Chapter 28
I'm BACK…AGAIN! I know it's been a while, but FTGU is back with a new (and extra long to show how sorry I am) chapter. I thought I would get at least one chapter out during the holidays, but they proved to be extra busy…and getting REsick doesn't help any either. Also, this chapter would have been done MUCH sooner if I didn't break my flash drive and lose 80% of my story. Enough of me talking…here's the chapter!
"So you haven't made any progress in the last three weeks?" asked a voice over the phone.
"It's been nineteen days to be exact and I've accomplished nothing, AJ." BB replied. "I knew Seth and her were really close, but I didn't think breaking up with Seth would devastate Kaitlyn this bad."
"But it has and I don't like it. I'm worried, Dolph's worried, and hell everybody is worried. We need to Kaitlyn to talk to us and get her back to her old self as soon as possible. Who knows what will happen if she stays like this?" AJ says with panic in her voice.
"It won't reach any extremes. I can guarantee that to everybody. Now I'm going to be working with Roman today on our history project, so hopefully I can find out how Seth's feeling when I pick him up later...which will be a challenge because we have said a total of two words to each other and they were from me." BB said rolling his eyes and putting books in his backpack.
"Good luck with that. I've gotta get going, but hopefully Katie will be better sooner than later. I personally think that we should lock the two dipshits in a room until they have to talk to each other." AJ remarks with BB laughing in response.
"That will be interesting since Kaitlyn won't talk to anybody unless she has to and Seth has completely shut off communication with us. I'll talk to you later." BB says hanging up the phone. After putting the last book in his backpack, he hears the doorbell. Wondering who the hell it could be, BB looks through the peephole. On the other side is a red-haired girl. "It couldn't be...could it?" BB thought as he opened the door.
"Aye, Thing two, I was wondering when you were going to open the damn door." Said the girl with a slight Irish accent. The sound of her voice gave BB all the confirmation he needed on who she is.
"BECKY!" BB yelled running over and giving Becky a hug. "Becky Lynch, I haven't seen you in what five or six years?"
"Seems like it, huh?" Becky says returning the hug. After letting go of the hug, Becky gives BB the once over.
"Wow Thing Two, you are certainly not the chubby nerd from when I last saw you. You probably have eight or nine girls waiting in line for you." Becky says tugging on BB's ponytail.
"Nope...I just have my one girlfriend. Her name is Madison." BB replies pulling out his phone and showing Becky a picture of Madison. Becky gives the picture a once over.
"She's nice, but I always pictured you with a blonde. Speaking of nice girls, where's your cousin?" Becky asks.
"She's actually my sister now. I was a..." BB stops after Becky gives him a confused look. "It's a long story, but me and Kaitlyn will have to tell you sometime. She's upstairs, but Katie's been depressed for a while."
"What is she down in the dumps for?" Becky asks. "She's always been one of the happier people I've met."
"Well...she's been having a little relationship problems lately and it hit her pretty hard." BB replies then thinks of something. "Hey! I have to go work on a project for school, but maybe you will have better luck getting Kaitlyn out of her funk. I mean seeing you will definitely make her day. I'll see ya later, Becky." BB says hugging Becky and walking out the door.
Twenty minutes later, BB reaches Roman's house. BB walks up to the door and knocks, but before he could knock on the door a second time, a big man answers the door and looks at BB. BB looks up at the guy and it takes all he had to not jump back and take a tumble down the porch.
"Can I help you?" The big man asks. BB gulps before finding his voice.
"I'm here to pick up Roman." BB says completely satisfied that he managed to say something to the big guy without stuttering. The guy raises an eyebrow before smiling.
"You must be Blaine. Roman said that he was working on a project with you today. He said to watch out for a little guy who looks awkward and might faint at any time." The big guy says laughing while BB makes a face of annoyance. "I'm Roman's brother. They call me Rosey. Come on in." Rosey says slapping BB on the back. "Holy shit! Roman's brother is a big boy and that slap HURT! That's gonna leave a bruise." BB thought following Rosey. As they walked into the house, BB wondered that if Rosey and Roman's dad was even bigger than Rosey. BB couldn't finish the thought when Roman walks downstairs and grabs BB by the wrist pulling him towards the door.
