Episode 343
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Wheres the groom? Angela couldnt help but ask in
a muted whisper leaning in over Brants shoulder. You would have
thought hed be out here already unless of course he got cold feet.
If he did well be getting out of here a whole hell of a lot faster,
Brant chuckled in response thinking about all hed learned about Sarah.
It would prove that Kyle is a lot smarter than I gave him credit for.
Yeah well whatever the circumstance, I hope when we have our big day
that you wont be getting cold feet, Angela warned him in a firm
tone, or else I may have to hunt you down and kill you.
Hmm, in most instances that would cause me great concern, but from you
that sounds oddly erotic, he teased tilting his head to the side and
curling his arm around her shoulders.
Only you would think that way, she wrinkled her nose in response
placing her hand on his thigh as she leaned in closer to him, and thats
simply because you have such a dirty mind.
Gee, I cant imagine why, he inched forward stealing a quick
kiss from her lips, Could it be because you seem to have this way about
you to bring out the worst in me?
I was hoping it was your best, she mused kissing him again with
a bit more hunger behind it than the first one had, though if what Ive
seen is your worst, well I cant wait to see it get better.
It gets better each and every time were together, he snaked
his arm around her further sliding her in closer to him on the pew they were
seated on.
I cant argue that one, she nipped at his lower lip, her
thoughts dwindling from the wedding altogether when she heard the music shift.
She then realized that they were seated in a church and not alone with one
another. Perking her head up, she could see some of the stares that they were
getting from the crowd. She dropped her head again and spoke up in a small
whisper, Maybe we should cool things down for a little bit. We dont
want to take away from the wedding in front of us.
To hell with the wedding, Brant replied, his dark eyes ravenous
as he held onto her, Id rather get out of here and go home with
you and have our own celebration.
Soon, very soon, she promised wiping at his lower lip with the
pad of her thumb. She opened her mouth to say something more when her dark
eyes fell upon the front of the church. Spotting a familiar face out of the
corner of her eye, she couldnt help but gasp.
What? Brant asked worriedly seeing the change in her. His arm
immediately moved away from her and his hand pressed in over her abdomen,
Is something wrong?
I just
Angelas jaw dropped as she found herself staring
directly at Nick as he stood at the front of the church next to
another man. I am
I mean
What? Brant frowned turning his head in the direction of where
she was looking. Is something wrong? Did you see something?
No, I just
she sank down in her seat trying to hider herself
before Nick saw her. I mean maybe you were onto something
with this whole leaving the wedding thing. Its not really my idea of
a good time considering that I dont really know any of these people
and
Hey half of this town hates me anyways, Brant shrugged his shoulders
seeing Grady and Russ standing in front of the whole church, Besides,
Id rather not have to witness those two jackasses playing saints in
front of this town when I know they are far from it.
You know them? Angela practically gulped with a sudden fear.
Unfortunately, Brant nodded pointing over at Grady, That
jerk has been nothing short of a pain in my rear for the last few months and
him
Panic floored over Angela as he motioned to Russ then looked back to her,
Well lets just say that hes got a knack for screwing up
my life more often than not, he revealed to her.
Why do you say that? she couldnt help but ask sinking further
down into the seat.
Lets just say that hes the one that my wife left me for,
Brant scowled shooting an icy glare over at Russ, and to make matters
worse I just found out that jackass is my half brother and
Your half brother? Angela repeated the color draining completely
from her face.
Yeah, I know its a really messed up situation, but Im doing
my best to ignore it. Besides in his coming back to town, Avery leaving me
opened my life up for the best thing that I couldve ever hoped for and
that was finding you again, Brants gaze left Russ and returned
to Angela again. He noticed how pale she was and he reached out to touch her
cheek gently, Hey are you sure youre feeling okay?
Actually I think I would really just like to go home, Angela started
uneasiness pouring out over her, Im feeling a little bit nauseated
and
Hey, we dont have to stay, Brant promised reassuringly,
I can just let Don know were leaving and
Ill just go wait outside, Angela began again ready to say
something more when the music changed and Sarah appeared at the doorway blocking
her quick exit. In a panic Angela dropped down into her seat, leaning in against
Brant in the hopes that once the bride made it down the aisle she could find
her way out of the church and away from Brant ever finding out about the man
she failed to mention to him upon their reunion. If he found out about what
happened when she was with Nick especially knowing what she did
about him being Brants half brother she knew full well that there was
about to be trouble--big trouble!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Are we good? Grady questioned rubbing his hands together seeing
Kellen step in behind him getting in position for the wedding to start as
they looked down the isle hearing the small whispers of people as they waited.
Kyle all good?
Kyle is more than good, Kellen smiled looking over in the corner
of the room to see the worker he had asked to come into the room with the
television they ordered to be there. Hell be here in a matter
of moments.
Everything will be going as planned, Grady inhaled deeply looking
around the room of people before folding his hands out in front of him hearing
Kellen let out what sounded like a deep worried breath.
Whats wrong with you, I thought this was your kind of thing?
I dont know, Im just a little nervous, Kellen half
whispered seeing Gradys green eyes widen as if he was shocked to hear
what he admitted. What? You try to pull all this off almost by yourself
Grady. Ive had to practice my speech over and over. I just dont
want to stutter or anything.
The only way you will is if you keep thinking about that, Grady
tried to keep his words in a whisper as he turned to see Kellen a bit better
as people waited for the ceremony to begin. If you are always worrying
about something, you arent going to let your true feelings out. If you
say something while youre worried, the words get all jumbled up and
you dont get to say what you really mean.
I see, Kellens eyebrows perked up as Grady took in a deep
breath and stared out into the crowd toward Deana as Kellen moved forward
and placed his hand on Gradys shoulder. This sounds like its
coming from someone who knows off hand they didnt say the right thing.
If only you knew little buddy, Grady took in a deep breath before
hearing the music start to play and they straightened up wiping off their
jackets. I just wish at the time when Im put on the spot I would
be better with my words and not always mess up when Im around the things
that mean the most to me.
Well then, let me give you some advice about that, Kellen moved
in closer to Grady whispering so he could hear him in the back of his ear.
If its the case I think youre talking about--dont
talk with your head talk with your heart. If you seriously love someone and
dont want them hurt then you will say anything when your heart is the
one thinking.
Then I guess thats how you should be when you do your speech,
Grady muttered seeing Kellen nod slowly before Kellens blue eyes stared
out toward the isle. Since the people involved mean so much to you,
I know you wouldnt want them hurt.
