Ok here is chapter 4. **Note** for this fic, I want to have Simone and Chad
as a couple. Sorry for any Chad and Whitney fans, but to make my story work
they have to be together.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Simone and Kay arrived at the youth center a little while later. When they got there the party was in full gear. Chad was there mixing the music. Simone and Kay went up to him.
"Chad."
"Simone, I'm glad you're here."
"So am I Chad, and look who I brought with me."
"Kay, how are you?"
"I'm fine Chad thanks."
"Simone told me what happened, I'm really sorry."
"Why should you be sorry that Miguel's a jerk? Thanks any way though."
"Don't mention it Kay."
"You know what, Simone, Chad, I'm gonna leave you two alone for a little while."
With that Kay walked over to the tables and took a seat leaving Simone and Chad alone.
"Chad, I'm really worried about her. I mean I've never seen her cry as much as she did today. It was like a whole different Kay. The Kay that everyone else knows is strong, and doesn't let her feelings show like that. She just completely broke down Chad, and now she's so quit and to herself. It's not her."
"You need to give her some time. Her scars are still new. She needs to get over it, trust me she will."
"I really hope so Chad. But look at her."
They both looked at her. She was just sitting there looking into her drink. She had nothing but pain in her eyes.
"Chad, why don't you go over there and ask Kay to dance?"
"Dance? Simone she doesn't look like she wants to even talk, let alone dance."
"Please! I know it I'll get her mind off of Miguel for at least a little while."
"Alright, if you think it I'll make her feel better."
"Thank you baby."
Chad walked over to Kay.
"Kay, would you like to dance?"
"I know Simone put you up to this."
"So what if she did. I really want to dance with you, so what do you say?"
"Nice try Chad but not nice enough. I really appreciate what your doing, and thank you. I just really don't want to dance. Go, go dance with Simone."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm sure."
"Alright."
Chad walked back to Simone, and Kay could see Chad and Simone's faces fade into the dancing crowd. She just sat there rehashing everything that Miguel had said to her that after noon.
Mean while.
Caleb was right outside the youth center. He didn't really want to go in because he wasn't sure if he was ready to start a new life. He had just left Port Charles, and he couldn't help but think about what he left behind.
Back inside, Kay was still sitting there thinking about earlier that day. What Miguel said kept echoing over and over again in her head. Tears ran down her cheeks, and she started to cry. She got up and ran out of the party. She had no coat on, but that didn't stop her from running straight out of the front door and into the cold. She was so upset that she ran right into someone. She was sobbing so much, that she couldn't even pick her head up; She just buried it deeper into the stranger's chest. Finally she picked her head up. She saw a man standing in front of her.
"Oh my god, I am so sorry."
"Don't be sorry, something obviously upset you. Was it something that happened inside there?"
"NO, no nothing like that. Thank you though. Again I am so sorry. I was just running and I didn't see you, and once I started crying I just couldn't stop."
"Really it's fine. You must be freezing though."
Just then Chad and Simone came running out of the youth center with Kay's coat in hand. Simone spoke first.
"Kay! There you are. What happened? One minute you were sitting there, and the next you were gone."
Chad handed her the coat, and she put it on.
"I know, I was just thinking about what happened earlier, and I just ran out here without thinking. I'm fine now."
She looked over at the man she ran into.
"Again, I am so sorry I."
"I told you it was okay. Don't make me change my mind."
Chad looked at him, and then spoke.
"Say aren't you the guy from the book café earlier? Caleb was it?"
"That's me. And if my memory serves me, your Chad."
"Yeah."
Simone started to introduce herself.
"Well since you already know Chad, I'm Simone Chad's girlfriend, and this is Kay but I think you two have already met."
"That was some introduction."
"Again I don't know how many times I'm gonna have to apologies before I feel guilt free about running into you like that."
"It's alright! You're making a big deal out of nothing, Kay was it?"
"Yes my name is Kay, and no I'm not making a big deal out of nothing, but I'm sorry if it seems that way."
"Will you stop apologizing? Please, there was no harm done. I'm fine and so are you."
"Alright I'll drop it."
"Good."
"Actually I'm pretty tired."
Kay turned to Simone and Chad.
"Simone, can you take me home?"
"Oh um.. I have to get my keys. Actually my car has been giving me some problems lately, Chad do you think you can take Kay home in your van?"
"You know I would, but I'm djing the party. I can't leave now, or I won't get paid for it. Why don't I give you the keys, and you can take her home?"
"I can't. My car is so little, and your van is way bigger then what I'm used to driving, I don't think I can handle it. Kay, would you mind waiting until the party's over?"
"I guess I don't have much of a choice do I."
Caleb interrupted them.
"If its too much trouble taking her home, I wouldn't mind driving you home Kay."
"Oh no, really thank you so much for the offer, but I couldn't tare you away from the party."
"Really it's fine. I wasn't planning to stay any way. What do you say?"
" Well. if you're sure. All I want to do is go home. It's really nice of you to offer. Thank you. Simone, Chad, I'll see you guys tomorrow."
Caleb showed Kay to his car. Kay was silent on the ride to Tabitha's. When they got there he got out of the car and walked her to the door.
"Thank you again for driving me back here."
"Don't mention it. If you don't mind, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"What had you so upset tonight? What made you run out of there like that and had you in tears?"
"It's a long story."
"I'm a good listener."
"I'm sorry, but I really don't want to talk about right now. It's not your fault, I just had a really hard day, and I just want to sleep."
"That's fine. Maybe I should be the one apologizing now."
Kay smiled.
"I knew there was a smile in there some where."
"I guess so."
"Maybe after you've had a good night's sleep you'll want to talk about what made you this upset."
"Maybe."
"Well like I said, I'm a good listener. Perhaps tomorrow you'd like to get together and, I don't know, talk over some coffee at the book café."
Kay hesitated, and then let out a small smile.
"I'd like that."
"So would I. Can I have your phone number, this way we can set a time."
"I can't"
"Well why not?"
"No that's not what I mean. You see I um... I live with my neighbor. I had some differences with my parent's and I'm living with her now. I just don't want to give you her phone number incase it wasn't okay with her."
"I understand."
"But you can have my cell phone number."
Kay pulled out a pen and piece of paper out of her purse, and scribbled her number on it and gave it to Caleb.
"Here."
"Thank you. I'll call you tomorrow then?"
"Yeah, that would be great."
"Well until tomorrow, good night Kay."
"Good night Caleb."
With that Kay went inside the house, and Caleb walked to his car and drove away.
When Kay got inside, she was surprised to see all the lights were off, and Tabitha was upstairs asleep. She was tired so she went straight upstairs, and went to sleep as well.

"Simone, I'm glad you're here."
