"Will my heart stop crying?
Will my pain ease?
Why did you have to hurt me?
I'm asking you to tell me please.
I tell people that I'm angry
That nothing else applies
But my heart is in two
You said nothing but lies." Kayla sang softly to herself. It had been
about a month since Kayla and Taylor's break up and Kayla was miserable.
Kayla was lying on her bed, the only one home. Malcom was out with his
new girlfriend and Jaymi was over at Isaac's. Mrs.Bennet was still at
work. Kayla looked at her watch 4:25 pm. "Agh... I don't wanna do
homework" Kayla mumbled. But she sat up and walked to her desk and sat
down. She started on the math problems she had to do but her eye's began
to wonder. Her eye's rested on a particular Hanson poster that was her
favourite. She had left her Hanson posters up simply because Isaac and
Zac were in them. If it had just been Taylor she would have taken them
down. "Who am I kidding? I can't get over him!" Kayla said, staring at
Taylor's smiling face in the poster. She ran through the conversation
that she and Jaymi had had the previous night...
"You sill like him don't you?"
"What makes you say that?" Kayla had asked.
"Because whenever I get home from seeing Isaac you bombard me with questions about Taylor"
"I'm just seeing if he's regretting what he did" Kayla said.
"Well, he is"
"Good"
"Kayla!" Jaymi said.
"What?"
"Go back to him! he's miserable without you and your miserable without him"
"I'm not going back to him Jaymi. Not now not ever. I can't trust him! He proved that to me, didn't he?" Kayla said. ... Kayla shook her head and snapped herself out of her thoughts.
"Not now not ever" Kayla said softly.
----------------------------------------------------
You're going tomorrow?" Jaymi demanded.
"Yup... but just to New York, then New Jersey, then Texas then-"
"IKE! stop! I don't wanna hear where you're going!" Jaymi cried.
"Well fine then." Isaac said, insulted. Jaymi sighed.
"I didn't mean it that way and you know it. It's just that you're alway's gone for so long and then you only come home for a few days" She said.
"Well, Jaymi you knew what you were getting into when we started being together. It'll be a while before we can spend a good few weeks at home. And then we're going on tour again" Isaac said. The two of them were sitting on the couch in Isaac's house. They were the only one's home. Taylor had gone with Zac to see C.J and Walker, Diane and the kids were out shopping for Zac's birthday.
"What's with this?" Jaymi asked, deciding to change the subject. She tugged lightly on Isaac's shirt, which was tucked into his pants.
"What? oh... we had to go visit one of our many great Aunts today... Mom wanted us to look half decent... as she put it." Isaac replied as he started to kiss Jaymi. Jaymi kissed Isaac back and let herself be lowered by him so that she was lying on the couch. Jaymi tugged at Isaac's shirt, pulling it so that it became untucked. Isaac stopped kissing Jaymi and then pulled his shirt off.
"Man are you two lucky that it's me who's come home and not Mom and Dad" Taylor said, walking into the lounge room. Both Isaac and Jaymi sat up. Isaac grabbed his shirt and pulled it back on.
"Ever heard of the word 'privacy'?" Isaac snapped. Taylor looked like he was thinking it over.
"Umm.. have I?... yeah I think I have... it's just that this room was not meant for private things so I have a right to be here... without you two getting into each others pants" Taylor said. Jaymi could feel her face going red.
"Shut up Tay... god you're as bad as Zac" Isaac said.
"As if... that boy's sex mad... C.J better watch out"
"What do you mean C.J better watch out?" Jaymi demanded.
"Well, think about it Jay... he's nearly thirteen... it won't be long before he's asking C.J to do it with him." Taylor replied.
"What! Oh my god... what has C.J gotten herself into?.... Zac better not make her do anything she doesn't want to do... I don't care that he's your brother-"
"Not by choice" Taylor interupted
"As I said... I don't care that he's your brother... I'll kill him... I mean it.. if he hurts C.J then I'll kill him" Jaymi said. She then glanced at Taylor. "You're lucky I didn't kill you" She added.
"What's that suposed to mean?" Taylor asked. Jaymi shrugged.
