The Loser's Club Ch.10

The knock on the door woke Kay, she had been napping and avoiding her family. As soon as Ethan left her uncle Hank had come over, she didn't tell him what happen, but did reassure him that she wasn't pregnant, drunk, or on drugs. Then the teen brigade of her sister and cousin arrived, who also seemed interested in her physical state.
Thankfully they had been the last visitors of the night, but the morning had been just as bad. Breakfast was like the police interrogation, where did you eat, what did you have, and who where you with. Need to read for classes had been her only escape, but of course not before she was questioned about the decision to go summer school.
"Kay, you there?"
Kay grimaced when she realized it was Miguel, he had been trying to talk to her ever since the party, but she had managed to duck him, it was too bad that Charity had the doctor's appointment leaving her shadow free to come a calling. "Yeah, hold on Miguel." After putting away her drawings in the desk draw, she opened the door to a smiling Miguel. " Hey what's up?"
Miguel steps into the room, and looks around, he hadn't been in Kay's new room, it was different form the way it used to be. Her old room had been clearly decorated by a tomboy; it had been red and blue with Boston Red Sox posters up, and pictures of him and their friend all over the place. This room was just blue, and had pictures of Landscapes and skyscrapers, the only other pictures up where that of the Bennet family, and a couple of Noah with various people. "I like what you did with your room, it's different from how it used to be?"
"Yeah, well I grew up." Kay sat down at her desk and watched as he sat on her bed. As Miguel continued to check out her room, Kay took the opportunity to look at her childhood best friend. He was letting his hair grow out again, and Kay hated that, but then she had always preferred short neat hair, like Brian had, Miguel's overgrown hair was covering his eyes. For Kay his eyes had always been his best feature, thinking about it she realized that all the Lopez-Fitzgerald men had those great hazel eyes, of course Brian's seemed better compared to his brothers. Not liking the way her thoughts were going Kay shook the thoughts of Brian from her head, if she kept going like this their friendship could never work.
"Yeah, I noticed that Kay." Miguel had seen her checking him out, he was used to it she did it a lot, but unlike before she seemed disappointed with what she saw. "You've been kind of distance lately, and I was wondering if everything was okay, you're not having problems with Reese are you?"
" Miguel, I'm fine, but Reese and I broke up yesterday." Kay waited for the fall out, of her last statement. She knew that there would be one; Miguel loved the idea of her and Reese that should have been the first clue that he wasn't interested in her.
"Broke up, why?" Miguel jumped up and started pacing. Kay and Reese were perfect for each other, in her younger days his best friend had been wilder then most, and Reese had balanced her out. "I don't understand, how this could happen."
"Miguel calm down, we grew apart."
"Grew apart?" Miguel dropped down on the bed, disbelief written on his face. " You known each since you were two, you seen him almost everyday of your life, how was it possible that you grew apart."
Kay rolls her eyes, she knew he wouldn't support her decision, and this was precisely why she had avoided talking to him. "Frankly, it doesn't matter if you get it or not, Reese and I are together, and you need to deal with it." Kay stomps toward her door and tears it open revealing a startled Charity with her hand poised to knock. " Good, you've come for your boyfriend." Kay steps back and send an angry look at Miguel. "It's been fun."
Miguel walked toward the door, looking confused and hurt, he turned and tries to explain again. "Kay, I just…"
"I don't care." Kay shut the door, and went back to her bed to sleep some more. " I should look into the dorm situation at CC."
It had been kinda a good day. He hadn't run into his or Kay's brother. Unfortunately he also had seen Kay, but he could deal with that, because they were just friend and he didn't see a lot of his friends everyday.
Thinking of friends Brian picks up his cell phone, and dials a familiar number hoping that the person he needs is there.
" St. Lisa's Hotel."
"Hey Liz, it's Brian."
"Brian, how are things in Harmony?" Liz tried to keep her voice neutral, but she knew it wouldn't work. She hadn't wanted Brian to get his heart broken, but she had known that 'Diana' wasn't the girl for him.
"Things are going, I have a job, and I'm getting closer to some of my family."
"I hate to ask, but how's Sheridan?"
"Sheridan is doing okay, she hasn't gotten her memory back, but she and Luis are engaged and doing great."
"Well, something is happening, because you don't sound like your usual self."
Brian leans against the wheel of the boat and sighed, Liz could always tell when he was troubled. " Well, my brothers and I aren't getting along at all, and I met someone."
"Oh Brian."
"But it's not like you think, it's not romantic, she just a good friend, in fact she's my brothers best friend."
"Luis's best friend, is that why you're not getting along?"
"No, it's Miguel's best friend, but she was kinda in love with him, but now she not so I don't think they're friends anymore."
"Miguel?" Liz stood up straighter, she tried to remember the order of his families, but when she does, she knows she mistaken." Isn't he your baby brother?"
"Well he's eighteen."
"EIGHTEEN." Liz drops the phone, and gives a weak smile when Doc looks up at her in surprise. "Brian tell me you're not running around with your brother's eighteen year old ex-girlfriend."
"She's not his ex-girlfriend, she was just his friend, and I'm not running around with her, we're just friends, with have some common interests."
"Really like what?"
"Well, she major in architecture, and I work in construction."
"Yeah, and don't forget how you're both human and breathe air." Liz rolled her eyes, at Brian reasoning.
"Hey, I called to her a friendly voice, not t hear what everyone else in town is saying."
"Brian, I'm sorry I just don't want you hurt and it sounds like this is a bad situation." "If your brother's feel this way, just imagine how her father would react, is he still around?"
"Yes, he's the police chief."
"BRIAN ARE YOU INSANE?" Liz lowers her voice when Doc raises a questioning eyebrow. " The police chief's daughter, Brian don't go near her again, this could get you killed."
"I know, but I……….." Brian let out a sigh. "I can't explain it to you, but I can't." "Look I gotta go, I eating dinner at my mother's house tonight, tell everyone I said hi, bye Liz."
"Bye Brian." Liz hangs up the phone as Doc comes to the reservation desk.
"What's up with Brian?"
"We need to go to Harmony, Brian's headed for trouble."
"What's wrong?"
"Brian's in love again." " Only this time I think it's real, and I have a feeling that no one is going to be real happy about it."
