Enjoy chapter 3!


"Please remind me why I haven't killed you for this yet, Millie?" Kaylin asked, eying the huge house, that was more like a mansion, sceptically.
"Because you're secretly hoping you have a good time, and if you killed me how would you be able to thank me for bringing you in the first place?" Millie winked and pulled her boring sister inside.
Kaylin didn't think she was exaggerating when she said she saw half of her new school there, she had never thought it would be possible to actually fill the huge place with people but she had clearly been wrong. Wherever she looked there were people dancing, talking or just simply making out and she suddenly felt very out of place. She had never really been a party-girl, that had been Millie's self-appointed title and even though she knew she looked good in those light blue hip-hugging jeans, that white corset-like top Millie had borrowed her, and a pair of 4 inch mesh sandals from GUESS, she still felt ugly when she looked at the minimal amount of clothing that most of the girl were wearing, showing off a lot more of their bodies than Kaylin ever had.

Millie, as always, looked absolutely gorgeous! Her sense of fashion had been influenced by her jobs as a model, knowing exactly what suited her and what to stay away from. Tonight's outfit was a fiery red cross-backed minidress and a pair of red ribbon-tie sandals, her long bangs braided out of her face with the rest hanging freely and a pair of smokey eyes to top it all off.
The guys looked at her little sister approvingly as they walked through the house, Millie searching for the guys who had invited them and Kaylin just wanting to go home.

"Millie!" The Davis sisters turned around to see who had called Millie and their eyes quickly fell on the guy who came jogging up to them. He was tall, somewhere around 6'3 Kaylin guessed, brown spiky hair and once he got closer she noticed his brown/green eyes. She knew how Millie loved eyes like his and smiled a little at the thought of her sister always going for guys depending on their eye-color.

"Hey, you must be Millie's sister. I'm Eric." Eric reached out his hand with a warm smile and Kaylin shook it with an equally warm one.
"Kaylin." He stared at her for a moment once she had told him her name.
"Really?" Kaylin nodded, his fascination with her name seemed a little odd to her but then again, Millie had never been known for choosing the brightest guys as her dates.
"Had it my whole life."
"Cool. Well, come on, let's get you something to drink." One of Eric's hands placed itself on the small of Millie's back as they made their way through the crowd, a move that Kaylin noticed but chose not to comment on. Her little sister knew how to handle herself, she didn't need Kaylin for that.

"Millie, you came." The voice made Kaylin's body shudder, and not in a good way. This was his party?
"Yeah. Well, I couldn't break a promise, now could I?" Millie giggled as she took a sip from her beer. The almost childish giggle suddenly reminded Kaylin of the fact that her sister was only 15 years old, and here she was flirting with these Ryan and Eric-characters as if it was completely normal behavior. Blame it on their mother for being too strict on Kaylin and too easy-going on Millie.

"Hello there, Kaylin. I thought you had to get settled in." Ryan said with a mocking voice and Kaylin silently cursed herself as her cheeks turned one shade redder.
"Yeah, well. Some horny teenagers invited my little sister to a party and what kind of sister would I be to throw her to the lions like that?" Kaylin stood up straight and looked right into his blue eyes, proving she knew how to give as good as she got.
Millie just stood there beside Eric, her eyes traveling between the blonde God and the feisty girl who was dressed in Kaylin's clothes. She knew Kaylin was a fighter but to be able to hold herself together like that when someone was openly mocking her, really impressed her.

"So Millie's your sister?" An evil twinkle appeared in his eyes and Kaylin's blood froze when she saw him walk up to her baby sister, placing a tanned arm around her shoulders with a smirk.
"I see your way of thinking doesn't seem to run in the family. She dresses just like the person you claim not to be." Neither Millie or Eric understood what those words meant but Kaylin did. He had basically called Millie a whore right in front of her and it was with the fury thumping in her eardrums that Kaylin stepped up to him, their faces only inches apart from each other.
"You never, and I mean never talk about my sister like that again, do you understand?" She hissed through gritted teeth, but her reaction just seemed to add fuel to the fire because Ryan just smirked.
"What are you going to do about it? Gonna step on my feet with those hooker-heels of yours?" Oh, was he enjoying this! He never would have thought it could be so much fun getting a rise out of anybody before he met Kaylin, she was so easy to read it was almost unfair... Almost.