Youre exactly right, Kellen agreed taking in a deep breath
and reaching down to fix his tie hearing the music change telling him that
the girls would be there soon and Kellen smiled widely seeing everyone turn
their attention toward the isle. You know, I never got this part of
a wedding. The woman walks down the isle and everyone is looking the other
way. I could do random stuff up here and possibly moon them and they would
never know. Just because the music changes they are all looking away.
Thats because its what they are meant to do, Grady
half whispered as everyone was still turned toward the other way and he saw
Kellen throw his hands up in the air waving them around. The attention
is supposed to be on the bride. Stop it.
What? Kellen half laughed seeing Gradys green eyes glaring
out at him as Kellen turned around and pulled up his suit jacket wiggling
his butt over and over again as he looked back to see Seth staring out at
him letting out a small laugh and he straightened up. Seth tried to hold back
his laugh as he shook his head slowly and looked back toward the doors. Okay,
that was stupid on my part. Im sorry.
Hey, I wasnt the one that got embarrassed you did, Grady
half laughed seeing the color in Kellens cheeks rise as he looked down
toward the ground and stomped his right foot on the flower than had fallen
earlier. Dont worry about it. Im sure that Seth was the
only one that saw you or just laughed.
Its not funny, Kellen bit down on his bottom lip trying
to hold back the embarrassment he had been feeling now that someone had actually
caught him being stupid. Fixing his tie he let out a long breath tired of
waiting for everything to be happening. Why are they taking so long?
Kellen, you should know that women take forever getting ready,
Grady looked back seeing Kellen nod slowly before taking in a deep breath
going to say something else as Grady paused him. Even if we take longer.
Good point, Kellen half nodded only to see Blake walk down the
isle and he straightened up knowing that Sarah would be next as Blake gave
a half confused glance seeing no Kyle and Kellen smiled widely. This
is going to be great.
Hearing the brides music start to begin he stepped down one step seeing
Sarah start to walk down the isle and he looked back at Grady seeing Grady
smiling widely as Kellen rubbed his hands together. Seeing Sarah reach them
he heard the whispers of confusion as Sarah looked around.
Where is Kyle? she questioned seeing Grady look to Kellen as Kellen
bit down on his bottom lip and pushed back his hair seeing the way that she
was staring out at him. Hearing the music stop as Kellen pointed toward the
guy holding onto the rolling stand for the television motioning him to move
forward. Kellen?
Right, everyone over here, Kellen snapped seeing everyone look
forward toward him as he unbuttoned his jacket and pulled it off throwing
it to the side. Starting to undo his tie he pulled that off too and threw
it by his jacket before moving down toward the floor grabbing a hold of the
stand before looking back at Sarah. I bet you have noticed that there
is no groom. You might think he isnt here, including you Sarah, but
truth of the matter is he is very much here.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
This is kind of different, Wendy walked down the stairs seeing
Ken waiting for her as he sat on the bottom step playing with his keys as
she took a seat next to him. Im usually used to a full house here
and everything.
Right, he took in a sharp breath seeing the way she looked over
at him as he shrugged his shoulders and moved over toward the window to look
outside of it. I guess everyone is just more excited to leave and do
away with their own plans in their future.
Thats okay, Wendy half smiled moving forward and placing
her hand in over the curve of Kens shoulder, seeing him look back at
her over his shoulder. Were here together and thats all
that matters. Where making a future of our own, Im not sure how long
that will be, but
,
It will be longer than you think, Ken pressed his right hand in
over her mouth gently before shaking his head and motioning toward the back
door wanting her to follow him as he took in a deep breath. I dont
want you thinking about things like that right now, I just want you to come
with me. I have something to show you.
In the backyard? she questioned seeing the way he nodded and smiled
as he led her through the yard and in the back toward the garden. Seeing her
curious eyes following their every move Ken led her through the bushes as
she saw a small picnic set up by one of the garden statues they had. A
picnic? I love it. Its nice and quiet
,
Even though everyone else is gone and the house would have been just
as quiet, Ken half laughed taking a seat and seeing her do the same
as he reached out to grab a water bottle and hand it to her. I know
I could have done something better, but this might be just as good.
Anything from you Ken is great, she half whispered accepting the
bottle before looking down toward the ground feeling him move in closer and
nudge her gently. This is amazing Ken, I appreciate everything that
you have done for me so far.
It was just for the person I love, Ken half replied seeing the
way she looked out at him with her dark eyes as he reached out slowly to caress
her cheek with his thumb. I just want you to have the best life you
can have.
You mean with the time I have left? she questioned with a small
laugh seeing him frown as she looked away from him, feeling his fingers pushing
back her hair gently. Listen, I know that you want to do everything
possible to get me better, but its not going to work Ken. Im sick
and I will always be sick
,
I dont want to hear this Wendy, Ken shook his head slowly
pressing his index finger against her lips gently before inhaling deeply thinking
about all the events that took place to get him to her. Deep down I
know you dont want to hear about it either, so lets just think
about it this way. Ill stay off that topic as long as you stay off that
topic.
Im just saying, she shook her head slowly knowing that there
was no possible way to try and understand everything that was happening between
them, only to accept it deep down. I havent been able to give
into passion in a long time and
,
Well lets make it present, Ken leaned in closer to her caressing
her neck gently with his fingertips before moving in to press a small kiss
against her lips feeling her fingers curve in over his shoulder. Wendy,
do you remember when we were younger and
,
Ken, that was a long time ago and truthfully, that wasnt really
romantic, she pointed out seeing him nod as he got up slowly and reached
for her pulling her into his arms before walking back toward the house. Ken,
what are you doing?
Wendy, Im going to let you feel that passion you feel you have
been missing, Ken muttered seeing the way her eyes looked up into his
and he pulled her in closer to him hearing her gasp out. And Im
going to make it as romantic as possible.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
You call a circus a fun time? Evie questioned with a small laugh
getting out of JTs car seeing the way he walked in next to her grabbing
a hold of her hand. Ive never seen someone thinking that was a
good thing.
Well, I figured you wanted to learn more about me so Im actually
bringing you to the place that I used to work at, he informed her seeing
her look over at him with her chocolate eyes as he nodded slowly and offered
up a wide smile. Please tell me that you arent afraid of clowns.
No, of course not, she half laughed seeing the way he looked out
at her as she took in a deep breath and looked out toward the circus as they
walked in closer toward the place. I just have never really been to
one in a long time. My dad was always busy doing god knows what and, just
never mind. About this circus, what did you do here?
