"Hey Gordie, Kally," Chris said, once he finally caught up to them. "Here,
need some help?" He took a bag each from Gordie and Kally.
"Hey Chris," Gordie said. Kally smiled at him. "Thanks."
"No problem," Chris replied as all three of them headed to the LaChance household. "So, what are you two up to?"
Gordie shrugged. "Nothing really..My mom made Kally and me go shopping 'cause we were fighting." Kally playfully nudged his shoulder.
"No, no, YOU were pissing me off!" They both laughed softly. "Anyways, I need to go over Lauren's later, okay Gordie, so if Aunt Mary asks where I am, please tell her I'm out."
Gordie glanced at Kally as they entered the house and headed to the kitchen. "Why can't you just tell her?"
Kally shrugged. "I don't think your mom likes Lauren..come to think of it, no one seems to." An uncomfortable silence fell in the room as they began unpacking the bags.
"I know that feeling," Chris muttered, placing a can of tomatoes in the cabinet. Just then a loud crack of thunder and a flash of lightening made Kally jump and drop a loaf of bread on the floor. Rain began pouring down.
"Haha, you're afraid of storms!" Gordie teased. Kally glared at him.
"Am not."
"Yes you are!" Chris laughed. "You like jumped a foot in the air. It's okay..it's pretty common."
Kally could feel herself blushing. "Well now I can't go over Lauren's..I can't walk in this rain..Chris, can't you give me a ride?" Kally asked smiling innocently and batting her eyelashes jokingly.
Gordie and Chris laughed. "I would..except my dad took my truck away from me for a month 'cause I forgot to make my bed. Sorry, Kal."
Kally pouted, then ran to call Lauren as Gordie and Chris sat down at the table playing cards.
"Do you two do anything but play cards?" Kally asked as she dialed Lauren's number.
"Nope," Gordie said, shuffling the deck.
"Hello?" Lauren's voice said from the other end.
"Hey, Lauren, it's me, Kally. Listen, I can't come over in this rain. My aunt won't be back for another couple hours, and my uncle's still away on business."
Lauren sighed into the phone. "Can't you get a ride over here from Chris? He is at your house, isn't he?"
Kally rolled her eyes. "I wish I could, but his truck is taken away from him for being stupid."
"HEY!" Chris called from the table. Kally laughed.
"Anyways," she said. "Why don't you come over here?"
"Alright, I just have to put Raven to bed then I'll have Ace drive me over."
Kally squealed like a little girl for the second time that day. "Okay, see you in a little bit." She hung up the phone then went and sat with Gordie and Chris.
"Deal me in!" She said happily. Chris just shook his head grinning as Gordie handed her the hand she was dealt.
************************************************************************
"Lauren! There's nothing to do!" Kally screeched as she raked through her closet later that afternoon. "All my board games are missing, I swear, I put them right here!"
Lauren laughed as Kally hit her head on the closet shelf. "Well, fine, let's not play any games..let's talk."
Kally sighed, then trudged over to her bed and laid down. Lauren was laying on her floor playing with her fingernails.
"I miss my family," Kally finally whispered.
Lauren looked up. Kally never once spoke of her family back in California. It was strange, it was like even though they were alive, they were dead to Kally..she only talked to her mom a couple times ever couple weeks, she was always busy.
"Tell me about your family, Kally," Lauren said. "I want to know about them."
Kally sighed. "Okay. Well, my mother..she's a wonderful person. She has thick black hair like mine, only hers has light brown streaks through it. She's a nurse. And my dad, well, he's so funny. He's really Italian looking, you know, tall, dark, handsome. I get my mom's genes. I have a little sister, you know, two little sisters. Rebecca and Christina. Rebecca's only a few years younger than me, fourteen. Christina's twelve. I love them so much and miss them so much..it's like, why did I have to leave?"
A single tear glazed Kally's face, and she swallowed. "I miss them so much. When Jake's caught, then I'll be free to go back home to them. You know, Jake's the guy who..yeah. Jesus, I miss my family so much." Now tears were freely flowing down Kally's face, and her shoulders were shaking while she was crying. Lauren sat up and took Kally in her arms. Kally buried her face in her shoulder, crying like a little child who scrapped their knee and was hugging their mom.
"Kally, it's going to be okay," Lauren soothed, stroking Kally's hair. "Don't worry. He'll be caught, Jake will be caught, and you'll get to see your family again. Kally, it's going to be okay."