"Think about it Taylor... you hurt Kayla... I know you didn't hurt her physically but emotionally you have torn her apart. She was so much in love with you.. she still is-"
"Well if she was still in love with me why did she break up with me?" Taylor demanded.
"Geez Tay! you really are as stupid as Isaac say's you are!-"
"Whoa! hang on a minute here Jaymi... I didn't say that Taylor was stupid... I said he did some stupid things" Isaac said for his defence.
"Whatever.. the point is.. you cheated on her Taylor... now, that's something I might be able to forgive- don't you go getting any ideas Ike- but you know Kayla.. she won't fogive that very easily. You should know that Taylor!"
"Yeah, but I miss her so much! If I could, I would take back the whole thing! I hate myself for doing this to her!" Taylor said.
"Well, tell her that!" Jaymi exclaimed.
"She wont listen to me! Don't you think I've tried!" Taylor cried, his voice rising.
"OK, we've gone through this before, both of you calm down!" Isaac said. Jaymi and Taylor had talked like this before, and it ended up in a screaming match, several times. Jaymi looked at her watch.
"I better get home, I still have to get ready for dinner, I'll see you guys in a few hours." She said, getting up from the couch. Isaac followed her out to the front hall. Jaymi retruned the kiss Isaac leant in to give her. "I better go, bye...love you" She whispered.
"Love you more" Isaac whispered back. She smiled and walked out the front door.
----------------------------------------------------
"Kayla you're going" Mrs. Bennet said firmly to her daughter. "Now hurry up and get dressed".
"Mooooooooooooooom...I don't feel like it! I have a head ache, a stomach ache and I think I'm coming down with the flu.." Kayla said, trying every illness she could think of. Mrs. Bennet shook her head.
"I don't want to hear it Kayla! You are going and that's final...do you hear me Kayla Leigh?" Kayla nodded, knowing that her mother meant every word she was saying when she used both names. Mrs. Bennet walked out of the room, leaving Kayla to get ready. Kayla sighed.
"I don't see why I have to go! I haven't seen them for ages, it's not as if I'm going to miss them or anything!" Kayla mumbled to herself, knowing full well that she would miss them all, including Taylor. She wouldn't admit it to anyone though. Kayla changed into a light blue singlet top, with black straps and a pair of boot-cut denim jeans. She then grabbed her purple doc martain boots and walked out of her room.
"Hey! So you're coming?" Malcom asked his sister. Kayla nodded.
"Mom's forcing me to...where's Jaymi?" She asked him. Malcom shrugged his shoulders.
"Last time I saw her she was heading over to Isaac's, but she should be home soon" He said, walking past Kayla to his room. Kayla herd the front door slam and then Jaymi's voice.
"I'M HOME!" She called out.
"Ok sweetie...hurry up and get ready! We are leaving in 20 minutes!" Mrs. Bennet called from the kitchen. Kayla sighed. She didn't really want to go out tonight...but on the other hand she did. She hadn't talked to Taylor for nearly a month and she was curious as to what he had been up to. Sure she had asked Jaymi about him, but she never gave much away..and the conversation alway's ended up with Jaymi telling her to call him or go see him. Kayla wasn't ready to do that. She put on her boots and went into the bathroom to put on alittle make-up. Soon she was ready and had nothing to do. She found Jaymi in the bathroom.
"So...how was Ike?" She asked her. Jaymi looked at her through the mirror.
"Fine..and in answer to your next two questions, yes Tay was there and he was fine to."
"Oh...how do you know I was going to ask that?" Kayla said, pretending to be surprised. Jaymi raised an eye-brow.
"Because you always do! Kayla, he misses you...he really does want you back...and he regrets what he done! why don't you give him another chance? He's miserable without you..and you are without him!" Jaymi said, truning to face her sister. Kayla rolled her eyes.
"Jaymi...I don't care! I'm glad he's miserable! He should be! How can I give him another chance when I don't trust him? I'm never going to be with him again and that's final! I don't want you to bring it up again!" Kayla said. By the tone of her voice, Jaymi knew that her twin was serious.