I was the clean up guy sometimes and other things the next, he
answered with a half laugh feeling her fingers tighten around his as he walked
through the gates knowing that they were going to let him in considering he
pulled a few phone calls to get them in so he had to get the manager to get
him to remember him. In all honesty, when I was younger I told you--I
wasnt the best of guys. The worst part was one time I was so out of
it that I guess I actually came into an elephant act thinking it was over
and fell right in the elephant
,
Oh god no, she half laughed covering her mouth as he nodded slowly
and saw her look away from him and he shrugged his shoulders. And Ive
kissed you?
Believe me, I was in the bath soaking for weeks, he informed her
with a wide smile knowing that it was going to gross her out but he couldnt
help but tease her. How about we stop here, I was always pretty good
at this game.
Throwing balls? she questioned seeing him nod slowly before she
took in a deep breath seeing him look back at her with a small frown as she
shrugged. Ive always liked soccer and surfing better. Baseball
isnt that bad though.
Well, how about I try and then you? he offered up seeing her shrug
before he moved forward and paid for the both of them before grabbing three
balls and aiming, hitting the top bottle with first ball and then missed the
next. Hearing her laugh he looked back at her and shook his head slowly. Okay
fine, watch this.
Im watching, she nodded slowly seeing him wind up and catch
a hold of all the bottles with the last throw and he let out a small laugh
holding his hands up in the air in victory. You got a small one.
Its not size that matters, he pointed out hearing her let
out a small chuckle as he got one of the small stuffed animals and motioned
her to go ahead as she picked up the ball and looked it over slowly. Just
throw the ball
,
And we have a winner, the man boasted proudly seeing the way that
Evie threw the ball knocking down all the bottles on her first throw as JT
let out a half laugh seeing the huge dog stuffed animal she got as she smiled.
Nice arm.
I told you it was easy, she half laughed pulling the stuffed animal
in closer to her hearing him let out another unsure laugh as she looked over
at him seeing the way he took in a small breath. What is it JT?
Ive never been beat in that before, thats all, JT
blushed putting his stuffed animal in his pocket and taking in a deep breath
as he looked around for a moment grabbing a hold of her hand. Come here
I want to show you something. You see there is this one thing they have. Its
a simulated ride where it like takes you through this storm and you actually
feel like
,
No, she pulled her hand away from him seeing the way his eyes
looked out at her as she shook her head slowly and held harder onto the stuffed
animal as she looked away from him. I just dont want anything
to do with storms okay? Nothing with lightening and
,
Okay, no problem, he hushed her reaching out to wrap his arm around
her shoulders trying to calm her down as he pressed a small kiss against her
forehead. How about the Ferris wheel? Does that sound okay to you?
Sure, she tried to keep eye contact away from him as she felt
her heart hammering in her chest at the very mention of a storm and she shook
her head slowly. Walking with him she stopped seeing a strawberry treat that
caught her eyes. What is that?
Oh this? JT smiled widely pulling her gently over toward the table
seeing the way her eyes lit up at the very sight of strawberries and he let
out a small laugh. Well, actually--I dont know what they are but
they are amazing.
Well anything strawberry sounds great to me, she pointed out with
a wide smile before reaching for her purse only to see him shake his head
and pull out his wallet. Thanks and after this we can go to the Ferris
wheel and you could show me whatever else you did here. I just want to focus
on these strawberries right here.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
So everyone, would you please turn your attention toward the television, Kellen went to push play before looking back at Sarah seeing the confusion behind her eyes as the whispers of the crowd rose above. That includes you Sarah.
Still hearing the whispers of the crowd Kellen hushed them and rubbed his
hands together before pushing play and stepping away from the television seeing
that he had caught everyones attention as of right now. Seeing Sarah
walk down the steps and move to see the television she saw Kyle flicker onto
the television as Kellen smiled.
Hello everyone, I bet you are where Im at right now. Well, Ill
explain that later, but right now Id like to apologize to everyone here.
I made you come and the truth of the matter is I wasnt able to make
it either, I have other things important that I have to attend to, Kyles
voice echoed through the room as there were a couple of gasps and Sarah continued
to watch seeing Kyles smile expand as she watched the tape Kellen had
put in. Most of you probably know me, some of you know me a lot and
some a little, but all of you know me as a pretty well rounded guy. I know
that a lot of people actually know that Sarah is pregnant with my child. Wrong.
What is this? Sarah snapped hearing the gasps and whispers of
the crowd as Sarah moved forward and Kellen grabbed a hold of her to make
her watch the tape again. Kellen
,
You see the bride to be, which I know you are there Sarah so you can
listen up good. The bride to be shouldnt be wearing white. In fact all
of you should know, there is no way that the child she is having is mine.
A lot of you would know that Sarah and I were broken up for quite some time
and the baby growing inside of her is way too young to even be considerably
mine. I know what everyone is thinking is, if not me as the father, then who?
Kyle stood up as the camera followed his movements and he held his hands up
in the air on the video before offering up a small laugh. Well Ill
tell you right now, one possible chance is sitting in the front row if my
directions were held out right. Diego Hernandez.
Thats not true, Sarah blurted out looking toward Diego seeing
his dark eyes widen as he moved forward in his seat standing up from it as
the crowd let out a few small gasps. I would have never.
Right about now I would assume that Sarah would be saying it never happened,
well there are plenty of people that could prove it did, but yes--Sarah did
cheat on me with Diego and no hard feelings Diego. I know that sometimes a
cold, heartless bitch like Sarah could get to someone, Kyles voice
echoed through the room as there were a few gasps and Diego stared out at
the television before looking over toward Sarah. Well right now, lets
blame Diego. You see there is another person that Sarah had some fun with
while she was engaged to me and Im not sure where he is sitting but
Im assuming somewhere near the back and thats Cameron Stone. Yeah,
Cameron I saw you and Im no idiot. Kind of like these people, they arent
idiots and once they see you for who you are Sarah they will never trust you
again.
What? Diego snapped looking over at Sarah seeing Kellen let go
of her long enough for Diego to move back and look back at Cameron seeing
him half smiling as if he was amused at the video. You and Cameron?
Hey, lets not get too uptight, Kellen nodded toward the
television and motioned for them to look at the television again as they saw
Kyle just standing there before motioning the camera to follow him as it went
outside and Kyle paused in the darkness. There is a lot more.
This is just for Sarah right here, Kyle pointed toward the camera
as Sarah watched it carefully listening to hear what he had to say. If
you think that I will ever get back with someone as disgusting as you--youre
wrong. I want nothing to do with you and hell, I dont even love you.
My heart belongs to someone else and you tried using the baby against me.
Well news flash Sarah, if that baby does happen to be mine by some miracle
I will fight you for that baby and make sure you never see it again. As of
right now, you see these rings. Yeah, I have them, they arent there.
