A/N- okay people here's the way I a viewing this fic at the moment. I will try to up date but the chappies with what will probably be really short like this one is going to be. But hey I'm updating right?

Last time-

"What the bugger was that all about?" Tala and Riven now stood outside the hall at the top of the hill.

"God Tala didn't you look at them? It wasn't going very well, Kai looked like he was about to have a nervous breakdown and you barging in there didn't help things any." Riven wanted to scream, never in her whole life had one male made her so angry! It was unbelievable!

"Oh." Tala shuffled his shiny black shoes in the dirt so that soft clouds appeared.

"Yeah oh."

Chapter 28

Kai could see know how everything was going to fall into place or should he say fall at his feet. Jess was going to say no to his proposal and then she was going to run away to Italy and Enrique again and this time he wouldn't be able to get her back. He was going to have to let her walk out of his life and never look back.

"Kai I…" Jess looked up to where Kai's gorgeous eyes bore down into her own.

Here it comes, the big N-O he was about to be rejected by the one person he truly loved. It was all over.

"Kai I would love to marry you." A petite pout formed at the corners of her mouth before turning into a smile. Kai blinked several times before what Jess had said finally sank in. She was going to marry him. SHE SAID YES! (A/N come on guys did you really think she would say no? come on this is Kai we're talking about!)

Kai quickly slipped the ring onto Jess's finger before she had the chance to change her mind. Pulling her close he berried his face in her hair breathing in the familiar comforting sent.

Jess pressed a kiss into Kai's neck. "I thought you were going to break up with me." She let out a nervous laugh. "This is your last chance to back out. Marriage is forever you know?" Kai sighed before pulling away to stair into her eyes. "Forever isn't long enough for me. I love you Jess." Without giving her time to reply he stooped down and captured her lips in a kiss that reinforced what he had just declared. Jess let out a soft moan as she leaned into him, this was their first kiss as a betrothed couple and god it was good.

"Do you think we will be missed if we don't go to the dance?" there was a coy smirk playing at the corners of her mouth now.

"Sounds good to me but I think Tala will come looking for you soon so we better go, but I'll hold you to that offer later."

"I hope you aren't marrying me just so you can have sex on demand." Jess retorted as she grabbed his hand and began to pull him towards the hall.

Kai gave her a level look. "Funnily enough that thought never crossed my mind." There was a soft chuckle from beside his. "Yeah I bet."

It had been a long time since Mai had been truly off her face and even though the drug promised a high she was suffering a sever low. What was the point of life? Or the better question was what was the point of her life? When she really got down to thinking about it there wasn't one, so why not end it all right now? It seems like a good idea. It would have to epic though, there is no point in dieing if no one would remember it. Maybe she could write a message to Kai and Tala in her own blood? But then that would be messy.

The block of cocaine sat before her with a mirror, razor and small glass tube.

Maybe if she had more the promised high might finally come through for her?

Just four more lines.

Three… The burn sent a shock wave through her head.

Two… Blood? What the hell? Oh yeah it's all good they're just broken capillaries.

The blood. Placing a finger to her nose Mai collected the blood before writing 'I hate you' up the inside of her left arm. Sure to deliver the dramatic effect she was craving.

One… the blood flowed more freely before nothing… complete blackness.

The body slumped back down onto the mattress.

--------

"What the hell is taking them so long?" Tala had refused to dance with Riven until Kai and Jess showed up.

"Looking for us?" the voice behind him gave him a start. Whipping around he came face to face with Jess and Kai both looking quite happy with life and what it was about to bring them.

"What did you say?" Tala stepped away from Riven and towards his baby sister with a desperate look on his face.

"You knew?" Jess's eyes met his with surprise.

"Yeah I knew now tell me what you answer is. Are you going to marry Kai?" She laughed. Both Riven and Kai had taken a step back from the two.

"You tell me." Jess waved her left hand under Tala's face showing him the ring.

"I'll take that as a yes. I'm very happy for you Jess you deserve this." He pulled her into a tight hug so she couldn't see the disappointment that began to glow in his eyes.

Deciding it was better to give the two of them some time together Kai offered his hand to Riven. "Would you like to dance?" Riven gave Tala one last glance before she took Kai's offered hand. "Sure thing. It will be the first dance I've had all night." Kai just raised an eyebrow before leading her onto the dance floor.

--------

"Tal what's the matter?" Jess grabbed hold of his hand to stop him from walking away from her. Tala turned back to look at this sister. He couldn't explain how but he was disappointed in her, that was something that had never happed before. Never in his entire live had he ever been disappointed with her and he didn't want to be, after all it was her life and he wasn't going to be around forever so she had a right to a life but why should she get hers before he got his? Tala had lived his live for the past few years entirely for her and now he saw that it was reciprocated. It hurt. It hurt a lot!

"Nothing okay? Just go and dance with Kai." Jess gaped at him, Tala was dismissing her. What the hell? He had no right to do that.

"You're going to tell me what is wrong and you are going to do it right now! Besides I wanted to dance with you." Why was he being like this? She had been so happy only a few minutes ago and now here he was ruining it. It just wasn't fair, she deserved to be happy, she had just as much right as the next person so why was he ruining it?

"Jessica." He stopped, he knew that that would get a reaction out of her and he wasn't mistaken.

A gasp emitted from Jess's lips, she was only ever called Jessica when she was in trouble. Was she in trouble? No she hadn't done anything wrong so what was with him?

The reaction that after the gasp he hadn't been expecting, tears began to well in her eyes.

"Fine." How could her own brother do that to her, he was meant to love her wasn't he? Didn't he? If he was going to be like that then she was going to go home or atleast somewhere where he wasn't, before the tears could spill over her lashes and ruin the make-up she had spent over an hour perfecting.

--------

Riven was watching the interaction from the dance floor where she and Kai were dancing. Why was Jess leaving? What had he done? She was shot a watery smile from Jess as she left the hall. Riven felt her stomach sink. Pushing away from Kai who gave her a questioning look that she ignored Riven cross to where Tala stood looking sorry for himself.

"God you are such an idiot! I don't even know why I like you in the first place anymore. Wake up to yourself Tala." Before he had a chance to reply she was already out the door and looking for Jess.

Her figure was outline by the moon, she was marching up the hill to the lookout and it looked as if nothing was going to stop her. Quickly Riven followed, she caught up to her just as she reached the lookout. They selected a seat and sat in silence for a good hour before Jess voiced what was on her mind.

"He hates me."

--------

Okay it's done. In all fairness I did warn you all that it was going to be short. Yes Tala did fuck up once again but I'm starting to think it's part of who he is even though he portrays himself as the cool, calm and collected guy.
