"Why dont you introduce yourself to the neighbors?"my mom asked one day on the backyard deck.

"Cause theyre known guys on TikTok and Im a nobody."I muttered.

"Not true and Ive heard them on lives talking about the pretty girl next door who avoids them."my older sister spoke up.

I rolled my eyes and pulled out my phone unlocking it. I took a picture to post on my Instagram and posted it knowing someone would end up tagging them in it cause it never failed. I put my phone down and went to get up to get a drink. I looked next door and saw one of them was outside on one of the porches doing a live. He looked over and waved before I walked inside. I went back out after getting a bottled water and grabbed my phone.

"Im going for a walk, I'll be back in half a hour."I told my mom.

"What do you have to lose by introducing yourself to them Kai?"my sister asked.

"You both know Im shy and insecure, just stop."I replied.

"Kai it looks like theyre coming over here to introduce themselves. Just stay, we'll go inside if it helps. There's 2 girls with them."my mom replied.

"Fine."I said softly sitting back down.

The neighbors came in the backyard and my mom got up to go inside. She nudged my sister and she winked at me before going inside. I bit my lip looking at the guys watching me and dropped my head.

"Forgive them, they arent used to a pretty girl not throwing themselves at one of them."one of the girls spoke up.

"Im not that type of girl."I said softly.

"So why do you avoid us?"one of the guys asked.

"Dude you didnt just ask that."the other girl said slapping him.

"Honest its cause Im shy and a little insecure."I replied looking up.

They stuck around for around 2 hours getting to know me and letting me get to know them before my sister came out. I bit my lip and she smiled at me before handing me another bottled water. She went back inside and the guys smiled at me.

"We should go Kai, the boys will be live tonight. You should join if you want."Heidi spoke up.

"If Im not doing something already I'll join."I replied.

"Heidi has your number now right?"Chris asked.

"I'll text you when the lives start beautiful."Heidi said after I nodded.

They started leaving and Chris winked at me causing his brother to push him when they were back in the yard. I went to get up and felt my right knee give out before I could take a step towards the house. I tried to stop myself from falling and my sister was back outside to help me. We went inside and I bit my lip feeling my knee starting to swell.

"You ok?"my mom asked.

"No."I muttered.

"I'll get your phone and start the car."my sister spoke up.

"I dont want to spend the whole day at the stupid hospital again."I mumbled.

"Kai if its dislocated again, they'll have you in and out."my mom said softly.

I nodded and waited for my sister to bring my phone back in. She headed for the front door and my mom helped me hop out to the car. The guys were on their porch and could see what was going on. I got in the backseat sitting sideways and my phone started buzzing with and incoming FaceTime from Heidi. I closed my eyes before swiping across the screen and bit my lip when it connected.

"You ok girl?"she asked.

"Messed my knee up but I'll be fine."I said softly.

"Im going to text you so these boys dont know what Im saying but I have something to tell you just between us."she told me.

"Ok, works for me."I replied.

The call ended and my mom headed for the hospital. My sister helped me out when she parked and my phone kept going off in my hand. We got in and I found an empty chair while my mom got me checked in. I groaned and unlocked my phone to read the texts from Heidi.

4 HOURS LATER..

"You going to join the lives tonight Kai?"my sister asked.

"Heidi keeps trying to talk me into it, just nervous."I said softly.

"Why?"she asked.

"Bryan."I replied.

She came to sit beside me and I showed her the texts that Heidi sent while we were at the hospital. She smiled at me and texted Heidi back before going to get my laptop for me. I logged in on my TikTok and waited for Heidi to send me the text to join the lives. She sent it and I joined her live first. I could hear the guys talking and she noticed me join giving me a wink.

"Kai go to his live."she laughed.

"Go to who's live?"Tristan asked walking over to where she was.

"She has to live jump."I heard Chris call.

I pouted at my sister and handed her the laptop. She went to Bryan's live and joined it for me. We watched him smile and I relaxed back on the couch. I propped my leg up and stayed in the lives until Heidi texted a few hours later. I logged off TikTok and put my laptop on the table next to me. I texted her back and could hear the guys outside. My mom opened the sliding door to the deck and I bit my lip seeing them coming up. I got up and grabbed my crutches before making my way outside.

"Dang beautiful."Heidi said softly.

"It's just dislocated, Im ok."I replied.

