she had to learn How to grow up living in a war that
she called hom Never knew where to turn for shelter
from the storm It hurt me to see the pain across my
mother's face Every time my father's fist would put
her in her place...Bruises fade father but the pain
remains the same And I still remember how you kept me
so afraid The strength is my mother for all the love
she gave And every morning that I wake I look back at
yesterday And I'm OK"

Chapter1:
*ring ring*
Twenty two year old Lynzee DeMarcos,was awakened by
the sound of her phone ringing.Groaning,she rolled
over,and squinted through the darkness at her
clock.The red digital numbers read,12:35 am.Switching
on the light,she picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Lynzee?"She heard the familar male voice say."It's
me,Aaron."
"Aaron,why the hell are you calling me so late?"
"I,I'm sorry,Lynzee."He apologized."It's just I-.I
don't have anyone else to call."Lynzee sat up in
bed,when she heard the tone of his voice.It sounded as
if he were...
"Aaron,are you crying?"She asked.He sniffeled,
"No."
"What's wrong?"
"You have to come get me,Lynzee."He said,ignoring her
question."Please.I,I can't go back home."
"All right."She said,not asking why."Where are
you?"She grabbed a piece of paper and a pen,and
quickly wrote down his location.
"I'll be ther eas soon as I can."She told him.
"Just hurry,Lynzee."Was the last thing he said,before
haning up.She set the phone back in it's cradle,and
got out of bed.She hurriedly got dressed,then went
into the next room,and picked up her sleeping
daughter,Serenity from her bed.The little girl opened
her eyes,
"Mommy?"
"Shh,it's okay,baby."Lynzee said,softly."We're just
going for a little ride."The little girl nodded,and
closed her eyes again.Lynzee locked the front door,and
walked over to her car.She strapped Serenity into her
car seat,then got into the driver's seat.She put the
key in the ignition,and sped off to where Aaron was.
This whole thing wasn't anything new to Lynzee.She'd
known Aaron for four years,and this wasn't the first
time he'd called her needing her to come get him
because he'd left home.He never really told her why he
ran away,but Lynzee didn't have to be told.She knew he
lived in a troubling enviorment,and that was the cause
for his constant leaving.She didn't fully know what
went on in the Carter household,because Aaron really
didn't like talking about it.But Lynzee had her
suspicions.And until he told her himself,there was
really nothing she could do,but pick him up where he
went,and take him back to her place where he'd be
safe.
When she got to the bus stop,she saw him sitting on
the bench hunched voer.He looked up when he heard the
car approaching.Seeing it was her,he grabbed his back
pack,and ran up to her car.He dropped his bag on the
floor,and climbed in.
"Are you okay?"Lynzee asked,expecting the same "I'm
fine."answer from him.But this time,he turned to look
at her,and she gasped in shock when she saw the large
bruise on the right side of his face.She reached
out,and gently touched his face.He flinched
slightly,and said.
"It's not as bad as it looks."
"Who hit you,Aaron?"He looked away,his eyes filling up
with tears,but not answering.
"Was it one of your sisters?"He shook his head,
"No.It was my Mom."He said it so quietly,Lynzee almost
didn't hear it.
"Jane did this to you?"He slowly nodded,and Lynzee
felt the anger rise within her.
"Tell me what happened."She said,keeping her voice as
calm as possible.He stayed silent for such a long
time,she didn't think he was going to tell her.
"I,I missed my curfew."He began,his voice wavering
slightly."I didn't do it on purpose,but I just lost
track of time.And Mom and Dad were really mad when I
got home.They started yelling at me,and I-.I shoudn't
have said anything.I know better."He paused when his
voice started to breakand Lynzee's heart went out to
him.
"But I yelled back,and that made them even angrier."He
continued."Mom said I was just like Nick,always being
disrespectful,despite all the great things they do for
me.And then I,I said...I said 'If it weren't for me
and Nick making all this money,you guys wouldn't have
any to spend on all your crap,cause your too damn lazy
to get jobs.'Then Mom slapped me,and sent me to my
room.But I snuck out,and walked around for an hour
before I called you."
"You should've called me sooner,Aaron."Lynzee
said."It's not safe for you to be wandering around
alone at night."He broke down crying then,and she
pulled him into her arms.
"Shh,it's okay.It'll be all right."She
said,soothingly.When he finally calmed down,he pulled
away looking embarrassed.
"God,I'm such a baby."He muttered,wiping his eyes.
"Crying doesn't make you a baby,Aaron."She told him
gently.He just shrugged,and glanced in the backseat.
"Oh,shit.Lynzee,I'm sorry."He imediatly
apologized,when he saw Serenity asleep in her
carseat."I totally forgot about her."
"Hey,it's not big deal."Lynzee assured him."She went
right back to sleep the second the car started to
move.You ready to go now?"He nodded,and she drove back
to her house.
"You know,"Lynzee said,as they drove."If Jane finds
out you're with me,she'll probally have me
arrested."Aaron looked over at her,
"She wouldn't have you arrested."Lynzee laughed,
"Yeah,she would.Jane hates me,Aaron."
"She doesn't hate you."Aaron said."She just doesn't
like that you always butt into our business.And she's
not too thrilled that you had Nick's baby."
"Well,that makes two of us."Lynzee,said under her
breath."You know she wouldn't be happy if she knew you
were with me."
"They probally haven't even noticed that I'm
gone."Lynzee didn't fail to miss the bitterness in his
voice,and started to say something.But thought against
it,allowing them to ride the rest of the way in
silence.She desperatly wanted to know more about what
happened,if this was the first time Jane had hit her
son.But Lynzee figured that all her questions might
upset Aaron,and decided to wait for him to tell her
about it.
When they got to her house,Lynzee took Serenity from
her carseat,and headed inside with Aaron following
behind her.
"I'm gonna put Serenity back in bed."Lynzee said."You
can stay in the guest room."Aaron nodded,
"Okay."And headed down the hall to the room.After
putting Serenity in bed,Lynzee locked the door and set
the alarm,then went to see Aaron.When she got there,he
was already in bed.
"Do you have everything you need?"She asked.He looked
at her for a few seconds,then looked away and said.
"Yeah.Thanks for letting me stay here."She smiled,
"You're welcome.Good night,Aaron."
"Night,Lynzee."She shut the door,and headed back to
her own room.She lay in bed for a long time thinking
about the situation,before finally falling asleep.
Chapter2:
Lynzee woke up the next morning,around seven
thirty.She walked outside and got he newspaper,then
went into the kitchen to make a phone call.
"Darcy?It's Lynzee."She said,when her co worker
answered."Listen,I know it's kinda short notice.But I
won't be able to make it in today.Yeah,Serenity's not
feeling too well,so I need to stay with her.Do you
think you can take my appointements for me?"She paused
to listen."You can?Thanks so much,Darcy.Yeah.I'll most
likely be in tomorrow.Okay.I'll tell her you said
that.Bye."She hung up the phone,and went to work on
making breakfast.
Twenty minutes later,Aaron walked into the
kitchen,rubbing his eyes.
"I knew I smelled something delicious."Lynzee
smiled,and turned around.
"Well,I hope you're hun..."She trailed off when she
saw him.He was wearing nothing but a pair of
boxers,and his hair was sticking up all over the
place.'But he still looks really hot.'A voice in her
head said,startling her.'Wait.This is Aaron.I can not
think he is hot.He's only sixteen!'Be that as it
may,she couldn't stop some of the dirty thoughts that
were suddenly running through her mind.Suddenly,she
heard Aaron's voice calling her.
"Lynzee!Are you listening to me?"She snapped out of
her trance,
"Um,what?"
"This isn't making you uncomforable is it?"He
asked."What I'm wearing?" 'He shoudl say what he's not
wearing.'She thought to herself.
"Oh,um,no.Y,you're not making me uh,uncomfortable."She
said,hating the fact that he was making her
stutter.And she didn't like that smirk on his
face.'It's like he's trying not to laugh at me.'She
frowned,andquickly turned around,to fix a plate for
him.When she was finished,she practically slammed it
on the table infront of him.
"Here.I need to go wake up Serenity."Lynzee started to
leave,but Aaron reached out and grabbed her hand.She
almost jumped out of her skin,when he touched her.
"Lynzee,wait."He said."Please don't be mad.I was just
teasing you."She slowly pulled her hand away,trying
not to think of the rush of eletricity she'd felt when
he touched her.
"I,I'm not mad at you."She told him."I'm just-.I guess
my morning isn't starting off very well."He nodded,in
understanding.
"Yeah,I know that feeling."And she realized he was
talking about his family.
"Hey.We're gonna have a long talk later,okay?"She
said.
"But don't you have to work?"He asked.
"I called in sick."She answered,smiling at him.He
smiled back,
"Thanks,Lynzee."She nodded,and walked out of the
kitchen.Once she was in the hallway,she stopped and
leaned against the wall.She took a few deep
breaths,trying to stop her racing heart.'This is
silly.'She thought to herself.'I'm getting all worked
up over Aaron.'The image of him standing in her
kitchen,wearing practically nothing flashed in her
mind.She shook her head,
"Just stop it now."She quietly told herself."You are
not allowed to be attracted to him.He is only
sixteen."She told herself this a few times,then went
and got her daughter.
When she returned to the kitchen,Aaron was sitting at
the table reading the paper.Serenity squealed with
delight,when she saw him.
"Uncle Aaron!"She scrambleed out of her mother's
arms,and hurried over to him.He bent down,and pulled
her onto his lap.
"Hey!How's my little princess?"
"Miss you."She said.He kissed her cheek,
"I missed you,too."It was then that the little
girl,saw the bruise on his face.
"Happened?"She asked,placing her hand on his cheek.
"Um,I fell."He told her,and Lynzee wondered just how
many times he'd used the excuse "I fell" when it came
to his injuries.
"I make better."Serenity announced,then kissed his
face.His eyes widened,and he gasped.
"I'm cured!"He exclaimed,then starting tickeling
her.Lynzee smiled,then went over and picked her up.
"Time for brekafast,sweetheart."And she placed her in
her highchair.
