Brief Description: Lacy Lynn must deal with her parents' divorce, the responsibility of raising her brother, and falling in love at a young age.
Summer ended and Lacy went back to school. Tristen started going to preschool, so Lacy walked him there every morning after she made him breakfast. Then she walked to school. After school, she would pick her brother up and take him back to the apartment that her mother had rented. Cindy called a few times, but Lacy let the answering machine get it. When Sharon heard Cindy's messages, she called her up and warned her never to call again, so Cindy stopped calling.
Kevin also called a few times, but Lacy didn't answer the phone. As far as she was concerned, she had no father. It was only she and Tristen and the bitch they called Mom. Lacy spent all of her time with her brother, playing with him, cooking for him, bathing him, reading to him, and putting him to bed. Whenever Lacy needed money for food, clothes, or anything else, she would call Tony. He would come to the house and give her money and she would go out with her brother and get the things that she needed.
Summer was approaching again and it had been nine months since she'd talked to her father. He hadn't bothered trying to visit on his off days, because he knew Lacy didn't want to see him, but now that summer was approaching, Kevin had every intention of bringing his children out to see him. When he called the house the day before Lacy and Tristen got out of school for the summer, Sharon answered the phone. "Lace, your father wants you and Tristen to go and see him for the summer." Sharon called. "Tell him Tristen can go, but I'm not coming." Lacy shouted. "Lacy doesn't want to come." Sharon said. "I don't give a damn if she wants to come or not. You put her on the damn plane." Kevin growled. "Fine, but don't blame me if she ignores you or hates you for it." Sharon said. "Put her on the phone now." Kevin shouted. "Lacy, pick up the phone." Sharon called.
Lacy went to the phone in her room and picked it up. "What?" She asked. "Lace, it's been nine months. You need to get over this shit and start talking to me again." Kevin said. "That's okay, I'd rather not. I hate you and I hate all of your friends and I really don't want to see you." Lacy replied. "That's too damn bad. You're coming out for the summer." Kevin snapped. "Bullshit." Lacy shouted. "What did you just say?" Kevin asked, surprised that his daughter was cursing. "Where'd you learn that from, your mother?" He asked. "I have to go. Have fun with Tristen, because I'm not coming." Lacy shouted. Then she slammed down the phone.
When Kevin flew home to pick up his kids that weekend, Tristen was packed and ready to go, but Lacy was nowhere to be found. "Where is she?" Kevin asked. "I don't know. She got up this morning and packed Tristen's things. Then she brought the bags down and gave Tristen breakfast. After that, she left the house." Sharon explained. "Damnit." Kevin growled. He grabbed his son's bags and took his son to his house. He was shocked when he saw that Lacy was in the swimming pool. Scott and Shawn had stopped at a store on the way to Kevin's house. When they pulled up, they saw Kevin and Tristen on the front porch. "Where's Lacy?" Shawn asked. "In my pool." Kevin replied, as he unlocked the door.
When he set his bags down, along with Tristen's he walked out to the yard. "Hey, Lace." He said. Lacy looked up and saw her father standing over her. "What?" She asked. "Why aren't you packed?" Kevin asked. "Because, I'm not going." Lacy replied. "Lacy, come on. I want to spend the summer with you. I've missed you." Kevin said. "Fine. I'll pack later. Right now I'm swimming." Lacy grumbled. "Okay, no problem. We're not leaving until tomorrow anyway." Kevin replied.
When Lacy walked into the house and saw Scott, she frowned. "Hey, Lacy." Shawn said, greeting her with a hug. "Hi, Shawn. How are you?" Lacy asked. "Can't complain." He replied, with a slight smile on his face. Lacy walked right past Scott and up the stairs. When she came down, Scott walked over to her. "Can we talk?" He asked. "Why?" Lacy retorted. "Please, Lacy. It's been nine months since I last talked to you." Scott said. She nodded and walked out to the front porch. Scott walked out and sat down next to her.
