I'm so sorry readers! I'm an awful person, not updating for four months! But one of my new years resolutions is to write more often, so here it is! And also I own nothing!

Karleigh's POV

I open my eyes slowly adjusting the darkness of the room. I had fallen asleep after running away from Reid. I stood up and straightened out my outfit, and tip-toed over my door, before cracking it open a hair to take a peek. All the lights were on and voices echoed up the stairs. I couldn't quite make them out, but they didn't sound like my parents and I couldn't imagine that the boys would all still be here this late.

Pulling open the door, I step out towards the stairs and try to hear more of the conversation happening in the foyer below. I was definitely the boys. Or rather three of them, it seems that Reid was either not talking or not there.

I creep down the stairs as quietly as possible to avoid all attention. I just wanted to get outside with out getting noticed and try to escape the house for some alone time.

Reid's POV

I didn't think they would notice me step out for a bit, while they talked about her. I couldn't handle hearing about it any more, I sat on the Parry estates pond in the back of the property. This was where I asked Karleigh to be my girlfriend, my first and only girlfriend.

I grabbed a rock to skip across the pond, when I heard a rustling bush behind me. I turned around quickly, the power flaring up inside me, only to come face to face with her. Karleigh. My eyes changed back with a blink.

"Karleigh..." Both of us stood frozen.

Karleigh's POV

Reid. I was not expecting him to be out here. This was suppose to be my sanctuary, away from everyone else. I took a step back, not sure what else to do other than run.

"Karleigh wait." With that I booked it back in the other direction. As fast as my legs would carry me. I make it to the edge of the house, rounding the corner as I could hear him running behind me. I make it to the front of the house when I spotted Pogue's Ducati. It was an awful idea, but I couldn't think of anything else to do.

Hopping on, I threw his helmet on looking for the key. The one good things about living on a private-gated estate, no need to lock up our stuff. I turn the key as I notice Reid running up. I shift the gears and take off, wind blowing all around me. I could hear Reid's distant shouts, but I reeved the bike's engine speeding down the drive way till I nearly busted through the automatic gate that wasn't opening fast enough. Finally I could be alone.

Reid's POV

Shit. Pogue was gonna flip shit. He told me not to chase her, and what was the first thing she does when I do, steals her brother's bike... I knew I liked her for a reason, impulsive and quick on her feet.

I hear the front door open and the brothers roll out of the house.

"Where the hell is my bike!" Pogue shouted, but I didn't bother to look at him.

"Well, you see, I was outside by the pond, just thinking and..."

"You think?" Baby boy laughed.

Smacking him upside the head I continued, " and Karleigh showed up. I don't think she realized I was going to be there but she flipped out and ran... And I sorta followed her. I guess I might have spooked her cause the next thing I knew she was on your bike and gone."

There was a moment of silence, when Pogue then finally let out a blast of power knocking me into a nearby tree. I deserved that.

"Pogue calm down, she'll come back, she always does." Caleb always had to be the voice of reason.

"In case you forgot Caleb, she doesn't even want to be here. She hates it here. And it's all Reid's fault. Now came a time when she had to be home, in a safe, calm place, and Reid fucked it all up again." He let loose another ball of energy sending back into the same tree. I wasn't gonna fight it because it was all true.

"Pogue, you can't keep bringing that up, Reid couldn't tell her why he was gone," Tyler tried to justify Reid's mistake all those years ago.

"Its no excuse." I whisper, mostly to myself to remind me that what I did was the worse thing you could do to a girl that you supposably loved.

"Reid stay away from my sister. I swear if you ever try to go after her again. I'll kill you. She's been through to much to deal with your shit!" Pogue continued to yell at me, and all I could do it think of that day two years ago.

*Flashback*

Karleigh was coming home today. I couldn't wait to have her in my arms, the scent of her strawberry shampoo that lingered in her hair. I was gonna go to the airport with Pogue and the guys to pick her up around three. It was two right now and we were about to leave for the Boston Airport, which would take an hour to get there.

