"I didn't sleep with her." Kyle looked down. Heath raised his eyebrows.

"You're sure?" Heath wasn't going to lie, he didn't believe his brother.

"Yes. I'm sure I didn't sleep with her." Heath frowned Kyle was still avoiding eye contact. He was very clearly hiding something.

"Then what was that text message about this morning?"

"You went through my phone?"

Heath glared at him. "Answer the question."

Kyle shook his head. "I don't know."

'How can you not know?" Heath snapped. Kyle shrugged. Heath raised an eyebrow.

"Fine. I'll just ask Phoebe if she knows what the message is about."

Heath was only able to take one step before Kyle shoved him back. "Are you kidding me? It will kill her." Kyle spoke through gritted teeth.

"What the hell happened last night? What fun was she talking about?"

Kyle opened his mouth found himself lost for words. Kyle looked back at the girls.

"Kyle?"

Kyle swallowed. "We kissed. That's all. I swear."

Heath groaned, running a hand through his hair. He couldn't exactly judge Kyle for kissing someone else, considering his own actions in the past. "I know. I'm an idiot."

Heath looked back at the girls. "Kyle. You've got to tell her."

Kyle shook his head. "I can't."

Ricky suddenly came to a stop beside Kyle. "Not all of us like our snags burnt to charcoal."

Heath looked at her quizzically. She pointed to the barbeque. Heath quickly stepped into action, salvaging the sausages that weren't completely blackened.

Kyle stood awkwardly. Ricky frowned at him. "You right?"

"What?" Kyle looked at her. "Uh yeah. Fine."

Ricky nodded before she looked between the two men. Neither said a word.

Heath took a breath before turning off the barbie. "Alright. Should we go wolf these down?"

Ricky nodded and lifted the tray that the snags lay on.

Heath followed after her, turning to glare at Kyle before he took his seat next to his wife.

Kyle gulped quietly as his elder brother looked at him. Bianca saw the look her husband gave him and let out an audible, "No."

Phoebe unaware of the guilt Kyle was feeling, smiled softly as she passed him the salad bowl.

All through their dinner Kyle sat uncomfortably avoiding eye-contact with everyone, something that didn't go unnoticed by Phoebe. "Are you alright?" She asked as they cleared the table much later that night. The children had already gone to sleep and Ricky had bid them all a goodnight a few minutes ago as well.

Kyle nodded. "Yeah."

Phoebe looked at him disbelievingly. "Kyle?"

Kyle glanced at her, trying to appear less guilty than the he felt. Clearly he failed miserably as Phoebe raised an eyebrow. "Kyle. I know you. What's wrong?"

Kyle hadn't meant for any of the night before to happen. He really didn't. Kyle knew it was stupid. He'd never intentionally hurt Phoebe, but he knew is she found out she'd be heartbroken. "Nothing. Everything's good."

Phoebe knew he was lying, it wasn't difficult to tell but she decided to let it slide for now. Nodding her head slowly. "If you're sure."

Kyle kissed the top of her nose, causing Phoebe to emit a small giggle. "I am." He glanced towards the pool. "Come on…." He grabbed her hand, walking over to the pool.

Bianca stood in the kitchen, watching through the window as they jumped into the water.

"It's his call Bee. We can't force him to tell her." Heath stood next to her.

Bianca shook her head. "It's not fair. She's finally okay and then he goes and does this. Why are Braxton's so stupid?"

Heath couldn't deny that he and his brother's weren't exactly known for making the best decisions.

"He's an idiot. I'll give you that." Heath nodded. He glanced out the window watching as Phoebe splashed about in an attempt to get out of Kyle's grasp as he tickled her. "But he loves her."

"Then why isn't he being honest with her?" Bianca snapped.

"Because he doesn't want to hurt her." Heath told his wife. "And we have to respect that."

"So we're all just going to lie to her?" Bianca shook her head. "Heath you don't lie to the people you love."

"Bianca. It's not up to us. We just have to trust the fact that Kyle loves her and won't do anything to hurt her again."

Bianca sighed and shook her head. "I'm going to bed."

Heath sighed, running a hand roughly through his hair as his wife left. He didn't agree with Kyle deciding to keep secrets from Phoebe but he understood the decision Kyle had made and wasn't going to tell her.

Phoebe wrapped her legs tighter around Kyle's waist as he pulled her closer, neither breaking their kiss.

"I love you." Kyle murmured into her mouth.

Phoebe smiled and pulled away slightly to catch her breath. "I love you too." She returned to kissing him for a moment before pulling away again. "You're sure you're okay though?" He really hadn't been himself all night.

Kyle nodded. "I promise." He began to press tiny kisses down her neck. "I love you Phoebs…so…so…so much."

Phoebe smiled, shutting her eyes as he spoke. Phoebe giggled lightly as Kyle slipped his hands under her bikini bottoms.

"Kyle," She muttered softly causing him to pull away. "We're not having sex in your brother's pool." Kyle exhaled with a slight chuckle as he placed a kiss on her forehead.

Phoebe grinned at him as she swam quickly towards the steps.

"Where are you going?"