"You sure you should be up on it?"Bryan asked.

"Ive done this before. Promise I'll be ok."I said softly.

"You enjoy live jumping?"Chris asked.

"I didnt live jump actually."I replied.

"No she came to my live and stayed."Bryan spoke up.

I felt myself blush and Heidi came to help me sit down. I propped my foot in another chair and leaned the crutches on the wall behind me. They decided to hangout a for a little while longer and I kept noticing Bryan watching me. I bit my lip when they got ready to leave and shook my head. I got myself back up and watched Chris look at his brother before shaking his head.

"Kai did you ever tell us how old you were?"Tristan asked.

"I just turned 19 a few weeks ago."I said softly.

"Tristan we got to go."Bryan spoke up.

"Night Kai."Chris called walking down the steps.

"Bye guys."I replied.

Heidi threw her arm around Bryan and he looked back at me winking before they left again. I went in and my mom hugged me seeing the look on my face. I shook my head and looked over at the couch where my sister was sitting smiling at me. I walked over and we watched a movie before our mom headed up for bed.

"Skylar Bryan's 3 years old than me isnt he?"I asked.

"You have a crush on him dont you?"she asked.

"Doesnt matter, dont stand a chance anyway. Not once I leave back to college at the end of summer."I said softly.

"Babe, you went to his live and stayed the entire time, he noticed. You can be just friends with him, it wont hurt."she told me.

"And you know how I get, this is why I was avoiding them next door."I replied.

"Worried he doesnt like you?"she asked.

"Im going to bed."I laughed.

I went upstairs carefully and made it to my bed before my phone went off. I changed into comfortable clothes before washing my face and pulling my hair up into a messy bun. I laid on my bed and unlocked my phone to see who was blowing it up. I smiled seeing it was Heidi and her best friend Ayla. I answered and took the brace off my knee.

"Someone has a crush on you over here."Ayla said winking at me.

"I think its cute, he's like a little kid all over again."Heidi spoke up.

"Who?"I asked grabbing my tv remote.

"Can we tell her?"Heidi asked looking away from the phone.

"What if she doesnt feel the same way?"I heard one of the guys ask.

"Bryan stop being shy."Ayla said getting up.

"Look I dont like being lied to."I spoke up.

"No one is lying to you Kai. Bryan likes you."Heidi said before Ayla pulled him down next to them.

"Im only next door unitl the end of summer."I replied.

"Oh."he said getting up.

Ayla followed him out of view and I put the phone down to wipe the tears that slipped free. I picked it back up and Heidi pouted at me. I shrugged and laid back on my pillows to get ready to fall asleep. I ended the call and plugged my phone up before turning to face the other way.

3 DAYS LATER...

"Kai come outside with me."Skylar said grabbing my knee brace.

"Dont feel like it."I said softly.

"You havent left your room in days."she muttered.

"What's the point?"I asked unlocking my phone.

"Cause you're leaving for college again soon and I want to spend time with my sister."she groaned.

"Who is outside Skylar and dont lie to me."I replied.

"Heidi and Chris."she said.

I put my knee brace on and followed her downstairs. We walked out on the deck and Heidi gave a little smile. I sat at the table and Chris sighed sitting across from me. I rolled my eyes and put my phone on the table.

"Bryan said you go offline everytime he tries to talk to you."Heidi said softly.

"Thought he was mad at me."I replied.

"No he wants to talk to you."Chris spoke up unlocking his phone.

He typed on it a few times and I heard a call connecting a few seconds later. Chris got up and came to sit next to me when Bryan answered. I bit my lip and he yawned pulling his covers back up.

"Oh no, they made me come outside, get out of bed."I laughed.

"Its comfortable."he said softly.

"Im coming to jump on the bed."Heidi called out.

"Leave me alone."he laughed.

"Come over here then."I said softly.

"You come here."he said stretching.

"Bryan get out of bed."Heidi said sitting across from us.

"Im going back to sleep."he replied.

I clenched my jaw and went to get up. Chris bit his lip and rolled his eyes at his brother.

"Thought you wanted to talk to Kai."Heidi spoke up.

"I want to sleep this headache off."Bryan muttered.

"So when she goes offline the next time you try to talk to her dont whine about it."Chris said softly.

"Summers over in 3 weeks."he muttered.

"Then why waste your time."I said before going back inside my house.