This is what I think of you and the relationship we had.
Turn this off, Sarah snapped only to feel Kellen hold tightly
onto her as the crowd continued to watch seeing Kyle throw the rings into
the water and turn back toward the camera before fixing his shirt. Turn
this off right now.
Sarah, Im not marrying you now and Im never going to marry
you. I want you to be as embarrassed as I was when I found out I never loved
you and made a fool of myself, Kyles voice echoed through her
ears as he shook his head slowly. Again, everyone Im sorry you
all came here for nothing and I hope to see you all again except Sarah. I
never want to see her face again.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Julian sat at his desk thinking about the headline that had made its
way to the front of the newspaper on his desk. Reaching out for it again he
saw a photo of Kyle with Sarah and found himself wondering how it was that
Kyle could find himself getting married to someone like that--to someone who
clearly had no regard for him as a man or even more so as someone she was
supposed to spend the rest of her life with. He closed his eyes for a moment
and thought about what hed witnessed between Sarah and Diego in the
visiting room. While hed wanted to say something to Kyle, he was concerned
about doing so. Sure, he and Kyle had spoken and worked together a few times,
but Julian had been conflicted about going through and telling Kyle something
that could potentially destroy him.
Plus Sarah is pregnant, Julian thought to himself remembering
full well how hed felt when Olivia had told him that they were having
Jackie. Their relationship was strained at the time after it seemed theyd
both had different plans for the future. Olivia had wanted to bury herself
in a career while Julian had wanted a family and as Olivia had put it, fate
was clearly on Julians side with the surprise pregnancy. Yes, Olivia
hadnt been happy about that discovery and was reluctant to move forward
with the pregnancy considering that shed been wrapped up in school at
the time, but with a little convincing, a wedding proposal and years together
Julian knew full well that things had worked out for the better. What stress
he and Olivia had shared with one another disappeared once Jackie was born.
Theyd found a new beginning and so could Kyle now that he had a child
on the way.
That is if its his baby, Julian pondered knowing full well
that Sarah was less than faithful. Granted Julian mightve experienced
strain in his relationship, but it wasnt because the woman he loved
had been cheating on him. If that was an issue, then there would be no telling
how things wouldve turned out. Things might have been different and
Hello, he heard a voice capture his attention. Looking up he saw
his wife standing in the doorway offering up a wave at him. She carefully
closed the door behind him, her auburn hair curling at the ends and framing
her face while she crossed the room. Earth to Julian.
Olivia, he smiled at his wife grateful to see her after all of
his thoughts. He stood up and circled around his desk to kiss her gently,
how are you?
Obviously in a much better mood than you are, she noted giving
him a quick once over, Whats with the doom and gloom routine?
Doom and gloom? he repeated giving her a quick look.
I saw it in your eyes when I was outside, she confessed touching
the side of his face gently. Even now I can see something is eating
away at you.
No, Im fine, he lied trying to force a small smile and push
his concerns about Kyle out of the way for now.
Youre lying, she searched his eyes for a long moment, I
can tell. You have that expression on your face that you get when youre
lost in thought, but are working to keep it from me.
Im not working to keep anything, he started, then sighed.
Okay, so maybe I do have something on my mind, but its not that
important.
Its important enough to worry about it, so whats up?
she questioned seeing him move over to his desk again.
I was just thinking about the way life works, he admitted glancing
up at her again. I mean when you think youve got it all figured
out, something comes along and changes it for you.
Why would you say that? she frowned down at him, an uneasiness
carrying over his eyes. Where is that coming from?
I just
he paused glancing up at her again, its
not anything in our lives, but there is this friend of mine
Friend huh? she arched a doubtful brow moving in closer to him.
He nodded, Honestly yes. Hes getting married and there is this
woman
That hes getting married to? she questioned.
He nodded again, They just well, they
I mean shes pregnant
and he is planning on a future with her, but
But what? she questioned curiously.
I saw her with someone else, Julian blurted out with a heavy sigh.
He brought his fingers up through his dark hair and sighed. I just sort
of walked in on something and now all I can think about is how he has no idea
what the woman hes going to marry is all about. Im sure hes
thinking about the happiness ahead of him, but if shes not faithful
now
Julian, she sighed circling around to touch his shoulder gently,
obviously this man is marrying her because he loves her--because they
have a child on the way.
I realize that, but given what Ive seen, he started again
only to feel her press her finger into the center of his lips to silence him.
Julian, I know that you want to help because its in your nature,
but this really isnt your place, she continued pushing his chair
out behind his desk enough to move in onto his lap. Settling herself over
him she leaned forward to kiss him lightly, I know you mean well, but
given the circumstances maybe its best if you let them figure it out
on their own. I mean how would you feel if someone approached you and said
something about me like that? Would it make you doubt me and our love?
Of course not, he shook his head and frowned, but youre
not cheating on me. Shes obviously been with another man more than one
time.
Even so its best if you dont get involved, she continued
to remind him touching his cheek lightly, People like that tend to find
the truth in their own ways sooner or later. Ive learned that when others
get involved it gets messy.
Maybe, but
he hesitated again only to feel her touch his
face lightly.
No buts
she shook her head firmly leaning forward to steal
another kiss from his lips, Right now I want to talk about this weekend--about
the fact that Jackie is going to be spending her time with Lindsay and John
has that music camp, which means that itll be just the two of us alone
together
Alone, Julian repeated arching an amused brow.
Thats right, she nodded in response, and as foreign
as that sounds right now, its something that I think you and I should
take advantage of together. I mean we could actually delve into perhaps a
little candlelight dinner
maybe some mood music and
And it sounds nice, he smiled up at her wrapping his arm around
her slender waist, I think I could get very used to the idea of being
alone with you for a while.
Good, then keep the weekend open because I think its long past
time for us to give up being perfect parents for a while and remember what
its like to be fun, wild adults who know how to appreciate one another,
she mouthed in response bending down to kiss him once again.
I do appreciate you, he replied moving in to kiss her again, very
much.
Ill look forward to that appreciating this weekend, she
mouthed in response sliding her arms around his shoulders only to feel her
pager going off on her side. Frowning she pulled back and groaned.
Duty calls? he half questioned hearing the phone on his desk ringing.
On both ends apparently, she reached for her pager seeing it was
the hospital.
I guess this is where the possibility of what if ends and reality gets
in the way, Julian noted with a heavy sigh.
I guess so, she frowned back at him, I should probably call
them back.
Yeah and I, he paused nodding towards the phone again.
