These next couple of chapters are going to be flashbacks from each of the seven characters of moments in their lives that involved Kyle. So I hope you enjoy these flashbacks into some of the other character's lives.


2 hours later…

The Waiting Room

The waiting room was completely silent and had been since Nate had left. No one wanted to break the silence because that meant they would have to think about the fact that there is a chance that Kyle isn't going to make it. Each person was sat lost in their in own thoughts all thinking about different things about Kyle.

If a nurse entered the room they would find that hardly anyone had moved except for when they had gotten coffees from down the hall and then returned to the same seats they were sat in before they had left.

Brax was sat closest to the door as that way he could be the first person to jump on Nate as soon as he walked in the room. Brax's mind was thinking back to Kyle's first day at Summer Bay High and how they went shopping for his bedroom afterwards.

Flashback 1 – two years ago…

"Kyle, hurry up!" Brax shouted from the living room.

Casey walked into the room and over to the table where his school bag was currently sat.

"Hey Case, do me a favour look out for Kyle today." Brax called over to him.

"Sure but I don't see why I need to as I think he will be fine?" Casey replied.

"Because you're his brother Casey and just because you think he will be fine doesn't mean he will be after all look at your first day at Summer Bay High."

"Fine I'll look after him but I don't think he will be happy that I'm watching him."

"Thank you and also if he complains you have permission to tell that I out you up to it."

"Ok." Casey answered.

With that Brax headed out of the living room and towards Kyle's bedroom where he stopped and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" shouted a voice from inside.

Brax entered Kyle's room to find his new found brother sat on his bed with his school bag beside him. As he looked around the room he noticed that the room didn't look like a teenage boy's bedroom instead it just looked like a guest room or a hotel room.

"Are you ready to mate?" Brax asked the teenager.

"Yeah, I was just thinking." Kyle said to him.

"About what?"

"If I'll make any friends and if I will understand the curriculum as I'm pretty sure its different to what I was studying back in Melbourne."

"You will be fine and if you don't understand anything your learning just ask for help."

"Yeah I will anyway I guess I better go before Casey gets annoyed."

"Yeah you better. Oh Kyle, you will need to come straight home from school as well."

"Why?"

"Cause we are going shopping because no offense mate but this room kinda reminds me of a hotel room."

Kyle's face lit up with a smile and said to Brax: "Ok, I'll see you later."

Nearly 9 hours later…

Kyle comes through the door and heads straight to his bedroom. Brax and Ricky just look at each other.

"Is he alright?" Ricky asks.

"I don't know; I'll give him a couple of minutes then I'll go check on him." Brax replied.

A couple minutes later Kyle reappeared, no longer in his school uniform instead he was now wearing his maroon baseball top with black jeans and his favourite denim hooded jacket.

"Where are you going?" Ricky asked when she saw him with his coat on.

"Well Brax said I had to come straight home so we could go shopping to decorate my bedroom." Kyle replied with a smile on his face.

"So that's why you went straight to your room instead of stopping and telling us how your first day went and where the hell Casey is?" Brax said to him.

"Yeah sorry, I was just doing what you told me to do. Oh and Casey told me to tell you he was heading to the surf club with his mates."

"That's ok mate and thanks for letting me know." Brax said to his brother. "Anyway we better go then before all the shops shut."

Shopping centre

"So any ideas for how you want your bedroom?" Brax asked as they got out of the car.

"Nope I was just thinking we would get some paint and a desk." Kyle replied.

"Mate, you are getting more than just paint and a desk we are going to do your whole room out."

"Oh then I definitely have no idea."

"Why don't you do what Casey did and base your room on something you love. Casey's room represents the beach and surfing because that's what he enjoys the most."

"I guess I could do that." Kyle said as they entered the DIY store.

"So what do you enjoy the most then?" Brax asked realising he had no clue what Kyle liked.

"Well I guess I love music so that could be the theme for my room."

"That's a great idea, lets see if we can find some wallpaper in the teen section and get some paint to match then how about we buy you some vinyl records from like a charity shop and we can stick them on the walls and stuff."

"Yeah that would be great and I could get desk maybe for my school work and stuff."

"Yeah I guess we are going to have to buy you a laptop as well for your work."

"That's ok I can just use the school computers."

"No you need one so we will buy one."

"It's ok really Brax you don't need to spend a lot of money on me."

"Kyle you are my brother and I'm going to spoil you considering I have 14 years of birthday presents to buy." Brax laughed.

"Ok and Brax, thank you"

"For what?"

"For letting me live with you."

"Oh that's alright besides we couldn't have you living on the street." Brax said.

With that the two brothers went off in search of there shopping list.

Present time…

Brax smiled as he recounted that day. He realised on that shopping trip he learned a bit about Kyle not only his music but that he didn't want to have people spend a lot on him which he never understood.
