The Loser's Club Ch.22

~~~

She had been crying all night, and there was nothing he could do to fix it. Kay had asked him to take her to her dorm room, but he wasn't going to leave her like she was, he couldn't. Looking down at her he realized just how much he loved her. When Luis had asked him to give her up yesterday he felt transported back in time to Julian asking him to give up Amanda, the difference had been that his heart had answered for him. He wasn't going to lose Kay if he could prevent it, but first he had to fix this problem.

Grabbing a sheet of paper, he took a pen, and scribbled a short note that he put on the pillow besides her. Brian took one more look at her before kissing her and leaving the boat.

Theresa wasn't talking to him, he knew she had been upset about him hitting Brian, but he thought she would understand how upset he was. Kay was his best friend and his brother had been and still was in fact taking advantage of her. "Theresa, I had to he…"

"I don't care Miguel." Theresa continued to read the paper.

"I had to…"

Theresa threw down the paper. And glared at him. "No you didn't, his your brother, and neither you nor Luis has the right to judge because of who he's seeing."  "I can't believe that you two, Luis orders him to leave town, and you attack him." Miguel gave her some sad look and she couldn't take it anymore. "And don't act like you're doing this on Kay's behalf, cause I know better."

Miguel's eye widens when he fully understand what his sister was trying to say. " Theresa, it's not like that."

"Really." Theresa leans over and begins to whisper." You didn't attack Brian because you were jealous of him being with Kay." He looked away, and she smiled in triumph. "That's what I thought."

"What's what you thought?"

Theresa gave Luis the same glared she had given Miguel.

"Theresa, I asked you a question?"

Theresa began reading the paper again, ignoring both men.

"She not speaking to us."

"That's a little immature, even for you Theresa." Luis poured himself some coffee and sat down across form his sister." You can't possibly agree with what Antonio's."

"Yes, I do." She lowered the paper and met his startled eyes." I admit when I first found out that I thought just like you did, but I've seen them together, and they love each other Luis, and it's not our place to condemn them for it."  

"YOU KNEW." Luis slammed his fist down on the table." You knew and you didn't tell me."

"It's none of your business." Theresa folded the paper. " They're both adults and just because you don't agree with it doesn't make it wrong." "I know you're trying to protect us, but this is the way to do it." Theresa moves to the kitchen door, and stops just outside." You're wrong about this Luis."

Brian stood outside the Harmony Police Department and paced, he didn't now how exactly he was going to fix this but he knew he had to, for Kay. Straightening he pushed opened the door and walked in and noticed how the room seemed to stop. All the room of officer's stared at him; some whispered, but only one had the courage to talk to him.

" Hey Antonio." He name was Murphy, and he had been in his Antonio's class, but he didn't really look glad to see him." I don't think you should be here, the Chief's been in his office just shinning his gun."    

"I figured, but I take my chances." He nodded to the man, headed for Sam's office, and knocked on the door. "Sam, it's me Brian."

The door is pulled opened, and an angry Sam stands in the doorway. "What?"

"I'd like to talk to you, if I could?"

"Fine." Sam left the door opened and returned to his desk, and to shining his gun. "Have a seat."

Brian closed the door, leaving half the squad room, stunned at his stupidity.

Kay suddenly felt cold, and she knew why as soon as she felt for Brian. It was crazy how depended she had become on him in such a short time, but she did, she needed to sleep and basically to live. She felt something tickling her ear and looked over to find a not on his pillow.

Chica

 I had an errand to run.

Be back soon, don't move I have a

surprise for you.

Brian

Kay smiled; she loved Brian's surprises, the last was a picnic dinner on the hill were they had their first meeting. Excited Kay jumped form the bed and ran to the bathroom to change. When she returned ten minutes later she heard someone knocking on the door. Thinking that Brian left his key she runs to open it with a huge smile in her face that fades when she sees it's Miguel.

 "What are you doing here, Miguel?" Kay hadn't moved form the doorway, and showed no sings of ever doing so. "Brian's not here, so maybe you find a punching bag to hit, instead of your innocent brother?"

"How can you stand here in his home, and tell me that he's innocent?" Miguel pushes past her and walks into the small room, that now seems smaller with Kay's bag in the corner." He's got you living in sin with him."

"One, no one invited you in, Two, I stayed because I was too tired to go to my dorm room, where I'll be living, and Three no one makes me do anything, I have always made my own decisions." Kay sits down at the small kitchen chair and glares at her former best friend. " Now did you want something or is this just a social visit?"

