Bradin and Kaitlin walked up to Bradin's around quarter to six. Bradin opened the door and let Kaitlin in first. She walked in to find a young boy playing with a young girl. Kaitlin looked at Bradin and back at the kids.
"He's my younger brother," Bradin told her.
A lady came out of the kitchen and stopped when she saw the two teenagers standing at the top of the stairs.
"Aunt Ava, this is Kaitlin. She's a friend of mine. Kaitlin, this is my aunt."
"It's nice to meet you, Kaitlin. Would you like to join us for dinner since every one else has a guest?" Ava asked.
"That's why I brought her," Bradin told his aunt.
Kaitlin and Bradin walked further into the house. The young boy looked up at them.
"Hi, Bradin. Martha's staying for dinner," he said.
"That's cool Derrick. So, what are you two up to?" Bradin asked.
"Just playing," Martha said. "Who' that?" she asked pointing to Kaitlin.
"This is my friend Kaitlin," he said looking at Kaitlin, "This is my brother Derrick and his friend, Martha."
Kaitlin smiled. "Dinner's ready," Ava said.
Everyone sat outside at a very long picnic table. Kaitlin looked across the table and saw Nikki sitting there. Nikki smiled at her. She smiled back. They all held hands, prayed, and began dinner. Kaitlin didn't eat much. She mostly sat around and watched everyone get along well. She wished she had that many people care about her. She looked at her plate and began to play with her food with her fork. She felt someone elbow her lightly in the arm. She looked and saw Bradin looking at her with a smile. She half smiled back.
"Are you okay?" he asked quietly.
She nodded and looked back at her plate. As she sat there, she jumped and screeched after being tickled on the sides. She looked at Bradin who was trying to hold in his laughter. Everyone else looked at her with a confused look on their faces. She glared at Bradin as he let out his laughter.
"I hate you," she said.
He pouted and gave her the puppy dog eyes.
"Those are not going to work," she said.
Everyone around the table began to laugh. Bradin stuck out his lower lip and continued with the puppy dog look.
"I have to admit that you are cute like that. Maybe you should keep your face like that."
"Hey!" he said.
"Gonna hurt me?" she asked.
He began to tickle her until she fell off the edge of the bench when she was trying to move away from him.
"Are you okay?" Johnny asked as everyone stood up to make sure she was okay.
"Oh I'm fine. Watch out," Kaitlin said pointing to Bradin.
He got up and ran out onto the beach. Kaitlin got up and chased him. Everyone looked at each other.
"They're perfect for each other," Susannah said.
Kaitlin chased Bradin until she couldn't run anymore. She stopped and sat down in the sand to see how long it would take for him to notice that she wasn't chasing him anymore. It only took about five or so minutes for him to realize that she wasn't behind him. He walked back and found her in the sand.
"Hi," he said sitting down next to her.
She jumped on him and they began to wrestle. Bradin laughed as she tried to get free from his grip once he had her pinned down. She looked so cute as she fought against him but failed.
"Humph," she said. She looked at him to find him smirking at her. "What are you smirking at?" she asked.
"At how cute you look," he said.
"I'm not cute."
"You're right," he said. She nodded in agreement. "You're gorgeous."
She looked up at him not believing what she just heard. Bradin could feel her tense up as he leaned down to kiss her. Just as their lips were about to touch, someone pushed Bradin off of Kaitlin. They both looked to find Tanner and the girls there.
"What is up?" Bradin asked standing up.
Tanner punched Bradin. Kaitlin tried to scramble to her feet but was interrupted when she felt a foot kick her in the stomach. She rolled over so she was kneeling on her knees and held her stomach as she tried to breathe. She wanted to get up and fight but she had so much pain in her stomach that she couldn't move without help. As she knelt there listening to Bradin and Tanner fight, she could feel blood come up her throat. She coughed and blood came out of her mouth.
"Oh my god!" Callie yelled kneeling down next to her.
Bradin and Tanner stopped fighting and looked over to find blood in front of Kaitlin.
"Shit," Tanner said running away with Sarah. Callie stayed and tried to calm Kaitlin down.
"Why aren't you running off?" Bradin asked her.
"I didn't know that they wanted to hurt her this badly. I thought maybe a punch or throw her into the ground. I'm sorry, Bradin. You were right. They both are bitches."
Bradin knelt down beside Kaitlin and rubbed her back. She began to choke and cough up more blood.
Sean and Stacey walked along the beach with their arms around each other's waist. As they walked, they saw Bradin kneeling ext to Kaitlin in the sand. They looked at each other and ran up to them.
"What happened?" Stacey asked.
"She got kicked in the stomach and is coughing up blood," Callie said.
"Why are you here?" Stacey asked.
"Tanner, Sarah and I came and attacked Bradin and Kaitlin. Now, I want to become a friend of Kaitlin's. I am so stupid to realize how much pain we've caused her. I'm really sorry."
Sean squatted down next to Kaitlin and rubbed her back gently. She slowly moved her head to look at him. She looked pale.
"Maybe I should take you home," Sean said. Kaitlin shook her head.
"I can't move," she got out softly.
"Bradin?" the teenagers heard. They looked behind them to find his aunt there. "Is everything okay?" she asked. Bradin shook his head. "Do we need an ambulance?" she asked noticing the puddle of blood.
"No," Kaitlin yelled.
"We should really get you to a hospital," Sean said.
"Shut up!" Kaitlin screamed.
"Kait-"
'NO!" she yelled interrupting Sean.
