loving you*
chapter 01
Disclaimers: I own Kaylie Deja, her family, and friends. No one else, the people, however, you do recognize belong to themselves.
Spoilers: Nsync, I have a couple of songs from the anime Sailor Moon. Two of them for sure are �My Only Love� and �Carry On�. There also might be a special appearance of Toni Braxtons� song �Unbreak My Heart� (beautifully written song by the way), and probably a few of Shania Twain's newer work.
Summary: A sweet, tender love is something Kaylie Deja hates. She never understood what people saw in the word that gave her eerie chills �Love�. What�s in it that makes people swoon? It�s just a four-letter word. What�s the power there? She never understood it, never, until�
Warning: Foul language, sexual tension/jokes, and dry humor.
Note: Well I hope you all enjoy this piece of work. I had intentions of making it a Songfic, but thought against it because I want it to have more than just one song in it. I�m still working on developing characterization for Lain; hopefully it will progress throughout the story. Enjoy.
Chapter One: Shocking*No one realizes the beauty of love, until you're caught in it.*
~ Deep in my soul Love so strong it takes control Now we both know the secrets barred the feelings show Driven far apart I make a wish on a shooting star There will come a day somewhere far away in your arms I'll stay my only love ~ Kaylie confirmed her worst nightmare. It wasn�t her, it was her driving, but didn�t that have something to do with her? In the past two months she�d managed to get into two accidents. The first was her fault and had massive effects, which was, her beautiful silver sports car being totaled, her in bed for two weeks, her back feeling like it was breaking every time she moved, and her not being able to keep anything down from the effect of whiplash. The second, thank God, wasn�t her fault, but resulted in Lain having to go to a Chiropractor for three days of a week of therapy. �Why does it have to be my driving? Why can�t it just be my clumsiness without the bad driving?� Kaylie asked her best friend Lain. �Um�I think you�re bad driving is the result from your clumsiness.� �Don�t crinkle your eyes at me. This is not fair.� Lain sighed heavily as she glanced over at Kaylie. �That accident happened weeks ago, get over it!� �Easy for you to say, you don�t have to go to a chiropractor that does the same thing every appointment. Cracks my back, neck, arms, and hurts me every time she rubs my back. That poky thing I told you about was awful.� �Kay, you did something to your neck in that accident. Serves you right for not wearing a seatbelt!� �I had just gotten in from getting gas and forgot to put it on.� Lain giggled a little. Kaylie rolled her eyes and then laughed her self. She was too scared to drive so Lain was taking her to the chiropractor. After twelve weeks of going three days a week it had finally moved to two days week. �Why don�t you just tell Karen you feel fine and you don�t need her anymore? You�ve told me thousands of times that you feel perfectly fine.� �Lain, Lain, Lain you�ve known me for how long? I�m chicken when it comes to that stuff.� �You? A chicken? Oh please! Remember when you asked that guy that I liked how much it would be to take him home with me? I will never forget how embarrassed I was.� �You dared me. I can�t turn down dares,� Kaylie grinned evilly. �Yeah!� Lain rolled her eyes in exasperation. Kaylie shook her head as she smiled at her friend. Lain was an original. It would be hard to find another like her. She had that spunk and humor that was just irresistible. That�s what Lain said drew her to Kaylie. What drew them both to Amy, Kaylie and Lain�s other best friend, was her quietness. If she had to place her friends in a slot, along with herself Lain would be in the humor one, Amy would be in the peacemaker one, and Kaylie would be in the weird, funny, crazy one. Every day though, they all managed to slip out of those slots and switch. �Do you want me to come in this time?� Lain asked. Kaylie who�d been lost in thought looked up. �Yeah. Karen kind of freaks me out. I don�t think she cracks my back right either, but how should I know right? She�s the one that�s graduated from all that chiropractic stuff. I�m only a sophomore in a two year college who has no talent.� �Oh come on you know what I�m going to say to that. You�re a writer. Write your brains out because, baby you�re amazing at it.� �Lain be practical, I couldn�t support myself on that unless I was extremely famous.