A/N: Kira's POV but do not freak out you will figure out what happened with Dave I promise.

Kira had changed into a pair of jeans of a simple dark purple fitted tank top. After
Jesse had left she had been so bored so she decided to give the bon fire a shot. Hopefully she could talk Jesse into going with her. Though it's not like we could act like a couple when we're there since technically we're related and it might cause some people to freak out, but at least we could hang out together. In reality Kira knew that if she went to the bon fire alone every one would be on her for the whole Derek thing, and she really did not want to deal with that tonight. She could not go through another person thinking she was a whore. Grabbing her cell phone and the SUV keys Kira walked out the door not bothering to tell anyone where she was going. Merial was still at work, and she had no idea where her dad was, but at least she wouldn't be hassled about partying. Starting the car and putting it into drive, she began to dial Jesse's number but as she was about to press send her phone beeped in her ear. She looked at the screen, it was Jesse. Good timing, pressing ok to take the call.

"Hey you have the best timing I was seriously just about to call you." She said without bothering saying hello.

"Kira… Dave knows." Jesse voice was so quiet Kira almost could not make out his words.

"What? I can't really hear you I thought you just said Dave knows."

"I did and he does." Kira stopped breathing the world stopped moving. She hit the brakes hard. The car behind her swerved to miss her and passed by giving the finger. Thankfully the streets were not busy this time of day or she would have caused quite a pile up.

"WHAT?" She didn't mean to screech but right now she couldn't control much of what her body was doing.

"I just talked to him, he knows." He said keeping his voice calm. He's trying not to freak me out even more.

"How?"

"Rose told him."

"When?" Kira seemed to only be able to speak out one syllable words.

"Kira where are you right now." Jesse asked avoiding her question.

"Why the fuck does that matter?" Why the hell is he not freaking out?

"Because I'm gonna sneak out meet me at the end of the street and I will tell you everything I'm worried that Dave might be still in the house and we can not risk him hearing me on the phone." He sounded desperate. Scared almost, Kira could hear his voice quiver the slightest bit she knew that they were in so much trouble now.

"Yea okay five minutes." She knew she shouldn't agree to that, that if Dave caught him sneaking out to be with her it would be ten times worse but she would risk it for him.

"Okay…Kira?"

"Yea"

"I love you."

"I love you too." The way he said it scared Kira like it was the last time he would say it. Fuck! How the fuck did it happen. Realizing that she still was stopped in the middle of the street she let off the brake and drove to Jesse's street. She tried not to drive to fast but the drive seemed to go on forever, though she couldn't risk getting pulled over, lord knew how long Jesse would have to be able to explain this. Thank god I'm here…where the hell is he? Of fuck I hope he didn't get caught. Fuck, damn it I knew we should have bribed Rose…wait is that him, oh thank god it is. Kira breath was coming out labored she was trying to control it but she had never felt her heart beat so fast in her life at this point it would be amazing if she didn't pass out right away. Jesse slowly walked up to the car; he opened the door and plopped down in the seat.

"Drive to the park, that way if they come looking for me they would find me so fast." He said after a few moments of silence between the two. Kira said nothing only did as she was told. Right now she could care less that her boyfriend was ordering her around she just wanted desperately to know what happened. They arrived at the park fast. Though to them it felt like a lifetime since nothing but silence was exchanged between the two. Parking Kira turned towards Jesse looking at his face seeing his worry, his brow was furrowed and his eyes were dark and sullen.

"Jesse?" she asked touching his arm trying to bring him back to her.

"Hmm…sorry just thinking. Okay so after we came home we had dinner it was going good great even, she said nothing I said nothing it was fine. Then I started reading and didn't notice that Larkin asked Dave to tuck her in, I should have listened more carefully or volunteered to take her or something. I don't know how long he was in there but after a while he came out and I knew, he knew. He asked me outside…

Conversation between Jesse and Dave

The boys walked out the front door and towards the garage. Jesse felt sick to his stomach he knew by the look that Dave was giving him that he knew and there was no point in lying though Jesse was going to try if only to get him out of some trouble. Dave stopped and leaned against the door; he crossed his arms and stared at Jesse. Jesse stood his ground he didn't know what Rose had told him so he was not going to take his chances blurting out something Rose had not told him, he knew for sure that Dave knew but exactly how much Jesse was not sure. After a few moments of just staring at one another Dave let out a exasperated sigh

"Well?" Dave said.

