"I need a girlfriend!" Zac groaned. Taylor snorted with laughter.
"You're 12 years old. You don't need girls just yet... you wouldn't know what to do with one" Taylor said. Zac shot Taylor a dirty look.
"Yes I would. Just because you didn't like girls at my age doesn't mean that I don't." Zac said. Taylor rolled his eye's.
"Ike... our little bro is growing up" Taylor said to Isaac.
"Oh Shit!... betcha he'll have sex before he's 15" Isaac said, glancing up from the magazine he was looking through.
"Really?... do you really think that Ike?" Zac asked hopefully from the floor. The three boy's were sitting in the living room. They were the only one's home and the house was in a mess. They were supposed to be cleaning up. So far they had put the couch cushion's back on the sofa and then sat down. That was an hour ago. Taylor and Isaac cracked up.
"Zac you really are a moron" Taylor said, going red in the face from laughing so much. Zac was not amused.
"Well, how far have you gone with Kayla?" Zac asked. Hoping that Taylor would give some details. Taylor raised his eyebrow's.
"Why should I tell you?"
"Because you love me so much and you wanna let your little brother how far you've gotten with your girlfriend" Zac replied.
"Yeah Tay... how far have you gotten with her?" Isaac asked, a hint of interest in his voice.
"How far have you gotten with Jaymi?" Taylor shot back.
"You tell yours and I'll tell mine" Isaac said, grinning. Taylor sighed.
"Ok ok... She doesn't do much. She just lets me kiss her and touch her but I haven't seen anything yet"
"I've gotten further than you" Isaac said gleefully.
"Shut up Ike" Taylor said.
"Fine. I will. But now you don't get to hear what I've done with Jaymi" Isaac said.
"Iiiiiikeee! noooo. You can tell me! I don't want you to shut up" Zac spoke up.
"Have you had sex with her?" Taylor asked. "No"
"Well, nothing you have to say is going to interest me" Taylor said.
"It'll interest me! Don't listen to Tay... he's jealous!... well, I am to... but I still wanna hear!" Zac said.
"You're a pervert Zac" Taylor said.
"I am not!"
"Yes you are!"
"I am not"
"Zac, listen to me... you are"
"TAYLOR I AM NOT!" Zac yelled.
"Will both of you shut the hell up!" Isaac said.
"Tell me what you've done with Jaymi" Zac demanded
"Ok ok... we've come close to having sex but Jaymi backed out" Isaac said.
"Why?" Zac asked.
"How should I know?" Isaac asked.
"Well I still want a girlfriend" Zac said. The boy's then heard the car pull up in the driveway and they glanced at each other in horror, they then glanced around the living room.
"OH SHIT!" The three of them yelled and started to scramble around the house, trying to get it clean before their parent's and the rest of the family walked in.
-----------------------------------------------
"You were bad for me
I knew it from the start
But I loved you
And when we were apart,
My heart started callin,
callin out your name.
You were there in my mind
But that wasn't the same.
You treated me wrong
and you-" Jaymi's singing was cut off by the shrill ring of the phone.
"I'll get it!" Kayla yelled. The twin's were home alone because both Mrs. Bennet and Malcom were working. Kayla picked up the phone, hoping it was Taylor. It wasn't.
"Kayla? is that you?" A male voice asked.
"Dad?.... why are you calling? Malcom's not home" Kayla said.
"I wasn't calling to talk to him. I wanted to talk to you and Jaymi, to see how you're doing" Mr. Bennet said.
"We're fine. We're just great" Kayla lied, she felt her throat tightening. Jaymi walked up to her sister.
"Give me the phone" she mouthed.
"Uh, Dad... I'm gonna put Jaymi on now... bye" Kayla said and handed her sister the phone.
"Now you listen here. You can't just call us up after months of no contact with us. You can't come back into our lives that easily. You chose not to have us in your life so we don't want you in ours. We are getting along just fine without you and we don't need you so you can just go to hell!" Jaymi said and then hung up. "Come on... we're going to forget that he even called... he doesn't exist anymore ok?" Jaymi said to Kayla. Kayla swallowed and nodded slowly.
"What was that song you were singing?" Kayla asked.
"Just something I'm writing... " Jaymi said, walking back into her room and picking up her guitar. She picked up from where she was interrupted.
"You treated me wrong
And you drove me to my knees.
But you did treat me right sometimes,
You often aimed to please.
I'm crazy about you
I can't shake my love.
And there are times when I think
That you were a gift from above." Jaymi sang.
"That's all I've got for now" Jaymi said. Kayla smiled.
"That's good... I wonder why dad called"
"Don't know and don't care either. Are you going to see Taylor today?" Jaymi asked, wanting to change the subject. Kayla nodded.
"I have to meet him at the mall in about half an hour. What about you and Ike? are you gonna see each other?" Kayla asked. Jaymi shrugged.
"I would have no idea. If he comes over then fine. But I'm not going out anywhere."
"Oh" Kayla said, understanding why Jaymi didn't want to leave the house. It had been about a week since Robbie and his friends had kidnapped her. They had only gotten off with a warning, and Mark with a fine for attacking Jaymi, but because he didn't actually DO anything to her, they couldn't put him away. Jaymi had been furious when she had heard the verdict and she had broken down in court. Kayla checked her watch.
"I'm gonna go get ready to meet Tay... do you want anything from the mall?"
"How about 5 million tons of cherry ripe ice-cream?" Jaymi asked. Kayla laughed and shook her head. She then walked out of Jaymi's room and into her room to get ready. Jaymi sighed and flopped onto her bed. Suddenly the doorbell rang. Jaymi lifted her head and looked in the direction of her bedroom door, not attempting to get up. Kayla ran down to answer the door. Jaymi set down her head again and closed her eyes. A pair of lips were pressed firmly to hers a few minutes later and Jaymi smiled. She opened her eyes and found Isaac sitting next to her on her bed.
"Hey... how ya doin?" Isaac asked, he asked her that every day. Jaymi shrugged and sat up.
"I think I get a little better every day. I just have to force what happened out of my mind, it's not easy, but I know I have to live with it... I can't run and hide"
"Yeah... I'll be here for you ok?... and I'll never let anything happen to you again" Isaac said, wrapping Jaymi in his arm's. Jaymi sighed and nodded. She knew that Isaac still blamed himself for her being kidnapped.
"Ike..."
"Yeah?"
"Kayla's going out soon"
"Oh is she?" Isaac asked. Jaymi nodded.
"Yep.. we can have some time alone"
"That's good"
"I know" Jaymi said. With that she gently planted her lips onto Isaac's and kissed him. Isaac tightened his hold on Jaymi and laid her down on her bed.
