Sarah and Seth (Twins) are Josh and Evie's kids (Seth and Sarah are 17)
Sarah had been walking for what seemed like forever. She actually kind of liked it. Since they had moved back to the bay, she had walked just about everywhere, even though her parents, Mostly her dad, Insisted that it was probably a better idea to take the bus unless Seth or Levi was walking with her. Yeah, that would work if her and Levi were actually talking or if Seth were around. Walking was good for her. It helped her clear her head, and get a new perspective on everything.
She glanced up when she felt a raindrop hit the top of her head. Thats when she remembered that there was supposed to be a big storm that night. She walked up to the gym, making her way inside.
The lights were on, but it didn't look like anyone was actually in there. Maybe Andy or casey forgot to turn off the lights...again. She walked into the storeroom, grabbing a towel to dry off with before walking back into the gym and sitting on a bench.
"Sarah?"
She quickly looked around to see Casey walking out of the office. Thats why the lights were on.
"What are you doing in here?" He asked.
"It was raining, so I thought I would stay here until it stopped." She shrugged, "What are you doing?"
"I had to grab something before Heading home." He nodded a little, "I thought you already went home."
"I did."
"Then what are you doing back here? You didn't walk did you? You know theres a storm coming, right?"
"I needed to get out of the house, away from my family." She mumbled, "Yeah, I walked. The bus doesn't really come around this late."
"Is everything okay?"
She shrugged, looking around as the lights start to flicker.
"Sarah, if you need to talk to anyone, I'm here."
"Why does everyone think somethings wrong with me? I dont need to talk to anyone, okay? I just want to be left alone!"
Casey opened his mouth to say something, but stopped short when the lights went out.
"Whats going on?" Sarah asked, looking around.
"The storm must have knocked the power out."
She sighed, standing up, "I have to get home." She reached for the door, but couldn't get it open. She glanced over at Casey.
"What?" He asked.
"The door won't open."
Casey walked over to the door, twisting the doorknob, but it wouldn't budge, "The Security system," He sighed.
"The what?"
"Andy got a new Security system installed because someone broke in last week," He explained, "It's electronic. The powers out, so the doors arent going to open until the powers back."
"You mean.."
"We're both stuck in here until the power comes back on."
Seth and Ryan quickly walked down the road, making their way to Ryans house when the rain started pouring down.
"Seth! We're never going to make it to the house before the storm gets worse." Ryan yelled.
"Well we can't stay out here!" Seth yelled over the sound of the howling wind, "Where the hell are we supposed to go?"
Ryan looked around at the closest house, "C'mon."
The boys walked over to the front door. Seth stood by the door, while Ryan walked over to a window, peeking before walking back.
"No one's inside." Ryan said, looking around.
"What's your point?" Seth asked, giving him a weird look when he started digging through his pockets, and pulled out a lockpick, "Dude, we arent breaking into someones house."
"It's that or sit out here, take your pick, mate." He replied, picking the lock and looking around before opening the door.
Seth watched Ryan walk into the house before hesitantly following him inside.
Natalie walked into the house, pulling her hoodie off her head before hearing Denny talking in the living room. She barely got around the corner before she was spotted.
"Where were you?" Denny asked.
"With Case." Natalie replied, walking over to the couch.
"We had no idea where you went." She sighed, "Ash left a while ago looking for you, he took Hayden with him."
"He went out to find me?"
"Yeah, they left a couple minutes ago."
"Um, I'll go call him, if you want. let him know I'm here." She nodded, rolling her eyes at the weird look she got. She didn't even wait for a response, before walking to the door and pulling out her mobile. She frowned a little when she didn't get a signal. She was about to walk outside when the front door opened, nearly hitting her in the face. Ash walked in, with a soaked Hayden following behind him.
"You're home." Ash sighed, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I just got here." She nodded, looking up at him, "Mum said you went looking for me."
"Yeah, I-she got worried when the rain started picking up, and you weren't home yet."
