Hello, the author here I just want to say thank you for continuing to read my fanfiction and also for the lovely comments. Not to confuse anyone by the flashback in this one I'm just going to explain it now, in the first proper chapter I had said that Brax found Kyle 2 years ago but when this is set it is technically 3 years ago as Kyle had just turned 14 a two days before Brax found him and now that Kyle is 17 this would technically be 3 years later to be exact as Kyle's operation is happening in the late/early hours of the second day after his birthday. Anyway now that explanation is over, here's the next chapter.


Tamara sat beside Maddy playing with the empty coffee cup that was still in her hands. While she was doing that Tamara started to think back to the day her opinion of Kyle changed completely.

Flashback 2 years and 5 months ago…

Braxton House

Kyle was in living room playing on the games console when Casey and Tamara walked though the front door.

"Hey guys!" Kyle shouted to them while trying to concentrate on winning the game he was playing.

Casey sat down and said: "Hey, have you just sat here all day?"

"Yeah had nothing else to do."

Tamara laughed and said: "Aww does Kyle have no friends?"

"TAMARA!" Casey shouted at her "She didn't mean that bro."

"No she did Casey you know she did!" Kyle said as he stood up and left the room.

"Why did you say that?"

"Aww come Case we all know its true I mean it's been five months and he still has no friends."

"Yeah I know that Tam but you don't need to keep reminding him. You didn't make friends with everyone straight away."

"Yeah but after five months I had friends he doesn't well apart from you that is."

"Yeah well Kyle seems to be a bit shy that's all and eventually he will make friends. Brax and Ricky aren't worried they understand it's going to take Kyle awhile to settle in properly."

"Casey when are you going to get that no one wants to make friends with the freak, even if he's your brother." Tamara said to her boyfriend, not realising that Heath and Brax had just walked in.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!" Heath shouted at Tamara.

Both teens turned round to see the oldest Braxton's stood in the doorway.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!" Heath shouted again but louder.

"Nothing." Tamara said.

"Well it didn't sound like it!" Brax shouted. "And why are you letting her talk about Kyle that way?"

"I told her to stop when she said to Kyle that he has no friends." Casey replied quickly.

"Really you let her say that to him? Where is he?" Heath asked.

"He went to his room."

"Tamara you need to leave right now and I will be calling Roo to let her know what's happened." Brax said to her.

"Why?" Tamara asked.

"Did she seriously just ask why?" Heath said to his brother.

Brax looked at Heath and then said: "I will be calling Roo because what you just said was uncalled for considering you don't even know Kyle and yet you are still calling him names. NOW LEAVE!"

"Brax she doesn't have to go as she's sorry aren't you?" Casey said.

"Yeah."

"No she's not Case and I think you can go to your room."

"BRAX!"

"No Casey to your room now and Tamara leave!" Brax said to the two teens now stood in front of him.

Casey and Tamara looked at each and said goodbye then Tamara quickly ran past the two older Braxton brothers and Casey stormed off to his room.

"I'll go check on Kyle, you get the beers." Heath said to Brax.

Heath lefted Brax to get the beers while he went to check on Kyle. Once outside his room he knocked and waited for an answer.

When there was no answer Heath opened the door to find Kyle's room empty and the window wide open.

"BRAX!" Heath shouted which sent Casey running out his room and Brax running out of the kitchen.

"What?" Brax said.

"Kyle's gone!"

"He went to his room Heath." Casey told him.

"Yeah well the window is open and his room is empty so he's gone."

"Come we better go find him!" Brax said as he turned round and walked back into the kitchen to put the beers back in the fridge.

As the two older brothers walked towards the door Brax shouted: "That means you too Casey!"

"You just told me to go to my room and stay there?" Casey told him.

"Yes but Kyle is missing and that means we all need to split up and find him."

"I'll call Bianca after all she's with Ricky so they can go look as well!" Heath said as he took his phone out and started dialling.

