Ch10

The next day Kay sat on her bed with mountains of tissue surrounding her like a fort. Pogue might have saved her from pneumonia but not from the common cold she sniffled regrettably into the tissues. She remembered this feeling so vividly like it was yesterday. Years ago when she danced in the rain on a regular basis she used to go to her best friends house with chicken soup waiting for her when she got there. She missed that, now she's all alone, her nose red from all tissues, her throat hurt, nothing to watch on TV, and worst of all there was no chicken noodle soup! Nobody even knew she was sick to even get her chicken noodle soup her best friend just knew that the day after it rained to have it ready.

Those days are long gone now maybe I'll have Tyler bring me some soup. She heard from some people (cough, cough) Reid that he broke up with Cindy last night so we'll see what happens from there. Right after those thoughts she heard a knock on her door and Tyler peeked through then came in.

I must be psychic she thought.

"Hey, you feeling any better?"

"How did you even know I was sick?" she asked shocked.

"Pogue told me he caught you standing in the rain yesterday, and then I didn't see you in classes today so I guessed. Now seeing you with all this." He pointed to the tissues. "I'm guessing I'm right."

"What's that?" She looked at the bag in his hand.

"This is for you."

And long behold it was a container of hot chicken noodle soup she noticed with a huge smile.

"Thanks"

She pushed all the tissue in a bin so the bed wouldn't look like such a mess while Tyler sat on a chair.

"What were you doing in the rain anyway?"

"I'll tell you some other time."

After a long pause she blurted out, "You know I think I just thought of that nickname for you. You know what I noticed about you, you're stuck in the middle. You're never going to change from the way you are now. I mean you have a whole lot of obligations put on your shoulders from you parents, and from your girlfriend but to your friends your always going to be the youngest the "baby boy" you are like stuck in some kind of limbo where you don't exactly want the obligations over your shoulders and the futures coming to fast but you don't always want to be seen as a little boy." She explained as she got them both up and slightly pushed him to the door.

"So are you going to tell me?"

"Yeah when I'm good and ready." She said defiantly

She ran to grab another tissue as she felt another sneeze coming on. She succeeds but the sneeze she was feeling wasn't there anymore. She tried to have it come again because she had this thing with unfulfilled sneezes knowing it was going to come later. Tyler sat there watching her trying to bring back her sneeze and couldn't help but laugh. He sat up ready to give her another tissue and just watched her, she looked adorably distraught with her hair in a messy bun on top of her head bouncing up and down and her nose slightly scrunched. Before Kay knew what was going on Tyler grabbed her up and brushed his lips against hers.

"You're going to get sick." she pulled away breathlessly.

"I can take it." he whispered back.

Unknowingly to them Tyler left the door open and a small crowd of jealous girls and impressed boys had formed silently in front it watching.

"You hear that," she asked.

"What?"

"No ring tone,"

"I put my phone on silent." He grins sexily.

She just laughs, grabs his tie, and pulls him down for what Tyler would say was the most sensual kiss he ever had. He looked up and saw her eyes were slightly drowsy.

"One thing first…"

"What?"

"This is an open thing strictly non-exclusive I don't do complicated." She told him.

"Perfect, complicated is the last thing I need."

She looked past is shoulder and laughed. "Second, look behind you."

He turned around and there was the crowd and they started cheering.

"I should close that."

"Yea you do that."

He walked to the door and closed it, turned off the lights, and walked back over to Kay who was already lying on her bed. He lied down with her and put his arm across her back. He looked over her to see that she was already half asleep. "Night Peter Pan." He played with her hair and watched as she tried hard to keep her eyes open. They finally closed and he felt her breath even out. "I don't know what happened to you before, that you're so guarded now but I plan to find out." he whispered kissing her forehead.

And so it began every time one of them would see each other in the hallway they dragged the other into an empty classroom, closet, anything they could find for a very hot make out session.

They hadn't even had sex yet and Kay made sure it stayed that way. She knew her self and she wasn't going to make Tyler just any sex buddy she was going to make him a grade A sex buddy, meaning she would wait for the perfect time before they had sex, he deserved that much.

She was leaving study hall early when she saw Tyler making a beeline towards her.