"Casey walked me to the gym, and I walked the rest of the way myself."
"Well, that's stupid." Hayden rolled his eyes, taking his Jacket off.
"Why don't you go sit with your Mum." Ash said, pushing Hayden out of the way.
Hayden shrugged, walking to the living room.
"I'm glad you're okay." Ash nodded before starting to walk to the living room with Hayden.
"Ash?" She called him back.
"Yeah?"
She took a deep breath, "Can we talk?"
Seth looked down at his phone, which was ringing for the fourth time since him and Ryan had gotten out of the rain.
"Whos that?" Ryan asked.
"Mum." Seth replied, setting his phone on the coffee table, "Thats the fourth time she's called, what am i supposed to tell her when she calls again?"
"Just tell her you're at my house." Ryan shrugged, tossing his phone on the couch.
"Yeah, but what if her or Dad goes over there or something?"
"Then we're screwed, alright."
Seth waited for a moment before saying anything else, "What are we going to do?"
"We'll wait til the storm passes, then we can get out of here as quick as possible." Ryan shrugged, "And hope whoever lives here doesn't come home before we can leave."
"What if they come home first?"
"Seth, could you shut up for ten minutes?" Ryan sighed, sitting on the arm of the couch, "I'll figure something out, but for now we arent going anywhere."
Alexis sat in the living room, playing on her mobile. luckily, the storm wasn't bad enough to mess up her signal and she could still talk to Harley.
Alexis: Did you get caught in the storm?
Harley: Nah, Bianca came to get me before I even left the restaurant.
Alexis: Lucky. I had to walk all the way home. :(
Harley: You poor thing. ;) Maybe if you'd waited around, you could have ridden home with me.
Alexis: Maybe next time.
Harley: Sorry about having to cancel dinner.
"Who are you talking to?" Sam asked, walking over to the couch.
Alexis dropped her phone in her lap, looking at Sam with a blank stare, "What do you want?"
"Are you talking to Harley?"
"What's it matter to you?"
"Thats where you were last night, wasnt it?" He smiled, which made Alexis more uncomfortable than she would have been if he had gotten mad, "Dad's going to freak."
"Yeah, but you're not going to tell him, are you?"
"It depends."
"Depends on what?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
"Alexis, I thought you knew me."
She rolled her eyes, "How much do you want?"
"My silence cannot be bought."
"What do you want, Sam?"
"I need a sponsor for the basketball tournament."
"That involves money, doesn't it?"
"Oh yeah, I guess it does." He shrugged.
"How much is it?"
"$40."
"This is blackmail." She frowned, crossing her arms.
"I think Dad got home a couple minutes ago, maybe I should go talk to him."
"Okay fine!" She rolled her eyes, reaching in her pocket for the money, and handing it to him, "There, now shut up."
"The entire basketball team thanks you." He grinned, taking the money and walking to his bedroom.
Casey sat against the wall, watching Sarah walk back and forth around the gym, like she had been for the last forty-five minutes.
"Sarah, would you stop, pacing isn't going to help us get out of here any quicker." He sighed, leaning his head back against the wall.
"Could you just...leave me alone?"
"At least sit down of something, all of the pacing is making me dizzy."
She walked back to the bench, sitting down. She glanced over at Casey, waiting for a moment before asking what they were both thinking, "How long do you think the storms supposed to last?"
"I don't know, probably a couple hours." He nodded a little, "Which means we'll probably be stuck here all night."
Sarah sighed, looking down at her phone, which didn't have a signal...just her luck, "Mum and dad are going to freak."
"They don't know where you went?"
"No...I kind of got mad at them and left the house without telling them where I was going," She shrugged, "What about your Mum? Does she know where you are?"
"She knew I was stopping here to pick up some stuff, but knowing her, she's probably going out of her mind wondering where I am, and why I'm not home."
"She's got a pretty good reason to worry about you."
Casey shrugged, looking down at his phone, which had gone dead a couple minutes after he got to the gym.
