Kaci dried herself off after her shower. She had spent a good thirty minutes just standing under the spray of water. She pulled on a matching bra and thong set that was black a red. She pulled on a pair of skinny jeans and was in the process of looping her belt through when Scotty came in the room, he had a key in his hand.

"There is a thing called knocking. You should try it sometime," said Kaci.

"Why'd you have the door locked to begin with?" asked Scotty.

"Because I didn't want people barging in while I was in the shower. But that didn't stop you. Do you mind?" said Kaci pointing to the door.

Scotty scoffed and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. Kaci shook her head and pulled her shirt on over a white cami. It was a black long sleeved work shirt. She had a ton of shirts from the shop and wore them more often than not. She was looking around for her shoes when Scotty walked in, without knocking, again.

"You have really got to learn that whole knocking thing," said Kaci pulling her shoes on.

"April is here and wants to see you," said Scotty.

"Could I have at least walked out of the room first?" asked Kaci. "Would've save you the trouble of barging in the room, again, and me from bitching at you."

"That's all you do it bitch," said Scotty walking out of the room.

Unbeknownst to them, they had an audience that could hear them all the way down at the pirate bar.

"I do not!" said Kaci following her brother.

"You do to. Half the time when you talk you find at least one thing to bitch about!" shouted Scotty.

"I do not. Name one time before today that I bitched about something," said Kaci. "Oh, wait. You can't. You fell off the face of the earth because you went Pro with skateboarding."

Kaci and Scotty were face to face next to the pool table.

"I swear as soon as you found out that you made it with Element you forgot about who you really are and who your friends were. You don't have anybody at home! Which is why you don't come back. You know it's the truth because you know you were a dick to everyone back home. 'Oh, I've made it Pro and I don't need anybody in this' and I quote 'hick town.'" Said Kaci. "So forgive me if I come off a little bitchy towards you."

Scotty scoffed and stormed off down the stairs. Kaci followed behind him. Scotty grabbed a beer out of the fridge and walked out of the house, leaving Kaci in the pirate bar with everyone else. Kaci sat down on one of the bar stool while everyone was looking at her. April was the first one to speak.

"You must be Kaci," she said.

"Yeah," said Kaci shaking her hand.

"So who is older?" asked April.

"He is. By a year and a half," said Kaci.

"So do you not like skateboarding?" asked Raab.

"Personally? No. I'm not coordinated enough for it," said Kaci accepting the beer from Dunn. "But for Scotty? I'm the one who told him to audition for Element."

"So what was up with the fight?" asked Raab.

"He got big headed. I surprised he can still fit through the door with the ego he has," said Kaci shrugging her shoulders.

"So, you're in college, right?" asked April.

"Not anymore," said Kaci taking a sip of her beer.

"Why not?" asked April.

"Graduated," said Kaci.

"What do you do now?" asked April.

"I work at a tattoo shop," said Kaci.

"You still work there?" asked Dunn.

"Yeah. Scotty told me you have something to show me," said Kaci.

Dunn smiled and set his beer down. He pulled his shirt out of his jeans and up over his head to reveal the nipple peircings. Kaci laughed as she took another sip of her beer. April shook her head as Dunn pulled his shirt back on.

"I don't know why he did it. And I don't know why they let him do it. I swear if I ever meet the person who did it to him, I'm going to give that guy a piece of my mind," said April.

Kaci chuckled as she turned the bottle in the hands on the table, "That's going to be kind of hard."

"Why?" asked April.

"Because I'm not a guy," said Kaci.

"You did it?" asked April.

"Your son paid for it," said Kaci.

April immediately turned her attention to Bam. Bam glared at Kaci before he ran and hid behind her. Kaci chuckled as he ducked behind her.

"Just so you know, if she starts throwing things I'm going to move," said Kaci.

"You wouldn't," said Bam.

"Oh really? Wanna test that theory?" asked Kaci.

"Yeah!" said Bam. "Throw a pot!"