After breakfast,Lynzee got Serenity dressed,then left
her nextdoor with one of her friends,so she could talk
with Aaron in private.When she returned,she found him
laying on the couch,flipping through the channels on
the tv.She was baout to head over there,when the phone
rang.
"Hello?"
"Lyznee,is my son with you?"Jane Carter asked.
"Nope,sorry."Lynzee said."I haven't seen Nick in
months."
"Not him!"Jane snapped."My other ungrateful son."
"I'm sorry,Jane."Lynzee said,through clenched
teeth."But Aaron isn't here."She glanced towards the
living room,and saw Aaron sitting up and watching her
curiously.
"You better not be lying to me,Lynzee."Jane
warned."Because if I find out that Aaron is there,I
swear I'll-."
"You'll what?"Lynzee interupted."Call the police and
have me arrested?Go ahead.And I can tell them what a
shitty parent you are.But I really think they'll be on
my side,opposed to your's being that I'm keeping Aaron
safe."
"He's perfectly safe here."Jane said.Lynzee snorted,
"That's a laugh.You know you can make all the threats
that you want,because I'm not afraid of you."
"I want Aaron home by tonight."Jane said.
"Well,when and if I see him,I'll be sure to pass the
message along to him."With that being said,Lynzee hung
up the phone.'God,that woman makes me so angry.'She
waited for her anger to pass,then walked into the
living room.
"You and I really need to talk."She said,and Aaron
sighed.
"Okay,okay."
"And I want the truth."He nodded,
"It'll be the truth.I promise."
Chapter3:
"So what did my mother say to you?"Aaron asked.
"Are you trying to change the subject?"Lynzee asked.He
shook his head,
"No.I just want to know what she said."
"Nothing really important."Lynzee answered."Just that
you and Nick were ungrateful sons,and that you needed
to be home by the end of the day.Oh,and she threatened
me."Aaron sighed,
"I'm sorry I dragged you into this."
"You didn't drag me into anything."She told him."I got
involved in this the day I decided to hook up with
your brother.Besides,it's not such a bad thing.You
Carters keep my on my toes."He smiled lgithly,then it
faded.
"I still feel bad about all the bad stuff my parents
are always saying about you."
"Well,don't."She said."It doesn't btoehr me.Okay,new
subject.How long has that bitch been beating you?"He
looked at her,
"What makes you think last night wasn't the first
time?"
"I've known you for four years."She said."I'm not
stupid,okay?I always had a feeling that something was
going on,but you wouldn't tell me.So how long?"
"Since Nick moved out."Aaron asnwered,quietly.
"Jesus.That long,huh?"Lynzee mumbled."Do Leslie and
Angel know anout it?"
"They live there,Lynzee."He said."Of course they
know."
"Well,why haven't they done anything?"She asked.
"Like what?"He wanted to know.
"Like try and stop it.Or tell someone."
"If they tried to stop it,they'd probally get
hit,too."He said."Besides,Leslie doesn't give a shit
about me.As long as Mom isn't on her case,Leslie
doesn't care what happens to the rest of us.She's too
caught up in her own little world to even notice
what's going on.And as for Angel,well I-.I don't want
her to worry about me.She's the only one they haven't
fucked up as bad as the rest of us."
"Aaron,you're not-."Lynzee started to say,but he cut
her off.
"We are fucked up,Lynzee.You know it,and I know
it.Everyone said we'd end up this way,and now it's too
late to change anything.I should've stopped
sooner.Maybe if I had,I'd be a normal teenager."
"Don't say that."Lynzee said."You are normal.Sure
you've got some problems,-."He smirked,
"That's an understatement."
"But it's not your fault."She continued."Your mother
caused all those problems.She forced you into
stardom,robbing you of ever having a real childhood."
"She didn't force me.I wanted to do this."He
corrected.
"Yes,but this was supposed to be the year you
stopped,remember?"Lynzee said."You were gonna study
marine biology,but Jane took that away from
you,too."She reached out,and touched his arm.
"You are not fucked up,okay?I don't want you to day
that again."He looked into her eyes,
"The only time I'm really normal,is when I'm with
you."Feeing uncomfortable under his intense stare,she
tried to look away,but he cupped her face in his
hands.
"Aaron,please."She said,still trying to move away.
"Just let me say this,Lynzee."He said."You're the only
person in my life,that's never hurt me.And I just wish
that I could stay here with you forever."As he
spoke,he gently ran his fingers over her face.
"If I could stay with you forever,"He whispered."Then
I'd never be sad again.Please,Lynzee.Don't make me go
back there."She trembled slightly,when her ran his
fingers over her lips.
"Aaron,stop.P,please stop."It took every ounce of her
willpower to say those words.He instantly dropped his
hands,hurt written all over his face.
"And now you hate me."He said,sadly."God,I can't
fucking do anything right."And he turned away from
her.She sighed,
"Aaron,I don't hate you.It's just-.I wish you could
stay here.Really I do.But you know that it's
impossible.Jane would never allow it."He looked at her
again,and she saw so many emotions in his dark
eyes.Sadness,pain,confusion,lust,longing,and maybe
even love.But it was the pain that stood out the
most.At that moment,all she wanted to do was to make
that pain disapear.And against her better
judgement,she moved closer to him,and he pulled her
into his arms.
"I need you so much,Lynzee."He said,gently kissing her
neck."Please don't ever leave me.It would hurt me so
much if you did that."
"I won't leave you."She promised,closing her eys as
his lips travled up her throat.When she opened them
again,his mouth was inches away from hers.
"I need you,Lynze."He said,again.Then he covered her
mouth with his,in a soft kiss.
Chapter4:
Lynzee allowed herself to get lost in the kiss for a
few seconds,but then reality kicked in,and she quickly
pulled away.
"Aaron,stop."He looked at her in confusion,
"Why?"
"Because it's wrong."She said,moving away from him.
"But,Lynzee.I need you."He said,reahcing out for
her.She shook her head,and got off the couch.
"Aaron,don't."He stood up as well.
"Lynzee,please don't leave me."The pain in his
voice,broke her heart.But she had to stay strong.
"I'm not leaving you.We just can not be together like
this."
"Why?"He demanded."Give me one good reason why we
can't do this."
"You're only sixteen years old."She reminded him."And
I'm twenty two.This would-."
"I didn't ask you for a god damned math lesson!"He
yelled,causing her to jump in surprise.After a few
seconds of silence passed,he calmed down.
"Lynzee,I'm sorry."He apologized."It's just-.I love
you,Lynzee."
"I love you,too,Aaron."She said,not totally sure she
understood what he was saying.Aaron shook his head,
"No,not like that.I'm in love with you."She blinked in
shock,then said.
"No.No,you don't love me like that."
"Yes,I do."He insisted."And you love me,too."
"No,I don't."She said,but didn't put much feeling into
it.
"You're lying,Lynzee."All of the sudden,he had her
backed up against the wall.
"I know you love me.I could feel it when we kissed,and
you felt it,too.Didn't you?"As much as she wanted to
deny it,she couldn't.Because she had felt something
when he had touched her in the kitchen,and she'd felt
the same thing again when they had kissed.But there
was no way she could admit it to him.
"Didn't you?"He asked again.
"No."She answered,as firmly as she could.
"You say no,but your heart and I both know
better."Aaron told her."I can see it right now in your
eyes,that you're lying,Lynzee.You feel the same way
about me."She shook her head,
"No,I don't."She tried to move away,but he grabbed her
arms,and held her in place.
"Aaron,let me go."
"Lynzee,just listen to me.I have been in love with you
since the day I met you."He said."And I tried to deny
it,the same way you're doing right now.But I can't do
that.My heart won't let me.I don't care about the age
difference.I love you,Lynzee."
"Please,stop."She begged,her eyes full of tears."You
don't love me.You can't."
"Why not?"He wanted to know,wiping away a tear that
had fallen down her face.She moved away from his
touch,and said.
"You just can't."He caught the desperation in her
voice,and gently touched her cheek.This time she
didn't move away.But just as his lips were about to
touch hers,she pushed him away.
"Aaron,stop it."She sighed,in frustration."I think you
need to go home."His jaw dropped,
"What?"She nodded,
"you heard me.I promised Jane that you would be home
by the end of the day."
"But Lynzee,I-."His gaze suddenly hardened."Fine.I'll
leave."She watched him walk away,and fought the urge
to cry.'This is for the best.'She told herself,even if
she didn't really believe it.
Twenty minutes later,Lynzee pulled her car up the
curb infront of Aaron's house.He jerked his seatbelt
off,and started to get out.
"Aaron,wait."She said.He looked at her,his eyes angry.
"What?"
"I know you're upset with me,but I need you to promise
me something."He waited for her to continue."If
something happens between you and your mother,I want
you to call me,okay?And I'll come get you.Will you
promise me that,Aaron?"He stared at her for a few
seconds,then said.
"Yeah,whatever."And he got out of the car,slamming the
door behind him.She watched him walk up to the
house.He paused just before entering,and for a second
she thought;hoped he would turn back and look at
her.But instead,he just went inside.As soon as the
door closed,Lynzee started to cry.
"Please don't let him hate me for too long."She
whispered."Please let me be doing the right
thing."After a few minutes,she finally composed
herself,and started the car back up.She was about to
drive away,when she heard a door slam.Thinking it
might be Aaron,she looked back towards the house.But
it wasn't Aaron.It was his twin sister,Angel,and she
was headed towards Lynzee's car.Or that's what Lynzee
thought.But quickly saw that she wasn't.Infact,it
didn't even look like Angel had even noticed
her.Lynzee watched Angel walk past her car,towards a
house across the street.Lynzee would've thought she
was just visiting a friend.But the way Angel kept
looking behind her shoulder,made Lynzee a little
suspicious.