Well talk later, she decided with a long sigh moving towards
the door to his office. She spun around to see hed already answered
the phone and she sighed knowing that the time they had alone together was
far and few these days. Still at least they had the weekend to look forward
to. That in itself was something!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
You son of a bitch, Sarah spat feeling Kellen finally let go
of her as she fell to her butt seeing Kellen shake his head slowly before
walking over toward the television to turn it off. Kellen folded his arms
out in front of his chest as she let out an angered hiss. Youre
going to pay for this.
The only one going to pay is you Sarah, Kellen kneeled down staring
out at her with his blue eyes before offering up a wide smile and staring
out at her. Payback that is. You see you tried ruining so many peoples
lives that you never got it. You arent the only one in this world that
gets what they need. You never deserved Kyle and you deserve much more than
you are getting right now.
Thats it, she stood up from the ground seeing Kellen stand
up too and she marched forward seeing Kellen stare out at her as she brought
her fist up to hit him only to feel him catch her fist. Swinging her other
one she felt him catch that one too before she brought her head forward seeing
that he was bent down trying to fend her off and her head nailed his sending
him to the ground as he let out a small groan. Youre going to
die.
Kellen, Grady went to say something as Kellen stood up and placed
his hand over his forehead letting out a small hiss before motioning Kellen
to listen to him. Seeing Sarah head for him again he let out a small gasp
only to see Kellen grab a hold of Sarahs forehead holding her back as
Kellen looked back at him. I dont think actually getting into
a fight will help.
She came after me, Kellen pointed out seeing the way that Grady
glared at him as Kellen rolled his eyes and let go of Sarah. Turning toward
Grady he threw his hands up in the air only to feel his left hand catch a
hold of Sarahs chin seeing her fall to the ground as he let out a small
laugh. My bad.
You little gay
, Sarah got up from the ground and jumped
on Kellens back wrapping her arms around his neck tightly and her legs
around his waist as Kellen let out a small gasp. Youre going to
pay for all this.
Do you want help? Grady questioned seeing Kellen shake his head
slowly as Grady rested back against the statue in the corner of the room seeing
that people must have decided it was a good time to start clearing out of
the room as Sarah continued to attack Kellen. Ill help anytime
you need it.
I dont need help, Kellen grumbled moving back quickly and
slamming Sarahs back into the wall only to feel her loosen up a bit,
but not enough to let go as she let out a small hiss. Ive got
this under control.
I can see that, Grady half yawned seeing Kellen spinning around
and around trying to get her arms off from around his neck and he let out
a small hiss. Bending forward Kellen flipped her over onto her back on the
ground. Standing above her Kellen shook his head slowly getting to the ground
and putting his elbow across her neck to keep her in place and make sure not
to hurt her. Kellen, come on youre a man. Well, you have the body
of a man.
Shes attacking me, Kellen felt Sarah moving underneath him
and trying to hit him again as Kellen stood up and held his hands up in the
air angrily. Okay, Im not touching her just go on and give me
a minute. You got what you deserved Sarah.
I hate you, Sarah stood up walking over to Kellen and slapping
him across the cheek as he took in a deep breath and tried to hold it in as
she pushed into his chest. Kellen stayed there for another moment before Sarah
brought her hand across his cheek again seeing him turn away from her before
shaking his head slowly and then bringing his hand across hers. You
jerk.
You started it, Kellen felt her slap him again as he did the same
only to feel her hit him back and every time she did, he would hit her right
back. They continued until finally she decked him in the face and Kellen then
grabbed a hold of her hair pulling back roughly hearing her let out a small
hiss. Hold your horses before I pull out all of it.
Id like to see you try, she growled out at him as she went
to hit him again and he let go of her as her shoe broke and she fell down
the two stairs landing flat on her butt as a few people stayed to watch her
fight with Kellen. Youre going to pay for that.
Back off, Grady ordered sharply stepping between the two as Sarah
moved in closer to Kellen again seeing the way Kellen begged her to move in
closer to him. Kellen, knock it off.
Get out of my way Grady, Sarah ordered seeing Kellen glaring out
at her with his blue eyes before starting to unbutton his dress shirt. Youre
going to get your butt kicked once I get my hands on you.
Yeah, well newsflash sweetheart, Kellen took in a deep breath
knowing that Sarah was paying close attention to him now that he was the one
that revealed what a whore she really was. Youve punched me how
many times? One more time and I swear that I will punch you and you will be
out for hours.
Id like to see you try, Sarah brought her foot up trying
to catch Kellen in the groin only to get Grady in the process making Grady
fall down to the ground, placing his hand over the center of his pants. You
ruined my life.
And you ruined Heathers, Kellen held up his fists knowing
that she would most likely be on the attack again as he moved forward and
in closer to her. Shes my best friend and its sad that a
stupid bitch like you was able to bring her down. So come on Sarah, just bring
it.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I dont believe this, Angela gasped under her breath taking
in the scene right in front of them with Sarah trying to murder Kellen. It
was too unbelievable for words and after what shed heard about Sarah
and her brother, to say she was stunned was the least of it. She shook her
head trying to make sense of everything that Kellen had said. It seemed that
there were quite a few secrets in this town and today they had been exposed
in such a way that no one was ever going to be the same.
We need to talk, Kevin slid into the row where Brant and Angela
had been seated. He grabbed Angela by the arm and tried to pull her up from
where she was seated in a stunned moment.
Kevin, what are you
Brant watched Kevin pull at Angelas
arm causing her to get up from where shed been beside him. Whats
wrong?
I just need to have a word with Angie, Kevin explained nudging
Angela once again, Could you just um step outside with me for a minute?
No, Im not going anywhere, Angela shook her head adamantly
pulling out of Kevins reach, I have to get to the bottom of things
and
And you can do that later, Kevin cut her off abruptly, You
and I need to have a chat outside and
And nothing. Were not having a chat outside right now considering
that I think I need to get some answers about
Angela hissed back
at him. She shrugged out of his hold once again ready to turn to Brant once
more when Kevin clasped her wrist.
Angie, I dont think you get what Im telling you, Kevins
words came out in a firm, unyielding tone, Im not asking you anymore.
Im telling you to come with me right now and
I cant believe any of this, Brant ran his fingers through
his hair searching around the church to see everyones reaction to learning
what kind of a person Sarah was, I wonder where Don drifted off to.
I know he was just right there and
I said Im not going with you Kevin, Angela snapped glaring
up at her best friend. She pushed him away from her causing Brant to watch
the two of them closely. A frown carried over him as Angela stepped away from
Kevin.
Whats going on? Brant couldnt help but ask sensing
the tension between Angela and Kevin. He saw something pass over Kevins
face as Kevin looked to the back of the church. Kevin?
