Bobby came stumbling into the house, after getting kicked out of a bar. He tried being quiet, but he didn't succeed. "Hey." A voice came from the living room. He looked towards the direction. "Are you ok?"

"Sure, I am." He replied. "Just got home."

Kennedy started laughing "Here let me help you." She replied putting her drink down and putting his arm around her. She helped him to the couch. He fell bringing her down with him. She tried to quickly get up, but he grabbed her face. "Bobby." She whispered. "I need to get up."

"shhhh." He replied putting his finger to her lip. She quickly shut up. He began smiling at her.

"No, I can't do this." She replied getting up. Before she knew what was going on, he grabbed her shoulder and kissed her. At first she didn't know what to do, so she just laid there until it hit her. She pushed him off and quickly walked away. She hurried upstairs and tried her hardest not to make a scene. She ran straight into Jack as she was focused on the kiss. "Whoa!" he replied catching her

"Jack!" she replied almost in a yell

"Yeah, it's me. You ok?"

"Yeah, you just scared me."

"What's going on?" he asked still holding on to her.

"Nothing, Bobby scared me downstairs." She didn't completely lie

"Oh Bobby's home?"

"Yeah, he's drunk. And I didn't hear him come in and I turned the corner and there he was." She replied with a laugh. Jack smiled at her.

"Well I am going to go see if he needs anything."

"No, wait!" Kennedy yelled "Its 2 in the morning ok. Let's just go to bed. I am really tired and we have a week of school left then we graduate. I just want to spend all the time I can with you."

"Why? Where do you plan on going?" he wrapped his arms around her waist and stared into her eyes.

She shrugged her shoulders. "I'll tell you where I want to go now." She whispered. She began walking with his arms still wrapped around her towards his room. He smiled at her and quickened his pace as they finally got to his room and landed on his bed.

The next morning Kennedy woke up and saw that Jack was still asleep next to her. She smiled and kissed him on the cheek before wrapping the sheet around her body and going to the bathroom. As she walked outside, she came face to face with Bobby. She cleared her throat before smiling slightly. He smiled at her, then quickly walked past her. She sighed before going into the bathroom.

Jack woke up to the sound of shower going and saw that Kennedy wasn't beside him anymore. He got out of the bed and walked to the stairs. He saw Bobby staring at the bathroom door. "What's up with you?" Jack asked

Bobby snapped out of his trance and looked at Jack. He saw that Jack's hair was standing straight up. "Hey there fairy. Sleep good?"

"Stop calling me that." Jack replied walking past him. "When Kennedy's get out of the shower will you call me so I can get in?"

"Yeah sure man."

Jack headed downstairs and went into the kitchen where Evelyn was making breakfast. "Hey ma." Jack sat down at the table

"Good morning sweetheart. Did you sleep good?"

He smiled at her "Yes, ma'am. I just want school to hurry up and be over with so I can graduate and hang out with Kennedy."

She smiled at him "Well just one more week and you will be school free."

"I know."

"Hey cracker jack, showers free." Bobby yelled from the top of the stairs. Jack looked at Evelyn and rolled his eyes.

"Thanks jackass!" Jack yelled

"Jack!" Evelyn scolded.

"Sorry," he got up from the table and headed back upstairs. He walked into his room and saw his wet girlfriend sitting on the bed. "Hey there." He replied looking at her with a smile

"Go get in the shower Romeo." She replied with a little laugh. He laughed at her before going over and kissing her. He pulled away and headed for the shower. When Bobby saw that the door closed to the bathroom, he walked into Jack's room.

"hey." He replied knocking on the door. Kennedy shot around with the towel still wrapped around her.

"Hi." She replied tightening the towel a little bit

"Um….sorry about last night."

"Its ok."

"About that kiss…" he began

"Let's just forget it ok." Kennedy cut him off. He smiled at her before replying

"Of course. I was going to say that." He just stood there for a moment

"Um…I need to get ready." She replied

"Oh yeah. Ok." He shut the door behind him and cursed at himself before going downstairs. Kennedy moved back over to the bed and sat down. All she could think about was Bobby kissing her last night. Was it only because he was drunk or did it actually mean something to him. She rubbed her fingers over her lips. She didn't even hear the door open.

Jack stood at the door and saw Kennedy staring off into space rubbing her lips. He smiled, before tackling her on the bed. She quickly pushed him off thinking it was Bobby.

