It's been ages but I'm going to try really hard to get this story done, then all my other stories afterwards. I'm still crazy busy so they probably won't be weekly updates but we will see how I go.
….
The four young adults walk into the house and see that the two older brothers and their partners are watching a movie.
"Hey guys." Heath says as they walk in.
Kyle smiles lightly at them all but then gives Tamara a kiss on the cheek and goes to his room. "See you in there babe."
"He okay?" Brax asks pointing in the direction that Kyle had walked.
"There was a bully at the restaurant. It kinda affected him." Casey says. He feels bad for his brother. He really hopes that he finds his confidence again, so that he can stand up to his bullies when he goes to the reunion.
"One of his bullies?" Heath says full of anger.
"Na, just some high school arseholes picking on some poor kid." Casey says as Tamara takes a seat beside Bianca.
"I hate those kids who picked on him!" Ricky says and looks at everyone.
"Those jerks made him eat a worm! A freaking worm!" Tamara sighs. "How can human beings be so cruel?"
"They're arseholes! They had nothing better to do with their pathetic lives." Brax hisses. He is absolutely disgusted that the dickheads made his brother eat a worm. He wishes he could get his hands on them, he's almost certain that Kyle would've had to eat more than just the one worm over the years.
"I really hope he still has the strength to go to the reunion. He deserves to have a chance to finally show his bullies how great he is." Tamara says.
"Me too." Bianca sighs and kisses her husband on the shoulder.
Everyone is quiet for a bit before Heath speaks getting sick of the silence.
"By the way, who won bowling?" He asks, this causes Tamara who is looking down at her hands to start laughing.
"I don't want to talk about it." Casey mumbles, this causes Denny and Tamara to look at each other and laugh louder.
….
Tamara walks into the bedroom to see Kyle watching something on his tv. "Hey baby. What are you watching?" She asks as she kisses him on the cheek.
"The Dark Knight." Kyle replies causing Tamara to smile.
"Cool!" She smiles as she rests her head on her boyfriend's chest. Kyle tilts his head down and kisses the top of Tamara's head.
The two snuggle up on the bed and watch the movie.
….
The next morning Tamara wakes up first and kisses Kyle on his cheek causing him to stir awake.
"Hey." He whispers and he leans up and kisses Tamara's forehead. "You want some pancakes or maybe waffles?" Kyle asks knowing his girlfriend may want some food.
"Is there strawberries?" Tamara asks causing Kyle to screw up his face.
"Ahh I don't know, you know if there's any nice food in this place it goes within seconds." Kyle says over exaggerating.
He sits up and grabs his girlfriend's chin. "How about we go to the diner and afterwards we can go to the supermarket and get you some strawberries." Kyle smiles and gives her a smile.
A grin erupts on Tamara's face. "I knew there was a reason that I was dating you." She smiles and pulls Kyle into a kiss. But then pulls away. "What if someone eats those strawberries?" She questions.
Kyle shrugs in reply. "I'll tell the girls it's your pregnancy food and they'll make sure that the boys keep their hands off, and if they don't I'll deal with them." He smiles.
"Awww baby, that's so sweet. But they will destroy you." She says and laughs at Kyle's face. "Besides your too sweet to be a tough guy." She says. They once again kiss and then eventually pull apart.
Tamara looks down at Kyle. "Before we go Kyle, do you want to talk about last night?" She ask causing Kyle to sigh.
"Not particularly." Kyle answers as he pushes himself up.
"Baby, please!" Tamara pleads, she needs her boyfriend to know how amazing he is.
"Babe, what am I meant to do? I'm terrified about how my bullies will treat me when I see them again." Kyle says and sits down. "I want to show them how far I've come, but what if get there, see them and freeze?" Kyle questions. "They will think that they were always right about me, that all I am is a pathetic nerdy loser."
"Baby, you won't. You are strong and you are brave and I can't wait to raise our baby with you." Tamara says as she pulls Kyle down so that he's sitting on the bed next to her. "You can go to that reunion and show all those arseholes how great you are." She says causing Kyle to smile at her.
"I'm looking forward to showing them all how beautiful you are. Boys will be so jealous." He says and kisses Tamara on the cheek before getting up again and getting changed. Tamara follows her boyfriends lead and the two of them walk out into the lounge together.
"Cute boxers Heath." Tamara grins as she sees Heath standing in the middle of the lounge in only his boxers.
"Morning to you to lovebirds." Heath smirks and walks out after grabbing the milk.
"Yea, we are going to have to name my pregnancy food or else Heath will eat it." Tamara says causing Kyle to laugh.
"Brax and Casey are no better. Once Casey sat on me so that he could eat my fruit loops and it was the last of it." Kyle complains. This causes Tamara to laugh.