I made it to the couch and Skylar bit her lip looking out on the patio. I shook my head and my phone started going off in my lap. I turned it off and decided to go back up to my room. I turned my tv on and found something to watch before getting in the shower. I got ready for the day and was sitting on my bed fighting to put my brace back on when the door opened. Heidi pulled Bryan with her and winked at me. I dropped my head and Bryan sat on the side of my bed to get my attention.

"Why are you set on push any of us away?"he asked.

"Like you said summer is over in 3 weeks."I replied.

"Doesnt mean I dont want to talk to you."he replied.

"And when I leave then what?"I asked.

"Funny fact theres a thing called FaceTime."he said trying to make me smile.

"Kai, he does like you. He's trying you dont have to push him away."Heidi said softly.

"Ok."I replied.

I finished fixing my brace and went to get up. Bryan laughed and helped me stand up. I grabbed my phone and keys before they followed me downstairs. Skylar smiled at me and I rolled my eyes walking outside with them.

"Where you going Kai?"Heidi asked.

"To get food, Im hungry."I laughed.

"We're having a cookout next door."Bryan spoke up.

"Im not walking that far."I said softly.

"Heidi take our phones."he laughed.

"You carrying her?"she asked taking them.

He nodded and lifted me into his arms bridal style. I bit my lip laughing and he winked before we started off for their place next door. Heidi walked up to the door first and opened it so he could set me on my feet. I hopped in place for a second to gain my balance and he shook his head smiling. He helped me to where everyone else was and Tristan smiled seeing me. I smiled back and Heidi handed me my phone before walking over to Tyler. I looked up at Bryan and he licked his lip keeping his arm around me.

"That's the neighbor?"a guy asked from across the room.

"Dont even think about it, Bryan likes her."Tristan replied.

"Not unless you want Bryan throwing hands."Ayla said walking over.

"I invited her play nice."he said softly.

COLLEGE (MOVE IN DAY)

"3 weeks wasnt long enough."Chris muttered helping carrying boxes into my dorm for me.

"No and I should of introduced myself at the start of summer."I agreed.

"You going to be able to handle not being around Bryan?"Heidi asked.

"We're just friends."Bryan laughed.

"Dont act like it Bryan."Skylar spoke up.

"Not ready to be with someone who lives 2 hours away."he said.

"Ouch."I said softly.

I walked back outside to get more of my stuff and he followed me. I bit my lip looking back at him and he pushed me against the car gently.

"You get upset at the stuff the girls comment on my videos and posts or what they say in the lives. I wont be close enough to calm you down when it happens now."he said softly.

"So lock me in the friend zone forever huh?"I asked.

"That isnt fair."he said looking up.

"Either is this."I replied moving around him.

"Kai I didnt get time to know everything about you and to do anything right to make the next move so for now friends is all we can be."he replied.

"Remember thats your choice Bryan."I said with a shrug.

He followed me back up to my dorm with the rest of my stuff and I smiled when my dormmate showed up to bring her stuff in. Heidi nodded towards one of the guys that was with her and winked at me. I smiled and Bryan rolled his eyes before looking at me.

"Can we go now?"he asked looking at Chris.

"What's the rush?"Skylar asked.

"I dont want to stick around watching my chance slip away."he said softly.

"Oh grow up, you didnt want the chance to begin with."I muttered.

"Everything ok bestie?"my roommate asked.

"It's fine. We're getting out of here. Kai I'll call you tonight when mom gets off work."Skylar spoke up.

Bryan walked out first and I bit my lip looking at Heidi. Chris hugged me and I clenched my jaw when we pulled away. Heidi hugged me and Skylar handed me an envelope before they left. I walked into my room to start unpacking my stuff and connected my phone to my bluetooth speaker. Music started and I could hear them moving stuff into our dormsuite for 2 hours. I came out to get a bottled water from the fridge and the guy Heidi had pointed out was leaning against the counter next to the sink.

"Kai this is one of my friends, Keith."my roommate said coming in the kitchen.

"He's cute."I said making him smile.

"Thanks gorgeous."he replied before winking at me.

"You dislocated your knee again?"she asked nodding at my brace.

"I did like 3 weeks ago."I said softly.

My phone started going off in my room and I rolled my eyes trying to figure out who it would be. I shook my head walking back to my room and shut the door. I sat on the bed and swiped the screen after disconnecting it from my speaker. Bryan bit his lip and looked really hurt.