Millie could see the madness in Kaylin's eyes as she stepped up to Ryan, and for the first time in her life she felt a tinge of fear surge through her body at the sight of her sister. Those beautiful green eyes were basically shooting thunderbolts at the man in front of her and her knuckles were turning white from her trying to stop her fists from meeting with the blonde's face.
"I made a promise not to fight, and I'm planning on sticking to it. But say something like that again and that promise goes out the window." Kaylin warned with a dark voice, before she turned around and walked straight out of the livingroom, making her way through the crowd until she found an empty balcony with view over the sea.

There she stood, the anger thumping violently through her veins as she breathed in the salty air into her burning lungs. She took a swig of her beer and silently cursed herself for every mistake she had ever done. For the time when she was five and told her dad she hated him for not being able to come to her dance-recital. For not being there for her mom when her dad died. For always yelling at her sister. For ever meeting Logan and falling for his bullshit. For bringing all this shit on her family.
Sometimes she just hated herself for everything she had done, for hurting the people she loved. Now was one of those times and although she wasn't one for drinking she emptied her beer-bottle in one last swig and stared out over the ocean, allowing her rapidly beating heart to calm down a bit.

"Can I ask you a question?" Millie's soft voice was like the hand of an angel on her shoulder and with a brave smile on her lips Kaylin turned to her sister. "How does a guy like Ryan not fall under the category of cute guys?" Millie leaned on the railing and turned her eyes to the calm sea.
"What?"
"On our first day of school. When I asked you if you had met any cute guys, you said no. How does Ryan not count as one?"
Kaylin chuckled before sighing tiredly.
"I don't know. I guess you and I don't have the same definition of 'cute guys'." The older girl nudged her sister with her elbow, strangely enough she felt herself relax even though they were talking about Ryan.

"Well, if I were you I'd just screw him." Millie's neutral voice made Kaylin choke.
"Millie!"
"What? I would." The younger answered defensively making Kaylin cover her eyes with a hand.
"God, how did my innocent little sister turn into a 15 year old slut?"
"Hey, God has nothing to do with this, Kay." Millie nudged her sister with a giggle.
"How did you grow up so fast? I mean, here I am, 18 years old and the only boyfriend I've ever had turned out to be a complete..."
"Psycho?" Millie finished the sentence for her and Kaylin couldn't help herself but laugh. The mere thought of Logan Anderson was usually enough to make her skin crawl but right now it didn't. No matter how much she had hurt her in the past Millie was always there for her when things got bad and this time was no different.
"Yeah, something like that." Kaylin reached over and hugged her little sister, hard. "I love you, Mills."
"I love you too, Kay." Millie let go of her and it only took Kaylin one second to recognize that look in her eyes.

"So why are you really here, Mills?" She asked with a raised eyebrow, laughter hidden in her voice as she watched Millie's eyes grow more like a kicked puppy's by the second.
"Um, listen, Kay. Would it be okay if I just... leave for the night?" Millie looked at Kaylin with such pleading eyes the older was amazed she didn't just say yes immediately.
"With who?" She knew her sister far too well to know she wouldn't be leaving alone.
"That guy." Millie pointed over to the tall guy talking to Ryan, remembering the guy's name vaguely but wondering if her sister did as well Kaylin looked at her for a second before asking the best question she could think of to determine whether or not to be a good sister or not.

"What's his name?"
"You and I both know his name's Eric. So can I go? Please tell me I can go." Once again those manipulative eyes made Kaylin weak and she looked over at Eric before looking back at her little sister.
"Alright, I'll let you go..."
"Thank you! You're the best..."
"I have two conditions though." Kaylin interrupted her sister's thank you-speech. Millie seemed to tense a little but still nodded for her to continue. "One. If mom asks, I kept an eye on you all night."
"I could totally do that, no problem... What's number two?"

Kaylin took a deep breath, she couldn't believe she was about to do this!
"Number two is... Just take care of yourself." Millie threw herself around her sister's neck, telling her 'thank you' so many times Kaylin quickly lost count of them.

"Okay, so I'll be going. Can't keep my man waiting. And don't worry, Kay. I'll be as safe as the gold at Fort Knox."
Kaylin was actually a little impressed at her sister for knowing that but seeing her precious little sister leave with the freakishly tall man made her realize that she was now all alone with Ryan, if you didn't count the hundred other people at the party.


Hope you enjoyed the chapter, send me some love if you did ;)
