Chapter Three

Tyson's P.O.V.

Kai eventually did come down to eat, but he was finished after all of us. He hung around in the kitchen a while, ignoring everybody. I didn't pay any mind to him or to Max, Kenny, and Ray, who went out of the house somewhere. Instead, I focused my thoughts on other things.

'Man, that meal was good! If I could sigh contentedly in my head, I would just about now…. Oh, there's Hilary! Man… her lips look like they would taste even better than food…. Wait. Better than food? Hm, maybe not better but…equal to. Yeah, equal to. Still…. Okay, Ray told me to act casual. And he mentioned Kai a couple of times, actually. Man, is he sure he's over Kai? Whatever. All right, I'm going over to Hilary….'

Hilary was sitting on the couch, by herself, just waiting for a great guy like me to come and kiss her. Ah, yes, I was her Prince Charming. There was room on the couch for another person, which I was sure she reserved just for me and no one else.

I walked over to her, trying to remain calm. I flopped down next to her. "Hey Hil. What's up?"

She looked at me, and I felt like I was going to melt. "Nothing. Just watching TV."

"I thought you could use some…company." I tried very hard to keep my eyes off of her chest.

"Company? I know I sure wouldn't choose you as someone to hang out with." For some reason, her eyes took on a dreamy, far-off look.

My heart ached a little bit but I ignored it. "Oh? And who would you want to spend time with?"

She was silent for a moment. "Oh…no one in particular." She turned back to whatever show she had been watching, still with a bit of a far away look in her pretty, deep eyes.

'Hmm…there's someone she likes. Maybe that's me…'

I got up and started up to my room, my thoughts of Hilary overpowering my thoughts of food.

On the way to my room, I had to pass the bathroom. I broke into my own thoughts, realizing I had to go. The door was shut so I sat down, leaning on the wall next to the bathroom door.

Everything was quiet, allowing me some peaceful Hilary thinking. I heard the noise of vomiting coming from the bathroom, which snapped me back to reality.

'Kai's the only other one here. Maybe he didn't want to eat because he was sick. Hm, I better check on him. Anyway, the sooner I do that, the sooner I can contemplate Hilary.…'

I stood up and knocked on the door. "Kai? You okay in there?"

No response. I rolled my eyes. 'He probably doesn't want help. Typical…' "Kai? Answer me or I won't leave you alone."

I heard silence before a weak "I'm fine".

"Okay, good." I sat back down against the wall, waiting for Kai to emerge.

Kai's P.O.V.

I eventually left the bathroom and ate some dinner, thoughts flooding my mind. After my slow meal and hanging around the kitchen, I came back to the bathroom. I stared at the clear water of the toilet, wondering if I should make myself throw up or not.

'There's got to be a reason Ray left me. If I look better, maybe he'll come back to me.'

I knelt down in front of the toilet, sticking my finger down my throat, tasting the vomit as it left my body, feeling the tears as they left my eyes.

This went on for a minute or two before I heard a knock on the door, followed by Tyson's voice. "Kai? You okay in there?"

I sat down on the floor, closing my eyes, trying to find my voice so I could make him go away. 'Why isn't Ray here for me? Why Tyson?'

"Kai? Answer me or I won't leave you alone."

I regained my voice. "I'm fine," I managed. 'That sounded so weak…Fuck…' Tears crept down my cheeks as I failed to choke them back.

"Okay, good," Tyson's voice came again. 'Leave me alone, Tyson. I want Ray… I want Tala…'

Eventually, I pulled myself together. I forced back any more tears that wanted to fall. I stood and flushed down the contents of my stomach. I stared at myself in the mirror for a moment.

"I hate you…," I whispered to my reflection. "I hate myself."

Tyson's P.O.V.

Kai came out of the bathroom looking all serious as usual. "You okay?" I asked automatically. Sure, I was worried about Kai, he's my friend after all, but my mind was lost in Hilary and I figured he'd be okay since he's always okay.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Hmmm."

I wandered into the bathroom, not knowing what Kai had been doing, just thinking about Hilary.
