It's been a while since I updated I know and I'm sorry but here you go. I think maybe one more chapter after this but we'll see. I'll be updating my other unfinished fics asap too. Sorry about the wait.

Chapter 6

"Hey mom's old photo albums... Ryan! Come take a look at this!" Seth called out to Ryan who was still sorting through old newspapers. Ryan dragged himself over to his brother who was waving a thick book in front of his face. "What's this?" Ryan asked unenthusiastically. Seth laughed, "This is our source of revenge if The Kirsten ever reaps war on us." He laughed again and pointed to something in the book. Ryan looked down and saw that it was a picture of Sandy and Kirsten in college. Sandy had Kirsten swept up in his arms. Kirsten's platinum blonde hair was streaked with electric pink and he swore he could see the hint of a belly button ring peeking out under her top. Sandy's hair was longer and alot more shaggy than now. He had a cigarette poking out of the corner of his mouth and he wore a silly grin on his face. They were both wearing matching Berkeley sweatshirts except Kirsten's was about six sizes too big for her. Just then Kirsten returned from the bathroom and snuck up on the boys without them noticing. When she saw what they were looking at she laughed loudly, "I haven't seen that thing in years!" Both Seth and Ryan spun around at the sound of her voice and she took the photo album from Seth and started flicking through it. Ryan looked over her shoulder and saw that most of the pictures were of her and Sandy. "Kirsten?" Ryan asked, "What's with the pink hair?" Kirsten smiled embarrassed, "Uh... well I was going through a... rebellious stage. I had my navel pierced too."

"Wow mom thanks for the visual." Seth said while scrunching his face up. Ryan turned back to the photo album and saw that Kirsten stopped on a picture of her and Hailey. They were both smiling sweetly into the camera. "Did you and Hailey get on as kids?" Ryan asked curiously.

"Oh God no! We hated each other! I mean we were eight years apart and had totally different interests. Whereas she loved My Little Pony, I was more interested in going out and partying with my friends. She would always tell on me if I snuck out late or got home at three in the morning." Ryan smiled knowing that's how he would've pictured it.

"Hailey will you just get the hell out of my room!"

"But I WANNA PLAY!"

"Tough! I have homework to do so GET OUT! MOM! DAD! TELL HER TO LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kirsten tried to push her little sister out of her room but Hailey placed her feet on either side of the doorframe and pushed back, "Kiki stop it you're hurting me!"

"What did I say about calling me that? Now GET OUT!" Kirsten managed to get her out into the hall long enough for her to slam and lock the door. She turned up the volume on her Sex Pistols album. She couldn't hear the banging on her door until, "Pretty Vacant," ended and the intro to, "New York," began. She paused her song and swung her door open, "What. Is. It. HAILEY!" she stopped and realised that it was her father staring down at her with a stern expression, "Kirsten." He said solemnly. She knew she was in trouble as he'd used her full name, "Your sister tells me you just pushed her out of your room."

"I told her like a million times to get out."

"That's no way to treat your baby sister Kiki."

"Baby? She's nine years old!"

"You should love each other. Why can't you two just be nice to each other?" Kirsten opened her mouth to answer but Hailey appeared behind her father making silly faces. "Daddy she's making faces at me!" Caleb spun around and found his daughter staring blankly at Kirsten, "She's lying, daddy. I'm just standing here," she lied. When he turned back she resumed pulling faces at her sister. Kirsten began to do the same. Whenever Caleb turned his back she stick her tongue out and cross her eyes. Caleb, oblivious to this charade, continued to rant about how sisters should love each other and treat each other with respect but neither Hailey nor Kirsten were listening. Hailey stamped her foot on the ground, "Daddy she's making faces at me!" Caleb turned around and found Kirsten with her tongue hanging out the side of her mouth and her eyes rolled back in her head. When she noticed her father looking at her she turned to her sister who was laughing in the corner, "YOU LITTLE WITCH! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Kirsten lunged for her sister who covered her face with her hands Kirsten grabbed a handful of hair and dragged Hailey around in a circle. Hailey managed to do the same with Kirsten and they both spun comically round and round. "LET GO HAILEY!"

