tanya, I don't know who told you all that but that's now how it happened! Alec asked me out but I turned him down because I knew that you liked him! You're my sister! My big sister whom I look up to and respect! I wouldn't do this to you! I wouldn't do anything to hurt you! You have to know that, right?

Tanya stood there, scrutinizing me, seeing if she could tell if I was lying or not. Just when I thought she would see that everything I said was the truth, she shook her head.

In a cold voice, Tanya said, "I don't believe you. Everyone I spoke to said you asked him out."

"You're going to believe other people over your own sister?" I shouted at her feeling my temper spark.

Tanya snorted, "Some sister. Now get out of my room!" Tanya ordered.

I looked at her in disbelief before turning on my heel, walked out, and slammed the door behind me.

As I stood there outside Tanya's closed bedroom door, I couldn't believe what had just transpired. I ran the whole conversation through my head once, twice, and again but I could not believe that Tanya would just take other people's word over something like this than mine.

And…come to think of it… When Alec asked me out, there was nobody in the immediate vicinity… not that I could remember anyway. I had also known Alec my entire life practically. He would never lie about or spread around what happened.

I was broken from my musing by my name being uttered softly.

I looked up to see my younger sister, Irina looking at me.

Oh no. How much of that did Irina hear? Tanya's door wasn't even closed.

"Kate? What's going on? Why were you and Tanya fighting…" Irina shook her head in disbelief before she finished, "Why were you two fighting over a boy?"

Sighing, I explained, "We were not fighting over a boy. Tanya believes that I asked out someone who she liked – but I did no such thing. She just needs to cool down before we talk about it again."

Irina nodded but still she looked worried.

"Hey, it'll be okay. I'll talk to Tanya and fix things between us. I won't have something as stupid as a misunderstanding over a boy come between the two of us. I promise." I implored Irina to believe me. She looked me straight in the eyes before nodding again. This time more assured that I would fix things between our older sister and myself.

End Note: So that's basically what happened between Tanya and Kate before all of their drama in chapter 11 of Life Is Never That Simple.