The hell hes sneaking out of here without giving an answer about
all of this, Angela muttered under her breath bending down and brushing
past Kevin in a haste.
Angie wait, Kevin called out to her worry creasing over his brow
as he realized that things were about to get to a new level of chaotic with
Angela if he didnt put a stop to it. Remembering that Avery was out
in the lobby Kevin rushed after Angela hoping to prevent disaster.
What is going on here? Brant couldnt help but wonder as
he realized that everything in the church seemed to be caught up in a whirlwind
of disaster after Kellen revealed the truth about Sarah. Now watching Kevin
and Angela rush towards the back of the church Brant realized that maybe it
was time to figure out just what in the world was going on!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ria watched from where she stood seeing Kevin chasing after Angela yet again.
It caused her thoughts to return back to what shed seen on that tape
and no doubt she was certain that Kevin and Angela would be up for a repeat
performance--one that Ria most certainly didnt want to be watching.
A shudder passed over her as she looked to Seth.
See I told you I was right, she pointed over in the direction
Kevin ran off in, He cant keep his hands off of her obviously.
The fact to the matter is that Kevin doesnt want to walk away from the
past like he tries to make us all believe. He just keeps running to it over
and over again.
Ria, I really dont think that
Seth started watching
Sarah try to take another punch at Kellen. Seth tossed an apologetic expression
over at Ria once again before rushing over to Blake and muttering quickly,
Well talk about this later.
No we wont because there wont be a later, Rias
eyes narrowed at Kevin as she marched over to the back of the church. She
watched Angela push Kevin away, yelling a few words at him once again before
rushing out the front doors.
Seizing the opportunity, Ria marched forward ready to give Kevin a piece of
her mind once and for all after the way he used her and broke her heart. If
he was going to go back to Angela, then he was going to at least hear what
she had to say about it, she decided taking another bold step forward when
she ran right smack into Don.
Hey, Don felt her plow into him. He spun around to catch her before
she could fall, Wheres the fire Ria?
Its over there, she spat out motioning towards Kevin, who
seemed to be conflicted about whether or not he should chase after his precious
Angie. She rolled her eyes before standing up straighter and looking to Don
again, Im about to tell my ex-fiancé to go straight to
hell.
You are? Don replied with a puzzled expression, Hey, what
happened? I thought that you were really happy and
.
Men suck, Ria blurted out feeling her frustrations mount as Kevin
took a step backwards moving closer to the both of them without realizing
it.
Why do you say that? Don questioned awaiting her answer with a
curious expression as it seemed that the church had transformed into a war
zone so to speak.
Because of this, Ria tapped Kevin on the shoulder causing him
to spin around and face her, a stunned expression on his face.
Ria, he gasped clearly out of breath as his chocolate eyes gazed
down at her in a panic, what are you doing here?
We were both invited remember? Ria tossed back at him pointedly
folding her arms in front of her chest, Of course you probably forgot
in between chasing Avery and Angie around, huh? It just didnt cross
your mind to think about me since Im clearly so low in the list, eh?
Ria its not like that, Kevin tipped his head back in an
attempt to look over his shoulder to search for Angela, Its just
that well a lots been going on and
Oh yeah I can see that, she scoffed back at him, her irritation
growing with each passing second.
Ria, youre the one who refused to talk to me. I didnt dump
you. Youre the one who threw me out and
Kevin reminded her
sharply before facing her once again. Once he did he felt as if hed
been kicked in the gut. The pain behind her eyes was overwhelming. The way
that she seemed so angry and full of hate for him caused him to buckle backward
with grief all over again. Instinctively he reached out to her trying to explain
himself, Ria I love you. You know I love you and
And its not enough, is it? Ria shook her head at him furiously,
As long as Angie has you chasing her around, shell always keep
pulling your strings and using you when the mood strikes, right Kevin? Shes
never going to just let you be happy and have a life of your own, right Kevin?
Ria, thats not how it is. I promise that I can explain everything
to you if you just give me five minutes to work things out here and then we
can talk. We can go somewhere else in five minutes after I deal with a situation
and
Kevin stammered trying to find a way to gain control of the
situation that was spinning out of control around him.
Forget about it Kevin. Nothing is going to change in five minutes especially
not after you go find Angela, she threw her hands up in the air, a look
of disgust washing over her, I dont know why I even bothered with
you.
Ria wait, he reached for her arm, trying to pull her back to him,
but instead of getting a positive response from her, he saw the glare that
seemed to cut him to the core, Ria please. Just five minutes. I swear
to you after I talk to Angie we can go somewhere private and
To hell with Angie, her face twisted in a deep scowl at the mention
of Angies name. She scrunched her face up bringing her knee in a jerking
upward motion as well striking Kevin right square in the groin. He fell to
the ground with a thud as she glared down at him tears threatening to overtake
her. And to hell with you.
Oh my
Dons jaw dropped as Ria realized he was standing
there still. She blinked two times before speaking up.
You asked why men suck, well theres your answer Don, Ria
spat out with tears threatening before spinning around to leave.
Ria, wait
Kevin squeaked in a pinched voice as Don looked
down at the floor where Kevin lay in a ball and winced.
Oh man, it sucks to be you, Don mouthed unable to refrain from
comment. Ive been there so many times in the past and I know its
not pleasant.
Shut up, Kevin glared up at Don, hurting like hell as his eyes
watched the woman he loved rush out of the church without a second though.
Sure, he was in pain after shed kicked him, but nothing hurt worse than
his breaking heart as he realized that she was right. As long as Angela was
in his life, he never was going to be happy--as long as he kept dealing with
all of her problems, he would never have a life of his own and thanks to the
past with Angela, Kevin had just lost all hope of a future with the one woman
he truly loved.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Grady stood taking in the scene as Kellen and Sarah went twenty rounds with
one another. He was about to intervene when Sarah moved to kick Kellen in
the groin only to miss and knock Seth in the shin after hed attempted
to try to calm her down. Grady watched Seth buckle over in agony and opted
to take a small step back out of the situation unfolding in front of him.
I cant believe all of this, he heard a voice whisper in
the back of his ear. He felt a hand press in on his arm and as he looked over
his shoulder he saw Deana standing beside him with a surprised expression
behind her brown eyes.
Neither can I, Grady admitted turning ever so slightly to look
at her more completely. He moved another step backward down the stair behind
him until he was on the ground level with Deana, This is insane.
You arent kidding, Deana shuddered hearing Sarah throwing
a vase of flowers across the room over at Kellen. The vase shattered and she
reached for something else. Deana pulled Grady a bit further away from the
scene before whispering in his ear, Wheres Kyle?
