"Kay... is anything wrong?" Jaymi asked that night as the twins were doing the washing up.
"Should anything be wrong?" Kayla asked coldly as she squirted some more detergent onto the sponge and started scrubbing at a pot.
"No" Jaymi said slowly, wondering what had flew up her sisters nose and made a home there.
"Well, nothing's wrong" Kayla said but by the sound of her voice Jaymi could tell that something was wrong with Kayla. She shrugged it off. She'll cool down later Jaymi thought.
"Did you get a good pair of roller blades?" Jaymi asked, trying to start a conversation.
"I didn't go"
"Why not?"
"None of your damn business." Kayla snapped. She then flung the sponge into the sink and stormed out of the kitchen. Leaving Jaymi to finish washing up.
"Dumb bitch" Jaymi muttered as she finished washing everything and then proceeded in drying the dishes. Suddenly Isaac's face popped into her mind and she smiled. Nothing had gone on at the movie and Jaymi was kinda disappointed but she was kinda happy to. She liked Taylor and she was now starting to like Isaac. Isaac wasn't as shy as what Taylor was... Taylor was more Kayla's type than hers. She wondered if Isaac was a good kisser. Taylor was, once he had gotten the hang of it. "Great... I like two guy's and now I have to choose... bloody hell" Jaymi said. It wasn't the first time it had happened. But it was the first time that both guy's had been brothers. She sighed and walked out of the kitchen. She walked up to her room and flopped onto her bed. Kayla was pissed off at her for a reason that Jaymi did not know and now she like two guy's who were brothers. She then decided then and there to spend time with each boy and then decide who she liked better.
------------------------------------
"Where were you today?" Taylor asked Isaac as he walked into their bedroom.
"Keeping tabs on where I am every minute of the day?" Isaac asked.
"No... but you said that you would only be an hour or so and you were gone for four" Taylor said.
"God, if you really must know I went and saw a movie with Jaymi" Isaac said.
"YOU WHAT?" Taylor yelled, surprising Isaac.
"What's so bad about that?"
"Everything! Ike, Jaymi's mine!" Taylor cried.
"Slow down here. Who said anything about Jaymi being yours?" Isaac said, starting to get angry.
"I saw her first!"
"I get it... you like her don't you?"
"Yes!"
"Well, so do I Tay... look's like I've got a little competition... Ahh.. you're easy to beat" Isaac said. Taylor glared at him.
"Have you kissed her?" Taylor asked.
"What kind of question is that?"
"Have you?"
"Not yet"
"HA! I have... or more like she kissed me!" Taylor said triumphantly. Isaac burst out laughing.
"She kissed you?... yeah right" Isaac laughed.
"She did Ike" Taylor said through clenched teeth. Isaac's laughter stopped.
"You're telling the truth aren't you?" he asked. Taylor nodded.
"Ahh shit" Isaac said as he climbed up to his bed and sat down on it.
"Are you gonna keep away from Jaymi?" Taylor asked.
"Are you kidding?... no way. Why don't you ask Kayla out?" Isaac asked.
"Because I like Jaymi... why don't you ask Kayla out?" Taylor said.
"Because I like Jaymi" Isaac said. Taylor groaned in frustration. Taylor was determined to make Jaymi his... and nothing would stand in his way. And Isaac felt the same.
--------------------------------------
Kayla looked at her watch through tear filled eyes. It was 7:45 pm. why can't I stop crying? she thought. Then she knew why... her heart had been broken. That's why.
"I thought he liked me" Kayla whispered. Once she had read Taylor's note to Jaymi she had called him and cancelled their afternoon saying that she wasn't feeling well. Taylor had sounded disappointed and Kayla had wondered if he really was. "I know he like's me... as a friend... that's all I'll ever be to him" she said bitterly. She walked over and pulled open her window. The night was a warm one and Kayla decided to go rollerblading. She changed her clothes from a sun dress to a pair of denim shorts and a lose t-shirt. She found her roller blade's at the back of her closet and clomped down stairs to the front door. Mrs. Bennet was out so she told Malcom where she was going.
"Don't be to long ok?" Malcom said. Kayla rolled her eye's and smiled. She could be friendly to her brother. He hadn't stolen the boy she liked.
"Ok... I'll only be an hour or so ok?" Kayla said. Malcom nodded and went back to the t.v programme he was watching. Once Kayla got outside and was on her way, she felt a lot better. She headed towards the park that was nearby that had a path that she could skate along. As she was skating she spotted Taylor walking on the path. She lowered her eye's and suddenly hit a rock and fell to the ground. "Oh shit.." Kayla said when she saw Taylor running towards her.