"BAM!" shouted April.

Bam laughed and walked back to where he was originally standing. After a few minutes Scotty walked back into the house and grabbed another beer before he walked up the stairs to the main floor. Kaci shook her head as she accepted the second beer from Dunn.

"So what started the whole fight?" asked Dunn.

"He's an ass," said Kaci.

"I'm sure that's not…" started April.

"No. That's why. He got too big headed for our hometown, which is why he hasn't been there in six months," said Kaci.

"You're kidding," said Bam. "He told me two months ago that he was going to go home and see everybody."

"Well, wherever he went, it wasn't home," said Kaci drinking her beer. "So, he told me you were having a party."

"Yeah. Figured we could introduce you to everyone at the same time, and have fun," said Bam.

"Oh, joy," said Kaci sarcastically.

What?" asked Bam.

"I hate parties. Ask Scotty. Of all the Frat and Sorority parties I was invited to, I only went to two," said Kaci.

"Which ones?" asked Dunn.

"An ΑΤΩ Frat party and an ΑΔπ sorority party," said Kaci.

"Who?" asked Dunn.

"Alpha Tau Omega and Alpha Delta Pi," said Kaci.

"You don't seem like the person who wouldn't party," said Dunn.

"Can't judge a book by its cover," said Kaci standing up.

"Where you going?" asked Dunn.

"My room," said Kaci.

Kaci left her beer sitting on the counter and climbed the stairs to the main floor and then up to her room. As she collapsed on her bed she pulled out her cell phone and searched through her contacts looking for her boyfriends number. Once she found his number she sent him a text message.

Once Scotty heard Kaci go into her room and collapse on the bed he left his room and walked back down to the pirate bar. When he did he was met with accusatory glances.

"What?" he asked.

"You told me that you were going home two months ago to see your sister and family. Kaci said you haven't been home in six months," said Bam. "I don't give a shit if you go home or not, but don't lie to me in my own home. It's disrespectful."

"I did go home. Just because she didn't see me doesn't mean I wasn't there," said Scotty. "I went and saw my ex-girlfriend."

"Tracy?" asked Dunn.

"Yeah," said Scotty rolling his eyes.

He and Tracy had broken up when he had gone back home because he wouldn't bring her up to Pennsylvania to live with him. Scotty was glad to be rid of her, too. She was just way too clingy for his liking. As Scotty grabbed another beer people started to show up at the house.

After an hour the house was full of people. Scotty was doing shots with Novak while everyone else just mingled and talked. Kaci was still sitting in her room and could hear the party going on. She was calling her boyfriend since he hadn't answered her text in over an hour. The phone rang and rang before he picked up the phone.

"Hello?" he said.

"Hey, baby. What are you doing?" asked Kaci.

"I just got in front hanging with the guys," he said.

"Really? What'd ya'll do?" asked Kaci.

"We went out to the bar and had a few drinks before we called it a night," said her boyfriend.

"You realize that it is only ten o'clock at home?" asked Kaci.

"So," he said.

"You usually call it a night at one in the morning," said Kaci.

"I just wasn't up to staying out," he said.

"You feeling okay, Derek?" asked Kaci.

"Yeah. I feel fine," said Derek.

Kaci was about to say something when she heard a voice in the background.

"Someone over at the house?" asked Kaci.

"Nope just me," said Derek.

"Oh, I thought I heard someone," said Kaci.

"TV," said Derek.

"Oh. Okay," said Kaci. "So what are you going to do with the rest of your night?"

"Might watch a movie or something. What's going on over there?" asked Derek.

"Scotty's having a party," said Kaci rolling her eyes.

"Let me guess, you are in your room holed away?" chuckled Derek.

"Funny," said Kaci.

"You should go have fun," said Derek. "Just not too much fun."

Kaci was going to reply to him when she heard someone on the other side say 'Jus hang up already, baby.' Kaci closed her eyes and sighed.
