Chapter 10: A Fresh Start

Becky POV

I heard the door close and I turned around to see Casey and Brax walk in, without Cheryl. I let out a sigh of relief that went unnoticed by everyone else, I'm glad she didn't come back – it would only led to more arguments and snide comments.

Before anyone could ask, Brax said, "She's gone back. We talked to her but she decided that she wasn't gonna stick around."

Heath nodded and asked, "What about Darcy?"

Brax said, "You'll have to take her back yourself mate."

Darcy left her dad's side and went to greet her uncles.

"Hey Darce," Casey said, as he crouched down to give her a hug and then let her move onto Brax.

"You're getting big now aren't you?" Brax commented as he greeted his niece.

Darcy just smiled shyly. As Brax and Casey settled down, Brax started asking Heath about Bianca and Heath told him that they had made up now and everything was fine.

"Listen, the small flat opposite is ready to move in now so are you gonna ask her?" Brax asked Heath.

"I already did, she said yes but I'll let her know today." Heath responded.

"You're moving out?" Casey questioned.

"Chill mate, we'll only be across the hall," Heath replied.

Brax said, "Yeah, Kyle can move into Heath's room then."

"Hang on," Casey interrupted, "Heath is moving out because of them two."

"No," Heath said, "Me and Bianca need our own space anyway, after everything that's happened with Rocco and stuff; we are trying to move on – a fresh start."

"Listen, I'll go see Bianca and tell her to pack. Hopefully we can move in today," Heath said.

"So it's pizza and beers tonight then?" Brax questioned.

"Yeah sure, Darcy you stay here I'll be back," Heath said as he kissed Darcy on the top of her head and then he left the house.

"Kyle, can I move into Heath's room instead?" I asked.

"Why?" Kyle questioned.

"It's bigger than my room," I admitted.

"Sure," Kyle replied.

Darcy looked up at me and said sadly, "I wish I knew that they were moving in with each other before, I could have got something for Dad and Bianca or made something for them."

"Listen Darcy, your dad won't mind, as long as you're here," I said, attempting to cheer her up.

However, my words didn't comfort her at all but luckily, I had an idea.

"Hey Darcy, do you like chocolate cake?" I asked.

"Yeah," Darcy said, "Dad and Bianca do too."

"Well then," I responded, "I have an idea."

Darcy's face lit up when she heard what I had planned.

Kyle POV

I went into the kitchen, where Becky and Darcy were making a cake for Heath and Bianca.

"Hey Darcy," I said, "Can I lick the bowl?"

"No," Darcy said, giggling, "We haven't finished yet, have we Becky?"

"No, we haven't Darcy, you tell him," Becky said.

I could see that despite the amount of time they had spent together, they seemed to get on really well. It was weird – Darcy reminded me so much of Becky when she was younger, so innocent and sweet.

"Well, I don't think you'll mind if I just try a little bit – just to see how it tastes. Anyway, you should listen to me, I'm your uncle after all," I said teasingly as I dodged around Darcy and stuck my finger in the bowl and licked it.

"Keep your hands to yourself Kyle," Becky said.

"You know, if the cake mixture tastes good before it cooked, it should be really nice when it does. Maybe I should have a little more," I said teasingly looking at Darcy.

"No, no you can't Kyle," Darcy said as she guarded the bowl protectively.

"Maybe I'll have to tickle you to get you away from there," I said as I started tickling my niece.

"No, no," she protested in between laughs.

"Come on Kyle," Becky interrupted as she looked onto the scene amused, "Leave her now, she's got a cake to finish!"

I relented and stopped tickling Darcy and said feigning seriousness, "When it's cooked, I expect a big slice."

Darcy nodded and said, "Only if you don't have any more now."

"Deal," I said as I stuck out my hand and Darcy shook it.

I then left the kitchen but I heard her say to Becky, "I like Kyle now, he's funny – just like Dad," and I heard Becky laughing at the comment.

Becky POV

We had finished decorating the cake just as Bianca and Heath had arrived after leaving their bags in their new flat.

"Don't show them the cake yet, I want it to be a surprise," Darcy said.

I nodded and drew my fingers over my lips to show that my lips were sealed.

Darcy went to say hello to Bianca who was pleased to see her.

"Where's the pizza?" Heath questioned.

"Casey's gone to get it and the beers are in the fridge," Brax replied.

Casey POV

Dinner was well under way as us boys were drinking beer and the girls were drinking juice. Bianca, Darcy and Becky were talking to each other – I didn't like the way she fit in so easily with everyone, she seemed to be getting on well with Bianca now as well as Darcy. I had always thought that I was Darcy's favourite, just because I was younger than Brax and we had a lot of fun together.

The pizza had finished and the pizza boxes and beer cans were scattered around when Darcy re-entered the room with Becky, who was holding a cake.

"We made this cake for you – as a little present for moving in and I know that you both love chocolate," Darcy declared to Heath and Bianca.

Becky put the cake down as Darcy got trapped in Heath and Bianca's arms.

"I love you kiddo," Heath said.

"I love you too Dad. Now, you have to cut the cake and you have to make sure that Kyle gets a big slice,." Darcy replied as she looked over at Kyle who smiled back.

I know that Darcy is a sweet kid and everything but even she accepted Kyle and Becky without a second thought, was I the only one who didn't get along with them?

My thoughts were interrupted when Darcy came to give me some cake.

"Thanks Darcy," I said, "It looks delicious."

"Becky did most of it, I just helped," Darcy said.

"No Darcy, I couldn't have done it without you," Becky said.

Darcy glowed at this, proud of her work that everyone seemed to be enjoying.

Kyle POV

I yawned as I finished my beer can. Heath and Bianca had gone to their new flat after dropping Darcy off and the rest of us were sat down after clearing away the mess.

"Don't forget Casey, you're going to school tomorrow – it's Monday," Brax said.

Casey groaned and was about to argue when Brax said, "Don't even think about arguing, you've already missed a lot as it is."

"What's the point Brax? I've probably failed anyway," Casey said.

"Listen Case, you will keep trying all right and you'll get your HSC," Brax said.

Remembering the earlier conversation I had with Brax, when Becky and Darcy were baking, I said, "Becky, tomorrow morning we've got an appointment to get you enrolled in the school. The uniform is in your room."

"You're kidding me right?" Becky said, "I'm not going to school here Kyle, no way. I haven't even been here a week."

"You're going Becky and that's that," I said, showing my authority.

"I thought you didn't know if we were even going to stay here though," Becky pointed out.

Brax intervened and said, "Well, it looks like you're staying around, for a while anyway, so you don't want to miss out on any school."

"I'll live," Becky said.

"Tomorrow morning, don't be late," I said.

"If you think I'm going to school here Kyle Bennett, you're got another thing coming!" Becky shouted as she left the living room and slammed her new bedroom door.

I sighed – I knew that telling her wasn't going to be easy. I just want this to be a fresh start, for both of us.

Becky POV

I sat in the Ute in silence with my new school uniform on – I have had my fair share of schools but this one had the worst uniform! Kyle had told me that he wanted this to be a fresh start and that going to school was just a part of it. I knew that I should just get on with it because there's nothing I can do to change it. Too soon, he stopped the Ute and stepped out of it, waiting for me to do the same.

Sighing, I opened the door and left the Ute as I took in my surroundings and followed Kyle as we made our way towards Summer Bay High School – my new school, a fresh start.