"Why are going off so quickly? Will you be home for dinner, Joe?" Rosey asks. BB turns to Roman and when he does, BB wishes he had a chance to pull out his phone so he could take a picture of the blush completely covering the face of Roman.
"I don't know, I'll call dad later and let him know. Now we've gotta project due soon and might be working pretty late. See you later." Roman says in a rush dragging BB along with him outside. When they get outside, BB grabs his wrist and glares at Roman.
"What the hell, Roman? Why are you in such a hurry...and Joe?" BB asks smirking. Roman rolls his eyes and starts walking to BB's car.
"Middle name...and older siblings. Let's go." Roman replies not looking back. BB shakes his head following Roman thinking that this is going to be a long day, but maybe him and Roman will make some progress in their friendship because Roman has finally said more than one word to him.
Back at the house, Kaitlyn has been trying to ignore the knocking at her door thinking that it was Blaine not getting the hint that she wanted to be left alone. After another five minutes, Kaitlyn gets annoyed and walks to her bedroom door.
"God damn it, Blaine, haven't you got the fucking hint that I want to be left alone? Get the fu..." Kaitlyn says before stopping and realizing who was at the door was not her brother, but a long lost friend.
"About time you answered the door, Honey, because my damn hand was hurting." Becky says walking into Kaitlyn's room. Seeing Becky for the first time in years was just enough for Kaitlyn to forget about her depression and make her smile for the first time since her breakup.
"Oh my god, Becky, I am so sorry! I didn't know it was you. How long are you in Houston?" Kaitlyn asks apologizing and hugging Becky. Becky smiles and quickly hugs her back.
"I'm back for good. So how have you been, Thing One?" Becky asks in reply. Kaitlyn quickly remembers the breakup and goes back to sitting on her bed.
"Not so good. You see me and my boyfriend Seth who I have been dating for like two years broke up at a party a few weeks ago." Kaitlyn says starting to tear up again. Becky notices and sits next to Kaitlyn.
"I'm sorry to hear that, but what was so bad about the breakup that made you lock yourself up for two weeks?" Becky asks.
"One, I was...and still am in love with Seth. Two, he cheated on me with the one girl I despise." Kaitlyn says losing her composure.
"Are you sure it was a big misunderstanding? What makes you think he was cheating?" Becky asks still not understanding.
"At the party, Seth was on his knee and showing her a ring. A RING, Becky! He was dating me and proposing to his whore on the side. Two years of my life wasted on that bastard!" Kaitlyn finishes before completely bawling. Becky immediately grabs her friend and hugs her in consolation.
"Lass, it'll be okay. Remember the saying that if you love someone you let them free and if they come back it was meant to be. Come on and stop crying, hon. We should go have some fun just you and me. I've missed one of me best friends for a long time." Becky says. Kaitlyn looks up to Becky and starts to wipe her tears away and start changing.
Two hours later, BB and Roman are in full force mode for their project at the library. On the drive to the library, BB was still holding hope that they would make some headway in their friendship. Boy was BB wrong. They have spent the last two hours at the library researching and he and Roman haven't said two words to each other...no matter how hard BB tried.
"Having any problems with your research?" BB asks Roman once again hoping he would say something, but all Roman did was shake his head not looking up from his writing. BB rolls his eyes and tries again.
"Need any more sources for the paper? I have a few books that you could use if you need them." BB suggests. Once again, Roman shakes his head and doesn't look at BB. BB had reached his breaking point and slammed closed his book—finally getting the attention of Roman and a few nearby tables. BB looks around at the unintended attention and mouths out an apology and thanking God that this is one of the area of the library where groups can discuss and not have to be totally quiet.
"Can I talk to you for one quick second...in private?" BB asks Roman. Roman shrugs and follows BB to one of the private study group rooms. Roman is completely confused to why BB is pissed. After BB closes the door, Roman corners BB to one of the walls.
"Alright, what the fuck is your problem? You have been Mr. Talkative all day and now you are pissy because I don't wanna borrow your book. What's the real reason?" Roman asks annoyed. BB is a little nervous to be face to face with Roman because BB knows that Roman could easily beat the shit out of him, but he wasn't going to let Roman know that.