"You made your choice."I spoke up.

"Thought you liked me."he said softly.

"Did until you brought up that we can only be friends since Im living 2 hours away."I replied.

"You wont be single long."he pointed out.

"Its college."I said shrugging my shoulders.

"You're going to go back to avoiding us arent you?"he asked.

"I never said that, just staying off tiktok for awhile."I replied my voice breaking.

"Kai dont cry please."he said softly.

"Im getting off here, I dont want to do this right now."I muttered.

I watched a tear slip down his face and bit my lip ending the call. I walked across the hall to wash my face and heard my phone keep going off. I went back to my room and threw it across my bed hitting the wall. My roommate came in my room and wrapped her arms around me. I shook my head and rolled my eyes turning to face her.

"I like him."I muttered.

"The guy who walked out with tears in his eyes?"she asked.

"I swear my life is so screwed up. I just want normal for once."I groaned.

"Come on my cute friend is still here."she laughed.

"Mattie."I laughed.

I grabbed my phone and followed her into her living room where her friend was sitting on one of the couches. We sat down and he looked over before winking at me. Mattie slapped him in the back of his head and he pouted after clenching his jaw. I got up and sat next to him making her smirk before going in the kitchen. We decided to watch a few movies and she came back after ordering takeout for the 3 of us.

FEW DAYS LATER...

"Kai Bryan wont talk to anyone."Tristan muttered on FaceTime while I was between my classes.

"He leaves me on read Tristan I dont know what to tell you."I replied.

"Come to the lives tonight?"he asked.

"I'll try but I think I have plans."I said softly.

"Ok, I got to get off here. Love you Kai, miss you."he replied.

The call ended and I sent another text to Bryan knowing he wouldnt reply. I walked towards my dorm and smiled seeing Keith leaning against the wall by the door. I unlocked it and he followed me in while I walked to the kitchen to get a drink. I turned around and Mattie came out of her room. She smirked seeing Keith and winked at me.

"Saw that."he spoke up.

"What I cant ship you with my roommate?"she asked.

"She doesnt like me?"he asked.

"Keith why do you think I let you in?"I asked.

"When's your next class?"he asked.

"In about a hour, meet me in my room."I laughed.

He blushed and Mattie winked at him. He quirked his eyebrow and I nodded before he headed to my room. I finished my water and plugged my phone up on the counter to charge.

"Using my friend?"Mattie asked.

"Not using him Mattie. We did it the first night here after the movies."I replied.

"He good?"she asked.

I nodded and headed for my room. Keith smiled and I walked over pushing him backwards on my bed. We got down to what we were going to do and his phone started going off. I bit my lip trying not to laugh and he winked at me ignoring it. We came out of my room half a hour later and Mattie shook her head at both of us.

"Bitch he left a mark on your neck."she said.

"He has more than one its ok."I laughed.

"I got 15 minutes to get to my class."he spoke up.

"Better run, dont want to be late."Mattie laughed.

"Not running, Kai wore me out."he muttered.

"Then miss one class, make up something."I said softly.

He pouted at me and I walked in the kitchen to get us both something to drink. He followed and turned me around next to the fridge. He backed me up and I looked in his eyes trying to figure out what he wanted. He bit his lip and backed up when my phone started going off on FaceTime. I picked it up and saw it was Bryan.

"Going to back to my dorm, I'll talk to you later."Keith said before taking the water from me.

"Dont leave."I said softly.

"Im not who you want Kai."he muttered walking out the door.

I went back to my room and answered the FaceTime from Bryan. He bit his lip and I watched his eyes focus on my neck. He let out a laugh and I watched a few tears slip free.

"I dont know why I even called."he muttered.

"You've ignored me since you guys left the other day."I mumbled.

"So go sleep with whoever is that it?"he asked.

"Delete my number, forget I exist, it'll be better that way."I mumbled.

"Done, dont come to the lives tonight either."he muttered before ending the call.

I threw my phone and heard it hit the wall harder than I had intended. I left my room and Mattie bit her lip looking at me. I shook my head and grabbed my stuff so I could go to my next class. I sat in the back away from everyone and tried focusing on the lecture that was going on.

LATER THAT AFTERNOON

I walked back in the dormroom and Mattie had my phone on the counter with the cracked screen. I rolled my eyes and took my stuff to my room before changing into lazy clothes. I came out and she shook her head at me.

