Chapter Eleven
Kieran To The Rescue
It's early the next morning. Kieran is sitting on the doorstep outside her house. Daniella sudden appears next to her son.
"What's wrong son?" Daniella asked.
"I'm just thinking about the one person that makes my heart skip a beat". Kieran answered.
"Do you mean your best friend?" Daniella asked.
"Yes I do mom." Kieran answered.
Daniella gets to her feet and walks back inside. Kaleigh walks into the living room wearing a blue tank top and a long black skirt with hair in high ponytail. Marguerite appears in the doorway.
"Could you go to the store for me?" Marguerite asked.
"Yeah sure mom." Kaleigh answered.
"Here's a list of what I'd like to get." Marguerite replied.
"Thanks mom." Kaleigh said
"See you when you get back." Marguerite replied.
Marguerite passes the money and list of things to get to Kaleigh. Kaleigh smiles at her mother.
"Can I get something for myself with the left over money?" Kaleigh asked.
"Yeah of course sweetie." Marguerite answered.
Kaleigh smiles again, she starts walking down the street and her ponytail sways back 'n' forth. Kieran jumps to his feet and follows Kaleigh. Kaleigh is almost at the store when these two guys jump out in front of her.
"What do we have here?" the first boy asked.
"I'm running an errand for mom." Kaleigh answered.
"Oh is that so." the second boy said.
"Give us your money." the first boy replied.
"NOOO." Kaleigh yelled.
Kieran jumps in between Kaleigh and the two boys.
"Leave her alone or else you have me to deal with." Kieran screamed.
"You think you take us on". the first boy said.
"I don't think I know I can take you two on so let's go." Kieran replied.
Kieran punches the guys in the stomach. The guys groans in pain. Kieran snickers. The guys get to his feet and the first guy goes to punch in the stomach but Kieran catches the his hand. Kaleigh gets a confused look on her face. Kieran punches the two guys to the ground, they get to their feet and they run away screaming.
"Why did you do that?" Kaleigh asked.
"I just can't stand to see anything happen to you." Kieran answered.
Kaleigh shakes her head and walks back to her house to get ready for Frankie's sleepover. Marguerite is sitting on the couch in the living room watching TV. Kaleigh runs up to her room and starts going through the closet. A few minutes she comes across a long black shiny spaghetti strap dress. Kaleigh puts on the dress and than puts a butterfly clip in her hair. Marguerite walks by the room and when she sees her daughter she comes in.
"Where do you think you are going dressed like that?" Marguerite asked.
"I'm going to Frankie's sleepover party." Kaleigh answered.
Marguerite looks at her daughter from head to toe.
"You're not going anywhere dressed like that." Marguerite said.
"Why not?" Kaleigh asked.
"It's not something I want my daughter going out in." Marguerite answered.
"Well I'm going out in whether you like it or not." Kaleigh yelled.
"Okay fine than but at lease take a jacket." Marguerite said.
Kaleigh walks over to the coat tree, she takes her tight leather jacket than puts it on and leaves the house. Kieran is just coming out at the same time that Kaleigh.
"Howdy neighbor." Kieran yelled.
Kaleigh smiles.
"Hi there." Kaleigh said.
"Where are you heading to?" Kieran asked.
"I'm going to Frankie's sleepover party." Kaleigh answered.
"Oh cool so I am." Kieran said.
"You right that is cool." Kaleigh replied.
Kaleigh starts walking in the direction of Frankie's house. Daniella is watching from her living room window and Marguerite looks out her window. They both smile a little. Kieran follows Kaleigh to Frankie's house.
"Why are you following me?" Kaleigh asked.
"I told you I was invited too." Kieran answered.
"Well you could go another way you know." Kaleigh said.
"I could do that but I don't want to." Kieran replied.
Kaleigh shakes her head and starts walking faster. Kieran sighs than he teleports to Frankie's house and knocks on the door. Frankie opens the door.
"Welcome Kieran and come on in". Frankie said.
Kieran smiles and walks inside. A few minutes later Kaleigh appears and Frankie ushers her in. Kaleigh walks inside. Frankie smiles.
"Well let's start having some fun now that everyone is here." Frankie replied.
Kaleigh walks over to the table where the food is and pours herself a glass of punch. Frankie follows Kaleigh.
"Are you okay tonight?" Frankie asked.
"Yeah I'm just fine." Kaleigh answered.
Frankie walks back to where everyone else is and Kaleigh follows her.
"What we are going to do now?" Hayley asked.
"I was thinking that we could play a round of truth or dare." Frankie answered.
"That's sounds like a good idea." Estuardo said.
Frankie smiles a little.
