DISCLAIMER: I don not own 7th Heaven or anything related to 7th Heaven. All medical information on this story is either half-truth or completely made up. I am not a doctor. Also, if you are a fan of the happy relationships in 7th Heaven, don't read. Thos story contains a "rebel" who doesn't agree with her family and not so nice language and themes are sometimes used. Thank you. Enjoy! PS: this part contains some characters from another story called D4 from PaUlKaRiYaSgUrL9. She (the author) let me use them. Therefore I don't own them or the characters from the Mighty Ducks. Don't worry, they are just minor players, they will have no impact on the story aside from that they are friends. Also, I'm trying out the POV thing maybe on one part because PaUlKaRiAYaSgUrL9 is helping me as Brooke and that way people know what's her part and what's mine. Tell me what you think.

Chapter 5: Thank God It's Friday

The rest of the school week went by as uneventfully as the first day. Kay was granted permission to ride home with Brooke but not until the next week because thanks to creative punishing, she was forced to ride with her sister and Christina Aguilera to and from school.

In theater, Brooke and Kay sat next to each other, rehearsing lines from Les Miserbles. The auditions were today and even though they had spent countless hours in front of the mirror practicing the parts they wanted, both wanted to make sure they knew their lines.

"Okay, next is Kay Kinkirk." The theater teacher, Mrs. Schober said.

Kay slowly got up and proceeded to walk to the stage, giving Brooke as nervous smile as she went. When she took her place in the center, Mrs. Schober gave her a questioning look. "I am auditioning for the role of Eponine as an adult," she said, answering the teacher's unheard question. She inhaled with her eyes closed, digging her mind for the beginning words. The few moments when she forgot what to say seemed like an eternity, but thankfully she remembered quickly. "This is from 'On My Own'". Taking another deep breath, she started.

"And now I'm all alone again,

Nowhere to turn, no one to go to,

Without a home, without a friend,

Without a face to say hello to,

And now the night is near,

Now I can make believe he's here."

Sang a heavenly voice. She pronounced each word perfectly, making each note sound perfect, but after weeks worth of constant singing, why wouldn't it be?

POV: Brooke

Kay is my best friend and I love her. She just did the best Eponine that I have ever heard. After Kay finished Mrs. Schober called me up for my audition.

"Brooke Banks your next," Mrs. Schober said.

"I'm auditioning for the adult part of Cosette and my audition piece is A Heart Full of Love and will be a duet with Jean-Paul Germaine, he will be singing the part of Marius." I told the judges.

MARIUS:
A heart full of love
A heart full of song
I'm doing everything all wrong
Oh God, for shame
I do not even know your name
Dear mademoiselle
Won't you say?
Will you tell?
COSETTE:
A heart full of love
No fear, no regret
MARIUS:
My name is Marius Pontmercy
COSETTE:
And mine's Cosette
MARIUS:
Cosette, I don't know what to say
COSETTE:
Then make no sound
MARIUS:
I am lost
COSETTE:
I am found

"Thank you very much Brooke. That was a wonderful duet." Ms. Birrell the band director said.

Back in her roon, Kay ran that day's events over and over in her mind. After school, she and Brooke waited for Ms. Birrell to post the cast on the bulletin board in the music hall.

FLASHBACK:

"I'm so nervous," Kay said sitting on the floor next Brooke. About 30 other kids at least were cramped into the hallway, not-so-patiently waiting for the list to be posted.

"I know. But you did so good, there is no way that you aren't getting Eponine." Brooke reassured her.

"Thanks. Oh my god, you and Jean-Paul were such a good pair. But then again, who else is better to sing that song than you two." Kay said, referring to the fact that Brooke and Jean-Paul had been dating for quite some time now. They were the cutest couple that Kay had ever seen, so sweet and attentive to one another. She only wished that she could have that with a certain new guy named Andrew...

"She's coming." Someone in the crowd said and with that everyone sitting rose to their feet, including Brooke and Kay. Jean-Paul came up from behind them and took Brooke's hand, smiling a 'good luck' to Kay. Kay returned the smile and brought her fingers of her right hand to her mouth, chewing on the nails slightly. It was a nasty little habit of hers, one that her mother had always tried to deture her from, but she never listened to her parents anyways.

Ms. Birrell made her way through the crowd of restless teenagers and tacted the sheet on the cork board. Then she turned around and made her way back to her office at the end of the narrow hallway. No one moved until the door closed and when it did, they all flooded to it, scrambling over one another in a desperate attempt to reach the magical paper that would tell them if they were good enough.

After a few minutes of pushing and hair pulling, Brooke reached the board and silently read the sheet. When she had, she stepped back slowly, unminding of the other three or four kids trying to push her out of the way and turned to her friend and boyfriend. She took both their hands and walked them silently to the next hall over with a blank expression on her face.

After a few minutes of her standing in shock, Kay blurted, "So? What'd we get?"

"Well," Brooke said, taking a breath. "WE GOT OUR PARTS!" she screamed.

A huge smile erupted on Kay's face as she joined hands with Brooke and started jumping up and down. Then Jean-Paul joined in and the three of them jumped in a circle, screaming their heads off, in the middle of the deserted hallway.

END FLASHBACK

Downstairs, Kay could her her parents bustling about getting dinner ready. In her family, they made a rule that said every night, two people would make dinner together and it would be two different people each time until they ran out of people to do it with. After that happened, it would start over again. It was a whole family unity thing, Kay supposed. Thankfully, she made dinner last night with Jake and they ordered pizza.

She started to drift into sleep with Alia next to her listening to Green Day when Lucy burst through the door. "Sweetheart, dinner's done."

Startled, she sat up and startled Alia, who slid off the bed and onto the floor with a loud THUD. "Oh my god." Kay said, looking at her dog down on the floor with a very annoyed look on her face.

"Kalila! Don't use the Lord's name in vain." Her mother stammered.

"Sorry." She said and the followed her mother down to the dining room.

She could tell even before she walked all the way down the stairs that her parents had made pasta and salad for dinner. As soon as she took her place at the table and they said Grace (well, Kay was actually whispering lyrics from the Green Day song she had just listened to), her father cleared his throat.

"I have something that I would like to say before we start dinner," Kevin said.

Oh, crap, Kay thought putting down the salad bowl that she had been getting letuce from.

"Well, after the arguement that we had on Monday about Kay's walking home from school, I realized something. We haven't talked about the situation with Kay's disease and what comes from that. So, your mother and I set up an appointment with a therapist."

"What?" Jake said.

"Oh my gosh, why do we have to go? It's her problem." Savannah whined.

"Because we are a family," Lucy said calmly. "We need to talk about what it means and how it makes us feel."

"It makes me feel just fine," Kay said.

"Kay!" Kevin stammered, almost losing his cool before Lucy put her hand on his arm, stopping him from yelling at the dinner table. "Kay," he restated. "We need to talk about it. It's been wrong of us to think that we can put it in the closet and never talk about it."

With that, all three children finally did something together. They groaned in one long sound.

"We're going." Kevin reiterated. "Next Thursday."

Oh, no. Kay thought. That's the first day of rehearsal. Either I skip rehearsal or I tell them that I have practice and have them bring the entire family to see the show.

Hey, sorry it took me so long to update. It'll be quicker next time. Please review.