"Well what Dave you're the one who called me out here am I supposed to read your mind to figure out what it is you want.?" Jesse was hoping to throw him by acting completely oblivious as if maybe Rose just thought she had seen something.

"Don't pretend you don't know what this is about." Dave glared at him.

"I don't have a freaking clue what it is about one minute I'm reading and the next minute were walking me out here and acting all cryptic and mysterious. Is this about the water aliens again?" Jesse prayed that Dave would take the bait and argue about the freaking water aliens and not the fact that Jesse was now dating and fooling around with his stepsister.

"They're not aliens they're…wait stop that Jesse you know god damn well what this is about."

"Then why don't you tell me."

"You're sleeping with your stepsister." Dave voiced raised slightly and Jesse cursed and hoped that his dad could not hear him.

"What?" Jesse responded hoping to sound shocked, he half was since him and Kira were not sleeping together.

"Don't play dumb kid; look we have to talk about this it's a huge deal." Dave said quieter and somewhat softer. Jesse could still feel him glaring at him slightly but at least he stopped shrieking.

"We are NOT sleeping together." Jesse responded knowing the best defense was to deny, deny, deny.

"Yea then why did Rose find you two half dressed in bed together?" Dave said.

"We told her Kira had a bad dream and came into my room looking for comfort, that's all." Okay maybe Dave would believe it was all Jesse could say to himself.

"Yea and she was in your t-shirt and you in your boxers?"

"Yea its hot out and we don't have air conditioning." Jesse couldn't stop the words from coming out of his mouth. He really should learn to stop his sarcasm before it got him in even more trouble.

"Jesse…I need to know what exactly is going on." Dave had concern in his voice and Jesse knew he was more worried about Russell finding out and talking to Jesse. At least with Dave Jesse stood a chance of getting out of trouble.

"We're not sleeping together we're just…hanging out I swear." Jesse looked sheepishly down at the ground.

"Hanging out? Like watching movies together, listening to music, making out?"

"What! No we aren't doing anything I swear."

"Jesse the longer you deny it the longer we will be standing out here and then your dad will come out and then I will have to tell him why I am talking to you." Dave for the first time that Jesse could remember was absolutely serious, for the first time he wasn't trying to be funny. Sighing Jesse knew it was now or never.

"We're…dating." Jesse said as quietly as he could

"Dating. Huh?"

"I know it's wrong I know she's my step sister. I know technically we're related, but not by blood and I know that most people will think that we are disgusting freaks but we couldn't help it I swear. She's beautiful Dave, fricken beautiful. And for some reason she likes me, me the huge loser at school for the first time in my life I was ahead of jerks like Derek. And it's more than that we have fun together, we laugh and talk and I swear we have not done anything huge physically because well there is the whole related issue and we haven't really gotten passed that. And were just having fun. What Rose walked in is not what it seemed. She took one of my shirts the other night to sleep in cause my mom has been lagging on laundry and she didn't sleep well last night cause I said something stupid and so when I was changing she came in wearing my shirt cause she had been trying to nap and we got into a…a fight and we got pretty heated then she started crying and I felt bad so we made up, not like that though, we just apologized, and she didn't want to leave the room because she didn't want to waste the energy to get off the bed so we just laid there for a while and Rose walked in. I told her not to tell anyone but I guess she didn't listen since well you know obviously, but you have to understand why me or Kira never said anything. We knew how everyone would freak out if they found out. And I guess we were right since you dragged me out here to talk." Jesse stopped to take a deep breath he hadn't meant for all that was said to actually be said but he couldn't take it back now. He hopped that Dave would but the whole fighting story and technically there did get heated only they were moaning not screaming.

"Jesse." Dave finally responded after a few moments of taking in all that he had heard.

"You guys have to stop this." Jesse stared at hi, slightly pissed at the suggestion. He gave no response though.

"Jesse you have to understand you guys are related granted I understand because if I was your age and Kira was my stepsister I would be having serious control issues but you can not do this especially right now, not with the hurricane and your mom and Tom, Jesse did you guys even think of Tom. Because I'm pretty damn sure that even though he's your step dad he wouldn't think twice of hurting you over this." Dave looked sympathetic as he told Jesse every reason they shouldn't. Jesse tried to listen and understand but all he heard was someone who didn't understand what was going on and never would.