Far from this place and I dont blame him given whats going
on, Grady admitted with a sheepish grin. However as another crashing
sound erupted from behind him, he reached out to Deana and pulled her further
away from the chaos, And I think it might be wise for us to do the same.
Do you want to get out of here with me?
Grady, I dont know if
Deana began hearing Sarahs
shouts grow louder, her threats more violent at Kellen. You know on
second thought I think thats a great idea considering I think someone
is going to get seriously hurt around here and I would hate for that to be
you.
Really, Grady couldnt help but smile seeing the genuine
concern behind her eyes.
Yes really, she nodded unable to repress the smile that tugged
at the corners of her mouth, I would hate to have to be called into
work to have to stitch you up all over again given what a miserable patient
I remember you to be.
Im much better than I was before, he promised with a wink,
I may even be polite if I have to.
You? Polite? she laughed lightly feeling a bit more at ease with
him than shed been in a while, Um Grady I hate to say this, but
right now I dont think a lot of people would say that polite is your
strong point especially not Sarah.
Hey shes only getting what she gave back to the community again
and again, he replied with an air of heavy sarcasm, She shouldve
known better than to try to play Kyle like that. Really I dont know
what the hell happened to her, but whats happening now, well it couldnt
be happening to a nicer person.
Another crash sounded from behind where Grady and Deana stood. Grady glanced
over his shoulder to see Kellen waving his arms in the air wildly, words of
insult flying from his lips as well.
I do think she met her match though in the insults department,
Grady couldnt help but laugh before his focus returned to the question
hed asked Deana, So what do you say? You want to get out of here
with me? Maybe get some coffee or something?
Yeah I think we can pull that off, she nodded in agreement reaching
for his hand in hers, Although I should probably find Don and tell him
that Im leaving.
The shouts continued to roar from behind them.
On second thought, Deana bit on her lower lip nervously, Maybe
we could just call his cell phone on the way out to let him know I left.
Great idea, Grady nodded in agreement guiding Deana towards the
side door of the church in the hopes of making their big escape undetected.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Youre getting everything you deserve sweetheart, Kellen
pointed out seeing Sarah kick away her broken shoe as Kellen offered up a
wide smile. You didnt see what you had, if you would have just
kept your legs closed you would have been married by now, not you--that was
too hard for you.
You dont know me, she moved forward seeing Kellen step out
of her way as Kellen held his hands up in the air after Grady had crawled
away a while ago. You ruined everything Kellen and I always knew you
would. Just because you have a hard on for Kyle doesnt mean he likes
you. He is just using you.
You think I care if he likes me, Kellen half laughed shaking his
head slowly before taking in a long and pulling open the rest of his shirt
so that she saw his undershirt. Pushing back the sides of his dress shirt
he motioned her to take a step forward before shaking his head slowly. You
see, I love Heather more than anything other than Kipp and she loves Kyle--thats
all that matters.
He was mine first, she snapped seeing Kellen shake his head slowly
as he stepped down one of the steps seeing her follow him as she came at him
again and this time he moved out of the way seeing her go to jump on him,
only to go over the benches in the church and onto the ground in a thud. What
is so good about my sister?
Well lets think about this, Kellen took in a deep breath
seeing Sarahs fingers wrap around the back of the bench as she pulled
herself up slowly and stared out at him. She isnt you and that
makes her clean. You know what though, youre frizzy and I dont
like you at all.
Yeah and youre a woman, she turned around and moved in closer
to him noticing that he knew she was about to hit him again as she felt him
turn her around and grab a hold of her arms putting her in some kind of lock
so she couldnt get out. Let go of me Kellen or I swear you're
dead.
Nice try, but by the time you are done trying you will already be passed
out, Kellen muttered in her ear feeling her wrap her arms around over
and over again hearing him let out another small laugh. I told you demon
girl, there is no way to get out of this and
,
Kellen let her go, Kipps voice echoed through Kellens
ears as Kellen let go of Sarah and turned back toward Kipp seeing the way
that Kipp got between them holding his hands out so that he blocked the both
of them. Knowing that if Sarah did happen to get a hold of Kellen, Kipp knew
that it was likely Sarah would try and murder him and he wasnt about
to let that happen right now. You two need to stop fighting right now.
He helped Kyle because Kyle asked him to Sarah and Kellen--Sarah helped a
lot of guys.
I noticed that, Kellen half laughed wiggling his fingers at her
in a teasing manner to see her push at Kipps hand to get him away from
her only to feel him continue to hold her back. Whether you like it
Sarah, you are never going to have Kyle back again because he saw you for
who you truly are.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Brant worked his way through the crowd wondering where in the world Angela
had drifted off to after shed raced away from where theyd been
seated. Hed tried to catch up to her and Kevin, but then he was caught
in the hustle and bustle of churchgoers trying desperately to get out of their
seats before Sarah flipped out on them as well. Brant could still hear Sarah
lashing out at Kellen, but right now that was of little to no concern for
him. He wanted to find Angela and see what was going on considering that shed
up and left in such a frazzled state.
Where are you, Brant mouthed scanning the area for any sign of
Angela. He was working his way over towards the entrance when he spotted Don
in the middle of the lobby, Don. Don hey!
Brant, Don waved at his friend wildly watching as Brant pushed
his way through the crowd, hey!
Have you seen Angela, Brant questioned approaching Don only to
discover Kevin still lying on the ground. He could see the obvious agony Kevin
was in as his hand was clasped over his groin area and his face was still
a bright shade of red. What the hell happened here? Please dont
tell me Angela was that pissed at you to take you down like this?
It wasnt Angela, Don piped in before Kevin could reply to
Brants comment, Sure she seemed like she was worked up when she
raced out of here, but it was Ria who did this number on Kevin.
Ill be fine, Kevin explained in a pinched voice his brown
eyes full of tears as he tried to pull himself off of the ground only to stumble
forward again.
Let me give you a hand, Brant offered his hand out to Kevin before
thinking twice of it. Brant motioned to Don before nodding to Kevin again,
Lets help the man up instead of just sitting here watching the
aftermath of his misfortune.
Oh right, Don nodded getting up from where hed been seated
for the last few minutes watching the scene unfold around him. He moved to
one side of Kevin before Brant stepped in on the other side. The two men started
to hoist Kevin off of the ground as Don looked to Brant again, So what
happened to get all this going on? I was on the phone with the hospital when
it seemed like all hell broke loose in the church.
Sarah got caught cheating and Kyle let the world know all about it,
Brant explained matter of fact, unable to repress the grin that swept over
his features, This wedding turned out almost as good as Kens did
if not better.