"Hey," he kissed her. "What's that?" he pointed at her hand.

"What?" she said as she tried to put her hand behind her back, walking backwards towards her classroom.

But he grabbed her hand before she even had a chance. "That"

"Oh that it's just something that… Kyle gave me." she said dismissively.

"Whatever."

"Come on Tyler don't be like that." She takes his chin and turns his face towards her. "It means nothing, he means nothing. You do, why do you think we haven't had sex yet I want to keep you around longer." She smiles widely at her joke.

Tyler tries to give her a stern look but a smirk shows on his face knowing what to say next.

"And sex" he emphasized. "Is exactly why I keep Chloe around."

"Is that right, Pan?" she asks as they entered her class with two minutes to spare

"Yea and in fact I have to get ready to meet her right now." he goes to leave but turns back around. "And by the way I love the nickname but not in public."

"Oh don't worry, its only Pan in public." she states with a smirk.

As he is about to get to the door Kay screams "Hey Peter Pan you dropped your pen." and the class erupts in laughter.

He stops in his tracks with a slight smirk on his face knowing she would do something like that. "Tell Chloe I said hi." she says smugly.

Kay was walking to her dorm when she saw Caleb coming out of Sarah's room. She was going to go the other way but he already saw her so she just tried to walk briskly by him hoping he wouldn't mention the other day.

"Kay" he called but she didn't turn around. "Kay"

"What?" she said exasperated.

"Can we talk?"

"You didn't want to talk to me since I got here, now all because of one stupid class assignment you want to reach out to me" she yelled. "I don't need your pity."

"Good because you weren't going to get it."

"Then what is this?"

"Why weren't you here freshman year?" he asked

"That's what this is about, you not being able to mind your own business"

"Hey you're the one who came here looking for me. So guess what I need answers."

"No"

"You're not getting passed me until I know"

"You want to know about my life fine. My mom's not exactly an ideal parent. She drank …and it would get bad. Sometimes she would just knock out and be in her bedroom when her stupid boyfriend of hers and then other times she would get violent. The day before I packed all my stuff for orientation I got home to find all my stuff smashed on the floor. When I got to the living room she was holding up my acceptance letter. She started screaming and throwing anything she could get her hands on. I don't think she meant to do it because when she drinks she blacks out but she broke a glass bottle and started running towards me she kept pushing me in my face, so I tried to protect my face by turning towards the floor but then she raised the glass bottle in the air and started cutting up my arms and legs. None of the cuts were that deep until she gave me this" Kay pulled up her shirt and showed him the deep scar on her back. I couldn't walk for three months. I could have healed myself but there was just something inside me that just gave up…. I might be more powerful than her but I couldn't use against my mom…she's my mom." Kay paused. "Afterwards she got help and cleaned up but she still in rehab"

"You happy now." she added

"No"

"Hey like I said don't, I'm hear now to reek havoc in your life." she tried to lighten the tension. She turned to walk away but stopped.

"Soon, not now because it would feel phony, I want you to admit that I'm your sister."

He stared at her as she walked away. He must have been in that hallway for ten minutes running her story over and over in his head. He knew she was right. It was time to come to terms with it. His father was never the man he thought he was but Kay wasn't the girl he thought she was either. She was his sister he knew that from the moment he looked into her eyes on the first day. It was time to get over the past. He walked towards her dorm and knocked on the door. She opened the door, her eyes wide.

He watched the twinkle in her eyes and thought of his dad. His dad's eyes shined like that even when his physical appearance faltered. "Hey," he continued "I, Caleb Danvers am your brother."

"I told you not to say it now." She replied a smile slowly growing on her face.

"I figured a ten minute break would make sound 'less phony' as you eloquently put it." He smirked.

"Well at least your admitting that I'm right. I'll give you that."

"Well don't count on it a lot, sis."

Kay closed her eyes, her heart feeling lighter already, and said "Care to repeat that."

"What?" He smiled knowing exactly what she was talking about but tried to prolong it.

She opened her eyes with a knowing look.

"Little sis." He whispered.

"I'm glad the denial has left your system." she stated as she closed the door in his face, hearing him laugh on the other side.

Ah I wish I had a Tyler to bring me chicken soup! Do you like the story so far?