Angel walked up to the door,and rang the doorbell.A
few seconds passed,and the door opened,to reveal a
teeneage boy.Lynzee watched as the two spoke
briefly,then the boy reached into his jacket.They both
glanced around to make sure no one was watching,then
he handed her a small plastic bag.Angel carefully
examined the bag's contents,then handed the boy a
bunch of money.He shifted through the bills,and once
he was satisfied it was the proper amount,he stuck it
in his pocket.They exchanged a few more words,then he
went back into his house,and Angel started back across
the street.Lynzee got out of her car,having a feeling
she knew what had just taken place.
"Hey,Angel!"She called out,to the younger girl.Angel
jumped in surprise,when she saw her.
"H,hey,Lynzee.What's up?"Lynzee shrugged,
"Nothing.Just dropping off your brother.Who was that
guy you were talking to?"
"Him?Oh,h,he's my uh,boyfriend."Angel replied,trying
to keep the nervousness from her voice,but faling.
"Your boyfriend?"Lynzee repeated."Does your boyfriend
always give you drugs."Angel laughed nervously,
"I,I don't do drugs,Lynzee."
"Don't lie to me,Angel."Lynzee snapped."I'm not as
stupid as your family likes to think I am,okay?Take it
from me,I know all the tricks when it comes to
drugs.So why don't you just tell me the truth?"When
Angel hesitated,Lynzee quickly added.
"Or if you want,we could go have a chat with your
mother.I'm sure you'd have no problem telling
her,right?"And she started towards the house.
"No!"Angel cried,grabbing her arm."Okay,okay.I'll tell
you."
Chapter5:
Lynzee walked back into her house,Serenity toddeling
behind her.
"Time for your nap,sweetheart."
"Kay,Mommy."And the little girl hurried off to her
room.After she was asleep,Lynzee went into the living
room,and fell back onto the couch.'God,what a day.'She
thought to herself.She shut her eyes,replaying her
conversation with Angel in her mind.
'I've been using for about two years.'
'Ecstasy when I'm at parties,and my friend Tammy's
house.And cocaine the rest of the time.'
*Why Angel?Why are you doing drugs?*
'It helps me forget the pain.'
*What could possibly be so bad in your life,that you
have to do this?*
'Give me a break,Lynzee.You of all people know how
screwed up my family is.'
*You really think you're the only one in this world
with problems?*
'I need them,Lynzee.You have to understand that.Life's
just too hard without them.'
*Does anybody else know about this?*
'No,and you can't tell anyone,either.'
*What about Nick?Maybe he can-.*
'I haven't seen my so called brother in over a year.He
doesn't give a shit about any of us.'
*Angel,listen to me.You don't need to be doing
this.Please,let me help you.*
'You want to help me?Then just back off.'
*But,Angel.I-.*
'Lynzee,if you're really my friend,then you'll just
leave this alone.And you won't tell anyone about
this.'
Lynzee sighed,heavily.'I can't just sit here,and
watch her destroy her life like I almost did.But what
can I do?I promised I wouldn't tell anyone.'
"God!How the hell did I get myself into this mess?"She
asked,aloud.Just then the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey,Lynzee.What's up,baby?"She groaned,
"Nick,what the hell do you want?"
"Damn,girl.Bring your claws back in."He said.
"Is there somthing that you want?"She asked.
"Well,somebody's having a bad day."He commented."I
need you advice on something."
"Not now,Nick."She said."I can't deal with anymore
problems from you Carters."
"What are you talking about?"Nick asked,confusion in
his voice.
"Let's just say that several of your siblings are
treating my like I'm Dear Abby,with all of their
problems."
"Who?"
"I can't tell you."Lynzee said."I'm sworn to secrecy."
"I didn't know Aaron and the girls were having
problems."Nick said.
"That doesn't surprise me."She told him.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"He demanded.
"Angel says that you haven't seen any of them in over
a year."
"I've talked to them on the phone."He defended
himself.
"That's not good enough,Nick."Lynzee said."When you've
got a problem,you don't want to discuss it over the
phone.See,you have a tendancy to ignore your
responsibilities to your family.Speaking of which,I
haven't gotten thie month's child support from you."
"It's in the mail."He told her,and she rolled her
eyes.
"Yeah,right.Now what kind of advice do you need?"
"I thought you didn't want to deal with anymore
problems today?"He asked.
"Just start talking before I change my mind."She said.
Lynzee spent the next few days,busying herself with
her work,in an effort to forget everything that was
going on.And trying to convince herself that,even
though she hadn't heard from Aaron in almost five
days,that he was perfectly fine.But she couldn't stop
worrying about him.
"All right,Lynzee.Start talking,girl."Lynzee had just
finished with a client,when her best friend Katie
Jonson,walked into the room,and sat down on her table.
"What do you mean?"
"Something's up."Katie said."You haven't been
yourself,lately.So what's going on?"Lynzee started to
answer,but Katie quickly cut her off.
"And don't even tell me nothing."She warned."I've
known you since you were ten,and I know when
something's bothering you."Lynzee sighed,
"I want to tell you,Kat.But I promised that I wouldn't
say anything to anyone."
"Hey,I'm all for confidentiality."Katie said."But I
can tell that you know you need to talk about it.SO
don't you think you should?"
"I guess."Lynzee said."But I just..."
"I promise it'll stay between you and me."Katie
assured her."Come on,it's a slow day.I bet Darcy would
let us blow off for a few hours."
"Okay."Lynzee agreed,knowing that her friend wasn't
going to let up until she talked.
"But I have to be back by one for my next
appointment."Katie nodded,
"Deal.Let's go."
"I feel so weird."Lynzee commented,twenty minutes
later.
"Why?"Katie asked,looking at her friend.
"I'm a massage therapist.I'm used to pampering
people,not the other way around."Lynzee said.
"I think a few hours of pampering is exactly what you
need."Katie told her.
"I think you're right."The two women were at a day
spa,getting manicures and pedicures.
"So,are you going to talk or what?"
"Aaron told me he's in love with me."Lynzee said,after
a few seconds of silence.Katie,who had just taken a
dip of her Evian,spit it out when she heard those
words.
"Get out!"
"That was disgusting,Kat."Lynzee said,frowning."And
I'm serious."
"Sorry.Now give me details."So Lynzee told her friend
what had happened five days earlier.
"Then I told him that it was wrong,and he got mad at
me,and I took him home.And I haven't heard from him
since."She concluded.Katie shook her head,in
disbelief.
"Damn.What are you going to do?"Lynzee shrugged,
"I don't know.What do you think I should do?"
"Ya got me."Katie said.
"Gee,thanks for the help,Kat."Lynzee said,sarcasticly.
"Sorry,I just don't know.This is one hell of a
prediciment you got yourself in to."Lynzee sighed,
"I know.I just wish I knew if he was alright."
"Man,I knew that Jane was one whacked out bitch.But
who would've thought she'd beat her own kids?"Katie
said.
"God,I feel so horrible about that."Lynzee said.Katie
looked at her,
"Why?You couldn't have known,girl."
"But I should have.I mean,I always had these
suspicions that something wasn't right."Lynzee told
her.Katie reached over,and took her friend's hand.
"Don't go blaming yourself,Lynz.It's not your fault."
"So how do you feel about Aaron?"Katie asked,as the
two drove back to the salon were they worked.
"I'm not entirely sure."Lynzee confessed.
"Do you share his feelings?"
"I'll admit I really enjoyed it when he kissed me."She
said."And the way he touched me...God,Kat.I can't
describe the feeling."
"I think you've got it bad for the kid."Kaite said.
"See,that's just it,Lat."Lynzee said."He's just a
kid."
"Lynz,have you looked at him recently?He's more of a
man than you care to admit.And I bet if you would
accept that,then this whole thing wouldn't bother you
so much."Lynzee thought about that for a few
seconds,then sighed in frustration.
"I don't know what I should feel.Or think for that
matter."She suddenly thought about Angel.
"Hey,Kat?Have you known anybody that does drugs?"Katie
glanced at her,
"You mean besides us?Not really.Why?Aaron on
drugs?"Lynzee shook her head,
"Not him.Angel."Katie's eyes widened,
"Angel?Sweet,innocent,little Angel?You're
kidding,right?"
"Unfourtantly she's not as innocent as everyone
thinks."And she told her friend what she knew.
"I think you need to tell Nick about this."Katie
advised,when she had finished."Aaron's being
abused,Angel's on drugs,who knows what's going on with
Leslie.Somebody's gotta get those kids out of
there,before it's too late.'
"I don't know how much Nick really cares."Lynzee said.
"What do you mean?"
"He hasn't seen any of them in over a year."
"Well,something has to be done."Katie said.Lynzee
nodded,
"I know.But what?"
Chapter6:
"All right,Lynzee."Nick said,as he walked into her
house."What's this big emergancy that's so damn
important,you had to drag me all the way out here?"
"Yeah,like you were all that busy in LA."Lynzee
said,sarcasticly."Just follow me."When they walked
into the living room,Serenity looked up from the
picture she was drawing.
"Daddy!'She cried,her eyes lighting up.Nick scooped
her up into his arms,
"You've gotten so big,sweet pea!"He exclaimed,hugging
her tight.Serenity rested her head on his shoulder,and
said.
"Love you,Daddy."He kissed the top of her head,
"I love you,too,sweet pea."Lynzee watched them,unable
to keep the smile off her face.Nick may not have
treated her as well as he should have when they were
togther,but it was obvious just how much he loved his
daughter.
"Come on,Daddy."Serenity said,scrambling out of his
arms."Play tea party wif me."
"In a little while,sweet pea."Nick told her."Mommy and
I have to talk first,okay?"The little girl nodded,
"Okay,Daddy."And went back to her drawing.Lynzee
headed into the kitchen,and Nick followed her.
"She's changed so much since I saw her last."Nick
said,sitting down at the kitchen table."She didn't
know as many words then."Lynzee nodded,
"Well,a lot does change in six months."He sighed,
"I'm sorry,Lynzee.I know I should see her more often."
"Yeah,you should."She agreed."But we both know that
you won't,so do us all a favor and don't go promising
her that you will see her soon.Cause I really don't
want to have to see the hurt in her eyes when she
realizes you're not gonna show up."
"Lynzee,did you ask me to come here just so you could
knock my parenting skills?"He asked.'You actually have
to have parenting skills for me to knock them.'She
thought to herself,but didn't say this to him.
