4 weeks later

The days had been long since Kyle's funeral, Katie and left after a week saying that it was time for her to go home, but the boys and the girls were still grieving over Kyle's death.

Ricky, Bianca and Sasha were all eating breakfast at the Diner.

"I can't believe it's already been 4 weeks." Bianca sighs.

"I miss him." Ricky mumbles.

"Me too." Sasha sighs poking her pancakes.

"We all do." Bianca mumbles.

"Do you guys remember the time we tried to set him up." Sasha laughs.

"That poor boy was so nervous he could barely get a word out." Ricky laughs.

"We probably shouldn't have picked a bikini model to start with, it looked like his eyes were going to pop out of their sockets." Bianca grins.

"Did Brax ever do anything romantic for you?" Bianca asks.

"Yea the bed and breakfast," Ricky replies smiling Brax wasn't a big romantic.

"Yea, Kyle's idea." Bianca smiles.

"Really?" Sasha asks.

"Kyle was a softy, he just didn't want people to know." Bianca smiles.

"How do you know?" Sasha asks.

"He told me." Bianca grins

Flashback

Bianca woke up in the morning to hear Kyle on his guitar he was playing a beautiful song.

"Ky, What's that called?" Bianca asks sitting next to him.

"I don't know, I just wrote it." Kyle shrugs.

"You wrote that, you big romantic." Bianca grins.

"I'm not a romantic." Kyle blushes.

"Oh please, Kyle none of the boys are around." Bianca grins.

"Fine, I do write these types of songs occasionally. okay so I might be a bit of a softy" Kyle admits.

"There that wasn't so hard was it." Bianca grins getting up and walking to the kitchen

"Hey, Bianca, love of my life." Kyle smiles.

"Huh?" Bianca questions.

"That's the name of it's love of my life." Kyle blushes.

"Ky that's sweet, has that got anything to do with Queen?" Bianca asks.

"Who?" Kyle asks confused.

"It annoys me how young you are" Bianca laughs she thought her brother in law was awesome she was just wondering when another girl would figure it out.

End of Flashback

The girls all laughed.

"He didn't deserve any of this." Ricky sighs.

"Yea, did I tell you about the time that he and I went to the bar and I got so wasted that he helped me home." Sasha grins.

Flashback

Sasha and Kyle were at a bar in Yabbie Creek. Kyle was the sober driver but he came to give Sasha company.

"Kylie, come and dance." Sasha giggles she was wasted and Kyle knew that he would have to get her home soon.

"Sash, don't call me Kylie." Kyle laughs.

"But I always call you Kylie." Sasha giggles as she pulls Kyle close by his shirt.

"Let's go home so you can see Casey." Kyle laughs.

"I love Casey." Sasha giggles.

"I know, let's go." Kyle grins.

"Hey, princess wanna dance."A guy slurs.

"She's okay we're just leaving," Kyle replies.

" I wasn't talking to you teeny." The guy slurs.

"Come on Sash let's go." Kyle smiles pulling Sasha by the arm.

"You're not going anywhere, pretty lady." The guy slurs.

"How about you get your hands off her." Kyle hisses at the stronger man.

The guy shoves Kyle causing him to hit the floor, luckily Security butts in before any real damage is done.

Kyle softly takes Sasha's hand and leads her to the car.

End of Flashback

"He was amazing that night." Sasha grins.

"He was amazing in general, I can't believe he's gone." Ricky sighs.

"You two always got on really well didn't you?" Sasha grins.

"Kyle, he was honestly more of a little brother to me than anything else." Ricky grins.

"What about how when Brax was in prison and you were dating Nate how protective he was of you." Bianca laughs.

"Oh, he was such a brother then." Ricky smiles and shakes her head.

Flashback

Ricky and Nate walked hand in hand to the Braxton house, and opened the door.

"Late night." Kyle glares at Nate.

"Yea, Dinner went a bit longer than expected," Nate replies, yes Kyle was a whole 8 or so years younger than him but he still didn't like the death glare he was getting.

"Right well, you brought her home you can go now." Kyle huffs.

"Kyle!" Ricky hisses sometimes Kyle was too over the top and it annoyed her.

"I've got work early anyway." Nate kisses Ricky and walks out shutting the door behind him.

Ricky punched Kyle in the arm.

"Ow!" Kyle moans.