"I'll go first since it was my idea." Frankie replied.
"What do you pick than?" Hayley asked.
"I pick truth." Frankie answered.
"Oh I have one." Kaleigh said.
"Well let's hear it." Hayley replied.
"Is it true that you love Estuardo Aino?" Kaleigh asked.
Frankie blushes a little.
"Yes it's true." Frankie answered.
Estuardo looks at Frankie and blushes a little too. Hayley looks at Kaleigh.
"It's your turn now." Hayley said.
"Well in that case I pick dare." Kaleigh replied.
Frankie grins.
"I dare you go on the Ferris wheel at the carnival tomorrow night." Frankie said.
"Are you crazy?" Kaleigh asked.
"No I'm not but if you don't do it than I'll tell everyone here about the reason that you are so upset lately." Frankie answered.
"Alright fine I'll do it." Kaleigh said.
Kieran is sitting beside Frankie and leans over to her ear.
"You are really mean you know that and you also that she's deathly afraid of heights." Kieran whispered.
"Oh shut up." Frankie said.
Kieran growls than gets to his feet and walks off swearing in Spanish. Frankie looks at Estuardo.
"What?" Estuardo asked.
"Translation please." Frankie answered.
"Are you sure that you want to know what he said?" Estuardo asked.
"Yes I do." Frankie answered.
"Okay than…he basically told go blank yourself." Estuardo answered.
Frankie's mouth drops open in shock.
"He's changed so much because he never use to swear." Frankie said.
Kaleigh lets out a long sigh. Frankie turns her attention to Kaleigh just as Kieran returns. Kieran sits in between Hayley and Kaleigh. Frankie looks at Kaleigh and notices that she's a little pale but doesn't say anything. Hayley turns to Kaleigh to tell her something and notices how pale she is.
"Are you okay?" Hayley asked.
Kaleigh shakes her head no.
"No I'm not and I want to go home." Kaleigh answered.
"It's too late to walk home and nobody here can drive." Hayley said.
Kaleigh sighs again.
"Maybe I should phone my mother." Kaleigh replied.
Kaleigh goes to get up but she falls back down. The people that are they turn the attention Kaleigh.
"What is wrong with you tonight?" Estuardo asked.
"I don't know." Kaleigh answered.
Hayley looks at Frankie.
"Do you think it's possible that all her depression of missing you know has gotten to her?" Hayley asked.
"It's a possibility." Frankie answered.
Kieran shifts his weight and lets a long sigh.
"Alright let's continue playing truth or dare." Hailie said.
Frankie looks at Kieran.
"It's your turn." Frankie replied.
"Do I have to?" Kieran asked.
"Yes you do." Frankie answered.
"Okay than I pick dare." Kieran said.
Frankie grins.
"I dare you tell us who you really are." Frankie replied.
"No I won't do that." Kieran said.
"Fine than you have to kiss another guy of your choice." Frankie replied.
"What?" Kieran asked.
"You heard me." Frankie answered.
"Oh that's digesting." Hayley said.
Kieran sighs and kisses Estuardo. All the woman start laughing except for Kaleigh. It's the next day now and everyone that was at the sleepover is at the carnival. Frankie looks at the Ferris Wheel than looks at Kaleigh.
"Are you ready to do your dare now?" Frankie asked.
"Yes I guess it would be better to get it over with." Kaleigh answered.
Kieran is there and he shakes his head than walks off. Frankie smiles evilly. Kaleigh gets into the Ferris wheel. Frankie pushes the button to start and Kaleigh starts going up. Kaleigh looks down at the ground and gets really scared. The Ferris wheel reaches the top and than sudden stops with Kaleigh trapped. Kaleigh whimpers in fear. Frankie stats laughing evilly. Estuardo looks at Frankie.
"Why did you do that?" Estuardo asked.
"I did it to get Kaleigh and Kieran together because they aren't getting together on their own." Frankie answered.
Estuardo shakes his head and walks off. Frankie follows him. Kaleigh is freaking out now.
"Someone help me please." Kaleigh screamed.
Kieran is just coming out of the bathroom and hears Kaleigh's cries for help. Kieran runs to where the cries of help are coming from.
Kieran looks up at the Ferris wheel.
"Uh Oh." Kieran said.
Kieran starts to climb up the Ferris wheel. Kaleigh starts to feel the Ferris wheel creaking.
"What is going on?" Kaleigh asked.
Kieran pops up in front of her.
"I thinking you mean what's coming up and that what would be me." Kieran answered.
"What are you doing up here anyway?" Kaleigh asked.
"I came to rescue you." Kieran answered.
