The next few days passed by very quickly. Getting Conner packed to go home, putting some finishing touches on her sketches, both Kim and Conner were very busy. Before they knew it was Tuesday the 9th, day that Conner was to leave. As he was finishing up, he heard the phone ring.

"I got it," he heard Kim yell out.

"Ok."

"Hello?"

Ethan stared at the phone in confusion, but then remembered what Kira had said a week ago about a girl at Conner's place. "Oh, hi I'm looking for Conner, is he there?"

"Yea hold on, let me get him," She said, "Hey Conner, the phone is for you."

"Who is it?"

"Who am I talking to?"

"It's Ethan."

"It's Ethan, what do you want me to do?"

"Take a message."

"Boy, what do I look like, your secretary?"

Ethan listened to the conversation with interest. Kira, Trent, and Angela, noticing the look of rapture turned to him.

"Dude, what's going on?" Trent asked.

"Shh."

Back to Kim and Conner

"Conner here's the phone, now come get it before I come in there after you."

Conner came out of the bedroom, and smiled at Kim, "You know, for a secretary, you pretty much suck at it."

"A secretary?" she asked, "Whoever said I was your secretary?"

"Well, I did."

"Do I look like a secretary to you?"

He looked her up and down, then answered, "Well… out some heels, a short skirt, and a blouse, plus some ugly, weird looking librarian glasses, and yea, you could look like one."

"Conner Jayden McKnight, I swear I will kill you and hide your mutilated body," she said.

Ethan snickered as he heard that. The others were still trying to hear what was going on, but he waved them down.

"Oh come on, you don't mean that," he pouted.

She shook her head, "Why I let you live with me is beyond my comprehension."

"You love and can't live without me," he teased, "That's why you let me live with you."

"Whatever."

Ethan was shocked and blurted out, "Conner you live with her?"

"OH hey Ethe, and yea I do, have for awhile now."

"Conner how long exactly has you known this girl for you to be saying I love you to her?"

At Ethan's question, Kira felt her hear drop, this wasn't the first time she heard that. But she was hoping that it was a mistake.

'What is wrong with me? Why am I acting this way? I mean, I have a boyfriend; I can't be having these feelings for Conner. And—

"Kira"

"Oh sorry guys," she said, "You were saying?"

"Ethan was just teasing Conner about the new love of his life," Angie said.

"You mean his latest?" Trent asked, "The guy has a new love every week."

They all laughed, but Kira was suddenly in no mood for jokes. Making up an excuse about having something to do before they head to the airport, she walked out of the café and down the streets. She ran into Tommy and Kat.

"Hey Kira," Tommy said, "Thought you were going to go to the airport with the others?"

"I am, but there's something I have to do first."

"Oh, ok then, well I'll see you later."

"Bye Dr. O."

"Airport, why would they be going to the airport?" Kat asked her boyfriend.

"Conner's coming home today, and they haven't seen him in two years." He said. Then he thought about another person that he hasn't seen in years, eight years to be exact. She was, is, the love of his life, and he missed her, more than he thought he would. Shaking his head, he led Kat through the doors of the café.

Walking down the street, Kira wrapped her arms around her waist and thought about Conner.

'Why am I really acting this way? It shouldn't bother me when Conner said that he loves and lives with her. But it sounds like he knew her a long time. I mean Ethe said they've known each other for about two years, which means it's probably TC, the girl he's always talking about. And what did he mean the other day when he said he hopes that he will have what he wants soon. I mean, I couldn't be jealous could I? And if I am, then, then that means that—

"Oh my God, I love Conner," she stopped and said out loud.

'I'm totally, completely in love with Conner McKnight. It makes sense. No wonder I felt weird when he showed up at prom with Krista. But it's true, I love him. He's always been there for me from the moment we met. He was the only one that told me the truth about that farce of a video that I did; he was at every one of my shows, and he's always been supportive of me,no matter what. Not even Trent has been there for me like Conner has. I've always been able to talk to him about anything, even my relationship with Trent, and besides he makes me madder than anyone I've ever met. But when it comes down it, all that can be called passion, and I have it more with him than I do Trent. I wasn't lying when I said Trent and I are just comfortable with each other right now.' Kira sighed, 'What am I going to do? I can't tell Conner, he seems really serious about this girl, more serious than he's been about anybody, even Krista.' As she walked through the park, she sat down on a bench, pulled her knees up, wrapped her arms around them, and rested her chin on her arms. As she sat there, she heard a song on a nearby radio.

It's been too long and I'm lost without you,

What am I gonna do?

I've been needing you, wanting you

Wondering if you're the same and who's been with you

Is your heart still mine? I wanna cry sometime

I miss you

Off to college, yes you went away

Straight from high school you up and left me

We were close friends, also lovers

Did everything for one another

Now you're gone and I'm lost without you here now

But I know I gotta live and let you somehow

Come back to me, can you feel me?

Hear me calling for you

'Cause it's been too long and I'm lost without you

What am I gonna do?

Said I've been needing you, wanting you

Wondering if you're the same and who's been with you

Is your heart still mine? I wanna cry sometime

I miss you

Now I'm sitting here thinking 'bout you

And the days we used to share

It's driving me crazy; I don't know what to do

I'm just wondering if you still care

Now I wanna let you know

That it's killing me

I know you've got another life

You've gotta concentrate, baby

Come back to me, can you feel me?

Hear me calling for you

Cause it's been too long and I'm lost without you

What am I gonna do?

Said I've been needing you, wanting you

Wondering if you're the same, and who's been with you

Is your heart still mine? I wanna cry sometime

I miss you

Since you went away I don't really feel talking

Don't really feel like playing,

I can't do a thing about you

It's been too long and I'm lost without you

Tell me what am I gonna do?

Said I've been needing you, wanting you

Wondering if you're the same and who's been with you

Is your heart still mine?

Ye-ea-ea-eah I miss you baby

What am I gonna do? I've been needing you

Ye-ea-ea-eah

Wondering if you're the same and who's been with you

Is your heart still mine? I wanna cry sometime

I miss you

"And that was 'I miss you' by the late Aaliyah," the radio announcer said.

Kira drowned out the rest of the words, focusing only on the song that just played. She thought about when she first met Conner, how close they became. At the beginning, she knew that he had had some type of feelings for her, but she was so focused on Trent, that she pushed it out of her mind, and didn't really pay that much attention to it. It wasn't until Krista that she had started to realize or rather acknowledged that she felt more than friendship for the soccer star. She had thought that he would have been done with Krista or that the environmentalist would have no use for him, but when he had showed up to prom with Krista in tow, she knew he was serious about her. She remembered standing on stage and watching him smile at the brunette, and it had hurt. It had reminded her of when Kylee Styles had played with her and Conner had had a huge grin on his face, but when he had turned towards her, it fell into a soft smile, and his eyes seem to be saying, 'she may be famous, but you're better than her, and I'm proud of you.' She had smiled when she saw his smile, because it was his shy smile; and like then she had taken comfort in the fact that the smile that he reserved for her, his Kira Smile as he called it ('cause she was the only that saw it), Krista had never seen. Both Hayley and Dr. O had told her not to let the opportunity go. When you love someone you fight for them. At the time she had denied loving him, but now she couldn't. She was finally being honest with herself, but decided that it would be her secret. Conner's friendship meant more to her than anything else, even what she had with Trent; and she wasn't about to jeopardize it for anything.