"What's wrong with me? I could easily ask the same thing about you, bud! Ever since we have been picked as partners for this project, I have been trying to get to know you so we could work better has a team. But it's kinda hard when your partner won't say two fucking words to you." BB replies which causes Roman to smirk
"I don't know what I did to you that makes you become a mute towards me, but feel free to tell me. Is it because you don't like me. Did I piss you off at school and not figure it out? Or is it because I'm Kaitlyn's brother and you're friends with Seth and they broke up? Tell me before you punch me in the face!" BB says getting in Roman's face. BB was expecting for Roman to get really mad and give him a black eye, but the real reaction was quite opposite.
"That was why you have been acting like that? You tried to get me to like you?" Roman asks and BB nods the affirmative. Roman then starts to smirk again before smiling before he finally started laughing. BB was confused and a little nervous so he started to walk towards the door, but Roman grabs him back.
"You are just like your sister because you both have a WAY out there sense of thinking. I'm not sure if you have noticed, but I hardly talk to ANYBODY at school except for a few close people...Kaitlyn included. I'm more of an actions speak louder than words type of guy. Also, I just never have anything to say. It's nothing personal. Honestly dude, you are alright. You're a little stubborn and overly happy, but you're cool." Roman admitted. BB just stared at Roman in amazement. Roman rolls his eyes and walks to the door.
"I believe that this is the part where you say something like 'Thanks, Roman.'" Roman says making fun of BB. BB turns to Roman and just nods.
"At least this project will be a little easier now that we can communicate." BB says finding his voice getting Roman to chuckle a little, but before Roman opens the door to leave, BB stops him.
"One more thing, Roman. How has Seth been since the breakup with Kaitlyn since you are one of Seth's best friends?" BB asks. Roman turns to BB and shrugs.
"If you really want to know, we can stop by Seth's house after finishing up here." Roman says opening the door and walking back to their table. BB follows behind wondering if Seth could possibly be taking the split worse than Kaitlyn. "I guess I'll find out later today." BB thought.
After they finished working on their history project, Roman and BB drive to Seth's house. During the drive, all BB could think about what Seth's state of mind would be. BB's thoughts ranged from Seth killing himself to him walking into Seth and another girl having sex and every scenario in between. Before he could think any more about it, Roman snapped BB out of his thoughts when they are parked in front of Seth's house.
"What's going through your mind? I know you were thinking about something because you had this look on your face that you were either thinking or hypnotized." Roman says with a smirk.
"Anything and everything. Part of me wants him to be sad but the other part wants him to be happy. I guess I'll get my answer won't I?" BB asks. Roman nods and they get out of the car. BB walks up the porch, but Roman stays at the base. BB looks at Roman confused.
"I already know how Seth is, so as Seth's friend, you need to do this on your own. Now I have a few friends a few houses down that I'll hang with. Text when you're ready to take me back to my casa." Roman remarks walking down the street. BB looks at Roman walking away. Part of BB wanted to pick up the lawn gnome in the yard and hurl it at Roman's head for leaving him alone to do this. For all he knew, Seth would drag him into the house and beat the aggression he had towards Kaitlyn out of him. BB took a breath and knocked on the door. After a moment, BB about turned around and hauled ass away, but the door was opened by Seth—who wasn't wearing much more than boxer shorts and a tank top and looked like he had been sleeping all day.
"Blaine!? What are you doing here?" Seth asks surprised that his ex's brother was standing on his porch.
"I wanted to see how you are doing. You haven't responded to anybody's calls or texts and we were worried." BB replies. Seth nods and ushers him into the house. When BB walked in, he was hit with a smell that he could almost recognize, but it was mixed with stuff like fried chicken and Lysol. BB followed Seth to his room and when he walked into the room, the smell was stronger and BB could almost figure out the smell.
"Sorry I look like this. I just woke up from a nap and wasn't expecting anybody to come over and my mom is away for the week, so I was like I don't give a shit." Seth said pulling on a pair of sweats. Seth walked to a cooler sitting near his closet and pulled out a glass bottle. BB didn't think much of it and thought it was Sprite because Seth liked to keep a cooler of Sprite in his room for some weird reason, but when he got a closer look, it wasn't Sprite...it was Vodka. BB couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Seth. Why are you drinking Vodka? I thought you said you hated alcohol." BB asks to which Seth simply shrugs him off.
