When I woke I turned to see that I was in bed by myself. Killian left? Where did he go?

　　I was so worried that I did something now. I can't believe I let that happen again. I should have stopped it. But it was everything I wanted.

　　I got up got a shower and got changed. Going down to the living room I saw that the boys were all there with Mom Dad and grandpa. They were watching a movie. I sat in between my mom and Marco.

　　"What's on?" I asked clearing my voice.

　　"Some romantic movie that Mom wanted."

　　Thomas said rolling his eyes. "You can leave anytime you want." Mom said looking to him.

　　I giggled and put my head on her shoulder.

　　"Hey so I'm going out to night with Killian. He wants to go out and get a girl. If that's ok." Carlos said to my mother. What I heard. only hurt me more. I don't know what I did and why he left like that.

　　"That's fine. Just please don't come home

　　stumping drunk like Marco did last

　　weekend."

　　"Hey In my defense I wasn't that drunk."

　　Marco tried to save himself.

　　"Marco you came into my room that night and asked me if I knew where Batman had parked the batmobel." Thomas said making all of us laugh.

　　"You know we had a name for someone like you In our town." Grandpa said to Marco.

　　"What is it?"

　　"Stupido." Almost everyone knew what that meant

　　"What is that?" Marco asked...well almost

　　everyone.

　　"Don't worry son." My father patted him on the back with a look of disappointment.

　　The rest of the night was quite and everyone went to bed early. I sat up that night trying to figure out what I had done to make Killian leave so fast. It broke my heart that he has said nothing to me about anything. He used me. I let him use me. I fell asleep crying.

　　Chapter 9

　　5 Months pasted and I still hadn't talked or see Killian. I've heard from Carlos that he's somewhere in Italy with his family for vacation.

　　As the months went on me and Daniel have gotten closer. He's a sweet boy and I know that I would be happy with him. My father was most happy that we were getting a long.

　　I sat at a Long table with my family and Daniel next to me. We were having our normal Friday night dinner together.

　　"Me and the boys are going out tonight if that's alright with you guys." Thomas asked my parents.

　　"Yeah don't stay out to long we have that big lunch tomorrow for your sisters birthday." My father picked up his glass as he warned him.

　　"Oh right. Your going to be the big 19" Marco said pushing his shoulder into my side.

　　"Yes She is And we have all of the people showing up at 12:00." Mother said. My mother was getting some strength back. She was looking better but still continued to live her days in the Library. Sometimes my father will sit in there with her. It's cute that they still act like teenagers when there together. They really love each other.

　　"Well dinner was great thanks Mom." Carlos got up kissing my moms check.

　　"Boys let's go get ready." Thomas and

　　Marco left with him.

　　"Audrey I talked to my friend. He said he really liked your photos." My grandfather said with a bright smile. I had told my grandpa about the photos that I liked to take. He said he had an old friend with a photo gallery. He gave some of my work to him.

　　"He said that he would really like to talk to you about some of it."

　　"Really?" I asked sounding like a school girl.

　　"That's great Audrey." My mother smiled.

　　"She doesn't have time for that." We all looked to my father who continued to eat his stake.

　　"She's got to study for her test. She's got a real job to look out for." I had started school a few months back. My father thought it would be a good idea to go for business.

　　It was quite. I looked to Daniel and saw him

　　looking at his phone. Probably looking at

　　something for work.

　　" excuse me." I said getting up and walking out of the room. I walked to the back door and walked out letting the tears fall from

　　my eyes. I looked down at the pool that only 5

　　months ago I was swimming in. Now as the

　　October wind comes I only have the cold.

　　I remember how carefree my summer was. The nights I would spend out with the boys looking up at the stars. The trips we took to our shore house to stay for the week and have so much fun. They all seamed so far away now.

　　Looking at the empty pool I remembered that it was there me and Killian and spent that one night were I let him have something so close to me. The tears fell as I realized he was probably somewhere at a party with another girl forgetting about me.

　　I still wonder if he thinks about me. I still

　　don't know why he left me. It hurts even

　　more now when I still think about it.

　　Taking a deep breath in I wiped the tears

　　away and put a smile on my face.