"Yea, I know all of this and I understand why we shouldn't be together I'm not fucking five Dave. I get it its morally wrong and her dad is the police chief and could have me killed and buried so no one could find me I get all of that. It's fucking hard though. We spend everyday together especially since the hurricane. But it's not like I'm the only one in this relationship I didn't force Kira to like me either. So what if we're attracted to each other as long as it doesn't go to far it shouldn't be that big of a deal." Jesse could feel his face flushing but he was getting pissed that Dave might actually make him stop seeing Kira and it's not like he could argue because Dave really could tell his dad and then he knew he would never see Kira again.

"I know Jesse but your gonna have to stop this, and if you don't stop spending so much time with her after you guys go back to school and things go back to normal what then you still gonna date gonna take her to prom how's that gonna work?" Dave was now glaring at Jesse just daring him to respond to him. Jesse knew this conversation would never end tonight, his only hope was to

"Fine…I'll stop hanging out with her, when I go to mom's I won't be alone with her and I will tell her tomorrow that we have to stop." Jesse didn't wait till Dave responded he just walked back into the house thinking he really needed to call Kira hopefully Dave would leave him alone for the rest of the night.

End of Conversation

"And then I called you. And well you know the rest." Jesse finally finished. Kira sat in the driver's seat in a state of shock. Dave knew. It hurt Kira a little to hear about how much he freaked out on Jesse, she had been hoping that if the time ever came where they were going to tell their parents she had always figured Dave would be the last one to freak out and would have probably been okay, apparently she was wrong. Jesse stared at her face noticing her eyes starting to water a little around the edges but she held it back. Both knew they had to talk about what was going to happen.

"Kira I only told Dave that I would stop seeing you so he would just stop talking to me about it, I don't want to stop this you know that right?" he waited for her head to give a small nod.

"Good because I don't want to give this up, but I know your freaked out right now and I will back for awhile if you me to." He had stopped looking at her and now found his shoes extremely interesting. I can't take this right now, first I have him then I lose him because of Larkin then I have him again and now I'm gonna lose him because of Dave. Fucking hell why the fuck do we even have parents all they do is mess everything up. I don't want to lose him. Kira could feel more tear building up in her eyes and that prickling feeling was back.She took a few calming breaths not trusting herself not to cry.

"Jesse I don't want you to back off but we have to if Dave is on to us. What if he tells your dad or my god what if he tells my dad? Jesse I wouldn't be able to handle them tearing us apart and if we back off on our own I will still be able to see you." Kira sniffled as a few tears fell down her face. Jesse reached over and brushed them away.

"I know but that means we will have to spend at least the next few days completely apart." He tried to offer her a small smile after he spoke but the smile was empty and made Kira feel worse.

"How long?"

"I don't know a week maybe."

"A week Jesse that's not fair." Kira cried out.

"I know but as long as Dave knows that I'm close to you he will always be around or worse tell someone else if he thinks he can't handle it himself." Jesse said as he took his hands that had been cupping her face way from her. I hate this I mean if Dave wasn't such a fuckhead then we wouldn't be sitting in the park worrying about this. Fucking Dave. Kira sniffled again. She wasn't really used to crying so much. They sat there in silence for a few moments before Jesse glanced at her and sighed.

"Kira I have to go before someone notices." She only nodded in response and started the car, they didn't talk but Jesse had taken one of her hands in his own not letting go until the reached his street. Kira turned towards him as he opened the door.

"You can still call me right? Like we don't have to banish each other right? We are technically still dating." It rushed of her mouth before she could stop it.

"Of course we're still dating. And I will call you everyday at least twice and hour." Kira knew he was joking about the last part but it made her feel somewhat better knowing he didn't want this to stop either. She never noticed him look around really fast before he crashed his mouth to hers. His lips were soft and warm against his but he ended the kiss way too soon.

"Sorry, but I don't know if they know I'm gone and I can't risk them finding us like that especially now that we know they won't take it that well." He said as he brushed a thumb over her face, before getting out of the car.

"Bye Jesse." Kira managed to choke back a sob as she said it.

"Bye Kira." Kira waited until he started walking down the street, every couple of steps he would look back to make sure she was still there. Once he was far enough way Kira broke down. The tears that had threatened to fall not a mere five minutes ago were back with a vengeance. She couldn't catch her breath, her body was shaking and all she could do was cover her face with her hands and cry her eyes out. She could handle Dave knowing but she couldn't handle the fact that her had Jesse were going to have to be apart for a while. What if he decides it's not worth it when he sees me again. Kira sat in the car for another ten minutes before she knew that she had to leave. She wasn't going to go to the bon fire now the last thing she wanted was to be around happy people when she felt her heart shattering into a millon tiny pieces.
