Sam stormed back into the house and headed straight for his liquor cabinet. He rolled his eyes when he saw that his brother Hank was already there sitting on the couch trying to calm his wife." You knew, and you did nothing."
"Sam, Ethan and I both talked to her and she promised us she was going to stop seeing him." Hank and walked toward his brother. "I honestly think his cares about her."
"I honestly think you've lost your mind." Luis walked into the family room, and took a seat on the couch. " Brian or Antonio or whatever he wants to call himself is too old and too experienced for someone like Kay." "He's a bad influence pure and simple, and all the proof you need is the fact that she's been lying to everyone about 'their relationship'."
" I admit I don't like the age difference, but I don't think Brian is a bad influence." Grace was glad that she sent Jessica and Charity out; she had a feeling this was going to get ugly and violent and didn't want anyone that didn't need to be here involved. " Brian was always a good kid, and he's turned into a good man."
"That's just it, his is a man, and Kay's a little girl and they don't belong together."
"I agree with that." Miguel came in followed by John, Ethan, Theresa, Sheridan, and Pilar. " Brian and Kay don't belong together."
Pilar took the seat by Grace and grabbed her son's hand. "Mijos, just calm down, we should talk about this like adults."
"Pilar's right, we should discuss this like rational adults, need I remind you that it was your tempter that kept us from talking to them earlier." Ethan walked over to his father, and took the service revolver form him, taking out the bullets as he went, he walked over to Luis and put his hand our for his gun." Rational, Luis."
Sam put down his drink and rounded on his son." How can you be rational when your eighteen year old sister spent the night with a twenty-fiver year old man on his boat, ALLNIGHT."
Ethan closed his eyes and began clenching his fist." That part makes we want to hurt him, but………" Ethan fights of the anger that his father's idea brought on, and needed to take a long breath." We must remember that Kay and Brian are adults, and… and…" The imagines override Ethan's good sense and he cracks." God, now I want him dead." Ethan takes the drink form his father and finishes it.
They sat in Brian's truck about a block away from her house, neither one wanted to go in. " I see Luis's car, and if I'm not mistaken that would be Sheridan's, probably got my mother in there too." Brian turned and looked at Kay, who was now a pale pasty gray. "We not going in there." He started the car, and was about to pull off when Kay put a hand on his shoulder.
"No, we promised, plus my father would probably put up a road block if we didn't show up, I just need a minute." She opened the door and swung her legs out, but instead of getting out the car, she put her head between her knees, and began taking deep breathes.
Brian comes around to her side and smoothes her head back." It'll be all right, their just surprised."
'We were all surprised." Brian turns at the sound of the new voice, and recognizes the youngest Bennet daughter. " Gee Kay, other people just show up someplace holding hands. But no you have a your relationship published on the front page of the paper." Jessica came from behind the tree and walked toward the truck.
"What!?!?" Kay's head popped up, and she glowered at her sister." What are you talking about?"
Jessica pulled a paper from behind her back and handed it to her sister." Here."
"Oh my god." Kay stared at the paper with horror written all over her face. There it was her and Brian in a color pictured, clearly identified in the caption. She handed it to Brian as she cover her face." No wonder their upset, we're practically inhaling each other."
Brian made a mental note to kill the person that did this, but had other concerns on his mind." Jessica, how is everybody doing?" He bids toward the house.
"Oh, you're dead." Jessica couldn't ever remembering seeing her father as upset he was when he first left. " I'd run, stop when I run out of gas, and just start a new life where ever. " She turned to look at her sister and just shook her head. " If I were you, I'd get real use to the inside of your room."
"Oh god, this is all the Gazette's fault, we could have hidden out relationship for years with the that damn paper's interference." Kay took a deep breath, and turned to Brian." It's time."
Brian took her hand and headed toward the house, he turned back to look at Jessica. "You coming?"
"Oh no, I rather not be a witness." Jessica picked up the paper." Besides I have something to do, but you have fun."
The room was deadly quiet as the clock ticked, and everyone inside waited for the infamous couple. Seconds later they were rewarded with the sound of the kitchen door opening, Sam mad move to go, but Grace stopped him." Calm Sam."
"Good morning everyone." Kay walked in first thinking it would harder to attack him with her in front. "Beautiful Day."
"Kay." Grace gave her daughter an admonishing look.
" Well, what do you want me to say, Mom." Kay shrugs her shoulders. "Hi everyone, enjoy the picture of me and Brian making out of on the front page of the paper."
"Don't say anything." Sam steeped forward and waved off Grace's attempt to calm him, and pointed to Brian" I want YOU, to get your hands off MY daughter, and never come near her or my family again."
