Kyle was hectic at work when Heath comes upstairs from the gym. "Hey, Ky, Bee told me about you and Case this morning, you okay?" Heath asks his brother who was frantically rushing around after the customers.

"It's fine, I'm fine and I'm busy. I'll talk to you later Heath. Maybe tomorrow I'm working till midnight." Kyle sighs as he grabs two pizzas off the chef and places them on a table and smiles politely at the customers. "Enjoy." He turns around and goes back to the bar. He was unaware of the three girls staring lovingly at him.

"Little Kylie is single for years and now has four girls staring adoringly at him," Heath smirks at his little brother, the three girls are still looking at him every few seconds.

Kyle looks up from the ordering book and stares confused at his older brother. "Huh? What are you on about?" Kyle asks confused.

Laughing to himself Heath nods towards the direction of the three girls.

Kyle looks at them and catches their eyes. He immediately looks down again and closes the ordering book and goes out to the storeroom.

Heath follows him and leans against the doorframe.

"So busy at the gym today?" Kyle asks as he tries to change the subject. He knew his brother wouldn't leave him alone.

Heath glares at him knowing exactly what he was trying to do. "Kyle seriously, you know that in all seriousness you could get a whole bunch of girls. I've seen how many look at you with adoring eyes, seriously Ky. Why haven't you dated? You could you know. There is more than just Tam." Heath sighs wondering why Kyle was single until Tamara.

Kyle looks up at him and sighs. "I'm busy Heath." He didn't want to talk to Heath about it. Sure, he was on his side with all of this Casey him and Tamara issue but he was still his older brother who always gave him stick. He tries to push past his brother but is grabbed lightly by the back of his t-shirt.

"Ky, come on. Why didn't you date any other girls when Tamara was with Casey?" Heath asks trying to understand why his brother who girls looked at with adoring eyes never had a girlfriend till Tamara.

"She's the one Heath, I love her and she's the one. But how can I be with her when Casey hates me because of it, what if I'm left all alone again" Kyle sighs and looks at his older brother. He loved Tamara, there was no other girl for him and sure girls stared at him adoringly but that didn't take away the fact that he had been a nervous wreck around girls when he was a kid, he was also scared that he would lose the family he has fought so hard to get into.

Flashback

Fifteen-year-old Kyle Bennett walks up to Libby Peterson. The second smartest kid in his class after him, Goalie for the school's second football team and wicketkeeper for the school's first cricket team, she was just an ordinary student. She wasn't popular but she had friends, she wouldn't get voted for school captain but she was liked by the whole school. She may not be popular but she was a queen compared to Kyle.

"Hey Libby," Kyle whispers lightly. He was so nervous, he was shaking. He thought Libby was pretty and a really nice girl and he wanted to ask her to the coming up dance.

"Hey Kyle, finished the science project?" Libby asks sweetly at Kyle, Shit did she have a cute smile. Kyle couldn't deal he just couldn't deal with the smile that she had.

"A coke can speaker." Kyle nods his head a little bit embarrassed, all the other kids that had asked him that questioned had laughed at him and a few had even shoved his head down a toilet.

"Wow, you're just so smart. All I'm doing is what the effect of rainwater on plants compared to tap water. I thought mine was a great one until I heard that." Libby smiles.

Kyle looks up at her and smiles. "I'm sure it's great." He smiles lightly.

"You're too sweet." Libby smiles and ruffles Kyle's hair.

"Yeah, hey Libby I was wondering…... you… um…. Would you… umm." Kyle tries but can't quite get the words out.

"For a nerd, he doesn't know English very well." Libby's friend Ashley laughs causing their whole group to giggle loudly except for Libby who glares at them.

Kyle looks down at his shoes and blushes with embarrassment. "Would you like to go to the dance with me?" He asks finally getting the words out but be had to look at his feet to do it.

"Aww thanks, Kyle but I'm going with Cedric Fisher. I think it's really sweet that you asked though." Libby smiles lightly and once again ruffles his hair. She walks away and so does her friends except for Ashley.

"What did you think she was going to say, nerd." She laughs and pushes Kyle slightly then walks away still laughing to herself.

Kyle lowers his head and wonders to himself why he even bothered like she would go to a dance with a guy like him anyway.

End of flashback

"Okay, I get it Ky, She's a very special girl. She loves you, you love her. It'll all clear up, in the end, I mean Tamara remembers everything, everything about how you guys all met, what you were doing and she chose you, it's a simple as that and I should have realised that." Heath shrugs lightly and leans closer to his brother trying to push him to talk.

"Casey never will, to him I'll always be scum and a mistake. You don't get it Heath, my whole life I've either been the loser, the psycho or scum, No one has ever seen me as just an ordinary guy, a guy that everyone likes and wants to hang out with, do you know how hard that is?" Kyle asks, he will always know that there are people in the world that just plain hate him and only a very few that actually like him.

"Ky, Case will get over it and no I don't know what it's like. I grew up as the guy that always made everyone else laugh. Brax was the same and Casey wasn't far off so I don't know really how to explain this but Kyle, you're a great kid. Come on do you really care what Casey thinks. You never have before?" Heath asks as he stares hard into Kyle's eyes trying to find out why his brother was so upset.

"I don't want to be rejected, I know you said that you are on my side of this but I know if it actually came to it, you would pick Casey over me in a heartbeat and I know that because I'm a loser, always have been always will be, ask my high school bullies, they'll know." Kyle sighs and walks over to a customers table and checks that everything is alright. He then returns to Heath and tries to get past him but is stopped in his tracks.

"Your bullies were jerks and I would never believe a single word that comes out of their mouths, although no words would come out of their mouths because if I ever ran into them I would either reach down their throats and rip out their vocal chords or knock out their teeth," Heath says while smirking at his brother.

Kyle stares at Heath and sighs lightly. Having a big brother like Heath was kind of nice, sure he was at the wrong end in a big brother way, he shoved him around lightly and called him names but him threatening to knock out his bullies teeth made him feel great about it. But of course, he would pick Casey.

"Don't lie, Heath, of course, you would pick Casey, I'm not an idiot, I'm a nerd." Kyle huffs and walks past Heath and goes into the kitchen. Heath sighs and looks at his watch, he would have to talk to Kyle later he was already late coming back from his break.
