Kyle looked at me and he concentrated on my begging eyes. My mom was a mystery to me sometimes but a comfort at other times. There was also the problem of Hillary. Kyle was just too delicate to the likes of girl trouble my mom had told me.

I glanced over again quickly and saw her holding the guy's muscles. She became a devil in a matter of seconds. Kyle was still looking at me and he sighed. I hoped he was going to tell me. My mom... I missed her...

'Nicki, your mom was exceptional and intelligent. She was beautiful and strong. Sometimes she did things which she thought were perfectly acceptable, like walking around naked.' He smiled slightly and I was confused,' Jessi was... Also very isolated... Once I believe she "faked" jumping off a building and walking across water just to get attention. She had a troubled past. She was thought of as an "it" not a "she".'

'Um... Kyle...' I noticed he was always smiling and he looked at lot happier when he was talking about my mom, it felt weird but good,' I overheard Hillary call my mom a bitch,' he looked shocked and then turned his head. He really shouldn't have done that, Hillary was now leaning on the guy and he was touching her. I kept glancing between her and Kyle waiting for her to notice him looking.

Strangely he turned to me, he looked now really shaken but his kind face was covering this,' well, Hillary had always had a grudge against your mom, she um...' He looked at her again,' she... Your mom, ruined Hillary's broadcast and she got annoyed, they were never really friends. Then ten years ago, a few days before Jessi disappeared, she began to become slow and isolated. We had no idea why but she was pulling away from us, we felt slowly separated. So Lori was sulking and Hillary wanted to cheer her up so she went to see Jessi. Jessi wasn't talkative at all and she snapped, she was having a nightmare and woke up with her hand around Hillary's neck. Your mom went missing a two days after.'

'Wow, now I see, my mom was emotionally unstable.'

'Yes, sort of, our family had loads of theories as to why she left, Josh kept thinking she was eloping with an alien, Lori thought it was because of what happened with Hillary, I thought it was because of what happened between...' He looked at the girl behind the counter,' no, you don't need to know that,'

I nodded, I understood that Kyle had told me about my mom with love and caring he must have been a great brother. I turned back to the computer and at the graffiti. Kyle looked with me and gasped.

'Was this about you?' He asked looking concerned.

I nodded, unfortunately it was,' I think so, but I'm used to it.' I closed it down and downed my drink,' Kyle, have you finished your shift?' He smiled and nodded, taking glances at Hillary,' then I think I will take you shopping.'

His face changed,' shopping?'

'Yes! You could use a whole new wardrobe! I have analysed modern trends and fashions for your look and I think I know what would suit you!' I grabbed his hand and shouted,' come on Kyle!' I turned and saw Hillary suddenly jump out of her embrace and thought you deserved that.

When we reached the mall, it was busy but not crowded. I dragged him from store to store buying him the correct trends and outfits. He seemed to have forgotten all about Hillary. He loved the afternoon, we laughed and danced at some store music that was way out of date. It was great!

Afterwards we went home and Nicole was making dinner. Kyle insisted I helped and so that time was great. Nicole was a great teacher and she taught me how to do each individual thing. When the dinner was finally in the oven I went to see Kyle who had retreated to his room.

I turned the handle and saw him laying in his tub fast asleep but he was sweating and looked agitated. I quickly ran over and pressed my palm to his forehead, he was boiling hot. I ran and got some cold water and dipped it in a towel. I placed it on his forehead. Nicole came running in to see what was the matter. She told me to get her Kyle's phone.

I searched his jacket and pulled it out. I handed it to Nicole who phoned someone. I placed my hand on his forehead again and hoped he would get better. He was stammering now,' ke.. ...sa..a..aaf..e cccom...ee..ho...ome... re..reun...ite,'

I placed the cold towel on him again hoping to get his temperature down. I was so worried and scared. Suddenly a man burst in the room and moved towards Kyle carrying a bag.

'Declan! That was fast...' Nicole exclaimed. The man knelt the opposite side to the tub to me and placed two small discs in Kyle's temple. He then placed what were electrical transfer rods on the discs and activated them. Kyle jolted up but then back down I was scared for him.

'What was that?'

'Its an electrical transfer coil. It snaps him out of that state.' The man answered,' Kyle made it in case of an emergency.' He gathered his stuff and stood up.

Nicole was flustered but gave the man a handshake,' thank you for getting here so quick, Declan.'

Declan nodded,' I do only live next door Mrs Trager.'

I smiled at him as he left. Then I placed my hand on Kyle's temple again. His temperature had dropped around ten degrees lower. I found it weird.

'What...' I looked at Nicole.

'Something like his happens every so often but not as intense as this time. It's a sign which means something is about to happen, he'll wake up in a bit,' then she added,' I hope..'

Nicole left and went to check on dinner, while I sat and looked at Kyle. He was delicate and simple I wondered why this would happen to him. He had stopped stuttering now and he was calmer, much calmer. When he finally opened his eyes, he was fuzzy and confused. He saw me and smiled,'what are you doing here?'

I laughed and left the room; allowing him to change into some clean clothes as the ones he was wearing were sweat covered. I went and sat outside on the steps leading up to the front door. The cool night breeze whisked past my face and my black hair followed its path.

I felt much calmer and relaxed. My stress levels were reduced greatly but I knew something else was happening in the night. I heard footsteps hit the pavement and I looked up. It was Mace and he was walking towards the house next door. He looked up at me and his eyes opened.

'Nicki? Wasn't it? From the park?' He leaned on the wall and smiled at me.

'Yes, I didn't think you would remember,' I got up and walked towards him.

'Why? I wouldn't forget you.' He smiled that smile again and I sat up on the wall; facing the house.

'I told you before, I'm not used to people talking to me.'

He sat up next to me; facing the street,' that can't be true... Who'd not want to talk to you? I think you're cool,'

'Yeah right, people ignored me, I was a nobody,'

'Well, you've got a new friend.'

We sat in silence for a while before Nicole called to me from the house,'Nicki! Dinner! Oh, Mason, why don't you go and ask your uncle if you'd like to join us!'

He nodded and hopped off the wall,' of course Mrs T,'

I jumped off the wall too and watched him walk into the next house. This was going to be an eventful night, I could feel it.

A/N i hope you liked This! What do you think happens next?

Thanks xx
