A/N: Jesse's POV

Jesse watched as Kira chased Rose around the back yard. Rose was screaming and laughing so hard, that it surprised Jesse that such a tiny person could make so much noise. Though if he were to admit it to himself, he wasn't really watching Rose, no his eyes were glued to Kira. Her small frame shook with laughter as she finally caught Rose. She was wearing nothing more than jean shorts and a t-shirt. How the hell she doesn't sprain her ankle in those black flip flops is beyond me. Jesse laughed as Kira was trying to run around holding Rose. Kira's gonna break herself, she only out weighs Rose by like four pounds. Getting up from the lawn chair Jesse ran and grabbed Rose away from Kira.

"Hey she's mine" Kira said as she went to take her back.

"I don't think so." Jesse smirked, as he evaded Kira's grabs. Rose was laughing hysterically in Jesse's arms. Jesse couldn't help but laugh as Kira tried so hard to get Rose away from him. Though he suspected it was her way of being able to touch him without anyone noticing.

"Kid's dinner!" Russell screamed from the screen door. Jesse put Rose down even though she was begging her dad for five more minutes. Rose turned to Kira and grabbed her hand, and ran toward the house. Jesse watched as Kira giggled. The sweetest noise I have ever heard. I did not just think that, my god I'm a woman. Shaking his head Jesse walked faster to catch up with them.

Inside everyone was seated, Jesse took his place in-between Dave and Russell, and across from Kira. Dinner itself was pretty boring just Russell and Larkin trying to seem interested in the kid's lives. Jesse was actually getting more and more bored as time passed, until Larkin decided to figure out what was going on in Kira's life.

"Kira, are you still dating that kid, I think his name was Derrick?" Larkin asked as she passed Jesse the milk. No she's not with that asshole anymore.

"No. We were never really dating just hanging out, besides he wasn't really my type." Kira replied sneaking a glace at Jesse. Please say I'm not blushing.

"Ah. The bad boy, he is never really anyone's type. But you won't realize this till way later in life, eventually you will see that kids more like…more like" Larkin looked around. "More like Jesse are who you are meant to be with." Larkin told her. Jesse nearly chocked on his food. When he looked up to see Kira reaction, he never would have guessed what he saw. Her faced seemed darker, her eyes held guilt and shame. Jesse knew she's ashamed of us. What the hell? An hour ago she wanted to be with me and now, one comment from Larkin and she feels guilty. Before he could keep going he could hear Kira reply.

"Yea, actually right now I just want to hangout, you know just be a kid." Kira said, though to everyone else she was herself but Jesse could still see it in her eyes. Jesse hurried to finish what was left of his dinner. When he was done he grabbed his plate placed it in the sink then went to his room.

Please, please god just let me be alone. How can she be embarrassed by us, or maybe it's just me. I know we are related and this isn't some Hicksville town so it's not really all that legal, but it is not like were really brother and sister. Maybe she just doesn't want people to know she's dating a huge loser like me. I'm not cool not even freaking close, but why should I change who I am just for the freaks at our school. Besides who does she have to impress right now. We're not even in school.

Jesse laid down on his bed, grabbed his head phones and blasted what ever CD was in there. Hoping that if he could get the music loud enough he wouldn't have to think about this.

Thirty three minutes later, not that Jesse had been starring at his clock to see how long it would take for Kira to come looking for him, he saw his door open. Kira stepped inside so timidly, her head was hanging down. Jesse just starred at her; he didn't even try to take off his head phones. I don't care.

"Jesse" Kira said, but to Jesse she was just moving her lips. Kira gave a sigh and walked over to his bed. She reached over and unplugged his head phones from his CD player.

"I was listening to that" his words came out rather harsh, but Jesse didn't care he was pissed

"Jesse why did you run out of dinner so fast?"

"Why? You're seriously asking me that." Jesse could feel his face flush with his anger. He was trying to control himself not wanting to scream at her. At least not when my parents are home.

"Yes. I don't know what I did do have you be so pissed at me, just tell me and I will fix it." Kira's eyes pleaded with them. Jesse could see they were starting to water. Do not back down. Do not back down. He had to remind himself.

"Kira, all Larkin had to do was mention you dating me and you looked so guilty. Do not even say that you didn't I could see it in your eyes. I couldn't figure out why at first but now I do. You're ashamed of me or of us. Either way I can't be in a relationship with you if you are." Jesse was pleased he was able to get that all out.

"Jesse that's not true, it's just that well when she said that I was reminded of that fact that we are related and..." Jesse interrupted her

"Kira an hour ago you were begging me to say you meant more to me, that you didn't care about that. Or was that just you trying to keep from being bored till Derrick comes running back."

"Jesse!" Kira exclaimed, though not as loud as she would have liked. "Do not bring him up; he has nothing to do with this."

"Yea, because you were all fine and dandy before Larkin brought up his name." Jesse was becoming so angry he couldn't control the words coming out of his mouth.

"Were you just using me as practice? So when school starts back up, you can show the football all the new things you've learned." As soon as he said that Jesse knew he should have just kept his mouth shut. Fuck! I just called her a whore. That's good. Jesse could see Kira eyes water. The rims were beginning to burst.

"Kira…"

"No Jesse, save it. Contrary to popular belief I am not a slut. The only person I have ever even remotely done anything with is you. But hey go figure I'm not good enough for Jesse Varon, the only person in our school who thinks he is better than everyone else. God I don't even know why I am wasting my time on a loser like you, you're not that good at getting me off anyway." Kira threw back at him. Jesse could never have imagined words hurting like that. It was as if someone had just punched him in the stomach. He couldn't breathe, he couldn't think straight. All he wanted was for Kira to feel as bad as he did.

"Kira get out. Just get out. I'm sorry I ever tried to tell you I felt. Should have known a bitch like you would just use it to hurt me." Jesse spat back to her.

"Fuck you Jesse." Kira said nearly tripping on some clothes lying on the floor as she practically ran from the room. Jesse could hear Larkin call after her as she ran out of the house. Larkin opened his door not a minute later.

"What the hell happened" she demanded. "Why did Kira just leave our house looking as if her heart had been smashed?" you asshole how could I have said those things, I know she's not a whore, FUCK!

"Jesse are you listening to me?" Larkin yelled. "What happened?"

"Some asshole broke her heart." Jesse replied not caring what Larkin was talking about just wanting a way to fix this.

"Oh, so she's not over Derrick?"

"Huh? Yea guess not."