"Seriously Kyle, Nate and I are together, I know you think I should be with Brax but get over it." Ricky huffs.

"You think this is about Brax, it's not. It's about Nate he's never had the best run with women, they've always ended up hurt, I don't want that happening to you." Kyle sighs.

Ricky walks up to him and hugs him.

"Thanks for caring Kyle." Ricky grins.

"Anytime." Kyle shrugs giving her a dopey grin which causes he to slap his head and then go in for another hug.

End of Flashback

"He always looked out for all of us." Sasha grins.

The girls sat in silence for the rest of the meal they really did miss Kyle but knew that the memories would last forever.

Heath woke up that morning he didn't sleep well at all, the names kept him awake for hours "Kylie, goose, muppet, ya girl, emo, emo boy, twilight, knuckles, pretty boy, junior, loser Kylie, goose, muppet, ya girl, emo, emo boy, twilight, knuckles,
/pretty boy, junior, loser, Kylie, goose, muppet, ya girl, emo, emo boy, twilight, knuckles, pretty boy, junior, loser.". The way he treated his little brother was horrible, no wonder Kyle was quite standoffish with him most the time especially
/earlier on. What if he reminded Kyle of Duncan and his cousins. It wasn't just the names what if all the things he did to Kyle made the memories come back as well. Like the time that Kyle helped Dex scare him and when Kyle arrived home that night
/Heath sat on Kyle for an hour until Brax arrived home and made him get off

Flashback

Kyle arrived home from work one day and sat on the couch running his hands through his hair, it had been a long day, suddenly he was grabbed by the shoulder and shoved down, it was Heath.

"Right, Kylie." Heath smiles sitting on him.

"Heath!" Kyle grunts trying to shove his older brother off him.

"You have to pay Kylie, you helped Dex scare me, so you're going to pay." Heath smiles.

"I'm being serious Heath get off, you're heavy." Kyle pleads.

"You calling me fat, Pretty boy." Heath hisses, but then he grins.

"That's not what I meant." Kyle groans

"I was going to get off you but now, you'll have to deal with it, little bro." Heath laughs.

Kyle tries to shove him off again but Heath wouldn't budge.

"Keep trying Kylie but I won't budge." Heath laughs

Kyle gave up there was no point.

He just lay there hoping Brax would come home soon.

End of Flashback

Heath imagines how he made Kyle feel, he must have made Kyle feel so small and hopeless.

He pushed himself out of bed and started walking towards the living room but he stopped when he passed Kyle's door. It was shut like it was cut off from the world like the door was closed, gone just like Kyle, Kyle didn't have privacy issues so unless
/he was in bed his door was usually open Heath slowly opened it, Ricky and Bianca had cleaned up a bit so it was tidier than usual. Heath walked over to Kyle's desk and picked up paperwork from the restaurant. Kyle was so smart he could have

done so much with his life If he had, had the chance. He was the smartest Braxton by far even smarter than Bianca and that was hard because Bianca was very smart. Heath had always given him grief for it. he forgot about that name, he did call Kyle
/it quite a bit which never made Kyle feel happy, to be honest Kyle was so embarrassed whenever he called him it.

Flashback

"Oi Kylie help me with the accounts," Heath yells through the restaurant.

"Heath I'm busy and it's your job." Kyle huffs, he had been working since opening and was in the middle of the lunch rush.

"Well, I'm not a nerd like you am i." Heath laughs.

A couple of guys about Kyle's age sniggered at their table.

"Do it yourself." Kyle huffs

"Like I said bro you're the nerd." Heath laughs

"Stop it okay."Kyle huffs going red.

"What stop calling you a nerd Kylie." Heath smiles.

"Yes." Kyle hisses as the guys continue to laugh.

"Fine, fine I'll see you at home... geek." Heath grins picking a word that Kyle still hated, he left the restaurant leaving Kyle embarrassed.

End of Flashback

Heath hated himself for treating Kyle this way but now there was nothing he could do his little brother was gone, dead, murdered. He never made him feel good about himself he always made him feel small and worthless just like is uncle and cousins, what
/sort of brother was he.

Brax walked to his brother grave and sat down next to it, looking at the pile of dirt.

"Hey mate, your Uncle and cousins are going away for a long time, they confessed, they confessed to all those horrible things they did to you." Brax sighs running a hand through his hair.

