Chapter 2-Forgetful Love~

Miguel ran down the street as fast as he could calling Kay's name. She didn't
answer and he got worried. Then when he started to slow down, he saw her, She
was was at the the place they first met, in the park. She was sitting on the
bench crying, he then started walking over to her. Right before he got to
her, she turned around. She stood up to walk away but he stopped her
midstrid. He said," Kay I'm sor--!"But before he could finish she
screamed,"Just leave me the hell alone, I HATE you!"She then turned around
and ran. He felt like he had just been slapped in the face. It took him a few
seconds to recover from the shock. He then tried to think of where she would
go.

~~~~Meanwhile~~~~
Kay was silently cursing herself for telling Miguel she hated him, when she
knew she loved him. She couldn't tell him that though because he never had
loved her except as for a friend and probably never will. She knew he would
go looking for her, she could feel it. She thought a while to where she could
go so he wouldn't find her. She then knew she had to go to his house. She
then started off towards his house, when she got there she stopped scared to
knock on the door.

~~~Back to Miguel~~~
Miguel then thought she would go to the place she always went where she could
be alone, so he headed off to the beach. When he got there though, he was
suprised she wasn't there cause that's where she would always go when she was
hurting or just wanted to be alone. Then realization hit him like a bowling
ball hitting bowling pins, of course she wouldn't go there she knew he would
look for her.That would be the only place he knew that she would go. He stood
there pondering through his thoughts. He kept asking himself the same
questions over and over again. How could I forget about my best friend? Why
was she so mad at me, I wasn't the only one who forgot about her? She had
always been there for him throuigh thick and then. She knew everything about
him. Charity didn't even know some of the things she did. She was there when
his dad disappeared, she had been the strong one through all his troubles.
When they had problems at the sametime, she always put hers aside to help him
through his. She had always remembered his familys and his birthdays. She
always wished his family a Happy Birthday when it was their birthday. She had
always gave him a present on his Birthday. She always did something to cheer
him up when the anniversary of his dad's disapperance came around. He had
forgotten about his dad since charity had come to town. He never even spent
time with his family anymore either.
~~~Lopez Fitzgerald House~~~
When Kay finally knocked on the door she was relieved to see miguels older
brother Luis standing there. He greeted her,"hi, Kay," and welcomed her in.
He then proceeded to say" HAPPY BIRTHDAY!", with a smile on his face. "Are
you happy to be 18?" he asked. She sarcastically answered,"Thrilled." He
sensed the sarcasm in her voice and said," Kay sit down." She did then he
asked ,"Kay , what's wrong?"Concern laced in his voice. "Nothing, "she lied.
He knew she was lying but decided to drop the subject and let her tell him
when she was ready. They had always had been kind of close she was
practically his younger sister. She use to spend the night almost every night
when she and miguel were younger. The he asked," Why aren't with Miguel?"
When he finished she broke down in tears. He instinctively comforted her like
he would his family, by holding her close and letting her cry on his
shoulder. He wondered why she was crying. Maybe it was something he did or
said, he wasn't quite sure though.
~~~Kay~~~
Kay hadn't realized what she had done till she felt someone holding her. She
thought it was Miguel because how strong his arms felt but when she looked
up she saw luis. She started crying even harder then and decided she should
tell him what was wrong. He asked ," Did I say something to make you cry?"
Concerned in his voice. Key then smiled a little to know that someone cared
about her. She replies,"Yeah, but you couldn't have known!" "Couldn't have
known what?" Luis said confused. "That Miguel forgot about my birthday!" she
said in a ragged voice. She could barely talk b/c all the tears she had shed.
Luis eyes got big then replied,"Did I just hear you right? MIGUEL forgot
about YOU? (Short Pause) "How, I mean Miguel your best friend in the whole
world forgot about you?" He asked shocked. She replies sadly," Yeah, my old
best friend, he has a new one now?" Luis looked confused. "Charity," she
simply replied. "Oh right, I forgot."he said. She smiled and said," Your one
of the few ones that forgot about charity." "You, Theresa, Simone , and your
mom are the only ones who have rembered I'm even alive." She said starting to
cry again. He said," Don't worry it'll be ok." "How about you get some rest
in Miguels room, he won't be home anytime soon, "Luis replied. She choked
out," Ok and Thanks Luis for everything." She was suprised she said that much
b/c of the tears that were falling down her cheeks. He replies," Kay no need
to Thank me your practically family, I do anything for you!" They both said
their goodnights and Luis walked to the living after walking kay to Miguels
bedroom