"You're right,Nick."She said."That's not why I asked
you here."
"So what's up?"He asked.Lynzee was silent for several
seconds,wondering how she should approach the
subject.She had to choose her words carefully,or else
a fight would be started,and that's not what she
wanted.
"When you and BJ were still living with your
parents,did anything unusual ever happen to either of
you?"Nick looked at her in confusion.
"Like what?What do you mean?"
"Did either of your parents ever do anything to you or
BJ,that maybe wasn't right?"
"What the hell are you trying to imply,Lynzee?"Nick
asked,a hint of anger in his voice.
"Nick,calm down."She said."Aaron was here about two
weeks ago,and he had this really bad bruise on his
face."Nick shrugged,
"So?He probally got it roughing around with his
friends."Lynzee shook her head,
"Nick,Jane did it to him."Nick shot out of his
chair,knocking it over.
"You fucking take that back right now!"He ordered."How
dare you talk about my mother that way."
"Nick,I am telling you the truth."Lynzee tried to keep
her voice calm,hoping that if she did,Nick himself
would calm down as well.
"No,you're not.You're the same lying bitch you were
when we were going out.You were always making up
stories about my parents,and I will not listen to you
do it again,Lynzee."
"I was telling the truth then,when I said that
something was going on,and I am telling the truth
now."Lynzee said,standing up."I would never lie about
seomthing like this,Nick.Your mother has been abusing
Aaron for a long time"
"I'm warning you,Lynzee."Nick said,his voice full of
anger."Shut up while you still can."But she refused to
back down.
"This is my house,Nick.And when you are in my
house,you don't get to make the rules,I do.So keep
your threats to yourself.You know,I don't even know
why I asked you here.You obviously don't care about
what happens to your brother or sisters.So I'm going
to ask you nicely.Get out of my house."She started to
walk away,but he grabbed her.
"Don't you walk away from me!'He yelled,slamming her
up against the refridgerator.Pain rocketed through her
body,and she desperatly tried to push him away from
her.
"Let me go!"But he had a death grip on her.His hand
flew up,and she braced herself for the
impact.Suddenly,a samll voice filled the room.
"Mommy?Daddy?"They both turned,and saw Serenity
standing in the doorway,looking terrified.Nick quickly
released Lynzee,and she fell to the floor.
"It's okay,sweetheart."Lynzee said,trying to sit
up,despite the throbbing pain in her head."Daddy and I
were just having a little disagreement.We didn't mean
to scare you,did we Nick?"He looked at his daughter,
"No.I'm sorry,sweet pea.You go back to coloring."The
child stood there afew seconds longer,then finally
left.When she was gone,Lynzee slowly stood back up.
"Lynzee,I didn't mean-."She pushed him away,when he
tried to touch her.
"Don't you are touch me."She glared at him."What the
hell were you thinking?Our daughter is in the next
fucking room!"
"I know,and I'm sorry,Lynzee.I shouldn't have-."She
interupted him again.
"I don't want to hear it.Let's get a few tings
straight,Nick.I am no longer yuor girlfriend,which
means you don't get to slam me around anymore.It took
me two years to get up enough sense to leave you,and
I'll be damned if I'm gonna let you make me your
victim again.You ever lay a hand on me again,and I'm
calling the cops.DO you understand?"He nodded,not
looking at her.
"Good.You go play with Serenity,I'll be back in and
hour or so."And Lynzee headed for the front door.
"Wait.Where are you going?"Nick asked.She turned
around,her hand on the door knob.
"I am not going to give you the satisfaction of seeing
me cry."With that being said,she opened the door and
left.She got into her car,and drove off,not going
anywhere in particular.She finally came to a stop when
she got to a park.Shutting off the negine,she undid
her seatbelt,and slwowly lay down across the seats.The
previous event played over in her mind,and she fought
the urge to cry.Just like she had done so many times
when she had been his girlfriend,she thought about the
conversation,and wondered what she could have said to
prevent what happened from happening.Tried to figure
out what she could have said that wouldn't have set
him off.When she felt the wetness on her cheeks,she
angerily wiped them away.
"No.No more tears over him."She told herself."It's
over and done with,and you will not waste anymore
tears on him."She stayed there like that for another
hour,before returning home.
Lynzee could hear her daughter's laughter,as she
walked back into her house.She set her keys on the
hall table,and walked to her daughter's room.She
peered inside,and saw Serenity and Nick playing with
her dolls.
"Daddy silly!"Serenity laughed.Lynzee heard the phone
ringing,and went to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Lynzee!"Aaron's terror filled voice answered."You
gotta come to the hospital!I,I think my sister's
dead."Lynzee gasped,
"Angel's dead?!"
"What?!"Lynzee turned around,and saw Nick stanidng
behind her.She motioned for him to be quiet.
"Not Angel."Aaron said,tearfully."It's Leslie.She,she
fainted!And we couldn't get her to wake up."
"All right,calm down."Lynzee told him."Just tell me
which hospital you're at,and I'll be right there."
"We're at County hospital,on the third floor."
"I'm on my way."Lynzee said,and hung up.
"What's going on?Is Angel ookay?"Nick asked,franticly.
"Angel's fine."Lynzee said."Leslie passed out,and they
couldn't get her to wake up.Go get the car started,I'm
gonna drop Serenity at the neighbors.I don't want to
take her to the hospital.I'll be there in just a
minute."And Lynzee went to get her daughter.
Chapter7:
Leaving Nick to search for a parking spot,Lynzee
hopped out of the car,and hurried into the
hospital.She took the elevator up to the third
floor,and scanned the halls looking for Aaron.When she
finally saw him,she called out.
"Aaron!'He jumped out of his chair,and ran over to
her.She wrapped her arms around him,and held him,while
he cried into her hair.
"Shh,it'll be okay."She said,trying to calm him
down."How's Leslie doing?"
"I,I don't know."He choked out."They won't tell us
anything!"Lynzee kissed his cheek,
"All right.Everything's gonna be okay."She led him
over to one of the couches,and they sat down.He leaned
against her,and she held him close,whispering to him
that his sister was going to be all right.
Angel watched the encounter between the two from
across the room,and despite how worried she was about
her older sister,she was happy for her twin.Though
Aaron had never admitted it to her,Angel knew he was
in love with Lynzee.And not because it was extremly
obvious,because he actually hid his emotions from
everyone pretty well,up until this point.But because
Angel had spent enough time around her brother to know
how he was feeling,even when he was hiding it.Call it
a twin thing,but she always knew.
Angel's smile quickly faded,though,when her older
brother Nick rushed into the waiting room.Nick frowned
when he saw his younger brother being consoled by his
ex girlfriend,but remembering why he was at the
hospital,Nick shruggged it off,and ran over to his
sister.
"Are you all right?"He asked,touching her arm.
"I'm fine,Nick."Angel replied,moving away from
him."Leslie is the one that collapsed,not me."
"What happened?"Nick wanted to know,but Angel didn't
answer him.
"Angel?"She turned away from her brother,making him
wonder why she was upset with him.Seeing his older
brother,Aaron hurried over to him.
"I'm so glad you're here,Nick."Nick hugged his brother
back,then asked.
"Aaron,what happened to Leslie?"
"I really don't know."Aaron said."One minute she was
fine,then the next she wasn't.She'd been gone all
day,and when she finally came back,she looked really
sick.I mean,her skin was really pale,and she looked
like she was gonna pass out at any second.Angel and I
were eating some pizza,so I offered Leslie a piece.She
took two bites,then ran straight to the bathroom,and
threw up.A few minutes later,Angel and I heard this
loud thump,and when we went to see what it was,Leslie
was laying in the hallway iunconscious.She wouldn't
wake up,so I called 911,and here we are."
"Where's Mom and Dad?"Nick asked.
"They went to Atlanta for the weekend."Aaron answered.
"Have you tried to call them?"Lynzee asked.Aaron
nodded,
"I couldn't get a hold of them.Both of their cell
phones are turned off,and they didn't bother to tell
us where they were staying."
"I don't believe this.I can't believe that they'd just
leave without leavin a number so you guys could reach
them."Nick said."What the hell do they expect you to
do in an emergency?"
"God,do you even care?!"Angel suddenly yelled."I
mean,why the hell are you even here,anyway?Shouldn't
you be in LA working on your "music"?Afterall,isn't
that more important to you?"Nick stared at her,shocked
by her outburst.
"Angel,what is the matter with you?Why are you being
so hateful to me?"
"You damn well know why."She said,her voice full of
anger.
"No,I don't."Nick said."Come on,Angel.Talk to
me,sis."She rolled her eyes,
"Oh,don't even think about getting all fucking
brotherly with me.Quit acting like you give a shit
about us.You know you don't."
"What are you talking about?"Nick asked her."You know
I care about all of you.You,Aaron,Leslie,and BJ mean
more to me than anything else in this world."Angel
smirked,
"What a bunch of crap.You forgot mine and Aaron's
brithday this year.Then you go an disapear for a whole
fucking year,without so much as a goodbye.You barely
ever called us.And now you suddenly show up,acting
like nothing happened,and we're supposed to just
forget that you abadoned us?Well,fuck you if you
actually think I'm gonna do that."Angel got up,and ran
out of the room.
"Angel,wait!"Nick yelled,jumping to his feet,and
hurrying after his sister.Aaron sighed,
"God,I hate when she gets in those moods of
hers."Lynzee took his hand,
"Are you okay?"He looked at her,
"My entire fmaily is falling apart,Lynzee.What do you
think?"
"You could have called me sooner."She told him."I
could've done something to help.And you don't know how
worried about you I've been."
"I wanted to call you,but my Mom wouldn't let me."He
said."She was so furious with me for running
away,especially since I went to you."He
winced,remembering what had happened when he got home.
"Belive me,I've got the bruises to prove it."Lynzee's
eyes welled up,
"She hurt you that bad?"He nodded,
"I'd show you,but they're kind of in covered places."
"Oh,Aaron.I'm so sorry."She pulled him into her
arms,as a few tears slipped down her face.
