"Why did you look in my file?" Lydia asked Kitty.

"I'm sorry. We just wanted to know if you were scared of the dark." Kitty said.

"Well…okay." She said. "At least the file doesn't say everything." She muttered.

"What? It doesn't?" Tyler looked shocked. "So there's more to it than what the file says?"

"Yeah." Lydia said shortly. "It's too complicated to go into the files, and plus none of the social workers or care workers know what else happened."

"What…did happen?" Lily asked.

"I'm not telling anybody until I feel like I have to." Lydia said, before she went back to watching TV with Tyler.

Kitty and Johnny looked at each other, then back at the TV guiltily. If they hadn't told everyone, then maybe Lydia would have not seemed…well, annoyed. She didn't seem very annoyed, just a little bit.

As Lydia went to walk back to her room, Kitty ran to catch up with her. "Lydia, I'm sorry. I've blown the trust between us, I get it, but I just want you to know we weren't trying to do it to learn about your past. We were all worried about you, and…"

"It's okay, Kitty, there isn't anything I don't want anybody to see in there." Lydia said calmly, giving Kitty a hug. "I'm not mad, honestly." She said, before heading up to her room. "I just need time to think. The past will always catch up with me, after all."

Kitty nodded and headed back to the living room. "Well, she's not mad at us at least."

"That's always good." Johnny agreed, nodding.

"But…she seemed distant. She said something about having to think because the past will always catch up with her." Kitty said.

Everyone frowned. Tyler shrugged.

"She probably means that when we explained to her about her file…she remembered her past and now it's all catching up with her, including the bits she didn't tell anybody." He said.

"You're probably right, but…I'm kind of worried about her." Carmen said.

"Same here." Kitty agreed.

"Do you think anybody would be able to talk to her?" Johnny asked.

Everyone looked at Tyler.

"Okay." He said, before getting up and leaving the room. He walked upstairs and knocked on Lydia's door.

"Did Kitty send you up?" Lydia asked as he shut the door and sat on her bed.

"Kitty, Carmen, and everyone else. They're dead worried, Lyd." Tyler said.

At the nickname, Lydia blushed. "And what about you?"

"Of course I'm worried! But, you'll tell us in your own time right?" Tyler said calmly.

"Of course. I'm just…a little scared of what everybody is going to think." Lydia said. "The file…not all of what they wrote is actually true. They told me to tell them in my own words and I told them something so that they wouldn't get the police involved." She whispered.

Tyler nodded slowly. "Well, if it was that bad then…I would have done the same thing. It's not bad, lying to them, but at some point you might have to face them."

"I know that, too. I'm just not ready." Lydia said.

"Well…when you are…let me know. I'll go with you, as well as Kitty and Carmen. We all care about you, Lydia, and when you need to face something big, we'll always be there by your side to help you."

"You mean it?" Lydia said.

"Of course I do." Tyler said.

As he got up to leave, Lydia jumped to her feet, grabbed him by his shoulders and spun him around. "Hey, Tyler?"

"Hmm?"

"Who was your first kiss?" Lydia asked.

Tyler's heart began to beat slightly faster. "I um, I haven't had one."

"Me either." Lydia said.

"Why do you ask?" Tyler tilted his head, and was surprised when Lydia kissed him.

She pulled away after about 10 seconds, and Tyler opened his eyes, shocked.

"That's why." She said calmly, before opening the door. Tyler walked out and she closed the door behind him, both of them stunned and yet kind of…happy.
