** This chapter comes off as a little weird, so please ask me anything that confuses you.

“ Oh my god, Kay he’s coming this way.” Simone said she practically jumped up and down beside her friend, pointing the dark haired boy, crossing the fair grounds toward them.

Kay rolled her eyes, and pushed her friend away. “ Would you calm down? “ “How is Miguel finally going to get the courage to ask me out, if you’re bouncing around like an idiot, just stopping giggling, like a school girl, and make yourself disappear.” She turned away from him and checked her reflection her compact, before tuning back, a dazzling smile on her face.” Hi Miguel, how are you?”

“ I’m good.” Miguel, put his hands in his pocket, and focused on the ground in front of him.” I uh…. wondering…you see Kay…”

“ Miguel, did you want to ask me something.” Kay looked down, and caught his eye, bringing his attention back to her. He was so cute, when he was nervous, a shy smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. “ Don’t be so serious, we’ve been friends forever you can tell me or ask me anything?”

“ You’re right.”

Kay saw him take a deep breath, before he just stopped breathing all together; she looked at him curiously, before she turned and followed his direction, and meets the blue eyes, of a blonde. ‘Unbelievable.’ “ Miguel!”

“ Uh… sorry… Kay, I’ll uh... be right back.” He hurried past her following the blonde who was now departing, picking up his pace to catch up with her.

Kay watched in wonderment, as he hurried after her, until all she could see was Miguel and Charity locked in an embrace. “ No, this can’t be happening.”

“ Look at them, Kay.” Jessica stepped closer to her sister, almost whispering in her ear. “ That’s how it’s suppose to be, Miguel and Charity belong together, FOREVER. “ She tuned on her sister and looked at her with distance.” None of your evil little schemes are going to work to split them up.”

“ Shut up Jess.”

“ She right, Kay.” Simone nodded, and looked at the couple in the distance wistfully.” It’s better if you just move on.”

“ Yeah, like you moved on with Chad.”

Simone stepped back as if she was slapped, before turning on her heel, and running out the room. “ Thanks for nothing Kay.”

“ You’re really something, you know that Kay, no wonder you have no REAL friends.” Jessica said as she flowed the other girl out.”

Kay turned away, and bites her lip to keep from crying she didn’t need them anyway, they weren’t helping her anyway. When she turned back, she came face to face with her mother. “ What now Grace?”

“ Don’t’ what me young lady, I can’t believe what you been up to, plotting against Charity.” The look her mother gave was of pure disgust and revulsion. “ All Charity has is Miguel, and you would try to take that from her.

“ Are you kidding, all Charity has is my life, she living in my room, dating my boyfriend, and wearing my car.” She had my parents jumping over hoops to please her, and my friends dropping everything to run to her aide, trust me GRACE, Charity will do fine, without Miguel.”

“ She wont’ have to find out, because I’m putting a sop to this.”

“ Oh you’re putting a stop to it, don’t stop it when I was the one being hurt, just swoop in to save your precious Charity.” “ Don’t bother to protect your own children, but then I guess us illegitimate bastards just don’t measure to your pure and perfect Charity.”

“ Katherine Elizabeth Bennett don’t you dare take that tone with me.”

“ Go to Hell Grace.” Kay walked form the living room, around herself in the kitchen with her father.” Daddy?” He looked up at her and smiled. God how she loved her father, he always smiled when he saw her, beside form Uncle Hank and her brothers Noah and Ethan, he was the only one that ever really seemed glad to see her.

“ Hey sweetie, you okay?” He put down his newspaper, and reached for, bringing down on his lap.” You and Reese, okay?”

The only problem was he walked through life, with blinders on; never really seeing the truth, if there was a chance it might hurt too much. The result is that he completely missed most of what was going on in her life. She shook her head, feeling guilty for lying, but at the same time glad she could protect him.” No Daddy, we’re fine.”

“ Good, because I lose my badge if I had to kill him.” He gave his daughter a kiss on the cheek, before adding with a sly smile.” But I’d still do it, if he caused you any pain.”

“ I know Daddy.” ‘It’s just a shame you don’t see who else cause me pain’

“ Good.” He lifted her up, and set her on her feet, kissing her on the head, before he gave her a wink and grabbed his coat.” I have to go, try to keep out of trouble.”