"Did I hurt you?" he asked quickly backing away.

"No, you just scared me that's all."

"Oh, sorry."

"Its ok."

"What were you thinking about? Hopefully last night." He smirked

She laughed "Definitely." She lied. He leaned down and kissed her. She pulled away for a minute. "But we are going to be late." She moved away from him and laughed before grabbing her clothes.

"You always do that too me." He replied throwing himself on the bed.

"I love watching you squirm."

He leaned up and smiled. She threw him his clothes before putting hers on. As they were leaving Bobby grabbed Kennedy's arm and pulled her off to the side. Jack didn't know what to do, so he kept walking into the kitchen. He saw Bobby talking with his hands, so he knew it was serious.

"I didn't know what I was doing last night. I was drunk as hell and I get really friendly when I am drunk. I saw that you were a girl and it didn't cross my mind that you were my brother's girlfriend. It didn't mean anything ok. So please don't take it like it did."

"Bobby calm down." Kennedy replied. "Its ok. I know that you were drunk and its ok."

"Ok, so how about we just don't tell Jack what happened ok."

"You want me to lie to him?"

"No, I just don't want you to tell him."

Kennedy laughed "Bobby, I don't want him to know as much as you do ok."

Bobby sighed "ok, good. I'll talk to you later then." He leaned in and hugged her.

Jack watched from the kitchen at what was going on. All kinds of stuff was going through his mind, but he quickly shut it out. He went to turn away until he saw Bobby wrap his arms around Kennedy. Jack stood there amazed that Bobby was showing affection towards someone. To his girlfriend. He shook his bed and walked up to his mom. "We are going now. I'll see you later on tonight right?"

"Yeah, I invited Cindy and Daphne over for dinner." Evelyn replied

"Bobby will be happy." Jack smiled. He looked out the kitchen and saw Kennedy on her way in. She smiled at him. He tried to smile back but turned back to Evelyn. "Bye ma." He kissed her on the cheek.

"Bye Ms. Evelyn." Kennedy walked over and gave the old woman a hug. She went to grab Jack's hand, but he walked away. She just shrugged it off and followed him out to the car. She got into the car and quickly grabbed his hand and kissed it. "You ok?" she asked

He just nodded his head and started the car. Kennedy just looked out the window until they arrived at school. Jack didn't help her get out of the car this time, which confused her. She opened the door and grabbed her book bag. "Jack are you alright? Did I do something wrong?" Kennedy asked walking beside him

He looked at her "What was wrong with Bobby this morning?" he asked

"He was just apologizing for last night."

"He seemed really serious."

"Why do you think that?"

"Because we he is serious, he throws his hands around in the air like he was with you. Then he hugged you. He doesn't hug people."

Kennedy laughed "It was nothing."

"Did something happen?"

"When?"

"Last night?"

"No, he just came in drunk, scared me, and then passed out on the couch."

"Ok, I was just making sure. You would tell me right?"

"Of course." She grabbed his hand and kissed it again. "I love you."

"I love you too." He leaned down and kissed her hand before walking into the school.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Two weeks pasted and everything was going good between Jack and Kennedy, until one night a storm came through Detroit leaving them at home. They all decided to rent a movie and sit down as a family to watch it. Jack, Kennedy, and Bobby sat on the couch. Kennedy snuggled up to Jack as the movie started. She always got antsy before a scary movie started. He held onto her and continued to watch the movie. Through screams and jumps from Kennedy, the movie was finally over. She yawned and looked over at Jack. "I am going to go take a shower." He replied. "It looks like it finally slowed down a little so hopefully I wont get electrocuted." He smiled.

"Very funny." Kennedy replied with another yawn. "I'll be down here when you are ready to go to bed." She replied. They had finally graduated from school and spent every waking and sleeping moment together. They had been out in the sun all day, which made her really tired. She looked over at Bobby who was staring at her. She smiled at him. "I am about to pass out." She replied

"Yeah me too." He laid his head back against the couch, making Kennedy do the same thing. Before they knew it, they were out. She didn't know her head had slide onto Bobby's shoulder. Jack made his way downstairs to find his girlfriend asleep on her brother's shoulder. He looked this for a while, not knowing what to do. He just stood there. Bobby's arm slide around her waist and pulled her in closer. She didn't seem to notice anything, but just cuddled up to him and kept on sleeping. Jack didn't know what to do. Before he could say anything, he just found himself freaking out. "What the fuck are you doing?" he yelled. Kennedy shot straight up

"What's wrong?" she asked worried

"I want to know what is going on between you two?"

