Ch 2 Tempted

After his fight with Brenda Evan had ended up driving around before he pulled up outside of Kelly's apartment totally unaware of the hour. Evan gets out of his car and goes up to the door and knocks. While inside Kelly is awaked by a knock on her door at first she thinks that it's just the same dream that she has been having for the last few nights.

For the last few night Kelly has been having passionate dreams of her and Evan making love after he had showed up at her apartment after he shown up at her apartment unexpectedly. As she tries to go back to sleep the knocking continues Kelly looks at the clock and sees that it's almost 1am in the morning after realizing that the knocking is not going to stop Kelly gets up and put on her bathrobe and goes to answer the wondering who could be knocking on her door at this time of night. Kelly goes and opens the door and she is shocked to find Evan standing there just like in her dream.

Meanwhile in his hotel room Dylan is unable to get any sleep because he can't escape the memories of the night that he and Brenda lost their son it shouldn't have happened.

A few nights before their son had been stillborn they had been out for dinner when they had left the restaurant to go it had been dark and it was pouring down rain. They had been heading home when they were involved in a car accident the car that had hit them had come out of nowhere the driver didn't have their lights on and had run a red light the driver had been drunk. Dylan can't stop thinking that he should have seen the car coming and been able to avoid the accident and thinks that if the accident wouldn't have happened and that their son would still be alive.

At first after the accident had happened everything appeared to be alright Dylan had escaped injury and except for a few bruises Brenda and the baby seemed to be alright and after Brenda had been examined by a doctor they had sent her home tell them that Brenda and the baby were both fine after the accident. But then a few days lather Brenda had unexpectedly starting having contractions and then the baby had been stillborn.

After Brenda had been released from the hospital after their son's death Brenda had thrown herself into her work taking one acting job after the other spending more and more time away from home. When she was home which wasn't very often Dylan had wanted to talk to Brenda about what had happened but he couldn't do it. He didn't want to add to Brenda's pain by dumping his guilt on Brenda or that's the way that he had seen it at the time. Instead of talking to Brenda he had stared drinking again to block out the memories of the accident the he believes that he should have been able to prevent and while he still hasn't been able to stop blaming himself for the accident he has began to deal with the lost. Dylan has been attending a support group for parents who lost a child.

Back at Kelly's apartment Kelly has just let Evan in and she wants to know why he is there so late. Evan tells Kelly that he wants to talk to her about Brenda. He tells her that lately all he seems to do is fight. Evan has sensed that there is something going on between Dylan and Brenda and he wants to know if Kelly knows what it is. He tells he that every time he try's to talk to Brenda about it she tells him it nothing and becomes distance. But he can't shake the feeling that there is some sort of connection between Dylan and Brenda that every body seems to know about but him.

Evan asks Kelly if she has any idea what is going on. Kelly knows just how Evan feels while she may not know the reason why Brenda is being so aloof she dose know what it feels like to be in Evan's position because she is in exactly the same position. You think that she should be use to it by now after all this isn't the first time that she has felt like Dylan and Brenda's relationship isn't over like Dylan has claimed in the past or now? Kelly's not sure she should be tell Evan about Dylan and Brenda past relationship but it is obvious that Evan doesn't know about Brenda past with Dylan. As far as he knows Evan thinks that Brenda and Dylan are just old friends.

When Evan asks Kelly if Brenda was ever involved with Dylan she can't deny it. Kelly is surprised that Brenda has never told Evan about her past in California. Evan tells her that Brenda has never mentioned anything about her past at all until she found out that they were moving to California than all she had told Evan when she found out that they were moving was that she had went to High School in Beverly Hills. At the time she had not known that was were they would wind up when they moved to California.

Ever since he has met Brenda she has never talk about her past and when they had moved to California Brenda has been even more reluctant to talk about her past even more so when he asks her about her relationship with Dylan. Anytime he mentions Dylan Brenda becomes withdrawn and refuse to talk about her

relationship with Dylan all she will tell him is that he is an old friend but that not the impression that he has gotten every time they have been around each other. Evan has notice how Dylan looks at Brenda when he thinks that no one else is looking.