"Well I don't need rescuing especially from you." Kaleigh said.
"Do you really want to stay up for the rest of your life?" Kieran asked.
"No, I don't but I also don't want to go anyway with you because I don't know you." Kaleigh answered.
"That's where you are wrong because you know me very well." Kieran said.
"What do you mean?" Kaleigh asked.
"It's not as important as getting you down from here." Kieran answered.
Kaleigh sighs.
"Alright let's get down out of here because I'm really starting to get scared." Kaleigh said.
Kieran picks Kaleigh in his arms and starts climbing down the Ferris wheel. They get down to the ground and Kieran puts Kaleigh down. Kaleigh leans down and kisses the ground.
"What are you doing?" Kieran asked.
"I'm so happy to be on the ground again." Kaleigh answered.
"Okay than." Kieran said.
"Why did you save me?" Kaleigh asked.
"I can't answer that but maybe if you ask me questions about yourself than you might be able to figure out who I am on your own." Kieran answered.
"What do you mean?" Kaleigh asked.
"I mean that I bet I can answer question about you correctly." Kieran answered.
"Oh I get it now". Kaleigh said.
"Alright in that case start asking away." Kieran replied.
"What's my favorite color?" Kaleigh asked.
"Your favorite color is baby pink." Kieran answered.
"How old will I be on my next birthday?" Kaleigh asked.
"You will be 18 on your next birthday." Kieran answered.
"When was I born?" Kaleigh asked.
"You were born on the 30 day of the 7 month in year of 1977." Kieran answered.
"What is my special talent?" Kaleigh asked.
"You are ambidextrous." Kieran answered.
Kaleigh thinks for a minute.
"How old was I when my father died?" Kaleigh asked.
"You were 2 years old when your father died." Kieran answered.
"Wow...you really do know everything about but how is that possible." Kaleigh said.
"You mean to tell that you still don't know who I am." Kieran replied.
Kaleigh shakes her head.
"No I haven't got a clue." Kaleigh said.
"Well I tried but obviously I didn't try hard enough." Kieran replied.
"Oh it's okay and don't be so hard on yourself." Kaleigh said.
Kieran glances at his wristwatch and notices that it's getting late.
"Oh shoot I didn't realize late it was so I better get home before my mother grounds me for life and I'm sorry that you didn't figure out who I am but believe you will because I will make sure of it." Kieran replied.
"Bye-Bye." Kaleigh said.
Kieran starts to head back to his house.
"See ya around my Kale." Kieran replied as he's walking away.
Kaleigh's mouth drops open from and than she runs after Kieran.
"Wait up Kier." Kaleigh yelled.
"If I knew saying my nickname for you would have been the key to you figuring out who I was than I would have said it early." Kieran said.
Kaleigh hugs Kieran really tight.
"Oh I'm so glad that you are back now because I missed you so much." Kaleigh replied.
Kieran hugs Kaleigh back.
"There's something I've wanted to ask you for a long time even before I went away but I didn't think it would be a good idea back than." Kieran said.
"You can ask me anything you should know that by now." Kaleigh replied.
Kieran smiles and little.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" Kieran asked.
"Yes of course I will but I think for awhile we should try to keep it quiet." Kaleigh answered.
"That's fine with me." Kieran said.
"Well we should be heading home and don't worry about your mother because I'll tell her it's my fault that you're late." Kaleigh replied.
Kieran smiles.
"You don't have to do that." Kieran said.
"I know that but I want to." Kaleigh replied.
They start walking towards their house and Kieran takes Kaleigh's hand in his as they are walking. They arrive Kieran's house. Daniella is standing outside the house with a very cross look on her face.
"Kieran Miguel Serenity it's way past your bedtime young man." Daniella said in angry tone.
"It's my fault Mrs. Serenity because I wanted to spend some time with him so that we could catch up on everything that we missed over the year and half." Kaleigh replied.
"Okay in that case I'll let it pass for this time but don't let it happen again." Daniella said.
Kieran nods his head.
"Don't it worry it won't mother." Kieran replied.
Daniella smiles and walks back inside.
"I'll see you tomorrow my Kale." Kieran said.
"Yeah sweetie dreams Kier." Kaleigh replied.
Kieran leans in and kisses Kaleigh goodnight. A few minutes later he breaks the kiss and walks inside to his house. Kaleigh walks across the street, she goes inside than leans against the front door and lets out a long sigh.
"Wow he's an awesome kissing and I can't wait until I see him again tomorrow." Kaleigh thinks to herself.
Kaleigh walks up to her bedroom, she gets dressed for bed than falls onto her bed and she fall asleep as soon as head hits the pillow.