　　"I'm going to head home. I have some work things to take care of. I'll see you tomorrow." Daniel smiled kissing me and he walked off to his car. I watched him leave and waved as we did.

　　When he was gone I went into the library and sat with my mother. I picked up a book and started to look through it.

　　"So are you ready for your birthday?" She beamed. I knew that she had worked hard for my party. It was the first one in years that I was spending with the family.

　　"Yes. Thank you again for letting me have one."

　　"Of course sweetie. Now why don't you go get some rest. You have a big day a head" I smiled and got up kissing her on the head. "Goodnight Mother." I said as I walked out

　　of the room to my room.

　　I got a shower and dried off. I put a long t-shirt on that covered me so I didn't need shorts. Walking to my bed I looked at the dress I had to wear tomorrow. It was classy and elegant. My mother wanted me to wear it because we had most of my fathers clients coming over.

　　I sighed and got into bed. I don't know how

　　long it took but I did fall asleep.

　　Chapter 10

　　The next morning I got up really late. It was close to 11:40 when I woke so I got up and started rushing to get ready.

　　I did my hair and makeup and got into my dress

　　When I was done it was 12:15. I rushed down the stairs and went to our ball room that was decorated. When I walked in everyone screamed happy birthday.

　　I made my way to my mother after I Thanked them.

　　"Your late." She smiled looking around at everyone.

　　"I'm sorry I over slept." She pulled me close

　　and gave me a hug.

　　"Happy birthday." I smiled and hugged her back.

　　"There's the birthday girl." Marco said

　　pulling me to him.

　　"Alright my turn." Thomas pulled me from

　　him to give me a hug.

　　"Thank you guys." I said looking at them.

　　"Daniel was looking for you." Carlos came

　　up behind me and giving me a hug.

　　"Thank you. I was actually going to go look

　　for him."

　　I walked over to a group of Daniels friends none that I knew. I saw Daniel talking to some of them and I walked up to him.

　　"Hey birthday girl." He said pulling me to

　　him and kissing me.

　　"Hey."

　　"Let's go get a drink." He pulled me off and I followed with him. He got me a drink and

　　we walked over to a table.

　　When we sat Daniel placed a box in front of

　　me.

　　"What is this?" I asked lookin at it with a

　　smile.

　　"It's a gift." I looked at it making him laugh. "Well...Open it." I ripped the paper off and opened it.

　　It was a necklace with a pretty gold rose on it.

　　"If you don't like it it's ok." I smiled sitting up and giving him a kiss.

　　"I love it. Could you put it on for me." I turned around and handed it to him. He clipped the necklace on for me and I smiled.

　　"I have to go talk to some people but I want you and I to go out tonight. Just me and you." I smiled and nodded my head. "Ok sounds great." He smiled leaving me and walking off to talk to people.

　　I took my drink and when I finished I got

　　up to get another one.

　　"Looks like you haven't changed." I looked to the side of the bar to see Killian standing in a nice suite. His hair was slicked back and he had his normal smile.

　　I couldn't believe at first that I saw him. I was shocked. Then I got angry tuning and walking off.

　　"Don't scream." I knew that voice.

　　"Killian please let me go." I said as a tear fell down my face. The lights were turned on and I saw that we were in my fathers office.

　　I went under his arms fast and walked to

　　the other side of the room. "I missed you." Was that the best he had? I missed you.

　　"Don't lie." I hissed wiping the tear off my

　　face.

　　"But I did. Audrey all I thought about was

　　you." He tried to get to me but I stopped

　　him.

　　"Stop with this Killian. I don't want this. You broke me. You happy." I cried.

　　He placed his hands to my face "no I'm not. God Audrey I'm so sorry." I pushed his

　　hands away and slapped him. "You got what you wanted. I was just a simple fuck wasn't I?" I saw his eyes get

　　mad.

　　"No you weren't. Don't ever think that." He

　　shouted.

　　"Really? Because you never called the night after You left me." The last part came out more of a whisper.

　　"I had to Audrey." I shook my head with tears streaming down my eyes.

　　"Why? Why did you have to?"

　　"Audrey your just a kid. You have so much to learn before I can even be in your life." He said making my heart hurt. I'm just a kid?