� Lain shut the car door to her gold Camry and shifted her feet as she stopped and glanced up. �I want to be in movies. Are you saying I�m not practical?� Kaylie�s eyes widen and knew she�d fallen into that one. �No it�s different. It�s easier to become an actress than it is a writer. People don�t read very much anymore. I just think it would be better if I focused on something steady.� Lain shook her head and pierced her lips together as she walked to the door of the practice. Kaylie knew that look from years of experience of being able to piss off a person that was almost virtually unable to piss off. �Lainy, don�t be mad. You�re a great actress and it is more practical for you because you�re studying it and you�re in medical school at the same time,� Kaylie smiled. �You could get a back up too.� �I have one, writing.� �And your first choice is Criminal Law! Damn it Kaylie. It doesn�t make you happy. It gives you headaches and you have black outs. Admit it, you�re only really truly happy when you�re in your room typing away on a new story bashed its way through those painful migraines!� �Hi,� Kaylie said as she went up to the counter to get a sheet that would show if she was feeling better or not. �Kay, this conversation isn�t over. We�ll talk about it tonight,� Lain informed. Kaylie lifted her eyebrow up in challenge. �No we won�t. Tonight�s our Christmas Dinner.� She left it at that. Kaylie peaked at Lain through her eyelashes. Lain could do it; become an actress. She wasn�t pretty or ugly, but there was something about her, that irresistibleness that drew people to her. As a young black woman from a bad part of town Lain had made it and she�d keep on making it. Though she was ordinary looking her caramelized skin and gentle chocolate brown eyes definitely had appeal to them not to mention she had a beautiful body. When the three of them, her, Lain and Amy had met they knew they�d be best friends for a long while. They�d gone through so many obstacles half bad half good and it started with Amy�s father. He was a drunken white man with a very prejudice view on the world. He had sent Lain home and scolded Amy and Kaylie for hanging out with her. Amy had sat there with her head down, almost in tears. Though Kaylie hadn�t known the man for very long she was furious at him and jumped up from her seat in that room. To this day she still remembers the verbal lashing she�d given the man, the look on Amy�s face, and Lain�s eyes as she�d eavesdropped after being sent away. �You should be ashamed of yourself. A grown man should not be throwing insults to a perfectly nice young woman because of her color. What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you that you can�t see past the way someone looks? Are you going to make fun and ridicule me because of my weight? I�m a 264 pound white female, what do you think of that? Let�s not stop with colored, or overweight people, let�s go to drunks,� Kaylie had aimed at him. He�d looked down at the bottle of whiskey in his hand, glared and threw her out. For a while Amy couldn�t see Kaylie or Lain, but her mother softened him up to the idea and soon they were going out to dinner, to movies, bowling, and then the short leash went long and Amy�s parents felt she was safe with Kaylie and Lain. Kaylie�s words had actually sunk into Amy�s father. He started to accept Lain for what she was and he didn�t stop drinking, but slowed down. That was when Kaylie had been extremely overweight and depressed. She was sixteen then, but after being that big for practically her whole life she finally got sick of it when she was seventeen and had lost all her weight by the time she was eighteen. At nineteen she�d managed to help twenty overweight teens lose weight and keep it off. �Come one back Kaylie,� came Karen�s voice. �Time to get royally back smashed,� Lain whispered to her. Kaylie threw her head back with laughter. Since she�d lost her weight she�d been happier. Not that she hadn�t been happy when she was overweight, she had been and only a few times had the idea of killing herself entered her mind. She was more energetic, she could move easily, and she played sports. Her mother always said that when she lost her weight she�d be beautiful. She was right. Kaylie couldn�t wait to get a boyfriend, but by the time she�d gotten to 130 pounds she�d become angry that they�d ignored her for seventeen years. So when the most popular guy in school asked her to go to the prom with him she�d said no. Kaylie slipped her sandals off and slid on the bed in which she would get her back cracked. �Breathe in and out,� Karen said. As Kaylie breathed out Karen pushed. �Ugh.