"Good idea let' go!" Brax said as all three Braxton brothers split up to search for Kyle.

The Pier

Kyle was sat on the pier watching the boats out on the water and thinking to himself.

I don't understand why she needs to be so mean! I haven't done anything to her, heck I don't even know her. The fact she actually called me a freak is just plain cruel. I don't understand why she thinks I'm freak she doesn't know anything about me, I could understand if she knew about my disease but she doesn't! All I'm trying to do is fit in and make new friends but that's a little hard when her and actually for that matter all of Casey's other friends don't even want to give me the time of day. It's so annoying when I'm with Casey and they are all talking to one another but that lot just carry on like I'm invisible! Why is it always me?

While Kyle was on the pier Tamara was walking along the beach towards the Diner where she would find Roo who was probably going to string her a life. As she got closer to the Bait shop and the Diner she could just make out Kyle sat on the pier starring into the distance and thought she would have some fun.

Once she got near to Kyle she pounced which give Kyle the shock of his life.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Kyle shouted when he stood up and turned round.

"Aww was the freak scared?" Tamara asked while laughing.

"No I wasn't but that can actually kill people you know?"

"Well I wouldn't know something like that as I'm not a nerd."

"Stop calling me that!"

"But you are a nerd!"

"Just because I'm good at school does not make me a nerd!"

"Fine then freak!"

"And stop calling me that as well!" Kyle looked her and then suddenly stepped back and grabbed hold of the railing just stop himself from falling over.

Tamara looked at him as he did and instantly became worried as she didn't expect him to do that: "Are you ok?"

Kyle looked up at her as he slid down into a sitting position: "Why do you care?"

"Because you nearly fainted."

"No I didn't!"

"Yeah you did!"

"Well I'm fine so just leave me alone!"

"You're not fine obviously do you want me to call Brax?"

"NO!" Kyle quickly shouted with a look of worry on his face "I'm fine now."

"Ok then!" Tamara said as she sat down beside him.

Looking at Kyle she sensed that he was hiding something but she didn't want to say anything after all why would he tell her after the way she had treated him only two minutes before.

"You know you can be really good a maths." Kyle said out of no where.

"Excuse me?!" She replied.

"I said if you got a tutor, you would be great at maths no problem."

"I don't need a tutor!"

"Yes you do and I'd help you if you want."

"You want to help me?" Tamara looked at him confused "After the way I have treated you?"

"Well you need help and just because your being mean to me doesn't mean you should fail maths when I can help."

"Really?"

"Yeah I'm great at maths so I don't mind."

"Ok then. Thanks I'm terrible at all the algebra stuff we are doing; it makes no sense."

"No problem however there is two conditions." Kyle said to her.

"Ok what are they?"

"1) You stop being mean to me as I have never done anything to you."

"Ok then fine I'll stop and I'm sorry. What's the other one?"

"2) You promise not to tell Brax about what just happened actually you can't tell anyone. Also thanks!"

"Fine but are you sure your…"

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Came a shout from the other end of the pier.

Heath was making his way towards them thinking she was picking on Kyle again and not realising she was actually being nice to him.

"Heath it's fine!" Kyle shouted to his brother.

Heath stood in front of the two teens and said: "No isn't fine Kyle considering she has been calling you names!"

"I've just apologised!" Tamara said to Heath.

"I bet you have!"

"It's try Heath she just apologised to me." Kyle said looking up at his brother.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes would I have any reason to lie to you?"

"Not really."

"Well then, anyway it's nearly dinner time so shouldn't we go Heath?"

Heath looked at Tamara and then Kyle who was getting up from where he had just been sat: "Ok and yeah we better go."

With that the two brothers left Tamara to sit on the pier and wonder what was really wrong with Kyle and why she couldn't mention what she had just seen.

Present time…

When Tamara thought back to that day she realised she never had got figure out what was wrong with Kyle because she had completely forgot about but she was grateful for the help she gets every week from him with her maths as she has seen that with just his help her maths had become better over time.
