Hey! Sorry I didn't update yesterday but finals are killing me. Anyways, I will try and update later this week or at least by the weekend.

roslina: Haha, yep…so true and thanks so much!

Guest: Thank you so much yep, they are! And haha thanks. I had to add something with Ally which will make sense in this chapter.

ItsYaGirlTerTer: It's all good. I am happy that were right.

eMILIE: I am so happy to hear you were shocked! That was what I was going for. Thank you too.

kickfeaver: Don't you worry my friend. Things will work out but of course there will be some twist and turns.

swagmasterlol: Omg, 'things are getting spicy' totally made my day and yes things are. I like your idea and will definitely work on that. I don't know if karate will be involved in this story. And you know I had to add some not so happy people…lol

UnbreakableWarrior: Don't worry about the feelings. It will be coming, I promise.

SnookieB123, Anialoveskick, KarateGirl77: Thank you so much!

The conversation felt like it was never going to end. Exchanges about school and music were getting thrown back and forth with much disgust. At one point everyone started to block out the men until one little sentence caught a pair off guard. "And thank god for that tutor Jack had. Otherwise he would still probably be in 10th grade", Charlie added.

At that comment Kim suddenly dropped her fork as Austin gave her a worried look.

"Well at least your son isn't wimpy like mine. Hell Austin can't even throw a football. What teenage boy can't throw a football?" Mike shouted with even more anger.

"Screw you dad", Austin yelled as he shot up from his chair, causing it to fly into the wall. He stormed off with anger in his veins.

Mimi gave Kim a sympathetic look as Kim ran after Austin with Ally and Jack not too far behind, not wanting to be left behind with the adults.

Kim slid into Austin's room right before he slammed his door shut. She was about to talk to him but heard multiple explicit words coming out of his mouth so she decided to let him get all his anger out. After a few more seconds of cursing and pacing the room a gentle knock broke the duos thoughts. Kim was about to answer it but got her hand swatted away from the door knob. "Don't open it", Austin hissed.

Kim wasn't really scared of Austin's tome but was scared about what would happen if she didn't listen. She pleaded with her eyes, asking him to let her at least find out who it is. After a second stare down Austin gave in as Kim talked through the door, "Who is it?"

"It's Ally and Jack", Ally said softly.

Austin shook his head no but Kim gave him the "seriously Austin" look and Austin knew it wasn't worth fighting over so he unwillingly agreed. Kim opened the door and quickly grabbed Ally and Jack inside as the silence followed them.

Ally was clearing her throat still, trying to get rid of the cough she got from when she was choking on her food as Kim asked, "Ally, you ok?"

"Yeah I am fine. Just a little tickle in my throat", Ally said trying to move away from the subject.

Kim nodded and thought about to the real reason they were here and why there was all this anger going around.

Everyone was deep in thought as this time Ally broke the silence and said, "So you guys are cousins huh?" Kim. Austin and Jack look at her in disbelief. "What? I am nervous okay", Ally huffed. Everyone nodded knowing this situation wasn't how anyone pictured it.

Kim and Ally were talking about random things as Jack watched Austin. Austin was looking through some CDs as that prompted the memory of Ally chocking at dinner and that made Jack curious. "Hey Ally, why did you choke when my mom mentioned music?" Jack asked.

"I don't know", Ally replied trying to play dumb.

Jack looked into her eyes and could tell there was something she wasn't saying. Austin also started to fidget and Kim noticed it right away and knew there was something going in between the two.

Jack replayed the conversation or that parts he actually remembered as he really wasn't paying attention. And then everything hit him like a ton of bricks. "Ally, you chocked when my mentioned music with Austin" Jack paused watching Ally's reaction. She didn't flinch so he pushed farther. "Austin is the person you met up with in music room, right?" Jack finished in a strong voice.

Ally felt her chest get tight and the room's temperature rising 20 degrees. This was not the way Jack was suppose to find out or even find out at all but Ally knew she wasn't a very good liar and knew her checks were red; so she decided to just come clean. "Yes, it was Austin", she said in a normal voice.

Jack's eye narrowed as he just went off. "Austin! Really Ally? Out of all the people, you had to become friends with my enemy. The one person I can't stand", Jack yelled.

"Yes I did. I didn't mean for any of this to happen but you have no right to yell at me. And what about you and your friend, the tutor?" Ally yelled back.

That comment instantly shut Jack up as Ally felt proud for standing up for herself. Austin was also proud of Ally but thought about the comment and then the memories from dinner came rushing back into his mind as the memory of Kim dropping her fork at the mention of tutor and right then Austin knew Jack was the one.

Austin looked at Kim, slightly angry but more hurt and said, "Kim, Jack was the one you tutored, right?" harshly.

Kim cheeks flushed a light pink and knew there was no point lying now. "Yes, I was tutoring Jack", Kim said calmly.

"You went behind my back and lied to me? How could you? Especially with the one person I despise the most!" Austin shouted.