Kelly tells Evan that she has also noticed that Dylan has been looking at Brenda like a love sick puppy even if she is engaged to someone else. Kelly had tried telling herself that she was just imaging things but she has seen that look several times before. Even though she should doesn't think that it is her place she decides that Evan needs to know what he is up against. Kelly tells Evan that Dylan is Brenda first love. She knows what's it is like to love somebody who is not completely yours although that person is with you at the moment. Kelly also tells him that no matter what happens between them Dylan and Brenda will always share some sort of strong connection. And she can't help but feel that what ever happened between them in London hadn't happened then they would still be together.

When Evan asks Kelly if she know why Brenda and Dylan broke up. Kelly admits that she doesn't know what happened between them in London but that back in high school she was a big part of the reason that they had broken up besides the fact that Brenda's father didn't like Dylan dating his daughter. Kelly tells him that the summer before their senior year of high school Brenda's parents had sent her to Paris for the summer to get her away form Dylan because her father felt that thing were becoming to serious between them. While Brenda was in Paris Kelly tells Evan that she went after Dylan because she had fallen in love with him.

Meanwhile at Brenda's apartment after Donna had left Brenda had finally fallen asleep only to be awakened by the same dream she has had several times since her baby had been stillborn. Dylan and Brenda had just returned home from the hospital with their new baby. They both finally been happy and it seem like after everything they had been though they finally had everything they both ever wanted. After Brenda had feed and put the baby to bed. Dylan and Brenda had went to bed themselves and getting some sleep before being awaken by the baby crying. Brenda had woken up at hearing a baby crying and had gotten up and went into the nursery and went over to the crib and bent over to pick up the crying then reality hit as her hand went to her flat stomach and Brenda realized that there is no baby that she had lost him.

The night she had lost her baby she had also lost her dream of having the family she has always wanted. She had thrown herself in to acting to escape pain and memories of her loss. She had thought that if she didn't think about it or talk about then she would just be able to able to go on with her life.

But that didn't happen when she had returned from one of her acting role she had found that Dylan had left her. Before she had left Dylan had wanted Brenda to stay and face their loss instead of always running away. Dylan had needed and waited to talk to Brenda about what had happened but when Brenda had told that she was leaving on tour once again they had wound up get into a huge fight. Dylan had told Brenda that he need to talk to her and wanted her to stay home for awhile. Brenda had refused to cancel her tour Brenda when seen that Dylan had been drinking again and had told Dylan that they would talk when she returned if he stayed sober long enough. As Brenda headed out the door Dylan had yell after her saying that he wouldn't be drinking again if she would stopping shutting him out and running away all the time.

At the time Brenda had not thought that she was running away from anything but that had been exactly what she had been doing. She had not realized it at the time but she could not deal with the pain or emptiness that she was feeling at the time so she had went in to deep denial and her feelings. Throwing herself into her work was the only way she knew how to cope with her loss at the time she just never thought that after losing her child that she would also lose Dylan. And now three and a half years later Brenda is coming realize that what Dylan had said back then had been the truth and she had been running away. But what good does that do now that things are over between her and Dylan. Dylan is with Kelly and Brenda loves Evan and is engaged to him. So why is it that she isn't able to set a wedding date and why is it that every time Evan brings up the subject of starting a family it is not Evan she pictures herself having a family with but Dylan.

Noticing what time it is getting to be Brenda beings to wonder where Evan is and why he isn't home yet.

6:30 am next morning at Kelly's apartment Kelly wakes up to the sound of the shower running as Kelly recalls the events of the night before after Kelly had told Evan about how she always felt like she was competing with Brenda for Dylan she had been completely caught off guard when all of a sudden Evan had starting kissing her. Kelly knows that she shouldn't have let it happen but she didn't have the strength or will power to resist she had seen how Evan had been looking at her and when he had kissed her she didn't want it to stop and it hadn't with all thoughts of both Dylan and Brenda out of their mind Evan and Kelly had wound up in Kelly's bed where they had made love until early this morning.

Kelly's thoughts are interrupted when Evan comes out of the bathroom and tells Kelly that he has to go. Although Kelly doesn't want him to go she knows he has too. Neither of them have any regents about what happen between them and neither one of them plan on telling Brenda what happened. As Evan is leaving Kelly's apartment a car pulls up and as Dylan gets out of his car he sees Evan getting into his car and drive off. As Dylan pull up to Kelly apartment and he seen Evan leave as he wonder what Evan is doing leaving Kelly's apartment at this time of the morning.