"You only live once, Blaine. You gotta live while you're young." Seth says taking another swig. Whatever possessed BB to do what he did next, BB still has yet to figure out. BB walks over to Seth and tries to take the bottle away.
"Seth, you said you would never drink because your dad was an alcoholic and that led to years of physical abuse for you and your mother. Your house smells like a vodka warehouse so how long have you been drinking?" BB asks grabbing a hold of the bottle leading to Seth and BB having a tug of war for the bottle.
"It's none of your fucking business, but if you must know I've drinking since my mom left yesterday." Seth replies still fighting for the bottle.
"Dude, you have been drinking for two days straight! You're gonna get alcohol poisoning or something if you don't be careful. What's your problem and give the damn bottle!" BB says struggling to keep his grip on the bottle, knowing that Seth wouldn't be tiring out anytime soon. All Seth was doing was getting angrier by the second.
"Let go of the fucking bottle. It's not your concern." Seth threatens, but BB doesn't back down. Realizing that, Seth had all he could stand. Not really thinking, Seth rears back and punches BB right in the face. BB stumbles back and as he starts falling back, both teens lose grip of the bottle. BB hits the floor and Seth makes an attempt for the bottle and catches the bottle...open end down and drenching BB. Fully seeing what happened, Seth's attitude pulls a 180 as he throws the bottle on the floor…which breaks after hitting the floor…and checks on his friend.
"Shit. Dude, I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me." Seth says feeling extremely guilty over what happened. BB looks up to Seth confused as he holds his cheek. He doesn't need a mirror to know that there will be a bruise or a black eye in his future. Seth grabs BB's arm and helps him to the bed.
"Seth, what is your problem? I don't know what happened, but I don't like it." BB asks. Seth shakes his head and motions towards the bathroom.
"Look, I'll explain everything. Maybe you should go across the hall and shower off while I clean up in here. You don't want to go home smelling like booze or anything." Seth says getting clothes from his dresser and throws them to BB. BB walks to the bathroom as Seth begins to clean up the mess in his bedroom.
Twenty minutes later, BB comes out of the bathroom wearing the shirt and shorts Seth gave to him. BB didn't bother tying his hair back because the tie he had smelled too strong of Vodka and he really didn't feel like asking Seth for one. BB looked around for a second to find Seth and eventually found him in his living room on the couch staring off into space. Seth didn't move a muscle until BB sat down next to him.
"Blaine, I am so sorry. I shouldn't have done that to you. You didn't deserve it." Seth apologized turning to BB. BB waved him off.
"It's alright. You've said sorry enough. It's partly my fault. I shouldn't have fought you." BB replied to Seth—who was shaking his head.
"None of this was your fault. You were just trying to help. I guess when I was fighting with you I was thinking I was fighting with…." Seth started to say before stopping himself and looking down at the floor. Even though Seth didn't finish, BB had a feeling what was going on.
"That you were fighting with Kaitlyn?" BB asks. Seth, still feeling ashamed for his outburst, shook his head slowly. "What is the deal with you two anyway? What happened that night?" BB asks. Seth shakes his head once more and starts to explain.
"It's nothing dramatic, more like a HUGE misunderstanding. Kaitlyn went to get drinks for the both of us when Angelina sat down next to me. She kept trying to hit on me and I was just trying to get away or get her to go away. Then I went to pick up something that fell out of my pocket. Next thing I knew Angelina is screaming yes and she kissed me. That's when Kaitlyn walked in and went ballistic. I tried to talk to her, but she wouldn't listen and still won't listen." Seth says starting to get emotion in his voice.
"Seth…" BB tried to say something, but he really couldn't think of anything. Without a doubt, Seth was hurting about the breakup just as much as Kaitlyn was. It didn't help that two-toned couple were two of the most stubborn people he knew.
"Let me finish. Do you know how it feels to be missing a piece of yourself?" Seth asks and BB shakes his head no. "If I had done something stupid, I would completely understand her anger towards me; she won't even give a chance to explain. Blaine, after she wouldn't talk to me, I thought I would get over her. But I am truly in love with her and I would never do anything to intentionally hurt her." Seth said with tears in his eyes and he put his face into his hand and started to sniffle. BB didn't know what to say next, but all he could think to do was to give Seth pat on the back. BB was expecting Seth to slap his hand away, but he didn't. All he did was be as supportive as possible while his friend lets his emotions out.
