Summary: This may be out of order in whatever way, but hey, its my story, I get to decide how it goes. ;-) Sorry if it takes a while for me to get it posted, but I've been writing it in whatever time I get between classes and stuff and I'm laptop less so its all scribbled down on paper and I've actually gotta find time to type it all up. But hopefully I'll find enough time somewhere. =) Happy Reading!

Discussions

11:30 that night, Tommy and AnneMarie walked in the door to the house laying and joking about their day, to see Kimberly lounging on the couch, reading.

"Hey! There you guys are! AnneMarie, I expected you home hours ago! It's a school night, you should be in bed." Kimberly said as she set her book down.

"I'm going right now." AnneMarie answered.

"Tommy, where have you been? You never came home last night."

"AnneMarie and I went to Disney Land." he said flatly.

"Oh! You should have told me, I would have gone with you. But why did you go on a school day? Saturday is just a day away."

"Because I'm a horrible influence for children and my sister should be banned from my presence."

"You should have called me."

"I wanted to spend some time with my sister."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I couldn't look at you . . . . ."

"Tommy, I'm going to bed. Thanks for today, it was really fun!" AnneMarie said standing on her tiptoes to give him a hug and kiss.

"You're welcome. I had fun too. We'll do it again sometime."

"I love you Tommy !"

"I love you too AnneMarie. Sweet Dreams Kiddo!" he said hugging her back, and gently kissing the top of her head.

"You too. Good night Kimberly. I love you."

"Good night Sweetie. Make sure you tell David you're home. He's up in his room."

"I will." she said smiling, as she headed for the stairs. "Hey David? You still up?" she asked, as she gently knocked on his door.

"Yeah, come on in."

"I told Kimberly I'd come tell you we're home."

"How was Disney Land?"

"It was Awesome!!! You should come next time!"

"I will. I'm glad you had fun though. But you really should get to bed. You've got school in the morning."

"I know. I just wanted to say goodnight."

"Goodnight AnneMarie. Go get some sleep."

"You too."

"I will in a few minutes. I love you!"

"I love you too!" she said giving him a hug and kiss.

"Sweet Dreams."

"Same to you!" she said smiling, then left the room.

Meanwhile, downstairs . . . . .

"Tommy, I wish I had known where AnneMarie was. I was freaking out when she didn't come home from school, but I figured David had her. Then when he came home without her, he said she was with you, but I had no clue where you were!" Kimberly told him.

"I needed a break." he said, heading for the kitchen as Kimberly got up to follow.

"A break from what?"

"Life."

"Tommy, you're not making sense . . . . ." He didn't answer. "You never came home last night. And now here you are, walking in the door after 11:30 at night, and your excuse is that you needed a break!?!" Kimberly said in an exasperated voice. "Tommy, why won't you talk to me!?!"

"I can't."

"And why not?"

"Because I'm tired of being angry and upset."

"So talk to me!"

"Not tonight! I actually had a really good day with my sister, and I don't want to ruin it by arguing with you."

"Tommy, you're not being fair!"

"Fair? You want to talk about being fair!?!"

"Why won't you talk to me!?!"

"Because! You come home, and spend a few great weeks with me after being gone for four years! And just when I think things are pretty perfect, and I get really comfortable, thinking that I want it to last, you come tell me that you're leaving and moving to Milan, and I don't even get a vote! How do you think I feel Kim!?! Do you think I'm jumping for joy, cause I'm not! Yes, I'm happy for you, and I think that you deserve all the best. But do I want you moving away from me? NO! Especially not to Milan!" he said angerly.

"Tommy, you're not being fair!"

"And neither are you! Which is why I'm going upstairs to go to bed! I love you, but I'm not going to fight with you about this!"

"Tommy, don't you dare walk away from me!" Kimberly said as he turned his back and took a step.

"Why? Are you the only one who's allowed to walk out now?!? Talk about being unfair Kim! I was about to ask you to marry me yesterday, until Trini called and told me we needed to talk, and to not do anything until after you told me what was going on! I was ready to marry you two days ago, if I thought you would run off to Las Vegas with me! And you're calling me unfair!?! I'm sorry, but I'm NOT the one being unfair, nor the one walking out on anyone! All I'm doing, is going to bed to get some sleep, because I'm tired, and I'm sick of fighting with you over this! So yes, I'm going upstairs to go to sleep, and you can come if you want to. But don't you dare yell at me for walking out, because I'm not! That's your job!"

"Are you purposely being a jerk, or are you just getting revenge?" Kimberly asked as she followed him up the stairs."

"I'm just going to bed, but feel free to call it what you want!"

"Tommy, you're not being fair!"

"Life isn't fair Kim!" he said as they walked into his room, Kimberly shutting the door behind her, then turning back to Tommy, as he pulled off his shirt.

"Why are you so mad at me?!?"

"Because you keep throwing this stupid 'fair' thing in my face! What if I had asked you to marry me last night?!? Would things be any different?!?"

"But you didn't!"

"Because I knew you wouldn't stay."

"This is my dream Tommy!"

"And spending my life loving you is my dream! But I guess this time yours comes first. I'm just the Loser being left behind. Again!"

"Don't put this on me!"

"Fine! I won't! Its all my fault! There! Are you happy!?! . . .Now I'm taking my pillow, and I'm going to go sleep in David's room. I'm done fighting over this! Goodnight Kimberly. I hope you sleep good." he said grabbing his pillow off the bed, then placing a quick kiss on her forehead before leaving the room. Tommy slowly walked into AnneMarie's room setting his pillow down on a chair as he moved toward her bed, placing a kiss on her cheek as he pulled the blankets up tightly around her.

"It'll be ok . . ." AnneMarie whispered as Tommy tucked her in.

"I love you AnneMarie. Get some sleep."

"I love you too Tommy." she said as he ruffled her hair, then left the room. "Hey David, do you mind if I crash in here tonight?" Tommy asked as he entered his brother's room.

"Yeah, its your house!" he said as Tommy tossed his pillow onto the bed.

"You still have that sleeping bag in the closet, right"

"Naw, I got bored one day. Its under the bed now."

"Thanks." Tommy said as he dug the sleeping bag out and laid it out on the recliner in the corner.

"She loves you, you know."

"I don't wanna talk about it."

"Sucks to be you, doesn't it?!?"

"David . . . . ." Tommy warned.

"I'm older and its my room! Shut up and listen!"

"But its my house!"

"I'm still older! . . . Anyway, I talked to Kimberly tonight. She loves you, but she doesn't understand why you won't talk to her."

"Because I don't want to be angry with her."

"So talk to her."

"We already had a fight. I can't face her. I'm tired of being angry."

"You love her, don't you?"

"Leave it alone David!"

"I just think you should go to her, tell her how much you love her and give her that kiss she loves so much."

"I can't David."

"I don't see why not."

"Its complicated."

"No its not! Not if you love her!"

"Leave it alone David!"

"Fine! But you know I'm right!"

"I'm going to bed. Goodnight David!"

"Fine, we'll talk in the morning." he said, flipping off the light and going to sleep.