"What's gotten in to you Kai?"she asked.

"I asked Keith not to leave earlier all over Bryan calling and he walked out after saying he wasnt who I want. Bryan hates me so theres that. Im over it."I said softly.

"That's cause Keith doesnt want to be used as a backup, he has feelings Kai."she said.

"Im just going to drop out and go back home."I muttered.

"No baby dont do that. Fuck Bryan, dont listen to his drama. Stay, go talk to Keith if that's what needs to happen."she replied.

"I need to tell Tristan I wont be in the lives tonight, that one is going to hurt."I said softly.

"You'll be there cause Im going myself, Bryan cant stop you."she spoke up.

"Where's Keith?"I asked.

"Asleep in my room. He came back after you left."she replied.

"Im going to shower and go do something productive until its time for whatever."I replied.

"Shower and we're going to get you a new phone cause that one isnt going to work now that its cracked."she laughed.

I went back to my room to get a different outfit and took a quick shower wanting to get it over with. I settled for a crop top with sweatpants and came out to see Keith sitting on the couch holding his head. I bit my lip and looked over at Mattie.

"Took long enough."Keith muttered.

"What is your problem?"I asked.

"I dont have one. My head hurts, I dont feel good now."he replied.

"Did you eat today?"Mattie asked.

I walked over to him and sat beside him rubbing his back. He lifted his head up and I saw the pain in his eyes. Mattie went to get him something for his headache and he closed his eyes laying his head on my shoulder.

"I ate earlier so its not that Mattie."he muttered.

"You want to go back to sleep?"I asked.

"Do I have to go back to my dorm?"he asked.

I shook my head as Mattie came back with medicine and a bottled water. He took the stuff and I kept rubbing his back. Mattie went to her room and brought back a phone with mine. I bit my lip and she put my sim card in it before handing me the phone. Keith whimpered and I got him to lay down. His head went in my lap and I ran my fingers through his hair scratching his scalp lightly.

"Dont spoil the boy."Mattie joked.

"Feels good, leave her alone."Keith mumbled.

"Hey its ok and I dont mind Mattie."I replied.

"You need to just date."she spoke up.

Keith opened his eyes and looked up at me still in pain. I bit my lip and he tried to sit up.

"Not who she wants."he muttered.

"Im out."I groaned.

"Keith stop being stupid."Mattie replied.

"Sorry for not wanting to be someone's back up, Im going to my dorm."he said getting up.

I got up and shook my head before going to my room. I locked the door and heard the main door shut a few seconds later. I cleaned up my room and my phone went off on FaceTime a few minutes later. I answered it for Tristan and he bit his lip after it connected. I made a face and he laughed as I got comfortable on my bed.

"We heard about the fight with Bryan."he said softly.

"Yeah I was told to not come to the lives tonight."I replied.

"He cant stop you, besides my best friend."he spoke up.

"I miss you more than the others."I told him.

"When are you coming back to visit?"he asked.

"In a few weeks, honestly ready for it."I said softly.

"The lives are about to start."he told me.

"Who wants me there?"I asked.

"All of us except for him."he replied.

"I dont know if I can, I hurt him Tristan."I replied.

"You dont have to go to his live but I understand."he said softly looking away from the screen.

"Give me a few minutes."I told him.

"Oh no, Im staying on FaceTime until you get in there."he replied.

"Tristan he was crying on FaceTime with me earlier, I dont want to see him do it again."I mumbled.

I saw movement behind him and Bryan leaned over his shoulder to see who he was on the phone with. I bit my lip and watched the hurt flash in his eyes again. He shook his head and I pulled my iPad to me. I logged in on Tiktok and Tristan looked back at Bryan to see what he was doing. I went to the page showing who was live and went to Tristan's live first. Bryan rolled his eyes and walked off to go to his live.

"Im sorry Kai, I didnt think he was that upset."Tristan said softly.

"I'll stay in the live but Im getting off the phone."I replied.

"He's texting you isnt he?"he asked.

"Deleted my number earlier so doubt it. Is he crying Tristan?"I said.

"Yeah, he ended his live too."he muttered.

Bryan walked back over and sat next to Tristan looking at me. I bit my lip and my door opened behind me making me jump slightly. I looked back and Mattie came in laying across the bed with me. I looked over and she pointed to the living room.