Unlike Ally who was pretty posed, Kim was going to fight back swinging. "Oh, bite me Austin. I don't have to tell you everything and if I remember correctly you didn't tell me about Ally so don't talk to me about lying. And in the beginning I didn't have a choice but I decided to stick with it and I feel the outcome turned out pretty damn well", Kim yelled.

"Really? And what outcome is that?" Austin asked bitterly.

"I did it for you", Kim screamed.

Austin gave her a blank expression and said, "It wasn't for me. You did it for yourself. You are just like every other girl at our school who wants to get with him and you saw the perfect opportunity. I just can't believe you stooped down that low or were that desperate".

The room was silent as Kim, Ally and Jack couldn't believe Austin just said that, let alone to his best friend. Kim's eyes were filled with anger, some hatred but mostly shock and hurt. You could tell a slight glaze was starting to spread across Kim's; eyes as she quickly bolted out of the room.

Jack and Ally looked at Austin in disbelief. "You are seriously an ass. She was telling you the truth", Jack said through gritted teeth as he ran after Kim.

When Jack walked to the front door he still heard his dad and uncle going at it was thankful they had no clue what was happening with them as he dint feel like telling them another story.

Jack walked out the door to see Kim sitting on the porch swing with her head buried into her knees. He gently sat down and cautiously put his arm around Kim's shoulder, bringing her close to him. He hated to see her like this and as Kim took in Jack's scent, she was surprise Jack was the one with her. "You ok?" Jack asked softly.

"Austin didn't mean what he said. He was just hurt. You are best friends after all", Jack added, giving Kim a smile.

Kim returned the gesture and then quickly jumped out of Jack's arms, causing him to be confused. "No one can see us together. You are with Ally and I don't want people to get the wrong idea", Kim said softly.

Jack thought for a moment before saying, "Um, actually Ally and I broke up last week".

"Oh, I am sorry to hear that", Kim said sincerely.

"It's alright. It was a mutual agreement and to be honest, we like each other but not in that way", Jack said truthfully.

Kim gave a small nod and smile as Jack thought she looked cute when she was out of things to say.

Back upstairs Austin and Ally were having a similar conversation as Ally was trying to get Austin to calm down. "I can't believe her", Austin groaned angrily.

"Austin please, calm down. I know she hurt you but you hurt her as well. You are both in the same boat but to be honest I feel like you overstepped the line. She is your best friend but to call her actions desperate and low are just as hurtful as being lied to and I think you know that", Ally said tenderly.

Austin was taking everything Ally said into mind and realized that maybe she was right but he wasn't stepping down.

Ally saw that look on Austin's face and knew that this situation wouldn't be solved as easily as she hoped. "Austin I am telling and asking you nicely to be the bigger person and apologize to Kim so we can go back to this wonderful dinner your mother worked so hard on", Ally added.

The sound of his mother, Austin immediately felt terrible because he promised his mother that he would behave and he did for the most part and it would have been better if his father didn't open his mouth. He lowered his head knowing what he had to do. He started to walk to the door with Ally right behind him.

Kim and Jack were sitting in silence, enjoying the peacefulness of it until Jack was about to say something but got distracted by the door opening with Austin and Ally walking out. Kim and Austin stared at each other for a few seconds before Austin said, "Kim I am so sorry I said those horrible thing to you. I was shocked and wasn't thinking. I know you hate me now but I can't lose my best friend so can you please forgive me?"

Kim glared at him and replied, "Whatever, let's pretend like everything is fine so we can finish this damn night" getting up and waling past Austin.

The four took deep breaths before reentering the kitchen that was still loud as Charlie and Mike were still going at it. Once the four were back in the dining room, no one even noticed they were there and the girls knew that since the guys weren't talking it was up to them to stop this madness. Ally nodded, giving Kim permission to talk first as Kim yelled, "Shut it".

Instantly the room was silenced as the teenagers took their original seats. Mike and Charlie were amazed that such a loud voice came out of a petite girl. "Mike, Mr. Brewer. You are both wonderful men but terrible fathers. Mike, Austin is so talented and you need to realize that music is his passion. And Mr. Brewer. Jack is a smart boy who only needed someone to believe in him", Kim said looking at Ally.

Ally smiled and added, "Charlie, Jack does have talent on the court and field. He lights up the floor and is happy. He is only doing the things to get your attention. And Mr. Moon, music is a talent and something I love with great passion. And like Austin, when we play we create magic and something that touches the heart".

Not a word was spoken as Victoria and Mimi looked at the girls with admiration. They stood up to the men and proved strength, heart and acceptance to them.

"So can we please enjoy the rest of the night that Mimi worked so hard on", Kim finished with a smile. Everyone, including the men nodded and continued eating in silence.

The rest of the night went well as the men stopped talking altogether, not wanting another argument. Kim and Ally were getting to know each other better and Jack and Austin were having an internal battle with themselves realizing that the one person they didn't like knew exactly what they were going through.

This revelation really messed up their plans for the summer but even in the worse situations there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

And we are done. Again, hopefully another chapter will be up later this week after finals. Please R&R and let me know what you think.

We are so close to a big number so please let's try and get 105 reviews before the next chapter!

Thanks and until next time,