"It's better that Seth get all this done now and not in front of the kids at school. I've learned from experience that bottling up emotions is never a good thing. I think he needs to get out and forget about all this shit, and maybe he needs to get over the barrier of his fear and just confront Kaitlyn head on…WAIT! That's it!" BB thought as Seth turned his head away to wipe his face.
"Feeling better?" BB asks when Seth turns back to BB.
"Actually I do feel a little better. Thanks." Seth said smiling for the first time since BB came over.
"I have an idea. How about you come to my house and have dinner. It beats being home alone and wallowing in misery." BB suggests. Seth shakes his head.
"I couldn't. What if Kaitlyn is there?" Seth asks.
"Who gives a shit? You're friends with me and I am having MY FRIEND over to hang out and eat, so it shouldn't matter what Kaitlyn thinks or not. If you talk, you talk. If you don't, who cares?" BB says trying his best to convince Seth. After a bit of thinking, Seth nods and smiles.
"You know what? You're right. Let's hang out at your place for a bit. I haven't left the house in three days. Let me take a quick shower and we can head out." Seth says slapping the shoulder of BB. BB smiles as he is proud of himself for what he is doing. While BB is in thought, his phone starts to ring.
"Hello?" BB says.
"How's it going?" The voice asks. It takes BB a second to figure out who it is, but he quickly remembers Roman coming along with him after their project this afternoon.
"It actually went pretty good. Seth's gonna ride with us to my place." BB says to which Roman groans.
"That's what I was calling to tell you. I was hanging with my cousins, Jimmy and Jey, when Rosey showed up. Turns out it's a big family party at my place, so I won't need a ride home, dude." Roman replies. BB let out a sigh of relief. Nothing against Roman, but BB didn't want to make things awkward for Seth; it being just the two of them will make things easier. Especially if Kaitlyn's home right now because the shit will hit the fan.
"It's all good. Thanks for coming along with me today. I appreciate it." BB says
"Don't worry about it. See you at school and good luck." Roman says hanging up the phone. BB puts his phone back in his pocket and rolls his eyes. "I'm gonna need the luck." BB thought as he leans his head back on the couch, waiting for Seth to finish up.
Thirty minutes later, BB pulls into his driveway and sees Kaitlyn's car next to his. BB wanted to say a few choice words, but he stopped himself. "Let us get through tonight. If this goes bad, I'm going to pay for it. Punch in the nose, slaps across the face, screaming like no other…and that's just from Kaitlyn. Maybe I should have kept my own business." BB thought before being tapped by Seth.
"Dude, Katie's here. What the fuck. This is gonna suck." Seth says getting a little worried. BB pushes his anxiety aside for the sake of his sister's love and his good friend's sake. BB puts the car in park and gets out of the car.
"Seth, we already talked about this. You are here tonight with ME. Anything Kaitlyn does should have no effect on you at all." BB says reassuring Seth. Seth looks to BB and gets out of the car as they walk inside the house. "Honestly, I'm NEVER the voice of reassurance and confidence. It feels GREAT! Moving to Houston? Best! Decision! Ever!" BB thought opening the front door. BB and Seth walk into the kitchen and see that Kaitlyn and Becky are talking and laughing. As soon as Kaitlyn saw BB, she was about to say something; when she locked eyes with Seth, both teens faces had turned to glares.
"Blaine, what the fuck is he doing here?" Kaitlyn asks with complete hatred in her voice and not taking her eyes off of Seth. Even though Seth was hurting and devastated earlier, nobody could tell now because has an equal looking glare in his eyes.
"I have a name, Kaitlyn." Seth remarks back.
"Yeah you do. Mr. Angelina Love. You know you have some fucking nerve walking into MY house with MY brother planning to eat MY food. What's your next plan? Steal Blaine away too?" Kaitlyn asks pretty much screaming in Seth's face. You didn't have to be a rocket scientist to see that both two-toned teens reached their breaking point and it's all anger from here.
