AN - Here is the first OFFICIAL chapter, it took quite a bit to lead up to
this point, but we're here, and I hope you enjoy. My intention was to put
this up with my mini chapter, but there were some problems and it had to be
rewritten. One last thing.Kyle and Kyla are two different people, sorry
for any confusion, I didn't realize it until too late.

Leigh Ann Hayden left her office building in a rush. She had plans to go out with Kari and Kyla. As she hopped into her vehicle, her phone started to ring.
"Hello?" she answered, wondering who would be calling her right after she got off work.
"Hey hun." She leaned back in her seat as she heard her dad on the other line.
"Hey dad, what are you doing?" She asked, subconsciously knowing why he called.
"Just calling to talk, and ask you a question."
"Dad, it feels like we've had this conversation millions of times, and pretty soon that won't be sarcastic at all."
"I know honey, but you don't understand how hard it is to keep this from her. She knows that I know something, and it hurts me that I can't tell her."
"Tell her I got amnesia and that since I don't remember her its best she not keeps in touch."
"What about Tristan? He and your mother have formed this bond, ready to report back to each other if one of them sees anyone who resembles you."
"Dad, I'm all grown up now, I think I can make decisions for myself, and I think its best that absolutely no one from my past life knows about me. It's my way of starting my life over, ok?"
"Fine, I'll give up, but I can't promise you she won't find out sooner or later."
"Just as long as you don't tell her. She hurt me dad, and she needs to realize that I'm not going to take anything like being forgotten."
"Goodnight daughter of mine."
"Goodnight father of mine," she said as she hung up the phone.
It was always like that, he would never say her name, it was like he couldn't adjust to her having a new name.
She got home to find Kyla on the phone with who she assumed to be Jake. She went to her room to change and freshen up so she would be ready to go out and have fun.
&%&%&%
Tristan walked into his hotel room in Seattle so he could change into more casual wear for the evening. Kyle and a couple of his friends were taking him out to a new club later, and he felt too formal for a club.
He was going to go off to Kyle's place and they were going to meet the others there.
%^%^%^%
Leigh Ann came out of her room to find Kyla off the phone and watching TV.
"Hey Kyla," she said, making her presence in the room known.
"Hey Leigh, I was starting to wonder if you were coming home or not," she said, turning to look at her friend.
"Well, we are going to that new club tonight, aren't we?"
"Yep, Jake, Josh, and Kari are meeting us there in an hour," Kyla said, "which gives us enough time to make an espresso run."
"Oh Kyla, you know me so well," Leigh Ann said, "let me grab my purse and we'll be off."
"You know we're taking your car, so make sure you have your keys, because this time I will make you journey all the way back up here to get them."
"Fine, I got them, let's go."
The two girls left and stopped by their favorite coffee shop/bookstore. Ever since Leigh Ann had left home years before, she hadn't been able to drink coffee because memories of her mother depressed her, but she was stuck with a caffeine addiction, so she switched to espresso or cappuccino, depending on what type of day she was having.
Once they left the little café, Kyla hopped in the driver's seat.
"Hey now, it's my car, how come you get to drive?" Leigh Ann questioned.
"Well, I am your best friend, and I just adore this Jeep you have here, and because you have to focus on your cappuccino."
"Fine," Leigh Ann said, giving in, "but we both know I'll be driving home."
"I know little miss "alcohol is bad for you", just remember, if you ever want to trade spots, I'm sure I could go one night without drinking."
"Ah, now that's where you are wrong, because I know you, and you couldn't, even if you tried."
"C'mon now L, I have some self-control."
"You just think that," Leigh Ann said, turning her attention towards her cappuccino.
"I will," Kyla said, pulling out of the parking lot.
)(0)(0)(0)(0)(
Kyla and Leigh Ann walked into Spectakal, and immediately spotted Jake sitting at the bar, waiting for them.
"Hey girls,"
"Hey Jake," Leigh Ann said, "Kari and Josh out dancing already?"
"You know those two, they hear the music and they're out on the floor."
"You wanna go join them?" Kyla asked.
"Sure," he said, then turned to Leigh, "hey, Josh and I are supposed to meet Kyle and a friend here, so if you see him, tell him we're here, ok?"
"No problem," Leigh Ann said, as her two friends walked off into the crowd. She always wondered why she came to these things, she always went alone, and usually had some drunken freak try to hook up with her. She gave up pondering and pulled up a stool.
%^%^%^%^%
Tristan let Kyle off at the door while he went to park to car. As he was looking for a spot, he began to regret coming to this club. First off, he didn't get to see Kyle all that often, once a month wasn't enough, and second, he really didn't feel like being his arrogant player self.
He walked into Spectakal and immediately saw Kyle sitting at the bar with some girl.
