So incase you didn't know, I suck. Ha-ha. Life has been a roller coaster lately for me so bare with me on the updates.

Haley shut the door to Kylie's room quietly. As she turned around she saw Nathan coming down the hall. His face full of worry and concern for his sister. She saw anger and hurt in his baby blue eyes and wanted to take it away. Grabbing Nathan's hand she led him out of the hallway and into the kitchen.

"How is she?" he asked. Keeping his voice low, he fixated his eyes onto hers.

"She's frightened, angry, scared. She wasn't expecting your mother to come back into her life. The nerve of Deb I swear." Haley looked around the kitchen and into the living room. "Where is she anyway?" she asked.

"She left and said she had to do some things to take care of. I thought it would be for the best. Give Kylie some breathing space you know?"

"Do you know why Deb is here?" Haley asked. She grabbed a cup of coffee and handed it to Nathan.

"I have no idea. Maybe to make up for lost time." Nathan shook his head. They both heard footsteps enter the kitchen and turned around to see Lucas.

"Deb is back?" He asked sitting on a stool next to Nathan.

"Yeah unfortunately." Nathan said taking a sip of his coffee. "What brings you here this early in the morning?"

"I dropped kylie off at jess-" Lucas stopped his sentence. And looked at Nathan. His eyes stared into his. "Kylie's dance shoes off at Jessica's. She called me last night and asked for them. Nathan nodded his head as Lucas sighed in relief.

"So where are her shoes?" Nathan questioned.

"Well…um. That's why I came by here. There not at my house so I don't know where she could have put them. That girl would lose her head if it wasn't attached to her body." Lucas said with a nervous laugh.

"Dan Scott. You have gotten fat." She said with a smile as she stood in front of his doorway.

"Well Deb its nice to see you too. But I couldn't really recognize you. Your face has gotten wrinkly. " He said with a smirk and lead her into the living room. "Care for some whiskey?" as she sat down she laughed.

"You drink this early in the morning? Wow you used to wait till at least twelve. No thanks. So why did you call me? I haven't talked to you in years."

"I want my daughter back." Deb looked at him intently.

"Well I don't think that is doable. Apparently from what I heard you weren't much of a father. I may not have been around her a lot, but I'm sure as hell that you are not going to go near her. She is happy with Nathan I can see it in her eyes. She doesn't want to be with you." She got up quickly and walked towards the door.

"I don't think you will say that after what I have to say to you."

Nathan opened the door to Kylie's door quietly. She was still curled up asleep on the bed. He walked over to the side of the bed and sat down on it, brushing the hair out of her eyes, Kylie woke up instantly.

"I'm sorry baby girl. I didn't think you would wake up." She scooted over in the bed and patted down for Nathan to sit with her. He did as he was motion too and sat next to her, tucking the blanket in for her.

"Why is she here? Did you find her and tell her to come?" She asked, not looking at her brother. He turned and faced her.

"No I didn't. I would never do that. Not after what she has done to us. I don't want her hear just as much as you don't. and I have no clue why she is. Maybe she wants to make up-"

Kylie whipped her hear around. "No. Don't say that. If she wanted to make up for what she did she would have never left. Left us with Dan and had you take care of me. She was scared and didn't want to deal with us." She said angrily.

"Kylie I understand that your upset but-"

"Why are you sticking up for her? Its like you think she didn't do anything. Don't you realize if she didn't leave, you wouldn't have to be the one taking care of me?" She said as her eyes filed with tears. Nathan moved closer to her and held her tightly.

"Kylie you mean the world to me. Even if Deb stayed I don't think it would have changed things. And Don't you ever say that again. I love you to death and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love having you around in the house and so does Haley. I would never have you live with Dan. Or Deb." He pressed his lips on top of her head.

"I don't want to talk to her. I don't want to see her. I don't want her in my life because I don't need her. And neither do you." Nathan held her close.

"I know baby girl. I know. You don't have to see her if you don't want to."

"Do you know something I don't know Lucas Scott?" Haley asked as she finished cleaning up the kitchen counter.

"What makes you say that?" Haley looked at him and laughed.

"you're my best friend. I know you like the back of my hand. You were lying for Kylie." Lucas smirked.

"So anyways, how long is Deb staying?" he said changing the subject. Haley shook her head at him. 'just like Nathan' she thought.

"I have no clue. But I hope its not long."