"Bed," Phoebe turned around as she climbed out of the pool, "Are you coming?"

Kyle grinned at her before following quickly behind her.

VJ slid a juice across the table towards Cece. "Hey."

Cece eyes widened as she snapped out of her trance. "Hey. What's this for?"

VJ shrugged and took a sip of his own juice. "What've you been up too, I feel like we haven't seen each other in ages."

Cece raised an eyebrow. "I know I'm great and everything but can you really not go 24 hours without me?" She grinned.

VJ grinned. "Well yeah, but you know…Jett was there."

Cece scrunched up her face. "Should he not have been?"

VJ mentally kicked himself. "I mean...we never hang out...just us."

Cece grinned. "We're hanging out right now?"

VJ shook his head, visibly frustrated. "Yeah I guess we are."

Cece smiled softly and shook her head. "I'm kidding. Do you want to go see a movie tonight or something?"

VJ didn't want to appear too eager, so instead of shouting a resounding 'yes' like he wanted to. He nonchalantly replied, "Sounds good."

As Cece smiled, taking a sip of her juice she didn't notice the wide smile that spread across VJ's face as soon as she looked away from him.

"What's up with you?" Vj was being creepy, his grin as wide as the Cheshire cat's.

Vj shrugged. "Nothing."

"Sure." Jett didn't believe his best friend. "Did you want to go see that movie, The Martian, tonight? I've heard it's good."

Vj shook his head. "Can't. Cece and I are going tonight."

"Oh. That explains the weird smile then."

"What? No it doesn't. It's just a movie." Vj told him defensively.

"Oh? Then can I come as well?"

"NO." VJ snapped causing Jett to laugh. "Relax. I won't crash your date."

"It's not a date."

Jett raised an eyebrow. "Yeah but you want it to be right?"

Vj didn't say anything. Jett looked at his watch. "Dude, you better start getting ready. I know how long it takes you to do your hair. And your outfit! What are you going to wear?"

"Shut up!" VJ threw a pillow at Jett, who caught it and tossed it straight back.

"So Kyle and Ricky are in the city but Leah said I just need to get them to sign off on the course. As long as you're okay with it." Cece held the paperwork for the traineeship at the gym she wanted to do.

Irene nodded. "I think it's a great idea as long as the rest of your schoolwork is still getting done."

"I'm trying really hard. Mr MacGuire's been super helpful in the tutoring and Leah was saying that she thinks it's a good idea to pursue other pathways that I might be better at instead of just not being great at the academic-stuff."

"And Jett and Vj have been helping you as well? Not distracting you?" Irene really just wanted to make sure that the girl in her care was getting a good education.

Cece nodded. "They've been great."

"Alright love. Hand over the papers." Cece grinned as she pointed to where Irene's signature was required.

"Thankyou so much Irene!" She squealed as Irene handed back the signed papers. "Okay. I better go get ready. VJ will be here soon I think."

"Alright girly. I've got a shift at the diner now so I'll love you and leave you but I should be home by the time you get back." Irene lifted her handbag onto her shoulder.

"See you later then?" Cece waved her out the door before glancing at the clock, she only had about half an hour to shower and get dressed.

"What's going on with Heath and Kyle?" Ricky asked Bianca. Heath and Kyle were sitting on opposite sides of the living room, Heath with Casey on his lap. They'd been awkward around each other all day, something not lost on either of the women.

Bianca was silent for a moment unsure of how to answer, as she herself was also angry at Kyle. "You know men, probably had a fight about who was better at surfing."

"I've never seen Kyle even pick up a surfboard." Bianca shrugged. "Have you got everything?"

Ricky grabbed her bag. "Yep. Just waiting on Phoebs."

Bianca nodded. "Well I'm sorry Dare's not here to say goodbye." The teenager had eaten breakfast with her family before rushing off to meet her friends.

It was almost dinner and she was still out. 'Don't worry about it. Worry about how fast she's growing up."

Bianca shook her head as she exhaled. "You don't have to remind me."

Ricky grinned. "She'll be moving out and married by the time we see you guys next."

Once all their bags were packed into the car Bianca hugged Ricky tightly. "It was so lovely to see you guys."

"We need to come more often." Ricky gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Bianca moved onto Phoebe, "You look after yourself alright?"

Phoebe nodded. "I will. Thankyou for everything Bianca. Really."

"Anytime. Alright? Absolutely anytime, you need anything I'm always here." Bianca knew that Kyle, who was to the right of them could hear her.

Bianca turned to Kyle and waited until Phoebe and Ricky were out of ear-shot. "If you hurt her…."

Kyle nodded. "I won't."

Bianca nodded and widened her arms for a hug. "I am sorry though Kyle. About the miscarriage."

Kyle nodded as he pulled away from the hug.

Heath waited until Ricky and Phoebe were both in the car before calling out to his half-brother. Kyle glanced at the girls in the car before making his way over to Heath.

"We've got to go Heath."

"I know." Heath nodded, "I just want you to know that keeping this secret. It's going to end badly. Because Kyle? Secrets never stay a secret. Not in Summer Bay."