"Go Kai, wouldnt want to miss the guy waiting on you."Bryan muttered.

"Im over this coming from you already. Im not with anyone Bryan so stop."I replied.

"Not doing anything but let you in to hurt me. Im done, not worth it."he replied.

"Then go back to your live. I was talking to Tristan not you."I said softly.

"Want me to go tell my live what you did?"he asked.

"What did I do that was so horrible to you?"I asked.

"She didnt do anything Bryan grow up. The girl left for college and you turned against her the day we left there."Heidi snapped walking up.

I got up to walk in the living room and Keith looked up from the couch where he was half asleep. I walked over and sat down pulling him into my lap. I started rubbing his head and Heidi smiled when she caught a glimpse of him.

"He's cute Kai."she said getting my attention.

"I agree, doesnt like me though."I said softly.

"Stop that, I do like you."Keith muttered his eyes drifting closed.

"Not going to argue with that."I replied.

"Spoiling him rubbing his head like that."Heidi laughed.

"Bad headache and it helps."Keith said softly.

Mattie came back in the room and patted his leg walking by. He opened his eyes and made a face shaking his head. She brought a cover over to block out the light and Tristan pouted still on FaceTime. I bit my lip and felt Keith shift to get comfortable.

"I'll talk to you tomorrow Kai."Tristan said softly.

"Are you mad at me now too?"I asked.

"I get why Bryan's hurt now is all."he replied.

"Cause Im around another guy who isnt him?"I asked.

"Cause you werent going to pick him from the start Kai, you dont get it or see it but we do."he replied.

"Go ahead and have everyone delete my number, Im not doing the drama thing."I laughed.

I hung up and Mattie came to get the phone from me. I rolled my eyes and Keith got up getting my attention. He shook his head and pulled me to him laying back down. I bit my lip and he buried his face against my neck going back to sleep.

4 MONTHS GO BY...

"Babe you sure you want to go home with me?"I asked Keith while packing my stuff up.

"Beats going home with Mattie."he said softly.

"Heard that jerk."she laughed coming in the room.

"I dont want to deal with the drama next door when I get back."I spoke up.

"No drama babe I promise."he replied.

I finished packing my stuff and leaned down to kiss him softly. He smiled pulling away and his phone went off making me pout. He answered and held onto my wrist playing with the braclet I had on. I sat next to him and got a text from an unknown number since I had deleted everyones numbers from that house. He got off his call and looked over to see what I was looking at.

"You ok Kai?"Mattie asked.

"Only wanted to go home to see Tristan, they moved."I laughed.

"Babe its ok, we can still go visit your family."Keith said softly.

"We leaving then?"I asked.

"Yeah, Im ready beautiful."he replied.

I went to grab my bag and he frowned taking it from me. Mattie winked at me and I followed Keith out of the dorm. We walked downstairs after he got his bag and my phone went off again. I unlocked my phone and the FaceTime connected.

"Are you really coming home to visit?"Tristan asked.

"You guys moved so doesnt matter."I replied.

"Not all of us moved out, some new guys moved in is all."he replied.

"I'll be home in 2 hours, but Im not coming alone so there's that."I spoke up.

"He's your boyfriend, I wouldnt expect you to come alone."he said softly.

"Im getting off here, love you Tristan."I laughed.

I put the phone down on my console and Keith winked at me after putting our bags in the backseat. We got in the car and I turned the radio on to connect my phone to the bluetooth. I started driving and Keith linked our fingers together with my right hand. Music started and I kept staring glances at him while driving to my familys house. I parked next to Skylar's car and could see there was people hanging out on the deck in the backyard. We got out and Keith kissed me softly. I pulled away and looked up to see Skylar coming our way. She pulled me away from Keith and hugged him while I got our bags.

"Who is out back?"I asked.

"Tristan, Heidi, Chris, Ayla, Bryan,Tyler and some new girl."she replied.

"We'll be out there after we put our stuff in my room."I told her.

"Baby you ok?"Keith asked.

"Im fine, Im ready to see Tristan."I laughed.

He shook his head smiling and followed me inside. We took our bags to my room and I turned around to kiss him again more passionately. He bit my lip when I was pulling away and I kissed him again. He laughed and I pulled him with me towards the deck. We walked out and I heard Bryan make a noise when he saw us. I rolled my eyes and Keith kept his arm around me. I leaned back and he kissed my jaw softly.

