"Look who is making headlines." Kelly Parker said dropping a magazine in front Kaylie. Kaylie looked down at it confused. "Britney Spears?" That was the first name that came to mind.

"Stop trying to be funny and look through it." Kaylie shook her head flipping through a few pages. And that's when she saw it. It was the picture of her and Austin when he kissed her after she won her metal at worlds. "Wow." She knew it was announced to the press but she didn't think she would actually see it in a magazine.

"Let me see that." Lauren said without warning snatching the magazine. "Rock Rebel Kaylie Cruz and The bad boy of Gymnastics Austin Tucker make it official?" Lauren asked. "I need to get myself in one of these, Kaylie do you know if Austin has any famous single guy friends?"

"When has single or taken ever mattered to you?" Payson couldn't help but ask.

"This isn't Happy hour! Get to work!" Sasha shouted.

Lauren knew Sasha said to get to work so she pretended to get a drink of water so she could confront Austin. She just couldn't get over the extra fame Kaylie was getting just from being Austin Tuckers girlfriend. Yes she was happy for her friend. Kaylie deserved to have a guy like Austin in her life. But Lauren naturally wanted some kind of attention.

"I know you saw this." Lauren putting the magazine up to Austin's face almost hitting him with it. He stepped back a little taking the magazine so he could see what she was talking about. "Oh this? Yes I've seen it Max showed it to me earlier."

"You have to have some good looking single equally famous friends. I need some fame to." Lauren started; Austin scratched the top of his head. Lauren had long sharp claws just waiting to sink them into somebody. What kind of friend would he be if he hooked her up with one of his friends? But he also knew if he didn't tell her something she wanted to hear Kaylie wouldn't hear the end of it. Then some way somehow he'd be blamed for it.

"Look I'm having a party Saturday at my Lake house everyone's invited." He told her. And from the smile she gave him and the way she skipped away he knew she was satisfied enough.

"What did you do?" Kaylie asked walking over to him.

"She asked if I had any single friends." Austin answered her innocently. Kaylie crossed her arms in front of her. "And what did you tell her?"

"I told her I'm having a party at my lake house Saturday." He said. "You better be there Cruz. This time use the front door." He laughed remembering the last party he had at his lake house and how she made her entrance by falling on top of a pile of pizza boxes and ended up with a piece of peperoni stuck in her hair.

"Ha ha real funny." Kaylie playfully pushed him before walking away.


"Anybody home?" Kaylie called out once inside her house.

"I'm in the family room!" Ronnie shouted.

"Where's dad?" Kaylie asked. Dropping her gym bag down on the floor. "Dad!" she shouted and didn't get an answer. She figured he must be in a further section of the house. He probably didn't hear her. She was going to find him.

"Kaylie he isn't here." Ronnie told her. Kaylie frowned.

"So where is he?"

"At his apartment." Ronnie told Kaylie seeing the disappointment flash across her little girls face hurt her but pretending wasn't helping her. "We talked about it and we thought it was time that we get back to normal."

"I thought we were back to normal." Kaylie quickly told her. Normal to her was both her parents living under the same roof. Not one parent in this huge house and the other in some stupid apartment. Alone. What kind of family is that?

"We talked about his Kaylie. You knew that your father and I aren't going to be together not anytime soon anyway."

Kaylie knew they talked about it. They even talked about it in therapy. How things would be once she was in the safe zone of her recovery. What "Normal" was going to be for that point on. But talking about it and actually going through it were two completely different things. "I know. I just thought you two were getting along that's all."

"We are." Ronnie said. Kaylie didn't want to talk about it anyway. Ronnie followed behind Kaylie to her room. "Are you going to be alright?"

"Mom I'm fine." She couldn't have everything her way she understood that now.

"So I saw that picture you and Austin." Ronnie said able to smile at Kaylie uncontrollably blush. She wanted to Kaylie smile and Austin was just the way to do it.

"He is having a party Saturday. Can I go?" Something good could come out of living with her 'desperate to be my daughters friend' mother.

"Sure you can. I'll even help you find something to wear."

Kaylie really wanted that. She wasn't the prettiest girl Austen dated he said that himself. She wasn't perfect she didn't have large boobs and long legs. She didn't have blonde hair and blue eyes. She knew he felt for her. That he even might just love her. But was she crazy for wanting to blow his mind? Wanting to be what he found irresistible.

AN

I'm not sure who asked what I thought about their idea to start an Austin and Kaylie story because no name was left

So whoever you are. I say go for it. It's worth a try. I myself have enjoyed writing this story.

(Even though I have only posted 3 chapters so far)

There aren't many stories based on them. It would be awesome if you started one. I will defiantly read it