"Nothing." Kennedy replied

"Really? So you cuddling up to my brother is nothing now."

"I just fell asleep. I didn't know that I was cuddling up to him."

"Bullshit. Something has been going on between you two and I want to know what the hell it is." Jack yelled "You guys are always talking to each other, and hugging. Now you are cuddling on the fucking couch. Did I miss something, or are you involved with the wrong brother." Jack was getting a little out of control.

"Jack, I swear there is nothing going on between us."

"What happened that night that he came home drunk? He didn't scared you did he? Something happened between you guys and you wont tell me."

"Jack, you are being ridiculous."

"Tell me nothing happened."

Kennedy looked at Bobby, she couldn't lie to her own boyfriend. "Did you kiss him?" Jack asked. Kennedy just looked at him. She could feel tears coming to her eyes.

"Yes, but it didn't mean anything." Jack had heard enough and headed for the door. "Jack!" she yelled getting off the couch. She began running towards him. "Jack I swear it meant nothing. He was just drunk and he pulled me down on him then he kissed me." She grabbed his arm and turned him around.

"What did I do?" he asked

"You didn't do anything."

"Then why are you going after my brother?"

"I'm not going after him. Nothing is going on. I swear." She replied tears were streaming down her face. "I love you ok."

"Don't lie." He replied. She stared at him shocked. "My own brother. Who would have known."

"Jack, she's right ok. It didn't mean anything and nothing is going on between us." Bobby replied appearing in the doorway.

"You are a sick bastard. I cant believe you would do that to me and then lie to my face." Jack replied

"Jack I didn't do anything to you ok." Bobby replied " I swear we didn't do this on purpose. You have to believe us."

"I believe what I saw. I see you two together all the time. Why didn't I think of this sooner."

"Jack, I swear on my life that I am not cheating on you with Bobby. Please I am telling the truth."

"Oh like you told the truth about nothing happened between you and him a couple of weeks ago?"

"I just didn't want to hurt your feelings."

"My feelings are more than hurt right now, but that's not the point. Relationships are based on trust, honesty. You ruined that completely. How can I trust you again. And you, what kind of brother are you?"

"I'm sorry man,"

"I highly doubt that. You only think about yourself. You two are perfect for each other. You only think about yourselves." Jack opened the door.

"Jack stop!" Bobby replied grabbing his shoulder. Jack turned around and hit Bobby square in the nose. Kennedy jumped back, wiping her face. Bobby tried to stop him but Jack kept hitting him

"Stop!" Kennedy yelled. Angel and Evelyn came running into the hallway to see her two sons fighting.

"What is going on?" Evelyn asked

"They are fighting." Kennedy cried.

"Jack! Bobby!" Evelyn yelled, but they didn't hear her. Angel grabbed Jack by the shirt and jerked him back.

"You are a lousy brother and a lousy drunk. You're just like your dad." Jack spat. Bobby glared at him and went at him but Angel grabbed him "Leave me alone." He turned to Kennedy "In case you haven't noticed, its over. Hope you and my brother enjoy your lives together." Angel let go of Bobby and ran after Jack as Kennedy slide down the wall and covered her face with her hands. Evelyn rushed over to her and wrapped her arms around her. "Tell me this isn't happening." She sobbed.

"It's going to be ok." Evelyn assured her. Bobby sat down on the stairs and began touching his cut lip. He looked over at Kennedy who was just sobbing.

"Ken you alright?" he asked. Kennedy just looked at him.

"Stay away from me!" she jumped up and ran into the kitchen and out the back door.

Angel caught hold of Jack as he made it to his car. "Hey hey!" Angel replied holding onto his shoulders trying to catch his breath.

"Let me go. I need to get out of here." Jack replied shrugging him off.

"Tell me what happened." Angel replied

"She cheated on me."

"What?"

"With Bobby. I knew something was going on, but I didn't want to believe it. He kissed her and then they were cuddled up on the couch as I took a shower. My own brother man, right under my nose."

"Jack, I don't think Bobby would do that to you. Kennedy loves you man. Something has to be going on, this just doesn't seem right."

"Your right it doesn't seem right. That bastard can rot in hell for all I care. He doesn't know what family is. He is just like his father."

"Jack!" Angel yelled "That is your brother."

