Not everyone can be happy..

~*~A few hours later~*~

"Hey you almost ready?" Brandi asked walking into Clarissa's room.

"Yeah..yep I think I got it all…" Clarissa said looking over the pile of bags on her bed.

" Well I guess you are… how long do you think your gonna stay…a YEAR?!" Brandi asked as she saw the five bags laid out on Clarissa's bed.

"haha..nope..I just wanna be prepared."

" You have fun okay." Brandi said hugging her sister.

" You know I will try."

" If you guys need anything…anything at all just call…okay"

" yeah we will"

"HEY…theirs BIG SIS…" Lisa yelled running into the room…"Now when you see a guy with a nice tan do not hesitate." Lisa said hugging Clarissa.

" You know me." Clarissa said giving a sly smile then Ike walked in.

" He babe you ready?" He asked just as Tay stepped out from behind him. But Brandi did not see this because she had her head turned before he came into view, Zac then walked in.

" Yeah hunny." Clarissa told him.

" Okay well say your good byes cuz we are so out'a here…hey you guys help me" Ike said. Brandi then turned around to see Taylor pick two of the huge bags up. They both made eye contact with eachother…Taylor looked at her like he wanted to speak but he didn't.

" Sissy you have a good time…Ike take care of her ya hear." Brandi said then ran downstairs making her way right pass Tay but didn't even look at him. When she got downstairs and then she sat down on the couch and just sat there.

"What up with her?" Ike asked confused by the way she scurried out of the room.

" Ike…" Clarissa said looking at Tay…" I'll tell ya about it later…com`on hunny we don't wanna miss our flight." She said grabbing her purse and walking downstairs.

' Did you do something?" Ike asked looking at Tay.

" No." Tay replied.

"Like HELL you didn't." Zac said raising his tone of voice as he grab a bag of Clarissa's and walked downstairs and out the door to place the bag in the back of Ike's car.

" What the hell is he talkin about?" Ike asked.

" Nothin…you know how Zac is." Tay quickly said and walked out the door just as Zac had. Tay knew that if Ike found out just what all he had done Ike would just about kick his ass. Ike and Taylor's Dad had always told him that you should treat women like they are special and that nothing else in the world mattered …almost as if they were gods of some sort. But Tay hadn't, he treated Brandi as if she were a dog.

Ike soon went downstairs with Clarissa's last bag, placed it in the back of the car, then him and Clarissa go tin the car and waved good-bye.

" BYE GUYS!!" Lisa, Zac, and Tay all said while Brandi stood in the doorway and just waved bye.

AN:: These next few lines are written in first person point of view and Brandi tells it….so the person talking will be Brandi.

They all came inside where I was. Lisa frist, still giving me that look of disgust, Taylor next…he walked in as if he wanted to say something to me…but I guess he chickened out because he said nothing, he just looked and walked on by. Zac then walked in. He came up and whispered something in my ear. I can't really remember what he said but I know that it was funny because I remember giggling alittle. Then he placed his arms around my waist pulling me close, kissing my lips softly. Then placing a strand of my hair behind my ear, I remember that so clearly because it was at that moment that I saw Tay staring at me. He looked as if he wanted me to stop kissing Zac and come running into his arms. But no…Taylor was not the kind to break down and give in. Lisa on the other hand got up and walked out. Where she went to I have no idea but I remember hearing the ignite turn as she speeded out of the driveway. Taylor then got up and left. I suppose he went home. I'm not sure though. But I do remember one thing…he was not happy. And I hated seeing him that way…I really and truly did. But I mean look what he did to me…what was I suppose to do…just drop Zac like Tay had done to me. I couldn't bear put someone through all that hreatach.