"Please tell me why you're so angry with me." Scott said. He could see the hurt in her eyes, but he didn't understand it. They had always been close and he liked it that way. Now she wanted nothing to do with him and it hurt like hell. "What do you want me to say?" She asked. "I don't know. Say something. I hate that you don't talk to me anymore." Scott replied. "I'm sorry. You hurt me. I don't know if I can get past that." Lacy commented. "How did I hurt you? Tell me what I did." Scott replied. "I didn't like seeing you with Cindy." Lacy said. "What's the big deal? We're both adults." Scott replied.
"I thought I made it clear. I guess I didn't. You know, even Shawn knew. I guess you just didn't catch on the way he did." Lacy commented. "What, that you had a crush on me?" Scott asked. Lacy shrugged. "Lace, I'm flattered that you think of me that way, but I'm twelve years older than you are. You're fourteen, Lacy. That's a huge difference in age." Scott commented. When she felt tears coming to her eyes, she got up and started to walk away. "Lacy, come on. Don't walk away. Talk to me." Scott said. "I can't, Scott." Lacy replied. He could tell she was crying and it made him feel even worse. He had no idea how to fix this, though he wanted to, badly.
"Lacy, what were you expecting?" Scott asked. "What do you mean?" She countered. "What were you expecting from me?" He asked the question again, a little more specifically this time. "I honestly don't know, Scott. Everyone sees me as some little kid. I'm not a little kid. I have more responsibility than most people my age. I'm not a little kid and I have feelings like everyone else, but no one gets that." Lacy said. "I get that, Lacy. I know you do and I know you're hurt right now. I want to fix it. I don't want you to be angry with me." Scott replied. "You can't fix it, Scott. No one can." Lacy replied. "Why not?" He asked, growing more confused by the minute. "Because, I want something that you can't give me." Lacy replied.
She walked into the house leaving Scott thoroughly confused. He got up and followed her, wanting to know what she meant. He was glad when he saw that Kevin was in the yard. "Lacy, what did you mean?" Scott asked. Shawn looked up from a magazine he was reading when he heard Scott come in. "Never mind." Lacy replied. "Come on. You have to tell me what you meant by that." Scott said. "Scott, I don't even want to say it, because if I do, then it'll hurt me more. Just thinking about it hurts me." Lacy said.
"What?" Scott asked, getting frustrated now. "Leave it alone, please." Lacy cried. "No, you have to talk to me. I can't leave it like this. It's driving me crazy. We used to be close. Now you won't even talk to me and I can't stand it." Scott said. Lacy glared at him for a minute before going into the kitchen. "Please, tell me Lacy." He said. "Fine. You really want to hear this? Fine, I love you Scott. I'm fourteen and I fell in love with you." Lacy screamed. Then she ran up the stairs to her old room and slammed the door.
Shawn was just as shocked as Scott was. Kevin had heard his daughter and came into the house to see what was going on. "What happened?" He asked. "Well, to sum it up in one sentence, your daughter just told Scott that she's in love with him." Shawn said. Kevin's jaw dropped when he heard that. "You're kidding me." Kevin said. "Please tell me you're joking." He commented. "I kid you not. Your daughter has announced that she is in love with Scott Hall." Shawn said. "Would you stop saying it like that?" Scott shouted. "Sorry, man. Just trying to lighten the mood." Shawn replied.
Kevin walked up to his daughter's room and knocked on the door. He could hear her crying, so he opened the door and walked in. "Lacy, are you okay?" He asked. She looked up at him and stared at him for a minute before burying her face in her pillow. "Sweetheart, don't cry. We can talk about this and we can work it out." Kevin said. "How? You going to let me date a twenty-six year old guy?" Lacy retorted. Kevin didn't answer, because he knew she wouldn't want to hear the answer anyway. "Listen, I know you think you love Scott." Kevin commented. Lacy looked up again and laughed. "I don't think." She retorted. "Lacy, you can't possibly love him. He's twelve years older than you are." Kevin commented. "I don't care. I know how I feel and if that bothers you, I'm sorry. But I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I don't." Lacy replied.