"I know, I just..I hate my life!" Kally sobbed on Lauren's shoulder. Just then the door to Kally's room opened and Gordie and Chris appeared. When they saw Kally crying, their eyes got wide and they looked concerned. Lauren and Kally looked up. Kally stopped crying and wiped her eyes quickly, looking away.
"Oh my God, Kally are you okay?" Gordie knelt down in front of Lauren and Kally.
Kally needed, wiping her mouth.
"She's gonna be okay," Lauren whispered. "Come on Gordie, I'll tell you about it downstairs."
Gordie nodded and left Chris and Kally together, Chris looking quite frightened, not sure how to comfort her.
*********************************************************************
**DOWNSTAIRS**
"..So you see, she misses her family, well, your family too, a lot...I mean, wouldn't you?" Lauren finished as she sipped her pop.
Gordie watched her uncertainly. He never really knew Lauren, nor talked to her. How come he never noticed before how her long, spicy, red hair glistened when she moved her head. And how did she manage to keep her skin so flawless? Gordie couldn't tear his eyes away from her piercing blue eyes. He let his brown hues travel down her curvy body, and he grinned to himself. He liked girls that were real; not stick figures or petite girls. Gordie shook his head..he was just lonely because he broke up with Mila not even a week ago. He didn't want to use Lauren, she was hurt plenty times in the past.
Lauren cleared her throat. "As I was saying.." Gordie hadn't been listening, he was too busy watching her. "Maybe Kally's family should come down her for a little..you know, to visit?"
"Yeah, that would be..great," Gordie muttered absentmindedly. "Ahem, anyways..you know, you're cool, Lauren. We should hang more."
Lauren smiled slightly. "Sure, Gordie. You're..cool too."
***********************************************************************
**UPSTAIRS**
"Are you okay, Kally?" Chris asked, approaching Kally. She looked so innocent, and vulnerable. Her blue hues red and puffy, pale skin flushed, her black hair tied loosely back with wisps framing her round face..she never looked more beautiful.
"Yeah, I'm just having a 'moment' I guess," Kally laughed nervously, wiping her eyes. "I just miss my family..I know that's so stupid.." Kally trailed off looking out her window.
"No it's not," Chris muttered, sitting down in front of Kally. "At least you have a decent family." He laughed softly. "My family sucks ass."
Kally grinned, and a strand of her hair fell into her eyes. Without realizing what he was doing, Chris brushed the piece back, letting his fingers linger on her soft face. Kally got butterflies in her stomach. It was the perfect time to tell Chris how she felt..
"Chris, listen I have to tell you something."
"Hm?"
"I know I've been such a bitch to you lately, to everyone really..but I was just so hurt before, I know it's stupid..but you really didn't deserve the shit I gave you..you're a really cool guy Chris, and a great friend." Kally smiled despite herself, ruining the mood. "I'm sorry, that was totally lame."
Chris laughed. "Nah, it's cool. Listen, Kally you were hurt, I know..but I'll listen if you ever need to talk." Chris smiled. "I'm sorry, that was totally lame."
Kally and Chris laughed together. "No, it's cool."
Chris had a sudden strange urge, and before he knew it, he was leaning in towards Kally's face. He found himself kissing her soft lips, and she tasted sweetly of lilacs..though he never tasted them before. He wrapped his arms around her, Kally's arms curling around his neck. He let his tongue explore her mouth, completely oblivious to the world around them. After what seemed liked forever, they broke apart for lack of oxygen.
Chris and Kally stared at each other breathless. Kally felt guilty.
"I'm sorry Chris, I like you but you don't like me, I'm sorry you had to kiss me." She felt tears in her eyes but blinked them back.
"No, it's . . Kally I don't know what I feel but right now-I do like you Kally, it's just..we should..you know..start from point A." He laughed. "That was so lame. I mean..hey, you wanna go to the dance with me on Friday?" He grinned.
"Yeah, that'd be nice," Kally said smiling. Chris couldn't help himself, he leaned in and kissed her again, this time pulling her closer to him, pressing his lips hard against her mouth, exploring every inch of her mouth with his tongue. Kally wrapped her arms around his neck, and Chris laid her down on the floor, him on top of her. He smiled into their kiss, broke away for a second, then returned to her. He never felt such bliss in his life..*
*******end of chapter 8...sorry about the previous chapter I screwed up .. .. heehehe sorry. Anyways, don't worry they don't get too far..they dont ya know...* lol haha they just..well ya know..anyways * REVIEW!!* lol !