"I shouldn't have made you go back there."
"Lynzee,don't cry."Aaron said,pulling away from
her."Please,it's not your fault."And he wiped her
tears away.
"Well,I'm definitly not letting you go back now."She
said."I don't care what I have to do.There is no way
I'm gonna let her hurt you anymore.Even if it means
that you have to move in with me."
"Do you really mean that?"He asked,hopefully.She
nodded,
"I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe."And on an
impulse,she leaned forward,and kissed him.When it
ended,his face was a mask of surprise.But it quickly
faded,and he pressed his mouth to hers.Ignoring all
the warning voices in her head,Lynzee pulled him
closer,deepening the kiss.Feeling his tongue pushing
against her lips,she parted them,inviting him in.AS
his tongue gently carressed her own,she whimpered into
his mouth.This went on for a few minutes,before they
broke apart.Their foreheads were pressed together,and
they stared into each other's eyes,both breathing
hard.
"Wow."She breathed."That was...wow."
"My sentiments exactly."He agreed,licking his lips.She
closed her eyes when he did that,fighting the urge to
moan.
"Shit,Aaron.Do you have any idea what you do to me?"
"Yeah,I do."The intense tone of his voice,caused her
to re open her eyes.And when she saw all the lust
filling his eyes,she was turned on even more.
"Because you make me feel the same way."Somehow she
ended up laying underneathe him,making out
heavily,both forgetting where they were.After several
minutes,he pulled away,and looked down at her.Her
green eyes were brighter than usual,and full of the
same desire he was feeling.And her short light brown
hair was messed up,with a piece of it hanging in her
eyes.He brushed it away,and whispered.
"You are so beautiful."She blushed at his words,and
traced her lips with two of his fingers.He was caught
off gaurd,when she drew them into her mouth.He watched
completely transfixed,as she sucked on his fingers.And
when she started to swirl her tongue around them,he
had a mental image of her doing that to his cock,and
he started ot get hard.Feeling his hardness pressing
into her,she slipped one of her hands between them,and
started to rub him thtough his jeans.
"Oh God,Lynzee."He moaned,loudly."I love you so
much."She suddenly stopped her actions,and let his
fingers fall from her mouth.
"Aaron,I-."She started to say,when they suddenly
heard.
"Mr.Carter?"They both turned and saw a doctor standing
there.Aaron quickly got off of Lynzee,and said.
"Is my sister okay?"The doctor nodded,
"Leslie is going to be just fine.What caused her to
faint isn't at all life threatening."Aaron breathed a
sigh of relief.
"Thank God."
"What did make her faint?"Lynzee asked,as she finished
straightening her clothes.
"Well,I examined her throughly,asked her some
questions,and came to one conclusion."The doctor
paused,and looked at Aaron.
"It seems that your sister is pregnant."
Chapter8:
"Angel!"Nick called,as he ran after his sister."God
damn it.Would you stop?!"
"Leave me alone!"She yelled at him.Then she bolted
into the ladies room,knowing that he couldn't follow
her.Nick stood infront of the door for a few
seconds,before bargin in.Angel shrieked when she saw
her brother.
"Nick!Get out!"
"I am not leaving until you talk to me about why you
just blew up at me."He told her."And you're not
leavin,either."And he turned and locked the door.
"Have you lost your fucking mind?"She asked him.
"I just want to know what's going on with you."Nick
said."And stop swearing so much."
"Fuck you!"She snapped."You can't tell me what to do."
"Angel,you better drop the attitude real quick,or else
I'm going to-."He stopped,and sighed.
"Can't you and I just talk without fighting?"
"What were you going to say?"Angel wanted to know.
"Nothing.Just forget it."
"No,I wanna know."She said."You were gonna say "or
else I'm going to hit you",weren't you?"He looked at
her in shock,
"I would never hit you,Angel.How could you think
something like that?"
"Well,even if you did it wouldn't be so uncommon in
our family."
"What are you talking about?"Nick asked.Angel rolled
her eyes,
"Yeah,like you don't know that Mom beats the hell out
of Aaron every chance she gets.And that Dad has
smacked Leslie and me around a couple of times."Nick's
jaw dropped,
"What?!"
"Wait.You didn't know?"Angel said,in surprise."I
figured Lynzee would have told you by now."
"No,she told me.But I..."Nick trailed off,realzing
that his ex had been telling the truth.
"Oh,I get it."Angel said,knowing why her brother was
so shocked by this information."You didn't believe
her,did you?Figures.You always did think she was
nothing but a liar.Honestly,I don't know why the hell
she stayed with your sorry ass for so long.You always
treated her like shit."
"Hey,we're not talking about my past love life
here."Nick protested.
"You're right.We're talking about Aaron."Angel
said."And me and Leslie,and how our parents have
seriously fucked us up,and how you don't care."
"What do I have to do to prove to you that I do
care?"Nick asked her."I swear,if I'd known what was
going on sooner,I would have done something."
"Yeah,well.You know now.So what are you gonna do about
it?"She demanded.
When Nick and Angel returned to the waiting room,they
saw Lynzee and Aaron sitting on either side of
Leslie,who had her face in her hands,and was crying.
"What's going on?"Hearing her brother's voice,Leslie
got up,and ran over to him.
"I'm sorry,Nick!"She sobbed."I'm so so sorry."
"Leslie,what's wrong?"Nick asked,confused."What are
you sorry for?"She pulled away,her face streaked with
tears.
"I,I didn't mean to.Please don't hate me!"
"Just tell me what's wrong."Nick said."And whatever it
is,I'll fix it."Leslie started to cry harder,and shook
her head.
"You can't fix this."Lynzee walked up,and put her arm
around the younger girl.
"You need to tell him."
"Can't you?"Leslie asked,her voice full of
desperation.Lynzee shook her head,
"You need to do it.Don't worry,hon.He'll
understand."And she gave her former boyfriend a look
that told him that he better understand.
"Nick,I,I-.Um,I'm...I'm p,p,p-."Leslie broke off,and
looked at Lynzee.
"I can't do it!"
"Yes,you can."Lynzee assured her."Just say it."
"Nick,I'm pr-.I'm pregnant."Leslie finally got
out.Angel gasped,and Nick stared at her in shock.
"You're what?!"
"Nick,wait."Lynzee said,knowing he was about to loose
it.
"Shut up,Lynzee.How could you fucking let this
happen,Leslie?"
"I'm sorry."Was all she could say.
"Sorry?Sorry isn't gonna make it better,Leslie!"He
yelled at her."You're only eighteen,damn it.You just
fucking ruined your life!"
"Nick that's enough."Lynzee interveened."Screaming at
her isn't going to help matters."
"Stay out of this,Lynzee."He ordered,then looked at
his sister.
"Who's the father?"
"I,I'm not sure."Leslie said,quietly.
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"I think you need to calm down,Nick."Angel spoke
up.Ignoring his other sister,Nick grabbed Leslie by
the arms.
"Did you really fuck that many guys,that you don't
know who knocked you up?"Leslie was crying too hard to
answer him,which angered him even more.He shook her,
"Answer me,Leslie."Angel ran up,
"Stop it,Nick!You're hurting her."He just pushed her
away,and Lynzee decided to do something.
"Nick,let her go!"She tried to pull him away,but he
let go of Leslie long enough,to shove Lynzee away as
well.
"I said,stay out of this!"Suddenly a fist connected
with Nick's jaw,knocking him down onto a chair.He
looked up in surprise,and saw his younger brother
standing there.
"Don't you ever touch any of them like that
again!"Aaron yelled.He looked at Lynzee and Angel who
were standing up,and asked.
"Are you guys okay?"They both nodded,and he turned
back to his brother.
"For as long as I've known you,you've always said you
better than our parents.But you know what?You're
not.You're just as bad as they are."He walked over to
where Leslie stood,
"Come on.We're staying at Lynzee's tonight."He wrapped
his arms around her,and led her out of the
hospital,Lynzee and Angel following behind them.
Chapter9:
"Lynzee,do you really have enough room for all of
us?"Angel asked,as everyone walked into the house.
"It's only for one night."Lynzee said."Most likely you
guys will be going back home tomorrow.But you know
you're welcome to stay here as long as you want."
"I won't be going home tomorrow."Leslie
said,sadly."Once my parents find out I'm
pregnant,they'll kick me out for sure."
"You don't know that."Lynzee said.
"Lynzee,you saw how Nick reacted.My parents are gonna
be like a million times worse than that!"Lynzee
decided to change the subject.
"Okay,here's the sleeping arrangements.Angel,you and
Leslie can share the guest room.Aaron,you can stay in
my room.And I'll sleep on the couch."
"I'm not gonna make you sleep on the couch."Aaron
said."I'm sure your bed's big enough for the both of
us."Lynzee blushed,and Angel and Leslie started
giggling.
"Ooh!Aaron's got a crush on Lynzee."Leslie said,in a
sing song voice.
"Um,I gotta go get Serenity."Lynzee said,and hurried
next door.
When she returned she fed her daughter,gave her a
bath,then put her to bed.Then she sat down with Leslie
and talked with her a bit about what to expect with
her pregnancy.Finally around nine,everyone decided to
turn in for the night.
"Leslie,if you feel sick during the night,eat
these."Lynzee said,setting a plate of crackers on the
nightstand.
"They'll help settle your stomach."Leslie smiled,
"Thanks,Lynzee."
"You're welcome.Goodnight you two."And she headed for
the door.
"Goodnight."They both replied.Lynzee went into the
living room to make up the couch.Then she went to her
room to get her pillow and pajamas.The door was shut
when she got there,so she knocked.
"Aaron?Can I come in?"After a few seconds of
silence,she heard him say.
"Come in."She turned the knob,and stepped intot he
room,assuming that since he said she could enter,that
he was decent.Talk about a huge mistake.