"Kyle, you have no idea how much you are loved, the boys and I love you so much especially hearing all that you went through, you had a horrible childhood mate and I can't believe that you made it out alive,... I mean ... I'm not calling you weak or anything
/because you're not Kyle, you're not weak and I'm sorry that anyone even us made you feel like that cause you didn't deserve it." Brax sighs

Brax missed his brother Kyle was the only brother that spent ages in the bathroom and Brax missed seeing him after he had finished everything, he was the extremely good looking, at least that is what Brax and the boys were told by everyone, he was the
/pretty boy. Brax had always teased him for being a pretty boy but after hearing how he grew up he wished that he hadn't Kyle had, had enough grief his whole childhood without him adding more to it.

Flashback

"Kylie, hurry up and finish putting your makeup on we've got to open up the restaurant." Brax laughs.

Kyle walked out.

"Took your time Kylie." Brax grins.

"Brax for the last time, I don't wear makeup will you stop always teasing me, it's so annoying." Kyle grunts.

"Sorry, Bro just hard to believe that a Braxton can have a face that pretty." Brax laughs and walks out the door as Kyle slowly follows.

End of Flashback

Brax doesn't think that Kyle took any offence to it or at least he hopes. Kyle always looked up to him, not as an older brother but as a dad despite the fact that he was too young to be Kyle's dad, Brax understood it completely Kyle had never really had
/a dad he had, had Danny who never treated him the same as him and the other boy, Danny treated him even worse than he treated Heath and Danny was horrible to Heath. Then Duncan who was the worst role model Brax could think of, What sort of person
/treats a little kid like that, lie their person punching dummy, Brax couldn't even bare to think what happened to Kyle when he did something that was actually naughty or troublesome the punishment would have been horrible. He was the first older male
/to actually care for Kyle and make sure that he makes the right decisions in life, he was the first older male that actually gave a stuff about him. He continued to sit with his brother till his phone buzzed and he saw that Ricky was wondering where
/he was he stood up and looked down at the grave.

"See ya soon mate." Brax smiles lightly.

Casey was sitting on the beach he ran sand through his hands, he missed his immediate older brother so much sure they fought a lot and had not got along for so long but Casey loved Kyle and thought that through it all Kyle truly cared for all three boys
/and all of their partners, he was such a family man and he was so unlucky not to have a family of his own like he always wanted. Casey remembered the time he was looking after Harley and he was crying the house down, it was about 3 am in the morning,
/Heath and Brax had both taken the girls away for the night to a bed and breakfast and it was just him and Kyle in the house.

Flashback

Harleys cries erupted throughout the house.

"Come on mate." Casey pleads the baby wouldn't stop crying as hard as Casey tried he took a look at the clock 3:00 am.

He had been woken up by Harley about 10 Minutes ago.

Harleys cries erupted even louder.

Casey didn't want to wake Kyle up, with Brax being away with Ricky he had to run the restaurant all on his own which was from opening to close and then he had to do the books he had only just got in at 12:00 am.

But it was too late Kyle walked in his hair sticking up and sleepy eyes.

"Here give him here Case." Kyle yawns.

"Yea right Kyle, you're exhausted." Casey laughs.

Harley was screaming by this point.

"Have you feed him?' Kyle asks erupting in a loud yawn.

"No," Casey mumbles embarrassed.

"Here give him here while you make him a bottle," Kyle mumbles rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

Casey passes a crying Harley to Kyle and walks out and gets his bottle and then he heats it up but suddenly everything stops, there's no more screaming all Casey can hear is Kyle softly shushing the baby.

"Kyle did you really just do that?" Casey asks as he as he hands him the bottle.

"Yea." Kyle grins.

"You're going to make a great dad one day." Casey grins at his brother

End of Flashback.

Casey sat up it was going to take a while to get used to the fact that his brother was gone, He walked back to the house, on his way he saw Brax.

"BRAX!" Casey yells.

Brax waits for Casey to catch up.

"Did you go to Kyle's grave?" Casey asks.

"Yea." Brax sighs.

"He'll never be forgotten." Casey smiles.

"You are right there Case." Brax grins throwing an arm around his brother.

Heath was still in his brother room. Holding Kyle's pillow to his chest he had come to a conclusion he could never forgive himself for what he did to his brother and he knew deep down that Kyle never did either.

The end!