Given that Kevins the one that got kicked in the balls and not
me, Id have to say its turning out much better, Don chortled
in response thus earning him a heavy glare from Kevin. No offense man.
Yeah, well right now I hurt too damn much to be offended, Kevin
sighed heavily thinking about the way Ria had run out on him. Ria just
doesnt understand. She doesnt see that shes wrong about
Angie and I.
You and Angie? Brant repeated giving him a strange look. What
about it?
Ria thinks that Im still in love with Angie, Kevin spoke
up behind gritted teeth.
Why would she think that? Brant questioned with a puzzled expression.
Thanks to good old Foley, she saw something she shouldnt have
and she flipped out on me. I tried to explain it to her earlier, but she tossed
me out. She refused to talk to me before the wedding and
Kevin
began to explain the situation to Brant.
She had no problems telling you to go to hell when she nailed you in
the
Don piped in cheerfully.
Shut up Don! Kevin snarled at him watching Don raise his arms
in the air defensively.
Im just saying, Don shrugged his shoulders taking a step
back just in case Kevin felt compelled to deck him.
So wait? Chris made Ria think that youre in love with Angela?
Brant gave Kevin a strange look, Why would that jackass do something
like that?
Probably for the same reasons why he did what he did in writing that
article, but the fact to the matter is as much as I want to work this out
with Ria, I have to find Angie right now. I need to get her out of here before
she gets into trouble, Kevin explained with a worried expression.
What kind of trouble? Brant asked worriedly. Kevin, whats
going on?
I promise Ill explain later, Kevin shook off the pain that
was rocking over him before turning to Brant, but right now I have to
get out there and find her.
Im going with you, Brant announced firmly, If something
is wrong then shes going to need me there.
Brant, this doesnt concern you, Kevin replied in a bit of
an evasive tone.
If Angela is in some kind of trouble or something is bothering her,
then you can bet it concerns me. I love her Kevin and Im not going to
abandon her when she needs me the most, Brant announced causing Kevin
to realize that there was going to be no arguing the matter.
Fine, but just dont make things worse than they already are,
Kevin warned before the two men headed towards the church exit ready to find
Angela.
Well, Don scratched his chin lightly unable to repress his amusement,
this is sure turning out to be quite a day here.
Another crash sounded from back inside the church and Don shuddered remembering
Kens wedding when a very furious Michelle tried to beat the life out
of him. Not wanting a repeat performance Don started to tiptoe towards the
exit of the church as well.
Um guys, Don mouthed in a quiet tone picking up his pace, Wait
for me.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Just where do you think youre going? Angela demanded stepping
in front of Cameron before he could run out to the parking lot in the midst
of the confusion.
Angel, Cameron started surprised to see his sister standing before
him glaring at him as if she was ready to murder him. hey I
Yeah you, she took a bold step forward, her brown eyes narrowing
in anger at him, What the hell were you thinking? How could you do something
like this?
Hey this was not my fault, Cameron informed her point blank shaking
his head at the scene that was taking place around them. I had nothing
to do with Kyles decision not to marry Sarah.
Really, Angela arched a disbelieving brow, then why did
Kellen tell everyone that you were sleeping with the bride to be?
Kellens a queen, you know how he thrives on drama Angel,
Cameron tried to backpedal thinking about how that admission from Kellen and
Kyle was the last thing that hed anticipated in going to the wedding.
I realize that things look bad, but
But nothing Cameron. You did something to destroy that mans happiness
not to mention if what Kellen said was true about you plotting and manipulating
people to
Kellen doesnt know what hes talking about, Cameron
lied trying to ignore what Kellen had told everyone about his arrangement
with Sarah.
I think he does and thats why youre trying to run away,
Angela confronted Cameron shaking her head at them, You know full well
that those people wouldve been fine if you hadnt tried to manipulate
the situation in your favor. When I saw that tape it reminded me of our father
and
Angel stop, Cameron cut her off abruptly, I am nothing like
our father. I have done what I needed to do to survive in this town.
By manipulating and hurting people? she questioned with a look
of disgust, Cameron thats not like you. You arent that kind
of person and you swore that you would never cause something like this.
I didnt cause this! he snapped at her frustration rolling
over him, I wasnt the one that made this wedding fall apart. That
was Sarahs doing and as for what I promised her, I was never, ever going
to give her any of it. I dont care what she wants--its not important
to me.
Then why say those things? Why make those promises? she couldnt
help but ask confusion settling in over her.
It was one of those times when you say things you dont mean. You
know when youre with someone and
Cameron threw his hands
up in the air, Im not going to justify or explain my actions to
you. I did what I did because it was what I wanted to do and thats all
there is to it.
Ah yes good old Cameron who is above doing the right thing. You cant
just stop and think about anyone else for a change can you? You cant
let yourself be the man I knew you to be because it doesnt fit into
this whole agenda you have working with you, Angela shook her head at
him disgustedly, Youre such a hypocrite.
A hypocrite, he repeated with a sarcastic laugh taking a step
towards her, you my sister are the greatest hypocrite of them all. I
came to this town bound and determined to right the wrongs that have been
done against our family. I did everything I have in order to make those pay
for taking away what was rightfully ours.
Cameron, what are you talking about? she shook her head at him,
What does that have to do with today? How does whats happened
to our family have anything to do with all of this?
This has to do with you sleeping with the enemy, Cameron approached
her, a dark expression creeping in over him, After everything I have
done to keep you out of harms way, you found it in you to rush into
the arms of the enemy. Time after time youve been too stupid to see
how things really are. Youve found a way to keep pushing yourself in
the line of danger and Ive been cleaning up your messes.
Oh please, she rolled her eyes at him throwing her hands up in
the air, there you go wanting to push the conversation on someone else
when youre clearly in the wrong.
No Angel youre in the wrong! Youre dead wrong! he
shouted his words shaky and broken by emotion, Not only have you disobeyed
me time and time again, but you took it upon yourself to find the one man
in this world I detest the most and become his whore.
What are you talking about? she blinked back at him, Cameron,
have you lost your mind?
Have you lost yours? Have you no shame or decency? Cameron grabbed
her arm tightly, pinching it with his fingers, Of all the things I expected
and anticipated for my sister I never believed that she would fall into bed
with the one man who was responsible for the death of our father.
What? she questioned confusion setting in over her as she tried
to wrench her arm away from him, Cameron what are you talking about?
Im talking about Brant, Cameron snapped at her jerking her
arm in a violent tugging motion, Brant Ashford--the man responsible
for our fathers murder.