"I just came to get my..."She trailed off;the sight
before her causing her to loose the ability of
speech.There was Aaron laying on her bed,in nothing
but a pair of white briefs.It wasn't like she hadn't
seen him in his underwear before,but the first time
she hadn't been able to see much of anything.But now
she had the perfect view of all he had to offer,and
damn if the Lord hadn't truly blessed the boy.'Shit.Is
he trying to kill me?'She wondered,trying to calm her
racing heart.She snapped back to reality,when she
heard him talking to her.
"Huh?" 'Smooth,girl.'
"I said,you're staring,Lynzee."Aaron
repeated,grinning.
"Oh,sorry."She said,feeling the heat on her face.
"I just need to get something to sleep in,and I'll be
out of here."She quickly headed over to her chest of
drawers,careful not to look at him.Knowing that if she
did,she'd give in to her desires,and do things to him
and with him that she knew were wrong.After their
little encounter at the hospital,she was determined
not to let it happen again.No matter how much she
wanted it to.
Lynzee searched through her things,trying to keep good
clean thoughts in her mind.She jupmed,when she felt a
pair of arm encircle her waist.
"Aaron,wh,what are you doing?"She asked,trying to move
away.But he tightened his hold on her.
"My offer still stands,Lynzee."He said,his voice low
and sexy in hear ear,sedning tingles all throughout
her body.
"Wh,what offer?" 'Jesus,why is it whenever I'm around
him I constantly stutter?'She said to herself,trying
again to move away.But being unsuccessful.
"I know you don't really want to sleep alone."He hands
slowly traveled from her waist up,gently carressing
her.She whimpered quietly,closing her eyes,and letting
her head fall back against his shoulder.
"You don't want to be alone.Not when you could be in
here with me."
"Oh God."She moaned,when his hands slipped inside her
blouse,grasping her brests.
"Stay with me tonight,Lynzee."He whispered,in her
ear."You know you want to."In all the time she'd known
him,never once had she ever heard him speak the way he
was now.And between his sex filled voice,and the
sensations she was feeling from his hands on her
skin,Lynzee's will to fight back was sowly
crumbling.And she hadn't even put up much of a fight
to begin with.
Somewhere in the middle of her lust filled haze,did
she notice that all of her clothes were off her
body,and sitting at her feet.He had taken them off,and
she hadn't even realized it.She just stood there in
her bra and panties.Everytime his fingers grazed her
bare skin,she felt on fire.His mouth was moving up and
down on her neck,her most sensitive area.
"Shit."She moaned,when he began to gently bite her
neck.He truned her around to face him,and all the
desire and love she saw burning in his eyes,made her
insides melt.He pulled her closer,until their bodies
were completely pressed together.He kissed her softly
on the mouth,and she wrapped her arms around
him,desperate to be closer to him.She could feel how
hard he was,and that turned her on even more.They
finally broke apart,and he spoke.
"Say it,Lynzee.Tell me that you want this as much as I
do.Tell me that you want me."This was her chance to
stop things from going any further.To do what she knew
was right,and leave the room.But instead,she pulled
his head down to her,and kissed him hungerily.And when
it ended,she whispered the words that would change her
life forever.
"I want you,Aaron.Make love to me now."
Chapter10:
After she said that,Aaron stepped back,and stared at
her in shock.
"Really?You-.I...Really?"He knew it sounded
stupid.Especially since she was laughing,but he
couldn't help it.He had been so sure she was gonna
tell him no again.
"Well,I can always go if that's what you want."Lynzee
said,smiling.
"No!I,I want you to stay.It's just-.I mean..."He was
sttutering again,and he absolutely hated that.'She
probally thinks I'm an idiot.'He thought to himself.
"Aaron?"He looked at her,and she kissed him softly.
"Don't think so much,okay?"She said,pulling him to the
bed with her.She kissed him again,then laid back on
the bed,and pulled him down ontop of her.They laid
there making out and touhcing,when he suddenly broke
away from her.
"Um,there's something I need to tell you."
"What is it?"She asked,seeing how nervous he suddenly
looked.
"It's nothing bad."He assured her."Or maybe it is.It's
just,that I-.I've never..." 'Maybe I don't have to
tell her.'He thought to himself.'I mean,there's no way
she could know,right?'He sighed.Who was he trying to
kid?Of course she'd know.
Lynzee watched him carefully,seeing the inner battle
he was having with himself.She gently touched his
face,snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Just tell me."He looked at her silently,then finally
blurted out.
"I've never had sex before."He said it so fast,she
wasn't even sure she had heard him right.
"Never?"She asked,surprised.Not that she had thought
he was going out everynight sleeping with random
girls.She just assumed that he had done it before.
"I've done stuff with girls,"He told her."But I never
went all the way with any of them."She looked at him,
"Are you sure you want to with me?"
"Positive."He answered,without hesitation."It never
felt right fooling around with those other
girls,because I didn't feel anything for them.But I
love you,and I want you to be my first."She nodded,
"All right.If you're sure."They kissed,and she could
feel just how nervous he was.She had to do something
to change that.She gently pushed him away so she could
sit up.
"Relax,Aaron."She said,moving so he was laying back
against the pillows,and she was ontop of him.
"Close your eyes."Confusion crossed his features,but
he did as he was told.She kissed his lips softly,then
started a trail of kisses down his throat.She placed a
kiss on each of his shoulders,then began kissing his
chest.He drew in his breath,when she gently ran one of
her nails over his nipple.Once it hardened,she placed
her mouth to it.
"Oh!"He gasped,as she sucked on it.After a few seconds
she stopped,and did the same to his other nipple.Then
she continued her way down.When he reached his
bulge,she glanced up at him.His eyes were closed,and
his breath was deep and shallow.She grasped the
elastic of his underwear,and slowly slide them down
and off.She licked her lips slightly,when she saw how
big he was.She gently lciked the tip of his
cock,causing him to moan loudly.Then without
hesitation,she took him into her mouth.
"Shit!Lynzee!"He cried out,his hands gripping the
sheets.She swirled her tongue around him,sucking hard
and fast.His moans were gradually becoming louder,and
she could tell he was close to him orgasm.So she
slowed her motions,then withdrew him from her mouth.
"Lynzee..."He whimpered in protest.She crawled back up
his body,and kissed him passionately.
"I want you to cum inside of me."She told him,gently
rocking her hips against his.He moaned,then flipped
them over,so he was ontop again.
"I think we need to get rid of this."He
commented,tugging on her bra.She leaned up,and helped
him take it off.Then he moved lower,and pulled off her
panties.Once she was completely naked,he just stared
at her,amazed that all of his dreams were about to
come true.
"Are you going to do soemthing,or just stare?"He
quickly snapped out of his trance,when she
spoke.Hearing her words,he grinned at her.
"Oh,I'm gonna do something all right."Then he leaned
down,and took one of her breasts into his mouth.
"Oh God."She moaned,tangeling her fingers in his
hair.While he sucked on her breast,he massaged the
other with his hand.Ending his assault on her
breasts,he moved down her body,occasionally kissing
and licking her skin.He dipped his tongue into her
navel a few times,before going lower.She quickly
spread her legs,and he chuckled.
"Anxious,are we?"Then without waiting for her to
answer,he plunged his tongue deep into her folds.
"Aaron!"She screamed,in ecstasy,her hips raising up
off the bed.He gently pushed them back down,and
started to slide his tongue in and out of her.
"Oh...God!"She moaned."Need...you..now."He lifted his
face up,and looked at her.
"What was that,baby?"She jerked his head up to
hers,and kissed him hungerily.
"I said,I want you inside me now!"He grinned,
"That's what I thought."They shared another heated
kiss,then she pulled away,and whispered.
"Look in the top drawer of my nightstand."He leaned
over,and opened the drawer,finding a package of
condoms in there.She watched as his hands shook,trying
to get it open.She sat up,and took it from him.
"Allow me."She ripped open the package,and sheathed
him quickly.She layed back down,and spread her legs
again.
"I need you now,Aaron."He didn't need anymore
presuading,and positioned himself between her.He
kissed her softly,then slowly pushed inside her....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Are you sure it was okay?"He asked her.She raised her
head up from his chest,and looked at him.
"It was perfect."She told him.
"I love you,Lynzee."He said,running his fingers
through her hair.
"Aaron,I-."She started to say,but he interupted her.
"It's okay.You don't have to say it back."
"You didn't let me finish."She said,and he looked at
her curiously.
"I was going to tell you,that even though I said a few
weeks ago that this coldn't happen.I think-no.I know
that I'm in love with you."His eyes widened,
"You are?"She nodded,
"Yeah.I love you,Aaron."He leaned up,and kissed her
passionately.They spent the next few minutes
kissing,before falling asleep in each other's arms.
Chapter11:
The first thing Lynzee noticed when she woke up the
next morning,was how comfortable she felt laying in
Aaron's arms.'I could stay like this forever.'She
thought to herself,smiling slightly.That's when she
also got the feeling that she was being watched.And
sure enough when she looked up,she saw Aaron staring
down at her.He smiled,
"Good morning,baby."
"Morning."She said,yawning."How long have you been
watching me?"
"All night."He answered.She blinked in surprise.
"You stayed up all night watching me sleep?Why?"
"Cause I was afraid if I went to sleep,I'd wake up and
you wouldn't be here,and realize it had just been
another dream."He replied,quietly.Lynzee was
shocked.That was the most beautiful thing anyone had
ever said to her.
"It wasn't a dream."She assured him."And I'm not going
anywhere.Not after last night."To prove it to him,she
leaned up,and kissed him softly on the mouth.As the
kiss deepened,he moved so he was ontop of her.Just as
things were heating up,she suddenly pulled away,and
said.
"Did you hear that?"
"I don't hear anything."Aaron murmmerd against her
skin,as he sucked softly on her neck.
"Aaron,I'm serious.Listen."He stopped his actions,and
they both lay there listening.A few seconds later,they
both heard a small voice call out.
"Mommy!"
"Serenity's awake."Lynzee said.Aaron sighed,and rolled
off her.
"Pefect timing."
"I'm sorry.But you knew we weren't alone in the
house."Lynzee said,putting on his shirt."Just be glad
we weren't interupted by one of your sister's walking
in on us.Get dressed and meet me in the kitchen,and
I'll make us all breakfast."She gave him a quick
kiss,then hurried out of the room.