"If you would SHUT UP and stop being a damn BITCH for five seconds. I can explain that it was BLAINE who invited ME over as HIS friend. So fuck off!" Seth screams back at Kaitlyn. As soon as she hears that BB was the reason for this, she quickly turns her head to BB. When she does, BB gulps and takes a step back. He was in trouble.
"Aww shit. The moments of peace didn't last but forty-five seconds. Maybe I should have thought this plan through a LITTLE more." BB thought as Kaitlyn got in his face.
"Little brother, you have five seconds to start explaining before YOUR face is the one flying through the back window." Kaitlyn remarks grabbing the collar of his…Seth's shirt. BB laughs nervously before starting.
"Look, it's a simple explanation." BB starts off. Kaitlyn raises an eyebrow, but doesn't let go of the shirt. "OK, I went over to Seth's house because I haven't seen him in a while and him being my friend too, I had a right to go. I saw that Seth was home alone and decided to invite him over for dinner and to hang out…among other reasons." BB admitted. He didn't want to tell them the main reason, but it was either throw himself under the bus or eat the window.
"What do you mean 'among other reasons'?" Seth asks when the last three words BB said catches his attention.
"Don't be mad, but after hearing both sides of what happened. I won't discuss that for the sake of my health, but what it sounds like is that you both really need to talk to each other. This whole breakup sounds like a giant misunderstanding. I brought Seth here to have some fun with a friend along with the hope that you two would be adults and actually talk to each other about this. I'm sorry for not telling you the whole truth, Seth." BB explained hoping that it would lighten either Kaitlyn or Seth's temper…it didn't. Kaitlyn and Seth kept going from glaring at BB to glaring at each other. They were about to start screaming when Becky stood up and stood next to BB.
"He's right. I've only heard what you told me, Katie, but it sounds like Seth needs to explain his side of the situation before you kick him to the curb permanently." Becky says before turning to Seth. "Sucks we had to meet this way, but I'm Becky Lynch." Becky says shaking Seth's hand.
"Seth Rollins." Seth says awkwardly shaking Becky's hand. "See, Kaitlyn, let me explain. Your brother and your friend are both agreeing. So please let me explain, and if you still don't want to see me after that, I will leave for good. Sound like a plan?" Seth asks holding his hand out for a deal. Kaitlyn was not in the mood to deal with her ex right now. She and Becky hung out the whole day and she was starting to feel much better, but it was destroyed in a matter of seconds. She supposed that if her brother went to this much trouble to attempt this, Seth must have a reasonable explanation. After thinking it over, she shook Seth's hand.
"Alright it's a deal." Kaitlyn says before looking to BB and Becky. "You two…OUT!" Kaitlyn says pointing to the living room.
"Why can't I stay? I was the reason this is all going down. I should get to be the mediator." BB complains. Kaitlyn glares at her brother.
"Because I'm still thinking about throwing you through the damn window for being nosy, so as the nice big sister I am…Get Out NOW!" Kaitlyn says pointing again to the living room. BB rolls his eyes, but decides to not fight his sister anymore about this; so walks into the living room with Becky following behind. As BB left, Kaitlyn swore she heard the word bitch being mumbled, but she decided to ignore that for now.
"Let's go outside. You can explain out here." Kaitlyn says walking and opening the sliding glass door leading to the backyard. Seth nods and follows Kaitlyn outside. Kaitlyn closes the door as quietly as possible, knowing that BB would try to eavesdrop.
Twenty minutes later, BB and Becky are still in the living room waiting for Seth and Kaitlyn to come back. About ten minutes ago, BB got impatient and put his ear to the kitchen door hoping to hear something because he doesn't know they went outside.
"Hear anything yet?" Becky asks from the couch as she watches TV. BB shakes his head.
"Not yet. I wonder what in the hell they are doing anyway. I don't think they killed each other. I think they…." BB said before hit in the side of the head by the kitchen door. BB holds his temple and sees that Kaitlyn and Seth are back.
"That's why we went outside. Blaine, sometimes you are too nosy for your own good." Kaitlyn says smirking. BB rolls his eyes and sticks his tongue out at Kaitlyn.
"OK. Point taken. So what's the verdict on you two?" BB asks walking to the couch and sitting next to Becky.