"YOU FIRST KIKI!"

"DON'T CALL ME KIKI! HOW MANY TIMES... AHH!" Hailey kicked out and her foot connected with Kirsten's shin. Kirsten let go of her hair and wrestled her to the ground. She was sitting on her chest pinching her ear in one hand, "Say you're sorry!" Hailey shook her head and Caleb continued to try to break the girls up. Just then Jimmy came up the stairs and headed straight for Kirsten, "Let her go Kirsten she's only a little girl."

"Not until she apologises." Kirsten demanded but Jimmy managed to pull Kirsten off of her sister but he was having a hard time keeping her at bay. He had his arms wrapped firmly around her waist and she was kicking to get to Hailey who was also being restrained by her father. "Hailey I am so gonna get you for that!" Jimmy pulled Kirsten into her room and locked the door behind him, "What the hell was that?"

"Just her being a little bitch." She answered her face still flushed. Jimmy pulled her toward him and placed a kiss on her forehead, "Well I have something that's gonna make you happy."

"What?" she asked looking up at him.

"Party at Taryn's beach house. Tonight and everybody's going."

"I don't know Jimmy. The last time I went to her party I was grounded for a month."

"She's your best friend Kirsten. It's like best friend law that you have to go."

"Why don't I know about this if I'm her best friend?"

"Because she just decided now hurry up and choose an outfit. Or else we'll be here all night." Jimmy laughed and Kirsten punched him playfully on the arm. He punched her back and they ended up lying on the bed in a fit of laughter.

Kirsten was about to climb out of the window just as she heard a noise coming from Hailey's room. She crept slowly to her room door and peered in. She saw her sitting on the edge of her bed crying softly, "Hail. What's wrong?" Hailey looked up suddenly and tried to wipe away the tears, "Nothing," she said stubbornly.

"Tell me." Kirsten pressed, "Is it school? Friends? Boyfriends?"

"Eww no! I'm just... you hate me!" Hailey said as she broke into tears again.

"What? Of course I don't Hailey I love you."

"But you're always so mean to me."

"You're my sister. It's like the law that I have to be mean to you." Kirsten said smiling and pulling her sister into a hug.

"So you don't hate me?"

"Do you hate me?" Kirsten asked frowning.

"No."

"Well there you go. You're just as mean to me and you don't hate me. Now go dry your eyes, your girlfriends are coming over soon." Hailey smiled at her sister and got up and went into her bathroom. Kirsten got up from the bed and went back into her room. She locked the door behind her and began to climb out the window onto the porch roof. She pulled off her shoes and jumped from the porch roof to the ground. When she landed safely she put her shoes back on and snuck down the dive to where Jimmy was waiting for her, "What took you so long?"

"I had to deal with something. Now go before my parents see."

Kirsten slid her key into the lock carefully and pushed the door open slowly. She took off her shoes so as not to make a noise and she closed and locked the door behind her as quietly as she could. She stumbled slightly but she caught her balance before she fell over. Her head spun and she could barely see straight. Maybe those tequila shots were a bad idea. Her stomach lurched suddenly and she thought she was going to throw up but she managed to hold it down. "For now anyway," she thought. How much vodka did I have? When she reached the stairs they looked never ending. She already had a headache coming on. She took the first step and steadied herself on the banister. She got onto all fours and crawled up the stairs. She decided she felt less sick that way. When she finally reached her room she remembered she had locked the door. Where was the key? She searched through her bag but she couldn't see properly in the dark. Just then she felt someone take the bag from her, "Shhhhh. You're being too loud." It was Hailey. She found the key and unlocked the door. She took Kirsten's hand and guided her to her bed. She pulled off her jacket and took the shoes out of her hand. "Do you need help with your pyjamas?" she whispered in attempt to stay as quiet as possible. Kirsten smiled at he sister, "No. Thanks Hailey."

"It's okay Kiki."

Seth lay sprawled in the middle of the attic floor, "One box left! I've never been more happy," he said exasperated. Kirsten swatted his leg to move I'm out of the way and she lay down next to him, "I am so tired." She yawned. Ryan sat leaning against a beam with his eyes closed, "So just one more box and we're done?"