Lynzee stood infront og the stove cooking,when she
felt a familar pair of arms wrap around her.
"What are you doing?"
"Do you have any idea how incredibly sexy you look in
my shirt?"Aaron asked,as he trailed kisses up and down
her neck.
"Aaron stop."She said,gently pushing him away."What if
one of your sisters sees us?"
"So what if they do?I don't care."She pulled away,when
his hands started to creep up her shirt.
"We can do this later."She started to walk over to the
table,but he grabbed her,and pulled her back.
"Aaron,what are you-."He cut her off by kissing her
hugrily.
"I don't want to wait until later."He said,pressing
her up against the refridgorater."I want you now."Not
giving her chance to protest again,he quickly kissed
her.She moaned into his mouth as he sucked on her
tongue,and forgot all about what she had been saying.
Outside the kitchen stood Aaron's sisters,who were
watching the scene infront of them with interest.
"I told you they'd hook up!"Leslie whispered to
Angel,happily."You owe me twenty bucks."
"What?!I never said they wouldn't get together."Angel
protested.
"Yeah you did.You said Lynzee would never go for
it,cause of the age difference.And I bet you twenty
bucks that she would.Well as you can see,she did,and
they're together.Which means I win the bet.So pay
up."Leslie demanded,quietly.Angel sighed,
"Fine.Damn it.I'll be right back."And she left.Leslie
grinned,then turned her attention back to the kitchen.
"Well,better break up the love birds before they get
freaky in the kitchen."She coughed loudly,and waited
until the couple broke apart,before going in.
"Good morning,Aaron.Lynzee."
"Morning,sis."Aaron said,looking upset about the
interuption.Leslie fought the urge to laugh at the
look on his face.
"How are you feeling,Leslie?"Lynzee asked."Any morning
sickness?"
"Not yet."Leslie answered,as she sat down."I'm
actually really hungry."
"That's good.You may be one of teh few women who don't
get morning sickness."Lynzee said,handing her a plate
of food.
"I think I'm too scared to be sick."Leslie
confessed."Mom and Dad are gonna kill me,I jsut know
it."Aaron reached across the table,and squeezed his
sister's hand encouragingly.
"Don't worry about them.Even if they do react the way
we know they will,Angel and I are still gonna be here
for you.Lynzee,too."Leslie smiled,and suddenly felt
bad for the way she'd treated her brother all these
years.
"Thanks Aaron."Angel walked in at that moment,carrying
Serenity,and handed her older sister two tens.
"Here's your damn money."Leslie grinned,
"Thank you."Aaron looked at his twin in confusion.
"Why do you owe Leslie money?"
"No reason.Just forget it."Angel said,placing Serenity
in her highchair,then sitting down herself.Lynzee
started to hand her a plate,but Angel pushed it away.
"Thanks anyway,Lynzee.But I don't eat breakfast."
"Um,okay.Here Aaron."He took her hand,and smiled at
her.
"Thanks Lynzee."The two stayed like staring into each
other's eys for several seconds,when Leslie suddnely
snapped them out of their trance.
"Oh God.I think that morning sickness thing is kicking
in."She jumped up fromt he table,and ran out of the
room.
"Jesus.How many times are we gonna be interupted in
one morning?"Aaron grumbled under his breath,but Angel
heard it.She giggled,and got up to pur herself a cup
of coffee.Lynzee pulled her hand away,and started to
leave.
"Not so fast,baby."Aaron said,pulling her down onto
his lap.
"What are you doing now?"She asked,quietly.
"I want to finsh what we started,before my sisters
came barging in."Aaron told her,turning her around so
he could kiss her.
"But Angel's still here."Lynzee whispered,pulling back
slightly.Aaron shrugged,his hands moving up her shirt.
"I told you I don't care about them."His hand grasped
one of her breasts,and Lynzee had to bite her lip to
keep from moaning out loud.
"We-we are not doing this right now.We can do it
later."She said,a bit louder than she has
meant.Because Angel suddenly said.
"Actually,go ahead and finish up if you want.Just as
long as the two of you don't do it on the table,it
don't bother me if ya wanna make out."Lynzee blushed
bright red,and buried her face in her hands.
"Oh God."Aaron laughed,
"Aww,is my baby embarrassed?"
"Shut up."Lynzee said,and he laughed again.
"What's going on?"Leslie asked,entering the room
again.
"I was just telling Lynzee and Aaron that we don't
care if they're a couple."Angel told her.Lynzee looked
at them,
"You guys really don't care?"
"Lynzee,Angel and I know how much our brother loves
you."Leslie said."And we know that you would never
hurt him.So it's no big deal.As long as you're both
happy,then so are we."Angel nodded in agreement.Lynzee
breathed a sigh of relief,and Aaron pulled her closer.
"I told you they wouldn't care."She smiled,and kissed
him.
"I love you."She said,when the kiss ended.
"I love you,too."He replied,kissing her again.
"You guys are so cute together."Leslie told
them,smiling.Just then the doorbell rang.
"I'll go get it."Angel said,getting up and leaving.
"Come on Serenity."Leslie said,picking the little girl
up out of the highchair."Let's get you cleaned
up,cause Auntie Leslie's got a lot to learn about
kids."Lynzee got up,and said.
"I think I'm gonna take a shower."Aaron grinned,and
got up as well.
"Ooh,can I join you?"
"Absolutely."She pulled him to her,and kissed him
passionately.
"Um,guys?"The two broke apart,and saw Angel standing
there.
"What's wrong?"Aaron asked,seeing the look on his
sister's face.
"Um,Nick's here."She said."He,uh-.He wants to talk to
you,Leslie and me."
Chapter12:
Aaron and Lynzee looked at each other,and she said.
"You go talk to your brother.I'll be in my room."She
started to leave,but he grabbed her hand,and pulled
her back.
"You're coming with me."He told her.She blinked in
surprise.
"What?Aaron,no.It should be a family thing.I'll just
be interfeering."
"I want you to come with me,Lynzee."Still she
hesitated.She didn't want to face Nick.Not after what
had happened yesterday.And she was so afraid of how
he'd react when he found out she was with Aaron.She
remembered how the two brothers had fouht at the
hospital,and Lynzee really didn't want a repeat of
that.Especially not when her daughter was in the
house.She just wished ther was some way to keep Nick
from finding out.
"He's gonna find out sooner or later."Aaron
said,reading her mind.
"Aren't you worried about what he's gonna do?"She
asked.Aaron shook his head,
"No.Because I don't care what he says.I'm in love with
you,and there's nothing he can do to change
that."Lynzee wanted to believe him,but she couldn't
shake the feeling that something bad was gonna
happen.Aaron could see that she was scared,and he
tried to think of a way to make her feel better.
"Lynzee,look at me."He took her face in his hands,and
she looked into his eyes,trying to hide the fear she
knew was in her eyes.
"I love you.You made me your's last night,and there's
no way anyone can take me away from you.Not now and
not ever.Okay?"She nodded,and told herself that he was
right.
"All right.I'll go with you."He leaned down and kissed
her softly.
"It's gonna be fine.I promise."Aaron laced his fingers
through hers,and they walked out to the living
room,where his sisters and brother were.
Nick was shocked when he saw his brother enter the
room,holding the hand of his ex girlfriend.And that
shock grew when he noticed the shirt that she was
wearing belonged to Aaron.
"Hey,Aaron."Nick greeted his brother,still wondering
what was going on.
"Hey."Was all Aaron said,and Nick could tell he was
still upset about what had happened at the hospital.
"Hi,Lynzee."
"H,hi Nick."Nick frowned when he saw how nervous she
was,and how she refused to look directly at him.
"Um,Lynzee do you mind?I'd kind of like to talk to
Aaron and the girls in private."Nick told her.
"Uh,okay."She was about to leave,but Aaron stopped
her.
"Anything you have to say to me,you can say it infront
of Lynzee."He put his arms around her,and gave his
brother a look that dared himm to challenge the
subject further.
Nick wasn't so sure he liked what he was seeing
between his brother and Lynzee.He didn't like the way
she relaxed against him,or how Aaron was touching
her.It was as if they were more than friends.
Angel could sense the tension between her
brothers,and saw how incredibly uncomfortable Lynzee
looked.So she decided to speak up.
"Aaron,maybe it would be a good idea if Lynzee
left."Seeing him ready to object,she quickly added.
"She'll be right in the next room if any of us need
anything."Aaron hesitated,then said.
"All right."And he let go of her.
"Um,I'll take Serenity with me."Lynzee said,taking her
from Nick.
"No,Mommy!I stay wif Daddy!"The little girl cried.
"It's okay,sweet pea."Nick said,taking her back."Daddy
will do soemthing with you later,okay?"
"Kay."And she held out her arms for her mother to pick
her up.As Lynzee walked past Aaron,he suddenly grabbed
her and kissed her,shocking everyone in the room.
"I love you."He told her in a loud voice.
"I,I love you,too."She said,recovering from the
shock.He smiled at her,silently telling her that
everything would be okay,and she smiled back.But then
she made the mistake of looking at Nick,and her smile
quickly disapeared when she saw the anger on his
face.Aaron turned her back to look at him.
"Don't worry about him.I'm still gonna love you when
you get back,okay?"Lynzee nodded,then hurried from the
room.
"Let's get you changed,sweetie."She said to her
daughter."Maybe Daddy will take you somewhere later."
'That is if he doesn't hate Mommy for sleeping with
his brother.'She silenty added to herself.
After Serenity was dressed,Lynzee took her to her
room,trying not to worry about the raised voices
coming from the living room.She shut the door,and sat
Serenity on the bed.
"Mommy,I watch Blue's Clues."Serenity said,pointing to
the television.
"All right,sweetie."Lynzee picked up the remote from
the nightstand,and turned on Nickelodeon.While her
daughter wacthed her favorite show,Lynzee took the
cordless and stepped outside into the backyard.Making
sure she could keep an eye on her daughter,she sat
down in one of the lawn chairs,and dialed Kaite's
number.
"Hello?"