"Are you ok?" Taylor asked as he knelt down next to Kayla.
"Yeah... my ankle hurts though... but I don't think it's broken" Kayla said, starting to un buckle her left roller blade.
"No! keep it done up. You don't want it to swell up. Can you stand?" Taylor asked.
"I don't know! I haven't tried have I?" Kayla snapped. Taylor figured that her ankle really hurt so he didn't take notice of Kayla's remark.
"Try to then" Taylor said, standing up and giving Kayla his hand to hold on to. As soon as she stood up she cried out in pain.
"Aghhh.... it hurts real bad" She said, lifting her leg so that the pressure would be taken off of her injured ankle. She started to wobble on the leg she was standing on and then began to fall. Taylor grabbed her waist and stopped her from falling. He then picked her up.
"Hey! what are you doing?" Kayla asked.
"Taking you home... you can't skate on that ankle" Taylor said, looking into Kayla's eye's. Taylor then noticed that Kayla's legs were the same as Jaymi's... he liked that. He started walking and Kayla put her arm across the back of his shoulders.
"Are you sure you can carry me all the way home?" Kayla asked , positive that he would drop her any minute.
"Sure, you're very light... even with roller blade's on" Taylor said, smiling. Kayla smiled back at Taylor and Taylor thought that his leg's would give way. Hang on.. this is Kayla... not Jaymi... it's Jaymi I like... Taylor thought. Kayla then rested her head on Taylors shoulder and closed her eye's. Taylor smiled again. He reached Kayla's house and gently set her down on her feet. She grabbed hold of his shoulder and lifted her left ankle.
"Ouch!" She exclaimed as she tried to set her foot down, but the slightest bit of pressure on her ankle hurt like hell.
"Let's get you inside and get some ice on that ankle." Taylor said and before Kayla could protest , Taylor had lifted her up again and carried her inside into the living room where Malcom was watching a movie. He looked up in supprise when the two of them came in.
"What's going on?" He questioned the two. Taylor smiled.
"Injury..." He said as he set Kayla down onto the couch.
"I...ahh...fell over and hurt my ankle.." Kayla told her brother, blushing slightly. Malcom rolled his eyes and went into the kitchen to get some ice for his sister.
"You didn't have to do that you know" Kayla said suddenly.
"Do what?" Taylor asked, confused. Kayla smiled again and the same feeling came over Taylor. Why does that always happen when she smiles....that beautiful smile..? Taylor thought to himself.
"Bring me home...I would have managed.." Kayla said looking down at the floor. Maybe he does like me after all!...but what about the letter...he LOVES Jaymi...Kayla became bitter once again just thinking about the letter.
"Well, it was no problem...I was happy to do it" Taylor said, a huge smile on his face.
"In hopes you might see Jaymi?" Kayla asked, her eyes suddenly cold.
"Huh?"
"Nothing, look, I'll be ok...you should go home now...your parents might be wondering where you are" Kayla said, hoping Taylor would get the message and leave. He did.
"Ok...I'll call tomorrow ok?" He asked.
"Yeah, whatever" Kayla mumbled. Taylor was confused and hurt, why had she became cold and distant? Taylor asked himself but he could find no answer. He started to walk out the front door when a voice called his name.
"TAY! Hi..what are you doing here?" Jaymi asked him as she came walking down the stairs.
"I ahh, brought Kayla home, she hurt her ankle...I have to go...cya" He said and rushed out the door, slamming it behind him.
"What was that?" Jaymi said to herself and walked into the living room. finding her sister on the couch, her left ankle up on a pillow, with ice wrapped around it. "Hey, what happened?"
"Why should you care?" Kayla snapped at her sister. Jaymi's face filled with anger.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!" She shouted at Kayla. Kayla looked up at her, anger in her face as well, but Jaymi could also see hurt and hatred in her grey-blue eyes.
"NOTHING! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kayla yelled back.
"NO! I will not leave you alone until you tell me the truth! what is bothering you!?!" Jaymi exclaimed.
"Jaymi...Im going to count to three, and if you aren't out of my face by then I am going to hit you like no one's bloody hit you before!" Kayla said calmly. Jaymi was shocked. Kayla had never threatened her before.
"Fine..I'm going" She said and walked up to her room, tears stinging her eyes.
