"I think we need to talk" Katie said. Neither of them wanted to have this talk because they knew it would most likely end up in a fight. They hated fighting with one another, but this needed to be discussed.
"How much do you know?" Steph started walking over to the wooden porch swing. Katie leaned back against the railing, her legs crossed at the ankles in front of her. Katie didn't make eye contact, but she watched Steph's body language.
"Tig told me the whole story" she responded. Steph nodded and played with the ring on her right hand. It was a plain silver band, but on the inside Koz had the words "My whole heart for my whole life" engraved. It was his promise to her that she would always hold his heart, no matter how much he screwed up.
"It was an accident" Steph said. Katie nodded slightly.
"I understand why Tig is the way he is though" she responded. Steph nodded. No one said anything for a few minutes, both women gathering their thoughts. "I think maybe you and Koz should stay at the clubhouse" Katie finally said. Steph froze.
"It was an accident Katie" she said exasperatedly. Katie nodded.
"I know, but they are still fighting and I think they shouldn't be near each other right now" she explained. Sometimes she seriously wondered who the real older sister was. Steph shook her head and looked out over the backyard.
"You agree with Tig don't you?" Steph asked. Katie sighed.
"Koz didn't need to take her out to that party" Katie said, knowing this was going to be the spark of the fight.
"She begged him to take her" Steph retorted. Katie rolled her eyes. "You won't even hear him out?"
"She's dead Steph, there's not much to hear! Whether she begged or he willingly took her, Tig told him not to go out there and he didn't listen" she replied. Their anger was getting the better of them, but they needed to clear the air.
"Do you hear yourself? You have taken the side of a guy over your sister" Steph yelled. She was sure the guys had probably heard her and Koz was going to get mad soon. He hated when she was upset.
"Pot meet kettle" Katie grunted. "It was an accident, leave it at that." Steph sighed and looked back at her sister, noting the tense posture and the slight hardness to her voice. Katie was upset that Tig was upset. Steph suddenly had a new appreciation for Tig. He took care of Katie when she couldn't.
"Ok, we'll go back to the clubhouse tonight" Steph said standing up. She walked past Katie, but stopped at the door. Her hand rested on the knob and she took a deep breath before turning back around and hugging Katie. "He's good for you" she whispered before kissing Katie's cheek and going back in. Katie moved over to the swing and sat down. She rested her head in her hands and her elbows on her knees and cried. She hated fighting with Steph.

Tig opened the door to the bathroom and looked around for Chibs. The guard was sound asleep against the wall. Tig pushed his way out of the bathroom and down the hall. He had heard Steph and Katie arguing and knew how much it hurt Katie to fight with her sister. He was going to make things right.
"You know they would kill us if they saw us" Koz said. Tig smirked and turned to where Koz was hiding.
"Oh I doubt that since we are going to make nice for their sake" he replied. Koz shrugged and followed Tig out to the front of the house. Once both men had cigarettes in their mouths, Tig decided to start. "I'm not going to just up and forgive you, but I can work on it; for Katie." Koz nodded.
"Works for me" he replied. The two men sat smoking for a few minutes, listening to the two women arguing in the back. That was the nice thing about Charming, it was quiet so they could hear almost everything. When the girls went quiet, the men went back inside.
"Koz" Steph called out as she entered the house. Koz pulled her into his chest and held her as she cried slightly. Tig looked around for Katie, slightly concerned he hadn't seen her. "She's outside" Steph answered. Tig nodded his thanks and headed out the back, seeing Katie sitting on the swing, crying softly. He sat down next to her and pulled her small body into his. Both men suddenly realized how their problems effected the women they loved the most. They swore they would try harder to get along, for Katie and Steph.

He watched the girls fight from the woods behind their house. They didn't even realize he was there. He wanted to hurt them, hurt them all. And his time would come, but right now he needed to be patient and wait.
