Sorry i haven't updated all week. I was sick and i wasn't allowed on the computer. Anyway, here is the next chapter. I am also working on another one called A New Life and it's about ICarly and vampires. Please enjoy.
"Tyler-" Jason started.
"No. Don't start with me. I saw what happened in there. Kayla, I understand if you don't want to talk about it, but please explain to me what's going on. Every time Kayla's parents are mentioned, Jason, you act like Kayla is a glass doll and you go all protective mode on her. And you always ask if Kayla can stay over. What's going on?" Tyler asked. Jason looked at Kayla and she sighed.
"My parents, they are constantly fighting. Like constantly. Sometimes it's about money and sometimes about me. But most of the time they just scream at each other about nothing. I mean, I saw that one argument with your parents where it got to yelling, but the fights my parents have are a thousand times louder and scarier. My mum threatened my dad with a knife one day while Jason was over and that's how he found out. That was actually one of their milder fights. I just don't like being home anymore. It doesn't feel safe and until I get out there for college, I like being here." Kayla said. She then saw Tyler look to Jason who gave him a hard stare.
"Well are you going to tell her or am i?" Tyler asked, unaffected by the deadly look his older brother gave him.
"Tell me what?" Kayla asked, looking at Jason.
"Jason here is staying in Seattle to go to college. It's a surprise for mum and dad and also obviously you." Tyler said.
"Wait. You're staying in Seattle?" Kayla asked, Jason turning to look at her with a soft look on his face.
"Yeah. I know I could go to Cal Tech or MIT, but I don't think I'd be able to manage being away from my family or you. Going into a fancy college wouldn't hurt, but I'd miss you too much." Jason said and Kayla grinned, throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him. Tyler grinned and then went up the stairs, unlocking the door and walking out with a smile.
"What are you so happy about?" Sam asked from the kitchen.
"Nothing. Jason and Kayla just owe me a little something is all." Tyler replied. Sam frowned at him, but he just smiled wider in reply and went and grabbed a blue soda.
"You know you shouldn't have sugar when you're tired." Sam said.
"It's 4;30 and I want to be awake at dinner. It's not going to kill me to have some sugar." Tyler said and Sam rolled her eyes. Tyler then went and sat on the couch which was now lonesome and started watching a basketball match on TV. He sat there for 10 minutes before Clarissa came downstairs wearing faded jeans, a white long sleeved shirt and her hair was still up.
"Are you really watching sport? You've played all day." Clarissa said as she sat down next to him.
"Well, it's a good game." Tyler replied.
"A game that you have on record. Can't we watch something else?" Clarissa asked and Sam looked up. Tyler never let anyone cut over his sport. But much to her surprise, Tyler sighed and handed Clarissa the remote which made the girl smile and then turn to the TV.
"What else is there on?" Tyler asked as Clarissa flicked through the channels.
"Well, Celebrities Underwater is on." Clarissa said.
"Put it on now." Sam said as she came into living room and sat on an armchair and Tyler and Clarissa both smiled. Clarissa then put the show on just as it started and Sam was immediately engrossed.
"Isn't it basketball night?" Jason asked Tyler when he and Kayla came upstairs a few minutes later. Tyler, Clarissa and Sam just shushed him as they were engrossed with Celebrities Underwater. Jason and Kayla just rolled their eyes and then went upstairs as Ashton came down.
"Are you guys serious?" Ashton asked
"Shhh." Tyler, Clarissa and Sam all said at once and Ashton rolled her eyes, sitting on the armchair next to Sam's. She then looked over at Clarissa and Tyler and she started wondering if they were really dating. Clarissa was almost sitting on Tyler and he was holding her arm, the two so engrossed in the show that they didn't seem to notice how close they were.
"Come on. Just 15 more seconds. You can do this Timmy Callan." Tyler said.
"Don't fail us now." Sam said.
"Please make it without dying." Clarissa said. When the buzzer went off and Jimmy popped up, Clarissa, Sam and Tyler cheered, but as they were cheering, Clarissa accidently whacked Tyler in the face.
"Oh my god. I'm so sorry." Clarissa said.
"It's fine. I think you poked my eye out though." Tyler said, blinking his eyes quickly, his right one watering.
"I'll get the eye drops." Sam said.
"No. That stuff hurts my eyes." Tyler said as Sam went over to the kitchen.
"Don't be a baby. Do you want your eye to go all funny for the rest of the night?" Ashton asked.
"I refuse to put that stuff in. My eye will be fine." Tyler said.
"Come on. Do you want your eye watering into your dinner?" Clarissa asked.
"I don't care. I'm not putting that stuff in." Tyler said firmly. Sam then walked back into the living room and handed the stuff to Clarissa.
"Eyes freak me out. You do it." Sam said.
"How do you get eye drops in then?" Ashton asked.
"Your dad pretends to give up and then he tackles me and puts it in my eyes. He is lucky that he's the only one that can get away with that." Sam muttered and Clarissa and Ashton smiled.
"Come on Tyler. It's just one drop." Clarissa said and Tyler shook his head. Clarissa let out an exasperated sigh and went to put it in his eye to have him cover his eyes. She groaned and then got an idea.
"Fine. Have a watery eye then." Clarissa and Tyler relaxed. A few seconds later, Clarissa quickly moved and pushed his head back, dripping it into his eye and then quickly getting up and moving away to the kitchen.
"Clarissa!" Tyler yelled, blinking furiously again.
"Well, it was either that or argue all night. And blame your mum. She gave me the idea." Clarissa said, putting the eye stuff on the bench and then grabbing herself a root beer before going and sitting back next to Tyler.
"Why did you have to say anything mum?" Tyler grumbled and Sam grinned.
"Because I'm awesome. Where is your nub of a dad anyway?" Sam asked.
"He's upstairs. I think he fell asleep." Ashton replied and Sam sighed. She then got up and went upstairs to hers and Freddie's room to find her husband fast asleep, still dressed with his shoes on. Sam had to smile at this. He always got tired after listening to loud noises after a long period of time and watching basketball and hockey with people loudly cheering all around him had taken it out of him.
"Baby, wake up." Sam said, shaking him slightly and he stirred, rolling onto his back and slowly opening his eyes.
"Did I fall asleep?" Freddie asked tiredly and Sam nodded.
"Come on. Let's go downstairs and watch TV for a while before dinner." Sam said and Freddie nodded, sitting up and then yawning. Sam smiled and then ran her fingers through his hair, fixing it up a little. She then rested her hand on his cheek and he leant into it. Sam then leant in and softly kissed him for a few seconds before pulling away and then out of the room. However, as they were heading to the stairs, they saw something and almost yelled out. Down the end of the hall, Tyler and Clarissa were making out, both seeming into it. Smiling, the two snuck quietly down the hall to the stairs, going down to the living room and falling onto the now vacant couch, snuggling together on the couch and ignoring their daughters look of annoyance.
"Why can't I have a boyfriend?" Ashton muttered under her breath before she got up and went upstairs to find the biggest shock of her life.
