Chapter 10

Kyle smiled lightly as he sat on the sofa with Sean at the Diaz house. They were currently playing video games and simply having fun together, two friends hanging out. Sean bit his lip, considering for a moment as he could tell Kyle was distracted and worried by something.

"Hey, everything okay dude?" He asked concerned.

Kyle started. "Huh?"

Sean sighed. "You seem kinda...down, worried about something, is there…?"

"Oh, that..." Kyle replied, bowing his head. "I just...things have been kinda tough lately...Jenn and I are still struggling to get over the, her kidnapping and that...stuff. Not to mention we just visited our families a few days ago."

Sean was even more worried now. He knew of Kyle and Jenn's plans to visit their families and reveal their relationship.

"Ah, I take it...it didn't go well?" He asked carefully.

Kyle shrugged. "Well, not too bad actually, it's just...Jenn's dad. God he is way too overprotective."

"That bad huh?"

"He actually...blames me for, for Jenn being kidnapped and, and..." Kyle explained, shaking his head.

"Wait what, that's..." Sean burst out. "Urgh...unreal. I didn't realize that stuff was still bothering you guys so much and for him to-"

"Actually, that's the problem." Kyle admitted. "I kinda...feel he's right. I've been blaming myself, if Lauren Williams wasn't so obsessed with me, she wouldn't have been..."
Sean quickly paused their game. "What, dude..."

Kyle turned to him, looking anguished.

It was clear this had been bothering Kyle for some time and Sean shook his head.

"Sean don't you see...If I-" Kyle began.

Sean cut across him. "Kyle, it wasn't your fault, you can't control that woman's actions and what she did. If anyone is to blame it's Lauren Williams. She is responsible for her own actions and not you. You're a victim here, you and Jenn, don't ever feel otherwise, you're not to blame."

"I...I just...it's been hard on us Sean and...you really mean…?" Kyle replied, hesitant.

Sean nodded, smiling. "Dude, the both of you deserve so much better. Jenn's dad had no right to treat you like that and what matters is the two of you are together and find a way to face this. We'll help you as much as we can."

Kyle smiled, a feeling of relief finally sinking into him. "Sean I...thanks man, I just hope Jenn and I can finally pull things together."

Sean nodded, the two of them were about to resume their game when suddenly Sean's phone rang, he quickly checked it.

"Oh um, just a moment, gotta take this." He said.

Kyle smirked and nodded. "Cassidy huh, okay dude."

Sean blushed and rolled his eyes but nodded before going to answer the phone. Smiling to himself, Sean's words helping him finally start to feel better about his troubles, Kyle got up and headed to the kitchen to grab a soda.

After getting his soda he realized he wasn't alone.

"Oh, hey Daniel."

Daniel smiled lightly. "Hi Kyle, huh...where's Sean?"

Kyle replied at once. "Oh um, he-"

Daniel's expression fell. "He's calling that girl again, isn't he?"

"Well, yeah." Kyle replied.

He thought carefully for a moment, he knew Daniel seemed to have issues with Sean dating Cassidy. Daniel sighed and shook his head and Kyle could tell he was troubled; he decided to see if there was something he could to to help.

"Daniel, what's wrong with Sean dating Cassidy, I mean..."

Daniel shook his head. "I just...she's clearly got some sort of trouble about her, why else was she so desperate to get to the shelter. Even if she's not trouble, she may be in trouble."

Kyle bit his lip. "What do you know about her, Daniel?"

"Not much, but nobody is listening to me or giving me a chance to even try and figure things out." Daniel protested. "Then there was that night I caught her and her and Sean in the shower when they, you know."

Kyle nearly choked on his soda at that point. "Wait, what?!"

"I caught them, I mean, this is just, going way to fast and...I don't know." Daniel replied desperately.

Kyle sighed and set his soda down, thinking for a moment.

Finally he spoke up. "Daniel, I think this is all a big misunderstanding, all a mess and God knows what else. But Cassidy is a troubled woman, she's had a tricky past and as for all this secrecy, she just is scared of telling anyone, she trusts Sean enough to tell him and he doesn't want to tell anyone...until she's ready for people to know."

"Well, why didn't he just say that?" Daniel asked sadly.

"I don't know dude." Kyle said. "But I think It'll be best to calm down and hopefully something can be worked out."

Daniel nodded, but Kyle hoped he was right, he couldn't shake a horrible feeling that despite everything, there was more trouble for him and his friends down the line.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