"Well, after all thats happened with your family, yeah, it makes sense." Sarah nodded, "She just wants to make sure you're okay."
"Yeah," He nodded, "Sound familiar?"
"Yeah, it does."
Natalie sat on the edge of her bed, looking out the window, when her bedroom door opened. She looked around to see Ash standing in the doorway.
"You wanted to talk about something?" He asked.
"Yeah," She nodded, taking a deep breath.
"What's up?"
"I wanted to say I'm sorry," She started, but was interrupted.
"Nat, you dont have to apologize."
"Yeah, I do. I've been terrible to you, even though all you've done for years is try to help me and Mum." She sighed, "It's just, I miss my dad. and I know it sounds stupid because I never met him, but I hated the idea of having someone else around instead of him, and I took it out on you, and I'm sorry."
"It doesn't sound stupid, Nat." He shook his head sitting down next to her, "And I dont want to replace your dad, I just want to be here for you if you ever need someone."
"You're not mad at me?"
"Why would I be mad at you?"
"Because I've not exactly been the nicest person to you."
"It's fine. You had your reasons." He shrugged a little, "What do you say we put all of this behind us, and when this storm clears up, me and you go camping for the weekend?"
"Camping? Really?" She laughed a little.
"Yeah, It could be fun."
"Okay," She smiled.
"What are we supposed to do until morning?" Sarah yawned, walking out of the bathroom, and looking around to see Casey messing with the gym mats.
"Uh, we have school tomorrow, so probably get some sleep?" Casey nodded a little.
"Where? On the benches?"
"No, I got the mats out of the office, I figure they're more comfortable than the floor is." He shrugged, sitting on the edge of one of the mats.
Sarah nodded slightly, walking over to the mats and sitting down as far away from him as she could get without falling off.
Casey sighed, "Sarah? Can I ask you something?"
"You just did." She shrugged.
"Did I do something that made you mad?"
"What?"
"You've acted like I did something wrong since you got back here. like, We used to be friends, then when you got back from the city, it was like you hated me." He nodded a little, moving to sit next to her.
"I dont hate you, Casey." She shook her head, looking at the door.
"Really, because you sure act like it. even after i've tried to be nice, and I've done just about everything but actually straight out saying I like you."
"You what?"
"I like you," He repeated, "I have for a while now, and I guess it just took me up until now to actually be able to tell you."
"You can't."
"Why can't I?" He laughed a little, mostly out of awkwardness.
"Because."
"I dont think thats a good reason." He smiled, leaning in to kiss her.
She didn't move, expecting him to say it was just a joke and he didn't really like her like that...but he didnt. He actually kissed her. She wasn't really sure what to do. He pulled away a little, just enough to see the look on her face. She smiled a little, placing her hand on his cheek and pulling him back into the kiss.

A/N #2
Okay, so I know that ending was probably expected, but things between Casey and Sarah arent going to be that simple, and things from Sarah's past might get in the way a bit.
What are you guys thinking so far? Do you have a favourite character? Who do YOU think should be together? Let me know in the reviews. Seriously, I value your opinions. :)
REVIEWS:
FrankElza: Thanks for another review! I'm glad you enjoyed chapter 2! Yes, Sarah is very complicated, but as you can see up there, She's trying very hard to get past whatever happened before they moved back from the city. I'm glad you like Casey and Natalies relationship. I think it really helps that they are close in age, and they sort of had eachother to rely on growing up. Yes, Natalie has daddy issues, but I think she'll get through that.
Fanfiction.79: Ages are up at the top, I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. :) If you need to know anything else, feel free to ask, or check out the TUMBLR, where everything is listed, as well as some other cool stuff. :)
Rachelstarberry38: ALLLIIIIIII! :D Thank you so much. :) I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) Yes, Alexis is pretty Awesome, just like someone else who has that name. ;)
Guest: Thanks for the review! :) Yeah, I realize they havent been there yet, but Hayden was in this chapter, and You'll see Amber and Chloe soon. :)