Kevin was speechless. He had no idea what to say to that. "Look, fine. You love him, but you can't possibly expect him to love you back." Kevin said. "Why not?" Lacy asked. "Lacy, you're fourteen." Kevin said. "So, I'm pretty." Lacy snapped. "Of course you are. You're very pretty, but Scott will never be interested in you the way you want him to be. You're too young." Kevin said. "I don't want to go with you." Lacy said. "Why not?" Kevin asked. "Because I don't want to be around him." She replied. Kevin sighed heavily. He didn't want to force his daughter to come with him, but he wanted to spend time with her. "Look, just come. I'll make sure he stays away from you." Kevin said. "Daddy, please don't make me come." Lacy begged. "Lace, I never get to see you. I want to spend the summer with you." Kevin said. She sat up and nodded slowly. "I promise everything will be okay." He said, as he held her in his arms.
Later that night, Lacy walked back to her mother's apartment to get her things. When she got back to the house, Kevin asked her to sit and watch a movie. Lacy saw Scott sitting on the couch, so she sat down on the floor. "Lace, you don't have sit on the floor. Sit here." Kevin said. He got off the chair and sat down next to Scott. Shawn didn't say a word as Lacy sat down in the chair. Scott kept glancing at her now and then, wishing there were something he could say to make her feel better, but he knew that there wasn't.
After the movie ended, Kevin took Tristen upstairs and went to bed. Shawn followed. Lacy went into the kitchen to get something to eat. Scott walked in a few minutes later, hoping to talk to her. When Lacy turned around and saw him staring at her, she jumped. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." He said. "What do you want?" Lacy asked. "To talk to you." He replied. "There's nothing more that you or I need to say to one another." Lacy retorted. "Yeah, I think there is." Scott said. He walked towards her, but she backed away. "Scott, leave me alone." Lacy said. "Come on, talk to me. We were so close before, Lace. I don't want you to avoid me." He said.
Lacy turned towards the toaster and put her bagel in it, avoiding Scott as best she could. When he walked up behind her, she froze. "Lacy, please talk to me." He said. "Why are you doing this to me?" She asked. "Because, we were friends and I want that back." He replied. "You're too old for me." Lacy mumbled. "I'm not too old to be your friend." He replied. When she turned around, she saw that he was standing right in front of her. She looked up at him and saw him smirking at her. "What?" She asked. "Well, looks to me like you're cornered. You can't move." He commented. "Just get out of my way." She mumbled. He shook his head no and laughed. "Not until you talk to me." He replied.
"Scott, come on. It's late and I'm tired." Lacy said. "Talk to me and I'll let you by." He replied. Lacy sighed and leaned against the counter. "What do you want me to say?" She asked. "Say that you're not angry with me. Say that we're still friends." He replied. "Fine, I'm not angry with you and we're still friends." Lacy said. Then she tried to pass him, but he wouldn't let her by. Without thinking about it, he slid his arms around her waist and pinned her to the counter. Lacy felt her heart pounding in her chest. This was exactly what she hadn't wanted. Being this close to him wasn't good for either one of them.
When she looked up, she saw him smirking again. "Scott, please just stop it." Lacy pleaded with him, hoping he'd let her go. "Lacy, we're going to be spending three months together. You can't avoid me all the time." Scott commented. "Dad said he'll keep you away from me." Lacy replied. Scott laughed when he heard that. "What if I don't want to stay away?" He asked. Lacy felt herself getting tense. She tried pushing him away gently, but he held onto her tightly. "What's it going to take, Lace?" He asked. "I don't understand." Lacy said. "What's it going to take to get you to forgive me for what happened between Cindy and I." He replied.
