The next few weeks for Kay went pretty good. She and Caleb still got into heated arguments but what brother and sister didn't. The only problem was Tyler. He was perfect don't get her wrong he made her feel great but that was the problem. She was getting too attached they still haven't had sex. They would talk for hours in her dorm about everything and nothing at the same time instead of making out and more like she did with the others. It scared her. She needed to find a way to distance herself.
She walked into Photography class making sure Kyle was closer to her than usual when she saw Tyler looking at them.
"What was all that about?" Tyler asked.
"Nothing, just Kyle confirming our date for tonight that's all."
"Hope you have fun." Tyler said trying to sound nonchalant about the whole thing.
"Oh don't worry Kyle said he'd make sure we would." She said with a sly smile.
"Great" Tyler muttered.

Tyler walked to his dorm trying to ignore the pang of jealousy he felt about Kay, but this is what they agreed on a non-exclusive relationship. Just last week he flaunted in her face how many different girls he was dating so he had no right to be mad. He actually thought she was going to grow out of this, guess he was wrong.
He looked at his watch it was about 5:30. He continued to walk and then his cell phone rang. It was his dad. He already knew what it was about. Yale. He didn't feel like arguing about college again he wanted to go to USC not Yale. He's told his father numerous times but it's not like he listens. His mom was always getting sick and he wasn't going to burden her with his problems but still he would have liked to have somebody back him up on this. Kay wanted to go out west too, she could go wherever she wanted with the money she had in her trust fund. She got why he didn't want to go to Yale she even said he wouldn't fit in there, which made him laugh because everybody else thought it was perfect.
He finally picked up the phone after the tired call.
"I don't want to talk about this dad, not today."
"What do you mean you don't want to talk about it we have to; this is vital for your future" His father barked in his ear.
"Not now" Tyler practically yelled and hung up the phone.
He was tired of this whole situation. He needed someone to talk to.
--
Kay was standing in front of her mirror when she heard a knock on her door she turned around and saw Tyler standing in her doorway walking towards her bed.
"What are you doing here?" She asked curiously. He knew she had a date.
"I needed to talk to some one. My Dad is driving me crazy on this college thing. I need to sort it all out."
Kay looked at him and knew this was her chance to distance herself at least a little bit. "I cant I have my date tonight with Kyle, maybe later or something." Pretending to be distracted by her make-up.
"Can't you just cancel?" he asked, his blue eyes boring into her soul. He was looking at her and his eyes were saying to choose him, begging her to.
She turned around and sighed. "He's already in the parking lot." she said as she walked by him and opened the door. "Look why don't you call Chloe or something, I'm busy right now." And with that she shut the door behind her and leaned on it. She couldn't even describe the guilt she felt when she saw his face, but it had to be done.

Tyler was beyond mad when Kay had left. But even more than that, he was disappointed.
He drove for hours before heading back to his dorm. He didn't get it why was she always hot and cold he was tired of it. He opened his dorm room hoping Reid wasn't there. Reid wasn't but Cindy was.
"Cindy what are you doing here?"
"I came to know why?" Her eyes were bloodshot red and he could see the dried tears on her face.
"Why what?" His eyes brows burrowed together.
"Why you would just break up with me for no apparent reason and then hook up with nearly half the school." Her voice was low but she was looking straight at him determined for an answer.
"I'm not hooking up with half the school." He mumbled.
"According to all the rumors you are."
"Well don't always believe rumors." Was the best Tyler could come up with.
"We were happy weren't we?" she said dejectedly.
"Yeah once,"
"Then why?" she her voice shook as the tears spilled down her face. "You owe me Tyler, I was with you when your mom got really ill and I don't blame you for that, but how many girlfriends you know would stay with you for months while you ignored them. You didn't call not even once." She cried in his shoulder. "Not even once."
"I'm sorry," he whispered into her hair as he wrapped his arms around her.
"I don't want you to be sorry; I want us to be together." She looked at him with sad eyes.
All thoughts of how Kay left him when he needed her fled back into his head. He looked at Cindy. Cindy was always there even when he didn't want her to be. She might have been suffocating but at least she had the ability to feel something unlike Kay and with that he simply whispered.
"Then we are; we're together."
"Are you serious?" she replied with hope in her voice.
"Yeah we're together." he said half-heartedly.
--
Later on Kay walked back to her room. She didn't even get to enjoy her date. Even with how much Kyle tried to cheer her up she was still down on what she did to Tyler. It wasn't supposed to get to her like this he's just another guy she tried to convince herself.
When she got to her floor she looked up and Tyler was standing in front of her door.
"I came to tell you that I'm back with Cindy."
"And why'd you feel you had to tell me that? This is non-exclusive remember. All you had to do was tell me this had to stop and its over." She said disguising any emotion in her voice.
"Just thought I should tell you." He at least thought she was going to fight for this, for them, a little.
"Well you told me." she said flatly.
Tyler turned to walk away before hearing Kay say, "I thought you didn't want complicated."
"You don't always get what you want." he replied turning toward her.
"Ever since we were little some one always told us we couldn't always get what we want. Why can't we break the rules just this once?" She whispered looking him straight into his eyes. "But fine it's your decision, the contracts now null and void."
She turned her back towards Tyler and opened her door ignoring the pain in the pit of her stomach.
Which brother do you guys want?
