~Chapter 18~

"Lets go to the mall tonight guys" Kristy said giddily, if anyone could match AJ's shopping skills it was she and they all knew that from experience. "I don't know if that is a good idea." Nick said. "I think it's a great idea, Let's go" AJ said jumping up from his chair. "Oh no, they are at it again" Brian groaned. Kristy and AJ ran out the door to Nick's Durango with him and Brian not too far behind. "Hey Nicky, can I drive?" "Umm, I don't know" Nick said cautiously. "Aww come on Nicky let me drive, I'll be good." Kristy grinned mischievously. "Fine, go ahead, just stop calling me Nicky" he groaned. "Thanks Nicky" "I got shotgun" AJ called out and raced around to the passenger side. "Hang on, I'll be right back" Kristy raced back in the house. "Wonder what she's doin'?" Brian shrugged and got into the back of the car. ~*~*~In The House~*~*~ "Kevin?", Kristy yelled, looking around the house. 'Where is he', she thought. "Kevin?" "What?" he said coming down the stairs. He seemed to be in a very good mood. "Want to come to the mall with us?" she asked. He was a little blown away by the question and the fact that she was still willing to do something with him. "Umm, I don't think the other guys would want me to go with you" he said. She couldn't tell if the tone in his voice was sad, or worried. "Who cares what they want, I think you and I need to talk, I want to know what is that would make you want to hurt Brian." Kristy said angrily. "Uh, Ok, I guess" he managed to stutter out. ~*~*~Outside~*~*~ The shock was obvious on all the guy's faces, especially Brian's when she came strolling out of the house with Kevin by her side. "AJ, can Kevin sit in the front with me" . He nodded and crammed in the back with Howie, Nick, and Brian. After a silent 20 minute drive to the mall everyone piled out of the car. "Sparkle, Can I talk to you for a second?" Brian said in a strange tone as he pulled her aside. "What is it?" "What the hell is he doing here?" he asked with anger in his voice. "That asshole tried to kill me, I would be happy if I didn't ever have to talk to him again". "Well sorry to tell you Babe, but that's not going to happen. He's your cousin and niether of you are going to avoid talking about what has happened. So come on, the three of us are going to hang out tonight whether you want to or not." She said sternly. "But…" "Uh unh, no buts around here except for this one" she laughed smacking him on the ass. "Ok guys, lets meet back here at 10:00, that gives us 4 hours to get whatever we want. AJ if your behind isn't out here by ten, you are going to be walking home. He fake pouted and he and Howie went into the mall. "I guess I'm shopping solo tonight" Nick said and left. "Ok you two, lets get going" Kristy commande Kevin and Brian. The two of them slowly made their way into the mall, one way in front of her, and one way behind her. They walked around for a while, until Kristy suddenly stopped. "What, why'd you stop?" Brian questioned. "We all need to talk" "Uuh, I have to go to the bathroom" Kevin spat out a began to walk towards the bathrooms. "Kev" Kristy yelled to him, he turned around, "Promise me that you will come back and talk to us" "I promise", he walked off. Brian and Kristy waited 10 minutes before they started to get aggrivated. "Bri, will you go get him?" "Why, I'm not the one who wants to talk to him", he answered. "Fine, I'll go get him myself", She walked towards the men's room and pushed the door open. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING KEVIN?" she screamed at him when she saw him leaning over the sink. ~**Chapter 19**~