“ I will Daddy.” Kay, saw the kitchen disappear, she looked and found herself on the wharf sitting on a crate, next to one of her favorite people.” Ethan”

“ Bout time, I’ve only been calling you for two minutes.” Her brother’s laughing blue eyes had her smiling; it was amazing how close you could get to some people in such a short amount of time. When she first met him, she would always smile a greeting when she saw him, even if he was fighting with her father, she didn’t understand it until she knew he was her brother.” Where did you go Katy -Dids?”

“ Nowhere.” There were just something that she couldn’t tell Ethan, he was so much like their father, that she knew some of her secrets would hurt him beyond repair. “ I was just thinking.”

“ No you were worrying about something, and I want to know what it is what else are big brothers for.”

“ E, it’s nothing.” He couldn’t know about Grace, Ethan had his own mother issues to go over, and was happier just thinking that his siblings were being taken care of by Harmony’s Mother of the Year. “ I was actually worrying about you and Theresa?”

He leaned over and gave her a one armed hug.” Well don’t, I’m going to be fine, and Theresa and I are going to work this out.”

“ Hey kiddo.” Hank Bennett now stood where he nephew once did, and gave his famous crooked smile.” Hanging in there?”

“ Yeah.” Uncle Hank knew the truth; he knew what it was a like to be pushed aside for a perfect child. “ I’m ignoring her, it’s hard she seems to be every where theses days, always in my face reminding me.”

He nodded.” I know, but remember this.” “ No matter what, I will always love you.”

Kay wanted to reach out to him, and hug him, just stay in his arms where she felt safe, but he faded away.
 

Leaving her there, alone in her head, where she had no friends.

“ He doesn’t love you.”

“I don’t see how anyone could.”
 

“ I wonder what she’s thinking.” Antonio turned and asked Jody who was watching from against the door.

“ We’ll just have to wait to she comes out of it, and then we’ll ask her.” Jody moved away form the door, and nodded for him to follow.” Come on, Nurse Marks, will be with her.”

Antonio fell into step beside, took a breath before he spoke.” I know who snuck in.” He felt her tense, and then turn to him.” It was my brother Miguel.”

She nodded, and stared walking again.” I thought it was her mother.”

“ Grace Bennett, Kay’s right you are a little loose.” Grace baked weird cakes, and knitted mittens for dolls, no way she could drive her daughter back into a depression.

Jody opened her office, and pushed him in before closing the door.” Listen to me Lopez-Fitzgerald, and listen good Grace Bennett may be a saint where you concerned, but I’ve seen through the façade, okay, she and Kay aren’t close enough to be considered the same species.” “ They make Christina Aguleria and Enimen look like a couple in love.” “ But let’s leave the dysfunctional duo on their on for a while, I want to talk to you, bout the Grave’s Disease.”

He took a seat, and barley spared her a glance.” What about it, I’m dying, it’s pretty much doing its job.”

“ That’s the thing, there’s this drug that colleague and I created when we were at Stanford, and it just passed its FDA approval, and is now being tested.” “ It’s called Caveriol, and it’s basically a poison that will kill the thyroid, that is killing you.” “ I should also tell you that I’m doing this without Eve’s approval, she thinks it’s risky and it is, this stuff could kill you, but it could also save your life.”

“ That can’t just be it, Eve wouldn’t keep this form me, if that was just it.”

“ It was tested once before on the that patient I was telling you about, we underestimated some things and the drug combined with the thyroid, and had some… side effects.”

“ Like?”

“ Like he lost his vision, his kidney’s shut down, and he was paralyzed.”

Antonio fell back onto the chair and gave a bitter laugh.” Oh just side affects, Christ Doc that’s an understatement.”

“ ANTONIO.” “ Since then we’ve been working around the clock to fix it, we changed several aspects of the original drug, focusing on some underestimation we had previously made.” “ I know this sounds extremely dangerous and I look like a psycho for suggesting it, but look at it like this, you’re already dying, and right now we don’t really have an estimation of when it’ll kill you, but this drug can at the very least prolong your life, until we can find a definite cure.”

He stood, and walked toward the door, and opened it.” I need to talk to someone about this, call me when there’s a change.”

“ Of course.”

Twenty minutes later Antonio was knocking on a very familiar door, and smiled at the person that opened it.” Hey little brother, how you doing?”