� �Oh come one,� Karen said when only a little crack could be heard. Kaylie loved the way she looked now. She was a twenty-year-old that�d never been kissed and she didn�t mind it. Her brown gently curled hair, which was always behind her ears, bounced just above her shoulders, her blue indigo eyes, which she�d been told looked like the little deer Bambi eyes, were surrounded by black eyelashes, she had two small dimples that appeared when she smiled, and her lips were every day rose tinted. The bottom lip was full and her upper lip was just a little less full than her bottom. Bow lips, or so her mom called them. They�d been called many things one in which was Kaylie�s favorite she had �bitable lips� a waiter had told her on the groups weekly outing. She�d never forget that. �All right, neck time,� Karen said patting Kaylie�s butt to get her moving. �It should crack good. I�ve stopped cracking it myself,� Kaylie informed. �Good for you!� Karen said as she positioned Kaylie�s neck and cracked it. Popping filled the room. �Nice!� �Oh gees. That gives me the he bee gee bees!� Lain said. �Are you going on the machine today Kays?� Karen asked as she finished rubbing and hurting Kaylie�s shoulders. �Um, I don�t think so. I have to go get ready for are traditional Christmas dinner.� �Alright, take care. Does Saturday morning at 10:00 sound okay?� Lain lifted her eyebrow and looked at Kaylie waiting for her to say something about her not needing a chiropractor. �That�s fine.� As they began walking out all Kaylie could see was Lain shaking her head. �You know, I don�t see how you can tell Amy�s dad off when you were sixteen, tell the most beautiful otherwise known as a god of a man �no� when he asked you to go out with him, manage to organize a group of girls to loose weight, debate against the importance of searching for the truth, managing to run into another beautiful man and pretty much tell him to fuck off when he asks you to go for coffee�you can do all that but tell a chiropractor you don� t need her.� �I can�t help it. I guess it�s different when someone�s trying to help me out.� �Or trying to dry you out of money you just don�t have.� �I�m not the one paying for it! The people who ran into me are,� Kaylie sighed as guilt dripped in for the millionth time since that accident. �Which you feel guilty about. Oh boy, I give up! You are so in need of something. I don�t know what, but it�s something. You probably need to get�� �Lain don�t get nasty.� �Oh come on! I�m just saying that maybe you wouldn�t be so anal if you got some.� �Anal? Ugh, excuse me miss my legs are open twenty-four hours give it to me�� Kaylie grinned. Lain�s mouth dropped wide open. She then as they stopped at a red light proceeded to roll down her window to wave down a guy so he�d roll down his window. �Hey sweetie, my hot friend over here needs a good lay. You up for it?� Kaylie who had rolled down her window as well thinking that Lain needed some air jerked her head up as what her friend said registered. �LAIN! I so do not.� �Is that her?� the guy with black hair and blue eyes grinned. �I�d be glad to help you out baby!� �Um, no th-that�s okay!� Kaylie smiled and glared at Lain. Kaylie saw a car pull up on her side out of the corner of her eye. It was an extremely expensive car with a gorgeous guy that had brown wild hair. His window was rolled down and Kaylie had the perfect chance to get Lain back. �Don�t you dare!� Lain cried as she saw what her friend planned. �Hey! My friend is dying to have some crazy hot sex. You up for it?� Kaylie yelled at him. As the guy turned shock coursed through Kaylie. He was beautiful. Brown hair, blue eyes, and the two seconds it took for Kaylie to realize who he was. �Oh God! You�re a- you�re a,� Kaylie stuttered. The guy grinned obviously noticing that she�d found out who he was. He shook his head to confirm her flabbergast question. �Holy shit!� Lain spoke. The guy shook his head again and laughed at the girls� faces. �Yeah! JC here.� �Lain go!� Lain who was still slightly dazed looked at Kaylie with confusion in her eyes. �What? Wait, no!� �Go!� Kaylie yelled still looking at JC Chasez in the eyes as she kicked her foot over and pushed the gas pedal. �Wait, no. Kaylie no! It�s a red light! Oh my God!� Thank God there were no cars coming. To Be Continued...