She looked up at him and studied his face for a minute, wondering how to answer that. She knew what she wanted, but she knew he probably wouldn't give it to her. "Tell me." He said. "I want you to kiss me." Lacy whispered. Scott wasn't surprised with her response, but he was surprised that she'd found the nerve to say it. He decided one kiss wouldn't hurt anything, so he lowered his head and kissed her lips gently, intending to leave it at that, but Lacy wrapped her arms around him and encouraged him to continue. He found himself wanting to kiss her, so he gave in and deepened the kiss, giving her exactly what she'd been wanting since the year before.
Lacy's heart pounded in her chest as the kiss continued getting more heated with each passing second. She had wanted him to kiss her this way for a long time and now, she didn't want him to stop. After a few minutes passed, he let go of her and backed away. "I'm sorry. That shouldn't have happened." He mumbled. "Don't be sorry." Lacy whispered. "Lace, you're fourteen. I can't believe I did that." He mumbled, as he turned away from her. Lacy turned toward the counter and buried her face in her hands as she started to cry. "Damnit." Scott mumbled under his breath. He'd wanted to fix things and he just made them a whole lot worse. He heard her crying, so he walked over and put his arms around her. "Lacy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." Scott said.
"The only thing that hurts me is the fact that I can't have you." Lacy whispered. Scott turned her around so that she was facing him. Then held her while she cried. "I'll make a deal with you." He said, after she stopped crying. "What?" She mumbled. "You have to promise that you'll talk to me and hang out with me like we used to do." Scott said. "And?" Lacy asked. "And when you're older, we'll see how things go." Scott replied. Lacy looked up at him and saw him smiling at her. "What are you trying to say?" She asked. "If I answer that, it's between us." Scott replied. Lacy nodded and smiled. When he whispered in her ear, she looked up at him and smiled. Then she kissed him again. This time, Scott didn't hesitate to kiss her back. "But, you have to promise that everything that happened between us tonight, stays between us." Scott said. "I promise." Lacy replied. "Okay, you should get some sleep. We have an early flight tomorrow." He said. Lacy nodded and went to her room feeling better than she had in a while.
The following morning, when Lacy came down, she was in a great mood. Kevin and Shawn were surprised, but Scott knew that what he'd told her the night before had made her happy. "So, why are you so happy this morning?" Kevin asked. "Because, Scott and I talked last night and we've worked things out." Lacy replied. "Oh?" Kevin asked. "Yes, I've got my best friend back." Scott replied. Kevin smiled when he heard that. "Well, it's nice to see that things are finally returning to normal." Kevin replied.

I can't believe I did that." He mumbled, as he turned away from her. Lacy turned toward the counter and buried her face in her hands as she started to cry. "Damnit." Scott mumbled under his breath. He'd wanted to fix things and he just made them a whole lot worse. He heard her crying, so he walked over and put his arms around her. "Lacy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." Scott said.
"The only thing that hurts me is the fact that I can't have you." Lacy whispered. Scott turned her around so that she was facing him. Then held her while she cried. "I'll make a deal with you." He said, after she stopped crying. "What?" She mumbled. "You have to promise that you'll talk to me and hang out with me like we used to do." Scott said. "And?" Lacy asked. "And when you're older, we'll see how things go." Scott replied. Lacy looked up at him and saw him smiling at her. "What are you trying to say?" She asked. "If I answer that, it's between us." Scott replied. Lacy nodded and smiled. When he whispered in her ear, she looked up at him and smiled. Then she kissed him again. This time, Scott didn't hesitate to kiss her back. "But, you have to promise that everything that happened between us tonight, stays between us." Scott said. "I promise." Lacy replied. "Okay, you should get some sleep. We have an early flight tomorrow." He said. Lacy nodded and went to her room feeling better than she had in a while.
The following morning, when Lacy came down, she was in a great mood. Kevin and Shawn were surprised, but Scott knew that what he'd told her the night before had made her happy. "So, why are you so happy this morning?" Kevin asked. "Because, Scott and I talked last night and we've worked things out." Lacy replied. "Oh?" Kevin asked. "Yes, I've got my best friend back." Scott replied. Kevin smiled when he heard that. "Well, it's nice to see that things are finally returning to normal." Kevin replied.
