Months have passed since Kali left for tour. Lucas and Bradin hung out a lot and Lucas noticed Bradin wasn't himself anymore. He knew that Kali leaving has changed him. He barely spoke. He lit whenever Kali's name was mentioned or appeared anywhere. Even though Kali wasn't the main person for her tour, she was still talked about more than the other back up singers.
It's been six months since she left. She was finally coming home for one week to take a break from singing. The following week, she would leave and start recording.
Bradin sat on the beach staring out at the water thinking of Kali. As he sat there, he began to go off into his own world.
"Bradin?" he heard bringing him out of his thoughts. He peered behind him and saw Kali. He struggled to get up and held her tightly. He felt her pull away. He looked at her. "Can we talk where no one can bother us?" she asked.
They sat in a car, Bradin being the driver, and were on their way to a beach where no one really went. They both knew that they could talk privately there and it wasn't that far from where they lived. They arrived at the beach and got out of the car.
"What did you want to talk about?" he asked as they leaned on the hood of his car.
"Were you really heartbroken these past six months?" she asked making him look at her.
"Without you I was," he told her, "Kali, when you left, I thougth that it was it. You were leaving this place and you weren't going to come back. I never even found out your true feelings for me straight from you."
"Did you date any girls within these months?"
"One. It didn't work out because I was madly in love with you. I still am."
"Did Lucas ever tell you what I told him to tell you?"
"Like what?"
"That...I'm sorry I always ran away from you. I'm sorry I hurt you the several ways I did. And, I ran away because I was trying to hide my feelings towards you."
Bradin smiled. She looked over at him and kissed him. He felt her pull away and opened his eyes. "Why'd you stop?" he asked quietly.
He leaned back in and kissed her. This kiss was full of passion and love shared equally by each teenager. At that moment, Kali finally realized that her feelings towards him were true. She could feel tears form in her eyes as these feelings came to her.
"I love you," he heard her whisper.
He stopped, pulled away, and looked at her. He smiled and wiped away tears that escaped her eyes. "I love you, too, beautiful."
"I'm still going to do tours though," she told him.
"Call me when you can. I'll be waiting to hear your voice and looking forward to the next time I'll be holding you in my arms and kissing you and telling you that you're my everything."