"Fruit loops, how cute!" She says and the two of them start to walk towards the diner holding hands.
…
Kyle and Tamara sit down at a table and start to have a look at the menu.
"Ooooo sorry baby, doesn't look like they have fruit loops." Tamara smirks at her boyfriend.
"Very funny." Kyle smirks and sees that they have waffles, so he's happy.
"I'm thinking either a bagel or avocado on toast, or maybe pancakes." Tamara says. All the food looks so good.
"Well if you can't decided between two things, you can eat one now and I'll take one home for you." Kyle smiles causing Tamara to grin.
"You're the best Kyle!" Tamara grins as she starts to think about which two she wants.
…
Brax and Heath are sitting in the lounge when where is a knock at the door. Brax gets up and opens it, standing there is two people and he immediately recognises one of them.
"Mac, what are you doing here?" He asks causing Mac to laugh.
"Always charming Brax." She grins. "Hey Heath." She smiles as she looks around the corner and sees Heath.
"Mackenzie." He smirks and then looks at the guy who is looking a little nervous. "Who's your friend?" He questions.
Mac looks nervous as she looks at her friend. "Guys this is my boyfriend Trent. He went to school with Kyle." She says as Trent continues to look nervously down.
"You!" Brax yells and grips Trent by his shirt and yanks him in.
"Guys stop!" Mac yells, wanting to explain before they hurt him.
"No way! This guy tormented our little brother? Now it's our turn!" Heath hisses.
"Look I know I screwed up! I've come to apologise!" Trent yells out hoping that he will be released.
"You bet you screwed up! What makes you think you can treat someone like that!" Brax yells and pushes Trent into Heath and then he punches him in the stomach.
"Arghh." Trent groans as he holds his stomach.
"Why are you hanging out with this creep? He tormented Kyle!" Heath yells at Mac causing her to glare at him.
"Look, I know what he did was wrong! Believe me when I found out I was fuming and I dumped him. Then he explained to me how he's wanting to change." Mac explains and helps Trent to his feet.
"Look, can I please just explain." Trent says, surprising Heath and Brax with the tears in his eyes.
"Whatever, but we decide if you get to see Kyle!" Brax hisses. He grabs Trent by the shirt and shoves him onto the couch.
"Start talking!" Heath glares.
"Okay. Look I'm sorry! I know there's nothing that I can say that will ever make up for how I treated Kyle. I thought at the moment that it was just a little bit of fun." Trent says only to be interrupted by Brax.
"Yeah, and what you had a magically change of heart." Brax huffs.
"My dad used to beat me okay! He always told me that I was dumb and worthless! Kyle was the type of kid that…" he says but then stops.
Brax and Heath look at each other. "You were jealous about how smart Kyle was." Heath says.
"I know it sounds dumb, but I wanted to be as smart as he was, when I figured out I couldn't be. I lashed out and hurt him." Trent admits.
Brax and Heath look at each other again. That is the exact same reason that they bullied kids.
"Then my baby brother started being picked on at school, it was after I left so kids weren't scared to mess with him. Last year he attempted to take his own life. I've never felt so lost in my life. I really want to apologise to Kyle for ever treating him that way." Trent says causing the boys to sigh.
"What about those friends of yours. You still buddy buddy?" Brax questions causing Trent to shake his head.
"I keep in touch with Lewis, Katie and Anne. They've left the group as well but the rest of them are still the same. Vince and the twins tormented other students through university. But I had left the group by then." Trent says.
"Trent really has changed. All he wants to do is to make up for his past mistakes. We've started dating again and he no longer has a mean bone in his body." Mac says.
Heath nudges Brax and whispers in his ear. "Let's just give him a chance, we will be here. If Kyle doesn't want to hear it, we can tell him to piss off."
Brax nods his head. "Okay, you can talk to him, but if he's not interested you can fuck off and not come back okay?" Brax says glaring at him.
"Got it!" Trent nods his head as he grabs ahold of Macs hand.
…
Kyle and Tamara are now walking back home to see if Kyle can sweet talk Brax into letting them borrow the Ute.
"Thanks for letting me have three meals baby." Tamara grins as she looks up at Kyle who is carrying tamara's takeaway food.
"No worries babe, you can have one for lunch and one for afternoon tea." Kyle says as they walk into the driveway.
"Yum!" Tamara smiles.
"Looks like I'll have to talk to Brax about giving me more hours. I didn't think you'd eat that much." Kyle grins only to be hit on the arm by Tamara.
"Ow!" Kyle says with a smile on his face.
"You're lucky you're cute." Tamara smirks and pulls Kyle into a kiss.
The two of them keep on walking and eventually walk in the front door.
"Hey Brax! Can I borrow the." Kyle starts to say before he stops when he sees Trent. He almost drops Tamara's food in fear. "Trent." He stammers.