"Kat,it's me."
"Where the hell have you been?"Katie demanded."I've
been trying to get ahold of you since yesterday."
"I'm sorry.But I've been so busy."Lynzee said."Nick
and I got into a fight and-."
"Are you all right?!"Katie interupted."Did he hit
you?Cause I swear to God if he did,I'll kick his
fucking a-."
"Kat,I'm fine."Lynzee assured her friend."Yeah,he kind
of hit me.But I'll be all right."
"Damn it,Lynzee.Why do you let him do this to you?"
"What do you mean let him?You think I stood there and
said,"Okay,Nick.Take your best shot."?Jesus,Kat.I'm
not that stupid."Lynzee said,slightly irritated.
"That's not what I meant."Katie said."Look,the next
time you get together with Nick,promise me you won't
do it alone.He can do whatever the hell he wants to
you when there's no wittnesses.You should know that by
now."
"All right.Next time I'll make sure somebody else is
around,okay?Now can I tell you what else happened
yesterday?"
"Yeah,go ahead."
"Aaron called me yesterday.He and Angel had tot ake
Leslie to the hospital,because she passed out."Lynzee
heard her friend gasp.
"Is she all right?"
"Yeah,she's fine.But in about seven months she's gonna
have a little bundle of joy."
"She's pregnant?!"Katie screamed,causing Lynzee to
hold the phone away from her ear.
"Geez,Kat.Blow out my ear drum why don't ya?"Lynzee
said,sarcasticly.
"Sorry.It's just-.How the hell is she gonna take care
of a kid?"Katie wanted to know."She's only eighteen."
"Come on,Kat.If I can do it,so can she."Lynzee
said."Atleast she has more resorces than I did.And
she's not addicted to any drugs,either.Her life is way
more together than mine was."
"I wouldn't exactly say her life is
normal,Lynzee."Katie said."God.Isn't anybody in that
family atleast a little bit normal?"
"Watch it,girl.I don't want you talking bad about my
boyfriend and his family."
"You're boyfriend?"Katie repeated,confused."But you
and Nick aren't-Oh my God!No way.No fucking
way!"Lynzee giggled,
"What's wrong,Katie?"
"You mean you and Aaron?"Katie said."Ya'll are
together?"
"Uh huh."And Lynzee told her friend what happened the
night before.
"Well,damn girl.Congradulations."Katie told her."I'm
happy for you."
"You are?"Lynzee said.
"Of course!After all the hell you went through with
Nick,you deserve to be happy and loved."Lynzee smiled,
"Thanks,Kat."
"That reminds me.Does Aaron know what happened with
you and Nick?"Katie asked.
"Kind of."Lynzee answered."I mean,I think he knows
that Nick didn't treat me very well.But I don't know
if Aaron knows about the abuse."
"Well,if he doesn't you need to tell him."
"I will.I just don't want him to hate Nick for it."
"Why not?After everything Nick did to you,he deserves
to have everyone hate him."Katie said.
"Aaron and Nick have always been really close,Kat.I
don't wanna ruin that."
"Don't you think that might happen when Nick finds out
you're with Aaron?"Katie asked.Lynzee sighed,
"I hope not."Just then she heard Serenity scream.She
jumped up,adn hurrried inside.
"Honey,what's the matter?"Before the child could
answer,Lynzee heard a loud crash from the living
room,followed by Leslie's screams.
"Kat,I'm gonna have to call you back."Lynzee told her
friend,and hung up.
"Mommy,I scared."Serenity said,tearfully.Lynzee picked
her up,and held her close.
"It's all right,sweetie.Shh,Mommy's here."Lynzee
closed her eyes,and prayed for the noise to stop.But
it didn't.It just got louder,and soon Angel and Leslie
were screaming for her.
"Serenity,you stay right here and watch Dora the
Explorer."Lynzee said,sitting the little girl back on
the bed."Mommy will be right back,okay?"The little
girl nodded,tears still falling down her face.
"Kay,Mommy."Lynzee kissed her cheek,then hurried out
of the room to see what was going on.
Chapter13:
"Did you just kiss Lynzee?"Nick asked.
"Good eyes,bro."Aaron said,sarcasticly.
"Why the hell did you do that?"
"Well,Nick.I realize it's been a long time since you
had a girlfriend.But kissing is normally what lovers
do."Nick sighed in frustration,wondering why his
brother had to make this so difficult.He turned his
attention to his sisters.
"Did you two know about this?"Angel and Leslie glance
at each other nervously,not sure how they were
supposed to answer.They didn't want to make Nick
angrier than he was.
"Don't go bitching at them,Nick.They didn't
know."Aaron told his brother.
"How long has this been going on?"Nick wanted to know.
"Not long."
"How long,Aaron?"
"Well,that depends."Aaron said."If you're wanting to
know how long we've officially been a couple,the
answer would be since last night.But if you're asking
how long I've been in love with Lynzee,it's been four
years."Nick couldn't help but roll his eyes at that.
"You're in love.Yeah right."
"I am."
"You don't know what love is."Nick said.Aaron sat
up,and glared at him.
"And why is that?Because I'm only sixteen?Age has
nothing to do with love.I love Lynzee,and I know it's
the real thing.Even if I am young."
"Since we're on the subject,you do realize this is
illegal don't you?"Nick said."Lynzee is twenty two,she
could go to jail for this."
"She's not gonna go to jail."Aaron said,rolling his
eyes."I'm sixteen,and in the state of Florida you're
considered legal at sixteen.And even if I wasn't,who
would turn her in?You?"
"Aaron,you can't be in love with Lynzee."
"Why?"
"Cause I said so."Aaron smirked,
"Good answer,Nick."
"She's the mother of my child."Nick said.
"And you're point would be?"Aaron asked."It's not like
you ever see Serenity on a daily basis.Hell,I see her
more than you do and I'm just her uncle."
"You can't go out with me ex girlfriend!"Nick
yelled,getting more frustrated by the second.
"Why not?You just said that she's your ex,so why
should it bother you who Lynzee dates.And who the hell
are you to tell me who I can or can't be with?"Nick
sighed,and got up and started to pace back and forth.
"I know why this is pissing you off so much."Aaron
said,standing up to face his brother.Nick stopped,and
looked at him.
"Why?"
"You're jealous."Nick rolled his eyes,
"Yeah,that's it.Get real,Aaron."
"No,I'm serious."Aaron said."You're jealous because
I'm deeply in love with Lynzee,and she knows it.But
she never knew if you loved her when you two were
together,did she?Did you ever tell her that you loved
her,or do anything to show your love for her?No.But
she knows how much I love her,cause I'm not afraid to
tell her all the time.And that makes your
jealous.Cause you know I can love her better than you
ever did."The two brothers were now standing face to
face;blue eyes full of anger and brown eyes full of
determination.
"I took better care of Lynzee than a little kid like
you ever could."Nick spat.
"Sure.If you call beating the hell out of her taking
care of her."Aaron said.
"She deserved it."Before anyone could do anything to
stop it,Aaron punched his brother as hard as he could.
"Don't you ever fucking say that about her again!"He
yelled.
"So you wanna fight?Fine by me."And Nick hit his
younger brother back.Soon the two were rolling around
on the floor fighting.Leslie started screaming for
Lynzee,while Angel screamed at her brothers to stop.
"What the hell is going on?"Lynzee demanded,running
into the room.She gasped when she saw Nick and Aaron
fighting.
"Aaron!Nick!Stop it!"She ran over to them,and tried to
pull them apart.Finally with Angel's help they managed
to stop them.
"Aaron,what the hell was that?"
"He said you deserved it when he hit you."Aaron
said,through clenched teeth."I had to show him what it
felt like to be the victim for once."He started to
lunge for his brother again,but Lynzee held him back.
"Aaron,stop!I will not have fighting in my house,when
my daughter is in the next room."She told him."And I
don't want you fighting over me."
"You should have thought about that before you fucking
spread your legs for my brother!"Nick shouted at
her,from across the room.
"Shut up,Nick."Angel ordered her older brother,as she
held him back.
"Fuck you,Nick."Aaron yelled."If I wanna fuck Lynzee I
will.And there's nothing you can do to stop it."
"Don't be so sure little brother."
"I want the two of you to stop this right now."Lynzee
snapped.But they ignored her.
"And what do you think you can do?"Aaron wanted to
know.
"There is only one sure fire way to keep the two of
you apart."Nick said,an evil smile on his face."Or I
should say,person."Aaron narrowed his eyes in
suspicion.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"My daughter of course."Nick turned to Lynzee and
said.
"If you keep on scrweing around with Aaron,I'm gonna
sue you for full custody of Serenity."Lynzee's jaw
dropped,
"What?!"Angel stared at her brother in horror.
"Nick,you can't do that!"
"Oh yes I can."Lynzee's shock quickly turned to anger.
"Who the fuck do you think you are?Up until now you
haven't given a damn about my daughter,and now you
wanna take her away from me?!Well,you go ahead and try
Nick.But I seriously doubt any judge would award
custody of a child to a cold hearted bastard like
you!"
"Careful,Lynzee."Nick warned."Don't say something you
wouldn't want repeated in a court room.How would you
look if they heard you swearing like that?"
"Why you fucking son of a-."
"That's enough!"Leslie suddenly screamed.All
conversation came to a halt,and everyone stared at her
in suprise.She had been silent all this time,but that
was gonna change.She wasn't going to keep quiet
anymore.
"Nick,get the fuck outside."She ordered."You and I
need to have a talk.And we need to have it now."
"No way.I'm staying r-."
"NOW!"She grabbed his arm,and dragged him to the patio
door,that led to the backyard.She opened the door,and
shoved her brother outside.The she followed him,and
shut the door behind her.
"Leslie,what the hell is going on?"Nick asked.She
slowly turned around,and he was caught off gaurd by
all the anger he saw on his sister's face.He'd never
seen her this upset before.
"It's been a long time since we've had a
brother/sister talk,Nick.And I think now's the perfect
time for one."Leslie said.Nick heard all the fury in
her tone,and knew that he was in for quite a grilling.