Taking the wheel of Tyler's Hummer, we quickly speed off to Boston. The car ride melted away as we got closer, I could feel my nerves becoming more sensitive due to the excitement building up inside of me.

I parked the hummer in the parking garage and we walked into the airport and waited by the security gate, her flight would have landed about ten minutes ago and the wait wouldn't be to much longer.

My eyes searched the crowds of people, unable to find her, what if something happened.

"Pogue are you sure we got the right time?" I turn to look at him, and he laughs.

"Dude, turn around."

There walking through the gate was Karleigh, petite, strong framed, and damn sexy. She was wearing yoga pants and light pink sweater with some Uggs. Her dirty blonde hair was pulled to the side in her signature braid. As soon as our eyes connected she ran at me. Jumping on me with a hug.

"Hey Baby!" I kiss her hard on the mouth something I'd been longing to do for months, "I've missed you so much!" I go to grab her ass, when Pogue hits me.

"Hey know what about your big brother! I should get a hug before Reid!" Pogue whined.

I was about to tell him to fuck off when Karleigh beat me to it.

"Yes but Pogue, I've been at a school with all girls and gay guys and Reid's really the only one who can give me what I want."

I laughed, but when I caught the sparkle in her eye that she sealed with a wink, I wrapped my arms around her even tighter.

"Damn no wonder we work so well together, all we think about is..." I'm cut off again by Pogue's hand to the back of my head. "Dude, I was gonna say each other... You dirty minded fuck." I laugh.

After grabbing Karleigh's luggage, we make our way back to the car and I told Tyler he could drive, wanting to spend the whole time with Karleigh.

Once back at the house, the days seemed to melt together, but trying to keep Covenant stuff from Karleigh was hard, I'd be called off to random late night meetings and she'd ask her questions. I knew she was getting suspicious, and Pogue wasn't exactly helping the situation. The day before break was over, we all had been called for a meeting about Pogue's ascension. But when I got back around 1 a.m., Karleigh was up and she was furious.

"Why the fuck, do you leave every night? I tried to be understanding Reid, but you're hiding something!"

"I'm not doing anything. Stop being so fucking suspicious! If it was something important I'd tell you!" I shouted at her.

"What is it another girl cause I don't play that game Reid!"

"No its not! I swear, why would I want to fuck this up Baby!"

"Don't you baby me. You're being so sketchy Reid, I hate it. Your such an asshole, I can't believe I thought you'd be different. Let's face it you're only hear for the sex. We're done. I'm not coming back, I'm gonna stay in California." She grabbed her bag, and was heading for the door.

"Karleigh don't be stupid..."

"OH I'm stupid now. Thanks Reid, you really are an asshole!"

I go to grab her arm, and I pull her back to me. "You're not leaving... not like this." I tighten my grip, holding her too me.

"Reid let go of me. I'm leaving!" She tried to push against me to get away.

"Would you just listen!" I shake her as I know have both my hands on her forearms. My eyes becoming dark as night as anger filled my body.

"Reid you're hurting me." She pried at my hands trying to get them to let up on her arm.

Before I realized what was going on, Pogue busted into the room and pulled Karleigh away from me.

"Reid stay the fuck away from my sister!" He punched me in the face, and when I sat back up I noticed Karleigh's arms where I'd been holding her. Bruised, fading to a ugly purple color. She was visibly shaking.

"Karleigh... I'm." I step towards her.

"No Reid, don't expect me to accept your apologies. And don't expect to see me ever again. Go fuck whatever whore you were with tonight or don't, I don't care. I never thought you'd hurt me the ways you did." And with that she was gone.

The rest of the time she was in Ipswich, she avoided me like the plague. The day she left was the last time I saw her. When she saw me before climbing into Caleb's car, her eyes were full of hate. And I knew she hated me and it hurt so bad.
