This chapter will be a little more centered around Cheyenne. I hope you enjoy it! And as always please leave reviews! I love getting feedback! I owe a very special thank you to, wayouttamyleague! Without the help, this chapter would be filled with mistakes!

I arrived at Shane's to find that Drake wasn't going to show up. I was very thankful. I didn't know if I could deal with another one of his drunken states. Plus, it would great just to spend time alone with Shane. He was the only person, I could talk to about anything. He understood how I felt about certain things, because he went through what I did, so did Drake, but he didn't know how to just keep calm.

"Why didn't Kelly stay?" I asked, taking a drink of water.

"She's doesn't like to intervene on these nights. She knows they are just for us."

"I get that, but she knows that she is welcome to stay, right? I don't want her to think, that I don't like her." I always felt bad that she had to leave her own house, because of me.

"She knows that you like her."

"I hope so." I sat down at the kitchen table and got a text from Kev. I smiled. Shane sat down, next to me. "So why are you smiling so much?"

"Uh, I've kind of been seeing someone."

"Really?" His eyes lit up, which took me by surprise.

"What's with that reaction?" I asked.

"Just happy for you is all." He laughed, before taking a drink of beer. "So is it anyone I know?"

"Nope. His name is Kevin." He looked at me. "So?" He pressed.

"What?"

"Tell me about him."

"Okay. He's smart and funny." I smiled. "He's very funny. He is probably one of the sweetest people I have ever met."

"Wow. What's he do?"

"He's a cop."

"A cop?" He asked, before his jaw fell. I nodded. "Wow! You never cease to surprise me." He said, before getting up. I smiled. "So, wait, I thought you hated cops."

"Not all cops. Just the ones who are incompetent." I corrected him. He noticed my tone and dropped it.

"He wants to meet you, you know?" I changed the subject in hopes of shifting the mood.

"Really?"

"Yeah, you and Drake."

"You think he's ready for that?"

"Drake, no." I laughed. "I do believe he is ready to meet you."

"So.." He brought me over a plate of food. "How serious are things with you two?"

I laughed. "Very serious. I love him." I took a bite.

"Love?" He gave an amused look. "How long have you been seeing him?"

"Three months." The look on his face indicated that he was stepping into his big brother role. A role I was all to familiar with.

"Sweetie.." He started.

"Shane. I have known him for awhile and I know you may think it's too fast, but I love him and he loves me."

"I'm sure you care for him a lot, it's just that I don't want this to end like it did with Jake." He placed his hand on mine.

"It won't. Kevin is so much better for me than Jake ever was." He didn't say anything, he just put his head down.

"Okay." He put his hands up in surrender. "When can I meet him?"

I sighed and took another bite. "I don't know yet, but I will let you know in advance."

I really wanted Shane and Drake to like him. I wanted them to love him. I just wasn't ready to bring Kevin into my whole world yet. I definitely didn't want to tell him about Tess. She was a topic that was off the table when talking to most people. I wanted to tell Kevin everything. I didn't want to keep secrets from him. Time was needed, though.

I needed to sort it out. How do you tell someone you are in a relationship with, that you love, that your parents died when you were young, and since then you were raised by your aunt and uncle, along with your brothers and sister? It wasn't a normal upbringing. How was I supposed to let him meet Drake? Drake was drunk almost every time I saw him. How was I supposed to tell him about Tess? I mean, it isn't everyday you find out that your girlfriend's sister was murdered. What would he think or do? Would he look at me differently? I knew he wouldn't leave me, he wasn't that type of guy, but maybe he would act differently around me, once he knew. Things were going to get intense, and I wasn't ready for that. He probably wasn't ready for it either. How could I tell him I got my last name changed, just to distance myself from a painful past?

"Earth to Cheyenne." I heard Shane.

I jumped a little. I needed to stop spacing out. He was going to think I was crazy or something. "What?" I asked, embarrassed.

"Been trying to get your attention, for the last minute." He put his hand on my arm. "Everything okay?" I smiled, the best one I could conjure up.

"I'm okay. Just thinking. That's all." The rest of the dinner went rather smoothly, until Shane asked, something that I really wished he would have never asked.

"Have you ever talked about Tessa, to Kevin? Maybe he could help, where the other detectives couldn't." He helped me put my coat on.

"I can't do that." I sighed.

"Why not?"

"He doesn't know about her." I kind of snapped, but took a deep breath. I didn't need to take my problems out on him.

"What?"

"I couldn't tell him."

He nodded. "Then say it was a friend, that way, he won't know."

"Shane, he will know when he pulls up a picture and my face is staring back at him." He hesitated.

"You're different now." He gestured towards me. "You have dark hair. You lost a lot of weight. You even wear contacts to change the color of your eyes." After hearing him name off everything I did to change my appearance, so I didn't look like my twin, I didn't know if I made the right decision. I changed everything. Was it the right thing to do? "Hell, you even changed your last name, so really, you wouldn't even have to worry about it."

"No. I'm not going to do that."

"You don't want to know what happened?" I took a deep breath. I was getting mad. He knew I cared. He knew I wanted answers.

"I'm going to go. Tell Kelly, I said, hi." I left, before he could say anything else. When I got home, I texted Kevin, to let him know I was home. I decided to call it a night. If I didn't go to sleep, I would just be thinking about things that I didn't want to think about. All I wanted was to spend the next 8 hours in a peaceful sleep state.

A Month Later...

"So, you finished all the software updates, to the computers?" Lanie asked, not believing I actually did it.

I nodded, feeling quite pleased with myself. I wasn't tech savvy, so it was a huge accomplishment, to me. "I did it a little too late. I should have done it when I first started here. Now I won't get the chance to appreciate my hard work." I let out a sigh.

"I'm going to miss you. You have been extremely helpful." She slid over some papers on her next and sat on the edge. "You gonna come visit?"

"Probably so much, you will have to kick me out." I smiled. She came over and gave me a hug.

"You better come back." She whispered. I stepped back and noticed there were tears forming in both of our eyes.

I let out a groan. "Let's not cry or say goodbye." I grabbed my jacket and walked over to the door. I turned around. "I'll see you soon." I smiled.

"See you later, sweetie." She said, smiling back. I took a quick look around and walked out. I found it oddly funny, that I was going to miss assisting with boring paperwork and observing Lanie while she did an autopsy. I shook my head. Was there something wrong with me?
