Bradin and Kaitlin walked into her house and headed to her living room.

"Can I lie on your lap?" he asked.

"Sure," she said, "But if I fall asleep, you can go."

"If you fall asleep, I'll move you so that you're lying beside me in my arms and I'm sleeping with you."

She smiled. "What movie?" she asked.

"Let's see what movie is on TV. If there's nothing there, let's just sit here and look through the channels."

She sat down on the couch. He sat down and then laid his head on her lap. She handed him the remote so he could see what was on TV. As he looked through the channels, he felt Kaitlin move her hand through his hair. He took her hand, moved it in front of his mouth and kissed it.

"I thought you were hanging out with your brother and sister yesterday," she said.

"I was. But, they had to leave early to go to their friends' house. I was left alone."

"Aww," she said, "then, why didn't you come banging on my door last night to do something?"

"You needed rest," he said as he moved so he was lying on his back and looking up at her, "I knew that you didn't want to be bothered."

"It wouldn't have mattered," she said.

"I'd feel bad if I disturbed you."

She shook her head and kissed him. Bradin went back to finding a movie to watch. He found 'The Day After Tomorrow' on and decided to watch that. He looked back up at Kaitlin.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"Yeah," he said as he lifted his hand and ran it over her cheek, "When I'm not around you, I feel empty and alone. I don't feel like me at all." He sat up and moved so that he was in her vision of the television. She was looking at him weird. "Promise me that if anyone tries breaking us up or tries talking to us about our relationship in a bad way, we will run away and elope. I don't want to spend any second of any day knowing that I can't and won't be with you."

"I promise. Are you sure that you're okay?" she asked.

"When you called me when I was at the hospital when you were working, you don't know how happy I was that you took that second from the busy day to see how I was doing."

"I love you, Brae. I was scared that you were seriously hurt worse than you are. Not that you're hurt really bad but you know what I mean," she said.

"Now I know why I feel empty inside," he said.

"Why?"

He held the locket that she wore around her neck. "My heart was missing. And, when I'm around you, it's there with me."

"I do have your heart near me all the time," she said, "I don't want to lose it."

"And if you did lose it, I'd have to punish you very, very badly," he said placing his forehead against hers.

"How would you punish me?" she asked.

"Oh you'll find out if it ever happens," he said as he kissed her.

"Can't you tell me?" she asked.

"You didn't tell me how you were going to repay me for not telling me when you were moving back," he said.

"Hmph," she said folding her arms and turning her head away. He began kissing her neck. "You know that that's a weakness of mine," she said moving away.

"I know," he said, "You love having your neck kissed."

"No," she said, "When my neck gets kissed, it tickles."

"And I love seeing you smile and laugh," he said as he kissed her neck again.

She squirmed away and shrieked. "What if someone walks in?"

"We can go to the tree house and continue like we did the first time," he said.

"Won't your stitches rip open?"

He groaned, "I forgot about those," he said, "But, we can still make out."

"Didn't you want to watch a movie?"

"We never watch movies," he said, "You know that we always end up doing something else."

"True," she said.

"So?" he asked running his hand over her thigh.

"You amaze me," she said kissing him.