"No he's not." Jack spat turning around

"You aren't leaving." Angel replied grabbing him again.

"Why not?" Jack wouldn't turn around this time. "I feel so betrayed and like my heart has been ripped out of my chest. I don't know what to do anymore."

"Just come inside. You don't need to be alone right now. There is so much I know that is going on in your head, that you will do something stupid."

"I cant go back in that house."

"Jack, I know Bobby didn't not mean for any of this happen. He's your brother. He loves you man."

"He doesn't love me. He wouldn't have kissed her."

Angel didn't know what to say. He knew that Bobby wouldn't just kiss Kennedy just to do it.

Back in the house Bobby looked pissed. Kennedy had blown up at him, Jack hates him. He didn't know what to do. So he did what he always did, He ran. He grabbed his things and stormed out the door with Evelyn right behind him. He stormed past Angel and Jack and slammed his car door and drove away without looking back. Jack didn't know what to do. He didn't want him to leave.

"What's going on?" Angel asked

"He's leaving." Evelyn replied with tears in her eyes.

"Ma, he'll be back." Angel assured her. She smiled and nodded her head before looking at Jack.

"Sweetheart, you ok?"

"No, I don't know what to do." Jack replied

"Kennedy loves you ok. Know that."

"I don't know what to know anymore. I cant trust either of them."

"Trust your heart baby. Kennedy is bawling upstairs, go talk to her."

Jack looked at his mother before she walked back into the house. "You know, ma's right. You need to get to the bottom of this. Go talk to her before you make any decisions." Angel replied.

Jack rolled his eyes, but he knew his brother was right. He waited outside a little longer before heading inside. He looked up the stairs and saw his door was closed. He slowly walked up there and without knocking opened the door and saw Kennedy huddled in the corner of his bed sobbing. She looked up and saw him. "Jack!" she yelled jumping up. "I thought you hated me."

"I could never hate you." He whispered

"I am so sorry, I didn't think this would all happen."

"Why? Why did you do this?"

"It wasn't suppose to be this way. He was drunk and I went to take him to the couch and he fell pulling me with him. I tried to get up but he held onto me. I pulled away but he pulled me back and before I knew it he kissed me. Please believe me when I say that I jumped up and ran upstairs. When he was talking to me the day after he was telling me how sorry he was and then he hugged me. Tonight I just fell asleep. I thought it was you I was cuddling with."

Jack just stared at her. He wanted to believe her, but he just couldn't. "How do you expect me to believe that?"

"Because I am your girlfriend and I would never hurt you that way."

"You did hurt me though."

"I know that and I am so sorry." She sobbed. "Please forgive me."

"How can we get past this?"

"I don't know, but I am willing to try. I love you Jack."

"I love you too." He whispered. "But maybe it would be better if we just broke up for a while."

"What?" she asked in shock "Why?"

"Because we just have been together too long and I think we are starting to get on each others nerves. I was going to tell you, but this happened. My band finally got signed. They want us to move to LA and record an album and do all this stuff. I didn't know what to do, but I think I might do it."

"Please say that you are kidding." She replied

"No, I'm not. I am going to be leaving this weekend."

"Jack, why are you doing this?" she sobbed.

"I love you. Know that ok."

"You love me?" she replied trying to hold it together

"I do, and I think this is the right thing to do. You will always mean so much to me."

"Please don't do this." She bawled. He walked over to her and kissed her on the head.

"Don't cry." He whispered wiping the tears from her face. She turned away from him. "Goodbye." She didn't move until she heard the door shut. She dropped to the ground and bawled into her knees. Jack waited outside to see if she came after him, but she didn't. He laid his head back and let it hit the door before moving to the stairs. He just lost his best friend and his brother. Leaving was the right thing to do and he knew it. He just hoped everything was ok with Bobby.

Bobby stepped harder on the gas. How could he be so stupid. He kissed his brothers girlfriend, He knew he was drunk when he did it, but he still remembered it which made it worse. He slammed his hand on the steering wheel. He had to leave. He knew he always did that when something wasn't right. He ran. He always ran from his problems. He just lost one of his best friends. He knew Jack hated him more than anything right then and Bobby didn't blame him. He should have just stayed away from Kennedy and not mentioned anything about the kiss and just act like he didn't remember. He kept seeing Jack's face in his mind as he kept driving. He knew when he came back that everything would be different. He didn't know how different everything would be when he returned.
