Disclaimer: Kia, Lara and Kelly are mine, everything else is owned by Stephanie Meyer. This chapter is a direct continuation of chapter 6, just so you don't get confused. I hope that you enjoy this chapter and that it makes up for the lack of updates on my part. Just out of curiosity does anyone know how a beta reader works? I don't have one and I only notice the little mistakes after I post the chapters. Read and Review please, even if only to say I'm crap and should stop writing. I hope you enjoy this chapter, I certainly enjoyed writing it.

Last time
Unknown to me at that second in time, a certain pixie was sat, not two doors away, dry sobbing, whispering so low that I don't think vampires could hear, "please, don't Kia, please".Chapter 7
As Kelly leans down and kisses me again I hear a faint sound, almost like sobbing, "Don't Kia" those two words are all that I hear, was that Alice? Don't Kia, don't what? Sobbing as well, I wouldn't have even heard it if not for the fact that I'm so close to Alice's room. Don't sleep with Kelly you idiot, go to Alice, and see if she's ok, NOW. That last word my thoughts shout at me, and it's all I need to break through the haze of instinct and lust, pushing Kelly off of me and getting my boxers and trousers on quicker than even I should be able to, I rush out of the room and into Alice's, ignoring the indignant cries of Kelly as she scrambles for clothes now that I'm not there.
As I slowly enter Alice's room I realise that I've never been in here before, and that it's undoubtedly her room. drawings of anything and everything cover the walls, pictures of her and Rosalie, Esme and Carlisle, Jasper with Edward and Bella, her and Emmet and on her bedside table, a picture of me, when she came to visit me, lying on a patch of grass in a park near where I was staying, the sun shining, Alice and I smiling, looking so carefree, happy.
Shaking my head to get rid of my thoughts of slightly better days, I slowly walk over to where Alice is sat on her bed, huddled against the wall, her shoulders moving up and down as she dry sobs "go away Kia, go and be with Kelly" she says through sobs, spitting out Kelly's name with such venom that I'm taken back for a second. "No, I don't want to, I want to sit here with you and make you feel better, because I know that I've caused this" and with that I slide onto the bed and cuddle into Alice's side, she resists for a few seconds, before throwing her arms around me and nuzzling into my neck, forget what happened earlier, this is the best position I've ever been in.
I don't know how long we sat there, just cuddling on her bed, but after what feels like at least 10 minutes, Kelly barges in, "what the hell Kia, what was all that about" as she's saying this she's steadily getting closer to the bed and, just as she's about to make a move to grab me and rip me out of Alice's embrace, two things happen, Alice's grip on me tightened as much as it could without hurting me and a low growl erupted from the side of the bed, realising that Lara must have followed me into Alice's room and that she wouldn't win if she chose to fight, Kelly took off out of the open window in Alice's room.
"It's all right Alice, Kelly's gone now you let go" I softly whisper to her, she just shakes her head and nuzzles even more into my neck. "At least let me lay down, will you, all this drama's tired me out" I say, still whispering, with a small smile on my face at the cuteness of Alice right now. She moves us both so that were lying down on her bed, and finally speaks, "what made you stop, with Kelly I mean, a thought for sure that you were going to have sex with her" she says quietly, as one of my hands threads up into her hair and starts stroking it, I hear her start purring, and I'm not going to lie, it's so sexy that it hurts, while being unbelievably cute.
"I heard you sobbing, only just but, it was enough to destroy the instinct induced haze I was in" I say, noting that she looks a little sad at the mention of instincts. "That's all it was Alice, instincts, while she's attractive, she has nothing on you, I still feel the same way I did when I first came here" as I say this she perks up a bit, threading her legs through mine, making sure that were firmly entangled.
"Will you say it, please, I need to hear it" she whispers the last part, and it amazes me that the rest of the Cullen's haven't come up to see what happened, "there letting us talk, have our private moment if you will, Esme told me that I needed to talk to you if I ever wanted to be with you" she replies to my thoughts, "I'll have to thank her if everything works out" "when" she corrects absentmindedly, "when things work out, I'm not letting you get that close to another female ever again, your mine" she says, licking my neck at the last part, and it does nothing for my problem down below. "Moving a bit hast aren't we, were not even dating, unless you want to, that is be my girlfriend" I say blushing at my stupidity, what a way to ask her you idiot. "I would nothing more Kia, but only if you say it" she says.
"I love you Mary Alice Brandon" at this revelation, even though she already knew, her purring increases tenfold, "and I love you Nathan Kia Usher" she replies, "oh Kia's my middle name now is it?" "Yes, that way we can use our middle names together, Alice and Kia, and not that I mind but where's your shirt?" "Oh, it's in my room, I forgot it in the mad rush to come make sure you were ok" I say yawning at the end, "well it's nice, you should forget your shirt more often, and I think it's time for you to get some sleep, Mr 'I'll wait until the last minute to not sleep with someone'" she says with a smile getting us both under the covers and snuggling back down into my side, still purring in happiness, "night Alice, love you" I mumble already drifting off into the beloved land of dreams, "goodnight Kia, love you to" I hear Alice's faint reply.
Could have gone worse, is my last thought before I fall into dreams of Alice and myself, in different states of undress, what, I'm only seventeen what do you expect, I don't see Esme open the door a little bit and smile down at me and Alice, before closing it and walking back downstairs.
Finally got Alice and Kia together, should I send Kia to forks high school? Let me know, and don't forget to let me know your honest opinion on the story so far. Maybe around 10 or so chapters overall but I'm going to leave so that I come back to it if I want. Don't worry; Kelly will be back, for better or worse, but more on that later. See you in the next chapter. Gambit
