The door opened and out came her brother, keys in hand. "Have you seen Kay," he asked.

"She just ran out the door, which is why I want to know what you did," Veronica asked, giving Reid a suspicious glare.

"Look, it's nothing. I'm going to take care of it right now," Reid said, rushing past her down the stairs.

The cold air hit Reid as he looked around the front yard for Kayla but there was no sign

of the girl. "Dammit Kay," muttered Reid.

Kayla held back her tears as she opened the door to her dorm. If her roommate was in, she did not want her to see her crying. Thankfully, the room was empty. Falling face first on her bed, Kayla let the tears she had been holding back flow freely.

Reid got to his soul mate's room and started loudly knocking on the door. "Kay, open in up," he called. When he got no reaction, Reid used to open the door.

"Reid, get out," Kayla shouted, hurling a lamp at him.

"Babe, please let me apologize," he begged.

"I don't want to hear it," Kayla snapped. "Reid, I knew what you were like before we started dating; how you were a player but I never judged you. I may have thought someday you would cheat on me but I never thought you would ever hurt me. Reid, you used on me."

"Ka-," Reid tried to say.

"No, just get out. It's over Reid," Kayla sobbed. As he walked out, Reid heard Kayla slam

the door and then crying followed. This was the stupidest thing he had ever done. How could he have ever hurt his soul mate? There had to be a way to win Kayla back and Reid knew he had to find it.

And now…

Chapter Twenty Five: Torn Apart

"You do realize you're sleeping in a hallway right," asked Tiffany. Pogue had dropped her off at the dorms and on her way to her dorm; she had found the blonde son of Ipswich in the middle of the hallway, leaning against Kayla's door asleep.

"Huh, I must have dozed off," said Reid.

"What are you doing here anyway? This is the girl's dorm," Tiffany reminded him. "If you get caught…"

"I know," he interrupted, "but Kay won't speak to me and I have to talk to her."

"Can I offer some advice," Tiffany asked.

"At this point, I'm willing to try anything," admitted Reid.

"Give her some space. I'm sure you'll be able to patch things up later but for now let her cool down," suggested Tiffany. "What happened between you two anyway?"

"I-I did something terrible," Reid sighed.

"Terrible as in…" Tiffany trailed off.

"No I didn't cheat on her; something else," answered Reid as he got up.

"Something worse. See ya later kid." Reid picked up his jacket from the floor and headed out, heading back to his and Tyler's room.

It might have bee pity or maybe just an impulse but Tiffany knocked on Kayla's door and waited. She tried again after no one answered and said, "Kayla, its Tiff. I sent Reid back to his room if you want to talk."

The door opened and Kayla stepped. "Reid's the most stubborn person I know," she told Tiffany. "How did you get him to leave?"

"I have my ways," she smiled. "You okay?"

"No, no I'm not," Kayla, admitted.

"Well if you need someone to talk to…," Tiffany trailed off.

"Thanks but this is something I should talk to Ronnie about," said Kayla.

"Oh okay, I understand," said Tiffany. "I'll see you later.

"Yeah, talk to you later," Kayla gave her a small smile before closing the door.

oOo

Kayla really did not want to go to school the next morning or any other place she would have to see Reid. See could feel the stares she was getting behind her as she walked the halls. Girls looked at her with pity and guys looked at her, waiting for the right time to make their move.

"Hey, what happened last night," asked Veronica when Kayla took her seat next the girl in calculus.

"I'll tell you later," she muttered. Class was starting and everyone was already silent.

At lunch, Kayla hid out in the library. She had not seen Reid all say but she did not want to take the risk of running into him. Unfortunately, luck was not on her side and Reid found her sitting in the back.

"Please, just hear me out," he pleaded.

"Reid, I really don't want to talk to you right now," she said, getting up.

"Please babe, I need you right now," he begged. "I'm sorry for what I did. I don't know what got into me."

"You really hurt me, you know that," she glared at him.

"I am sorry; so sorry and I promise to never hurt you again," he pleaded, pulling her into his arms. "You have no idea how much I love you. You're everything I wanted, everything I didn't know I wanted, and everything I'll ever want."

"I love you too Reid," admitted Kayla.

"Then please forgive me. On more chance, that's all I ask," said Reid.

"I-I'm sorry but I can't," sobbed Kayla. "It's over Reid."