Miguel sat down on the bed, and tried not to imagine how the sheets got twisted around. "I wanted to talk to you."

"Well, talk, but if this about me and Brian, don't bother." She knew this routine, she had seen a dozen times, Miguel wouldn't agree with her position on something he would come in smile and she would agree with anything he said, but things were different now. His smile wasn't as persuasive as it used to be, and she was much stronger.

"No, this is about us."

"What us? I'm not friends with people that attack my boyfriend."

"No, I want to talk about the possibility of an 'us'."

Sam watched the man with disdain, he had been there when Brian was growing up, had taken him fishing along with his own children, and had taught the man to drive, but he had never seen this coming. He had believed that one day they would be in laws, but that it would Kay and Miguel or Theresa and Noah, but never Brian and Kay, and now he felt betrayed.  

 Brian sat down and meets his glare. "Sam, I know you don't like the idea of Kay and I, but…."

"No you don't know." Sam put the gun down and watched him through narrowed eyes." You don't know what it's like to know that your daughter had been lying to you, and that's she been sneaking around seeing a man too old for her." He lens over his desk flashing his white teeth in a snarl. "You don't know the rage I felt when I found out that my daughter spent the night with you, when I thought she was safely across the street."

"Sam, I care about Kay." "I won't hurt her." He ran his hand through his hair, and stared at the man who had helped raise him. "What can I say to get you accept us?"

"There's nothing you can say." "I don't trust you, I don't trust you not to use my daughter, and I don't trust you not to run."

"I would die, before I hurt or leave Kay."

"No, you'd die shortly after." Sam looked at his watch. "Are you done yet?"

Brian stood, and took something out of his pocket, he slid the small handkerchief across the desk to Sam." I love your daughter, and if you don't believe that then believe this."

Sam opens the handkerchief, and sees a small silver wedding band. " Oh, I don't believe this." He looks up at the man and almost wavered at the determination he saw in his eyes. "Kay's not ready for marriage."

"I know, but I'll be there when she is." Brian folds up his grandmother's wedding band, and puts it in his shirt pocket. " And so will this."

He opened the door and turned to stare at Sam." I'm sorry you can't support us." He walks out into the station and runs into his brother Luis, who merely glares at him.

 "Excuse me?" Kay stared at him in shock. 'the possibility of 'us'." What did you just say?"

"Kay I think I'm in love with you." Miguel moved to kneel beside her, taking her hand." In fact I know I'm in love with you."

Kay stared at him, she had waited years to hear him say that, but now the words that would have once caused her heart to soar only caused laughter. "You're…. " She couldn't seem to stop laughing." You're delusional."

"Kay I'm serious, I love you." Miguel didn't understand why she was laughing at all; he had just declared his love." It seems like I've loved you all my life."

"You're not in love with me, you just don't want anyone else to have me." Kay stood and brushed off Miguel's hand." This love you have for me does your fiancée know about it?"

Miguel looked at the floor, and then back to her." I haven't spoken to her yet." He moved to take her hand again." But I will tell her, and then we can be together."

"The hell you can." Brian enters the small room and glared at his brother amazed that he actually had the nerve to show up here. " What are you doing here Miguel?"

Miguel stood his ground. "I'm here to see Kay."

"You've seen her, now go." Brian moved form the door and left it open, and moved to stand by Kay whose face couldn't be read.

Miguel gave a pleading look to Kay, and when she didn't respond he gave his brother an angry look before leaving.

Brian checked to make sure the door was locked before turning to Kay. " Are you okay?"

"Yeah, you wouldn't believe what your brother said." Kay sat down, and grinned at the absurdity of the situation.

" He told you he loves you." Brian leaned against the wall and watched her carefully. "Maybe I shouldn't have told him to leave."

"No, you were right, he was getting on my nerves." "Besides, he didn't mean it anyway, he's suffering form dog in the manger disease."

"Does, it bother you that he doesn't really love you?"

Kay caught the forced casualness of the question. "Brian I don't care about Miguel's feelings except if they involve you. " she stood and walked toward him slipping her hand around his waist, and bringing her lips to lightly touch his cheek." I'm over Miguel." Her lips traveled the short distance to meet his and remained there for several second leaving them both breathless. "You know that don't you."

At that moment Brian wasn't sure he could remember his name much less what ever she was talking about, so he merely nodded.

"I don't think you do." Kay stepped away from the wall and began leading Brian to the bed, before turning and pushing him back on it, and following him down." But when I done, I think you'll know for sure." Kay then proceeded to do exactly that.