"Kai wheres my hug?"Tristan asked getting my attention.

"Come get it."I laughed.

"Why is this guy here anyway?"Bryan asked.

"He has a name its Keith and he's here cause he's my boyfriend and I asked him to come home with me."I replied.

"Baby be nice."Keith said softly.

Tristan walked over and pulled me away for a hug. I kissed his cheek when he pulled away and Keith bit his lip watching me. Tristan shrugged and walked back over to where he had been sitting. We took the last 2 empty spots and Heidi made Tyler switch spots with her. We started talking to everyone getting caught up and I watched the new girl try to crash her lips to Bryans. He pushed her away and got up shaking his head.

"What all cause Kai is back you want to act funny?"she asked.

"I dont like you and I dont fucking like Kai anymore, just stop."he muttered.

"I didnt come back to be around the drama."I laughed getting up.

"Baby."Keith said softly.

"No Keith he's trying to get something started."I replied.

"He's not, you're just giving in to the drama."he said getting up.

"I didnt do anything but ok."I replied going back inside the house.

I sat on the couch and pulled my phone out to text Mattie. Keith came in and shook his head sitting across the room from me. I rolled my eyes texting Mattie and looked up to see him sitting there with his jaw clenched.

"Did you invite me just to rub me in his face?"he asked.

"Seriously going to ask me that."I muttered.

"It feels that way."he mumbled.

"Baby come here."I said softly.

He walked over and sat next to me biting his lip. I kissed him softly and he pulled away still pouting. I sighed and started to get up to go to my room. He grabbed my wrist and shook his head as both of our phones started going off. I sat back and heard Skylar start to come in.

"Would you and Keith want to go out to a movie and to eat with me and the guy Im dating?"she asked.

"When?"I asked.

"In a few hours."she replied.

"We'll come."Keith said softly.

"He's cute Kai."Skylar spoke up.

"He's also sweet."I replied.

"Baby can we go up?"he asked.

"Yeah, lets go."I said.

He grabbed our phones and Skylar winked at me before I pulled him out of the living room. We got up to my room and I pushed him against the door after locking it. He smirked and kissed me softly a few times. I bit his lip tugging on it when he pulled away and he backed me up to my bed. I laughed when I fell back and he hovered over me. He started kissing down my neck and I tangled my fingers in his hair pulling. He moaned and I bit my lip when he came back up.

"Sometimes I think you only want me for your needs."he muttered.

"No I want you cause Im falling for you Keith."I said softly.

"When have we ever just spent time together just talking Kai?"he asked.

"We've been dating for the last 3 months. Just cause we started out that way doesnt mean thats the reason I want to be with you."I replied.

"Im sorry."he said softly.

I sat up and he sat next to me biting his lip. We sat talking for over a hour and my door opened after my sister called my name. I looked up smiling and and Keith bit his lip.

"Seriously not even getting ready yet?"she asked.

"You said a few hours."I pointed out.

"We been up here talking."Keith replied.

"Im not getting any younger."she laughed.

"Skylar stop, we needed to talk about some stuff."I said softly.

"Are you guys coming tho?"she asked.

"Cant ever just have time with her can I?"Keith muttered.

"Baby are you ok?"I asked.

"No and I dont know whats wrong with me."he grumbled.

"Is it cause she's home and hes around?"Skylar asked.

"He's who she wanted from the start."he mumbled.

"Thanks Skylar."I muttered.

"What I do?"she asked.

"Just go on your date while I fix what you did."I laughed.

She walked out of the room rolling her eyes and I pulled him to me. He started to calm down and I looked to see his eyes drifting close. I kissed his forehead and he looked up at me with tear filled eyes.

"I wanted you from the start of us Keith, no one else."I said softly.

"Im broken."he muttered.

"I dont want anyone else baby, I love you just the way you are I promise."I replied.

"I dont want your sister mad cause we didnt go with them tonight."he muttered.

"Baby you cant even keep your eyes open right now, you're upset and clearly just need us time. She's not going to care trust me and if she does we dont have to stay here the whole break."I told him.

"Can we go see my family next week?"he asked.

"Mom, dad and my other boyfriend?"I asked making him smile.

"First girl I've been with that includes him in stuff to do with us. Kai you amaze me."he said softly.

"I love you."I told him.

"Love you too."he replied.