"Well, Seth did explain himself and after thinking about what he said…I forgave him and he forgave me for being a bitch." Kaitlyn smiled and kisses Seth on the cheek. BB and Becky bump knuckles, figuring that the two would get back together.
"So…what exactly was the big misunderstanding?" Becky asked.
"Well after we yelled at each other for a few minutes outside, we decided to actually put our stories together and see what we were missing." Seth explained. "I told her about Angelina walking up to me and trying her hardest to try to hit on me. I told her about trying to get away from her. I told her about dropping something out of my pocket and going to pick it up. She came back when Angelina was screaming and kissed me."
"What was the missing part?" BB asked because he already knew about all this info.
"The ring, Blaine. I was too stupid and angry to realize what the ring was for. It wasn't an engagement ring for her. It was…." Kaitlyn said before Seth finished the sentence.
"It was a promise ring for Kaitlyn. I was going to give it to her after we left the party. It was going to be my promise to Kaitlyn that I will love her forever." Seth finished as Kaitlyn smiled. Becky awed at the sweetness and BB simply smiled that his sister and his eventual brother are back together.
"I don't know about you, but I am starving. Let's eat." Kaitlyn says as the four teens walk back into the kitchen.
Later that night, after everybody went to sleep and Seth deciding to stay over (and sleep in BB's room), BB was coming downstairs to get a drink when he finds Kaitlyn sitting at the kitchen table eating ice cream.
"What are you doing up?" Kaitlyn asks when she spots her brother in the kitchen.
"Needed a drink. What are you doing up?" BB asks walking to the fridge.
"Couldn't sleep. That and I wanted some ice cream." Kaitlyn replies pointing to the carton of ice cream.
"Hmm…what flavor?" BB asks. Kaitlyn smiles and turns the carton to BB.
"Cookie Dough. Would it be anything else?" Kaitlyn says smiling.
"Mind if I grab a spoon and join you?" BB asks. Kaitlyn nods and BB grabs a spoon from the silverware drawer and sits next to Kaitlyn. The siblings eat in silence for a bit before Kaitlyn breaks the quiet.
"Blaine, I'm sorry for screaming at you for butting in." Kaitlyn remarks. BB shakes his head looks at Kaitlyn.
"No. I kinda deserved it. I shouldn't have butted into your personal life." BB says.
"I'm kind glad you did. If you wouldn't have, Seth and I wouldn't have talked things out and we wouldn't have got back together and we still would be affected by the misunderstanding. Thank you Blaine, I love you." Kaitlyn says putting her spoon down and hugging her brother. BB puts his spoon down and hugs Kaitlyn. After Kaitlyn kisses him on the cheek, they break the hug and go back to eating ice cream.
"I love you too, Katie, and it was no problem for me to try to help you. You and Seth have been there for me so many times and I felt like I should repay the favor at least once." BB remarked.
"You know, this has been a weird year for us hasn't it?" Kaitlyn remarks as BB looks at her confused. "It's a good kind of weird. Would you have thought that in nine months I would get a little brother and you would get a sister…and parents?" Kaitlyn asked. BB thought for a second and shook his head no.
"Probably not. I'm glad it did, though." BB said looking around the kitchen in amazement of how well his life has become in less than a year. Kaitlyn tries to guess what BB is looking at, but figures it out pretty quickly. Kaitlyn closes the ice cream and puts it back in the freezer. BB is still looking around when Kaitlyn puts her hands on his shoulders. BB jumps a bit and looks up at his sister.
"Come on. Let's go back to bed." Kaitlyn suggests. BB gets up from the table and follows Kaitlyn back upstairs.
Yay! It looks like Seth and Kaitlyn couldn't stay apart too long and our favorite two-toned couple is back. I apologize ahead of time if I made a character too OOC, but sometimes true love can make a person act differently. Overall, this chapter was to show BB in a different light as the helper instead of the helped. Also, this chapter introduced the Irish Diva Becky Lynch into the story and she will be thrown into mix along with the rest of the group.
Next chapter, Madison comes back into the story and some surprises (At least one good surprise will be in the chapter). Any guesses?
As always…read and review and tell me what ya think. Once again…SORRY about ANOTHER delay and my goal for the next chapter will be less than one month.
