"How is it with Austin back in town" Corey asked walking into the family room on the second level of the house
"It's fine. It's nice having someone else around for a change." She said.
"I feel you." He said.
"Where is everyone?" Kara asked.
"Parents at work, Sara went out somewhere, and as usual Dylan is chillin with Taylor." Corey explained.
"Gotcha." Kara said sitting down on the couch.
"What's on your mind?" Corey asked sitting next to her.
"A lot actually." Kara said.
"Talk to me." He said.
Kara got up from the couch and stood in front of Corey. "I'm leaving in a soon…in a few days actually, I'm not sure when" Kara said with her hands in her pocket. "And I need to know right now how you feel about me."
"Kara I…What…Why?" Corey stumbled on his words.
"I need to know how you feel about me right now because I know you're kind, and you're funny and you're stable, and you're so good to me, amazing, and I just need to know nothings gonna change between us. I mean I don't know what's going to happen a month from now, a week from now..or tomorrow. All I know is that I'm in love with you and I don't want to miss the one chance I have with you." Kara explained.
"Baby I've been in love with you for so long" Corey said getting up.
"I love you" He said putting his hand on her and kissing her.
This kiss grew more and more heavy until it became a full on make out session. They continued to kiss and things went further. Corey picked her up and Kara wrapped her legs around him. He pushed open the door and they stumbled onto the bed in his room. Kara pulled his shirt off and over his head. Kara rolled over on top of him and took off her own shirt. They continued making out.
Corey was back on top and asked "wait are you sure you want to do this? Really sure?"
"Positive." Kara said looking him in the eyes.
There lips met once again. _
Austin was sitting at a park bench calling Kaylie.
"Hey" he heard her voice on the other line.
"Hey" he said, "How are you doing?"
"I'm okay, just sitting in my room."
"How was the session." He asked
"Ugh. So annoying. We talked about gymnastics, and how I need to go back. And then she started attacking me and I didn't talk the rest of the hour." Kaylie said.
"You didn't go to the Rock, did you?" Austin asked.
"No, but I will in a few days." Kaylie said.
"I don't think that's a good idea." Austin said.
"Why not? I'm fine. I eat. I had breakfast with you before you left, and I had lunch with my brother. I don't have a problem." Kaylie said.
"Yeah you do." Austin said.
"You know what Austin, I don't want to talk about this. I'm sick of fighting about it." Kaylie said.
"Fine. Well I'm sure my day was just as awful." Austin said rubbing his temples.
"What happened?" Kaylie asked.
"I don't even know where to begin." Austin said.
"How about the beginning." Kaylie asked annoyed
"What wrong?" Austin said.
"Nothing."
"Really?"
"Why didn't you ask me to come? That night when you left, I was just waiting for you to ask me to come with and you never did. Are you ashamed of me or something? Do you not want to introduce me to your family?" Kaylie asked.
"No Kaylie. You've got it all wrong. I'm not ashamed of you, I'm ashamed of them. I mean, we live in this big house, with a white picket fence and nice cars in the garage and everything's suppose to be perfect, but it's not. Growing up he used to beat on me and Kara, and I just found out my mom took him back. So now he can take his rage out on Kara again. I'm a failure to my dad because I choose gymnastics over soccer or wanting to go into business. And I'm just the screw up kid who's on the cover of every tabloid; the embarrassment to my old man. You know, he blamed me for Kara. Because if I had just quit gymnastics, Kara wouldn't have been so obsessed with it and being just like me." Austin explained.
"Austin I'm so sorry, I didn't know. It's not your fault, don't even think that." Kaylie said.
"Sometimes I think he's right. If I had just quit, she wouldn't have strived to be so good. Maybe she wouldn't have had anorexia. I should have done something, I should have noticed. She was my sister and I let her down. Everything is just falling apart and I feel like I have no control over it." Austin said.
"Austin, you can't live in maybes, they will eat you up. It's not your fault. And if it's any consolation, my mom was having an affair with my coach and my dad left her. And then there's me." Kaylie said.
"Safe to say it all just sucks right now, huh?" Austin said.
"You can say that again." Kaylie agreed.
"I gotta go, my mother is calling on the other line. Talk to you soon?" Austin asked.
"Yeah. Bye." Kaylie said.
"Bye." Austin said switching over to his mom, "What?" he asked.
"Where are you two. Kara's not answering and I'm worried." His mom asked.
"Is he still home?" Austin asked.
"No he left for his 5 o'clock." his mom said.
"Well Kara's at Corey's, I'll swing over and pick her up and I'll come home. We need to talk." Austin said.
Knock Knock. They heard pounding at the door.
"Who is that?" Kara asked laying in bed next to Corey.
"Look out the window." Corey said.
Kara went over to the window, "OMG! It's Austin!" She screamed grabbing for her clothes.
"What is he doing here?" Corey asked.
"How should I know?" Kara asked, "Just get dressed." They quickly threw on their clothes and ran downstairs.
"Hey" Kara said opening the door, "What are you doing here?"
"Sorry to interrupt, but we have to go." Austin said.
"Go, like for good?" Corey asked.
"Not this second but tomorrow for sure." Austin said.
"Right now?" Kara asked.
"Yeah. You can say bye tomorrow." Austin said.
"Fine." Kara said. "I'll call you later." and she gave Corey a kiss.
Austin was tempted to lung at Corey when he kissed his sister, but refrained.
"Wish I could formally meet you, but I don't have the time. Sorry for barging in." He said before turning and heading towards the car.
"Bye" Corey called behind them.
"I will call you tonight." Kara shot over he shoulder.
"Oh thank god you guys are back." Linda said when the door shut behind Austin and Kara.
"Well…" Austin said.
"Well what?" Linda said.
"Are we going to have this conversation or not?" Austin asked.
"Oh Austin stop being so dramatic. The past is the past, it's time to move on." Linda said.
"Dramatic! Are you serious? Wow, you're just like you've always been. Always taking his side." Austin said.
"I'm not taking any sides. You haven't been here, you don't know what it's like." Linda said.
"And you do? Did you know he's been hitting Kara again?" Austin asked.
"That's not true. He's changed." Linda said. "Right honey," she directed towards Kara.
"No mom, wrong." Kara said.
"Sweetie I didn't know. Why didn't you tell me?" Linda asked.
"Because you're so wrapped up in your own world, and if you ever took a second to step back into reality you would have noticed!" Kara screamed.
"I think the best thing for everyone, is if Kara stays with me in Boulder. It's pretty clear your priorities are that guy-" Austin was cut off.
"Your father." Linda finished.
"Whoever. And I'm not gonna stand around and let this happen. Not again. Until you figure out what you need to do and get it together, she's going to stay in Boulder." Austin finished.
"You can't just take my daughter!" Linda yelled.
"You can call the police. And I can explain how you let your "husband" beat on her and then Social Services can take her. Your call." Austin said.
Linda didn't respond.
"We're leaving in the morning." Austin said.