He walked up to the two, "Hey Kyle, you gonna introduce me to your friend?"
&*&*&*&*&*&
Leigh Ann spotted Kyle as he walked in and waved him over.
"Hey Kyle," she started off, "what's going on?"
"Hey Leigh," he said, taking the stool next to her, "long time no see."
"Yeah," she said, thinking of a topic, "Jake said you were coming with a friend, do I get to meet him."
"Oh Leigh, it hurts me to know you care more about him than me, but he had to park the car."
"Kyle, you know you're not my type."
"And what is your type exactly?"
"Aren't we inquisitive tonight, and if you must know, my guy has to be tall, incredibly good looking, well built, preferably blonde messy hair, and of course, easy to talk to, but you Kyle, well, you only fit one of those qualities."
"What is that?"
"You're so easy to talk to Kyle," Leigh Ann said, giggling to herself as Kyle reached over and smacked her.
"As much as I hate to say it, you may actually like Tristan, I can't say that he is 'incredibly good looking', but I can tell you that there are hundreds, if not thousands of girls out there who would say that."
Leigh Ann faltered, then realized it was a common name, "Maybe my night won't be so horrible then."
"In fact here he comes."
"Hey Kyle, you gonna introduce me to your friend?"
Leigh Ann froze at the sound of his voice, yet Kyle didn't seem to notice, "Tristan, this is Leigh Ann Hayden, Leigh Ann, this is Tristan DuGrey," Kyle said, introducing the two, but Leigh Ann stayed facing away, "Hey Leigh, this is the part where you turn around and drool."
"Right, sorry," she stood up and turned around, "hi, Tristan was it?"
$^$^$^$^$^$
Tristan felt as though time had stopped, this couldn't be real. The girl he had loved and lost was standing in front of him, or was she. Leigh Ann Hayden, Lorelei Leigh Gilmore, Christopher Hayden was her father, his mind was spinning.
All of a sudden Kyle clapped his hands in front of his face, "anybody home?"
"Right, ya, it's Tristan, nice to meet you Leigh Ann."
"Well, I'm going to go see if I can pull our buddies off the dance floor, ok Leigh?"
"Yeah, good luck with that Kyle," she said, turning back to Tristan, "So I have got to say, Kyle was right, you do fit the all those qualities."
"Really now, what qualities?"
"That's between me and Kyle."
"I see, being secretive, I can work with that, but first, if you'll excuse me, I have to go freshen up."
"I just wait here."
#^#^#^#^#^#
Leigh Ann watched him walk away. She wanted desperately to tell him everything, to be able to say 'It's me Tristan' but her dad had told her that he had a bond with her mother, and she doubted he would keep it to himself.
She went off to find Kyla and stop her from drinking anymore, tonight was her night.
"Kyla, please please please can you not drink tonight, I changed my mind, you have to drive home tonight"
"Ok, sure, have fun."
"Thank you so much Kyla."
"No problem Leigh."
+=+=+=+=
Tristan walked outside and pulled out his cell phone. It range twice then he heard a harsh voice answer, "Hello?"
"Chris, its Tristan, is Lorelei around."
"Ya, give me a second."
Tristan could hear him mumbling about how Tristan talked to Lorelei more than he did, but he really didn't care. He heard him grunt something about how she had a phone call.
"Hello?"
"Hey Lorelei, I call with good news, I think."
He could almost hear her bolt up, "What do you mean, have you found her?" The excitement apparent in her voice.
"Well, I'm pretty sure, she didn't make it to hard, her name is Leigh Ann Hayden, she looks exactly the same, except her eyes have changed, probably from contacts, and her hair is red, but I'm almost 100 percent sure its her. As soon as she heard my voice she couldn't move."
"I'm coming out there."
"No, I think we should see how tonight goes, then I'll get her to agree to go out with me next weekend, you can come then."
"Tristan, I want to come now. I want to see my daughter," she whined.
"I think its best we do things my way, we'll get her home, I promise you Lorelei."
"Tristan, find out all you can about her and call me at the end of your night, I want to know how my baby girl is."
"Alright Lor, but you know it'll be around 6 when I call."
"I think I can manage Tristan."
"I'll talk to you later then."
"Bye Tristan."
"Goodnight Lorelei."
"Yeah, I think it might be."
He hung up the phone and walked in.
%!%!%!%!%
Leigh Ann was sitting down when Tristan came back in.
"Well now, I think in the time I was gone, you got even hotter," Tristan said, sitting down next to her.
"I think the same about you," she said, agreeing to this little game he wanted to play.
"So how 'bout we get us some drinks then get out on that dance floor."
"I'd really like that," she said, thinking about how this night was looking up for her.