"Dad, calm." Ethan steps in front and tries to push him back.
"I'm calm, you can tell cause I haven't killed him yet, and trust me I want to."
"Sam's right, Antonio you need to leave Kay alone." Luis stood and folded his arms across his body, he had to if he didn't he was sure he would be choking his brother right now." In fact I think it best if you left Harmony."
"Oh my god, now you're kicking him out of town." Kay threw up her hands and started mumbling under her breath about sanctimonious know it alls.
"Kay, I think you need to you need to say out of this." Miguel spoke form his place leaning against the wall.
"Actually I believe I'm the focal point of the entire discussion." "What are you doing here?"
"I'm concerned about you." Miguel stood and moved closer to her. "We all are."
"Why, I'm adult, in an relationship." She looked around the room confusion written clearly on her face. " Sheridan is in a relationship, I don't see people setting up interventions for her."
"Sheridan's not dating someone too old for her."
"Well, since I was put in the conversation, I'd like to say that I think Brian and Kay make an cute couple." Her statement was meet with several glares from most of the room.
"How modern of you." Sam turned back to his daughter." You're not seeing him anymore."
"Yes, I am." Kay stood face to face with her father not flinching under the heat of his angry stare. "I'm an adult and I'll date who I want."
Brian steeped forward and took her arm pulling her back." Chica calm down."
"CHICA!" Miguel angry outburst was followed by his fist colliding with Brian chins, sending to the man falling to the floor, but Miguel attack wasn't over because he followed his brother down continuing to rain blows about his face and body, which the older man tried to block.
John and Hank rushed to break up the fight; the other men seemed to enjoy watching the melee. When John pulled Miguel off Brian was begun to sport a black eye, and the swelling on his chin had already started.
"Mijo, stop it this instant." Pilar followed Grace to the kitchen and returned carrying ice, which she handed to Kay, who refused to leave Brian side."
"Mama, he's been lying to us for who knows how long, and need I remind you that he had Kay lying to her parents and spending the night on his boat as well." Miguel left out the part where Brian sneered mentioned his 'relationship' with Kay during their talk last night, he thought that was better left unsaid.
"I have enough this 'talking', let me end the conversation." Sam turns to Kay. "You go to your, and you not to see him anymore." He gave a dangerous smile to Brian." I catch you near my daughter again, and I will kill you."
Brian stands and stumbles a little, but stands up tall when he faces Sam." I'm not going to stop seeing Kay, Sam." "I'm sorry if you don't like it, but I'm not going to stop seeing her."
Sam glared at him with hatred, and step closer til their where nose to nose." I said it's over, and I meant it."
"Dad, it's not."
"Kay, while you leave under my roof, you do what I say."
"Then I'm leaving." Kay ran up the stairs, leaving the rest of the room stunned.
The sounds of closets and drawers opening and closing could be clearly heard, as Grace gave her husband a horrified look." Sam, don't do this."
"No, if she wants to ruin her life with HIM, then she can do someplace else." That being said Sam storms out the house."
Brian gave a defeated sigh as he moved to the stairs to wait for Kay, but he brother wasn't done with him yet." Brian stop this." Luis pointed toward Grace who was now openly crying and being comforted by Sheridan. " Just end it."
"No, once upon a time someone asked me to make a similar decision and I made the wrong decision, but not this time, it's over when Jay and I decide, not before." Brian turned back in time to see Kay at the bottom of the steps suitcases in her hands; he walked over and took them from her. "You ready?"
"Yeah." Kay refused to look back, knowing that she can't fight the tears that are just under the surface, she held them until she and Brian reached his boat where she sat in his arms and cried herself to sleep.
Meanwhile Jessica stood outside the Gazette's office fuming, not only had the editor been unsympathetic, but he had found the whole thing amusing saying that if they didn't want to be seen, they shouldn't kiss in public. "Well Duh, jackass, but that doesn't change the fact that you embarrassed my sister." She started walking toward Book Café not really paying attention to where she was going, when she bumped into someone. "Watch you're going?"
Drew stepped back and watched the little terror that actually had the nerve to be mad about walking into him." Yeah, that is what I should say to you."
Jessica stared at the blonde in front of her and almost laughed, he was a walking talking Ken doll, except that he had no manners.
"Well, excuse me Ken, I have thing to do."
The small brunette walked away leaving him standing there with his mouth open in shock." That's the second one in the last twenty four hours, maybe it's a sign to give up brunettes." He takes one final look at the angry beauty. "Nah."
