Gone : Chapter 2 ****************

Miguel walked slowly into kays room. She was setting on her cedar chest looking in the corner.

Miguel: kay are you alright

Kay: You know she needs help

Miguel: she is just trying to help

Kay: by trying to get me to sleep with you?

Miguel: I know but she just wants you to be happy

Kay: i know, I cant do that, not to you and not to my family

Miguel: hey, i never agreed but, nobody would be mad if you said yes alright

Kay: are you trying to get me to say yes

Miguel: No. Of course not. You know your sister is down there telling everyone how proud of you she is and how they should feel the same way.
Kay: Jessica is doing that?

Miguel: yeah she is. Im proud of you too.

Kay: you are?

Miguel: yes. Just last week you told all of us everything you had ever done to break charity and me up. That took alot of courage.

kay: thanks miguel.

Miguel pulled kay into a hug. Then he picked her up.

Miguel: Let me carry you downstairs

Kay: what??

Miguel: we used to do that all the time. I used to carry you downstairs.

Kay: yeah, I remember.

Miguel did just that he carried kay down the stairs. Jessica smiled at the sight. Charity looked confussed. Simone explained that Miguel was trying to cheer kay up by reminding her of old times.

When kay was set on the floor she was laughing.

Kay: thank you miguel. ******************************

Kay went and hugged charity.

Charity: What was that for?

Kay: for trying to make me happy again. I appreciate it but I could never to that to you.

Charity: I know, Can we talk outside?

Kay: yea sure come on.

Kay: what is it? whats wrong?

Charity: its miguel, I dont know how to tell him.

Kay: about??

Charity: me and john

Charity: well, Im falling for him.

Kay pulled Charity into a hug.

Kay: is that why you suggested ......

Charity: yeah, i mean if miguel falls in love with you I wont break his heart.

Kay: Just tell him, You cant keep anything from Miguel.

Charity nodded and walked into the house. When kay went in Charity and miguel were in the kitchen talking. She set gently on the couch and talked with her friends. John was setting on the couch fiddling with his hands.

Since he was setting right next to her she pulled him into a hug.

Kay(whispering): its going to be alright

John: thanks

Then charity and Miguel appeared in the room. Kay and John both looked up. Kay got up to ask how it went.

Miguel motioned for her to stay seated.

Miguel: we have something to say.

Everyone looked up from their conversations.

Charity: me and Miguel have decided that our relationship Just isnt meant to be.

Miguel: so we are seperating on friendly terms. John, treat her right.

JOhn nodded at miguel. A sigh of relief that he wasnt angry. ********************************
