Kavinsky's Dad woke up early in order not to be late for work. As usual, he would have to take a morning snack outside on his way to work as he used to do every day.
He walked to the bathroom slowly and had his bath quickly and soon, he was done dressing up.
He woke up his sleeping wife to announce his departure.
"I prepared lemonade juice yesterday, have some on your way to the office. It's in the kitchen, inside the fridge", she said adjusting his tie.
"Thanks, honey", he replied, pecking her on the cheek before walking out of the room.
Kavinsky's Mom stood up from the bed as well, she was not feeling any sleepy anymore. She had her bath as well and moved on to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
***
Mrs. Mark walked to Kavinsky's room and knocked on his door. He did not reply at first
"Honey!", Mrs. Mark called while banging on the door
Kavinsky rolled on the bed frustrated, it was eight o'clock am in the morning and his mom won't let him rest. He groaned on the bed when she kept knocking. He turned left and right using his pillow to cover his head to stop the noise from coming in. He stood up in frustration when the pillows weren't working and walked to the door. He opened it abruptly, catching her hand in the air.
"What?", he asked coldly, with his eyes half open.
"Don't tell me you are still in bed till now", his mother said as she widened her eyes in surprise
"I was...", he trailed off and bend his head downwards
"Am going to our neighbor's house anyways", his mother notified him, slanting her lips a bit.
"To do what?", Kavinsky asked coldly
"I want to welcome them since they just arrived, do you want to come along?", she asked
"No, I do not want to", he replied sternly and clearly with a frown.
"Why?", his Mom asked again
"I have a piano lesson", he replied with a smile
"We both know you don't do piano lessons on Saturdays", his Mom replied and he rolled his eyes
"Okay then, am going for a jog and am going to Harry's house after", he replied
"Fine, don't forget to take your clothes to the dry cleaning company then", she said
"mmm" was all he replied with
She left and he closed the door, he bounced on the bed in excitement and soon fell asleep back.
*******************
Mr. Blaine is frying an egg in the kitchen and Kaylee is busy in the sitting room braiding Laura's hair, they are watching their favorite TV show.
"Dad, be fast with the food please", Laura shouted from the sitting room.
"Okay, am almost done, honey" Mr. Blaine replied from the kitchen
Their doorbell rang suddenly, not once but twice.
"Kaylee, go and check who is at the door!", Mr. Blaine said from the kitchen again
"Okay", Kaylee replied and stood up
She opened the door and she met a woman who looked like she is in her late forties. The woman wore a blue-sleeved gown which passed below her knee, she wore a simple pink lipstick and she looked beautiful. She had blonde hair and her eyes were blue. She wasn't too tall nor was she shot and she held a green lunch box.
"Hi", the woman greeted calmly
"Hi", Kaylee greeted back, she did not know how she was supposed to react to this woman.
"Uhm... I live next door, where are your parents?", she asked quickly
"Dad!", Kaylee called turning her head to the back and facing the woman back
"He will be here soon", Kaylee added and truly her Dad showed up in his black apron
"Hello", Mr. Blaine greeted enthusiastically.
"Hi, am Miss mark", the woman greeted extending her arm and Kaylee left them, she went back to the sitting room.
Later, her Dad came back with a box for him"What's that?", Kaylee asked coldly with furrowed brows.
"Food, she said we would have been tired and we should have a good meal. I rejected it and she insisted, so I ended up collecting it", Mr. Blaine explained raising the box with a small smile on his face.
"Ohhh", Kaylee replied and faced the television back
He served the food and they ate. After they were done, Laura packed the plates in the kitchen.
Afternoon,
The three of them sat on the cushions in the living room; Mr. Blaine, Kaylee, and Laura.
Laura is watching a show on the television, Mr. Blaine closed his eyes to rest and Kaylee was busy with her phone checking her W******p messages. The doorbell rang again making Mr. Blaine open his eyes.
"I will go get it", Kaylee said standing up.
She got to the door and met a woman, who is in her late forties yet again, and her son who is young at the door. The boy looks Kaylee's age though. The woman is different in appearance from the one who had visited earlier. This woman wore a white shirt and a black skirt, she used red lipstick and her eyes were black, she topped them with black flat shoes. Her son, on the other hand,d wore a blue plain round-neck top and black pants under it. He looks like his mom.
"Hi", the woman greeted
"Good afternoon", Kaylee replied
"Where are your parents?", the woman asked
"My Dad is in", Kaylee replied plainly
"Can we come in?", the woman asked again
"Uhm, sure sure", Kaylee replied opening the door widely and they walked in
The woman greeted her Dad and took her seat. Kaylee was standing behind a chair and Laura had gone for a sip of water in the kitchen
"I am Stiles by the way", the boy who followed his Mom said to Kaylee as he came to stand beside her.
"Kaylee", Kaylee replied flatly.
"So, where did you travel from?", Stiles asked with a smile
"Manhattan", Kaylee replied and excused herself almost immediately. She is not ready to make some cheesy friends right now.
Stiles and his Mom left soon after and Mr. Blaine bade them goodbye.
"I wonder how they knew us, I mean we just arrived in this estate and three people have come to greet us already?", Kaylee said coming down the stairs from her room
"They live opposite us", her Dad replied mixing his coffee
"Okay", Kaylee replied taking the last stair
"So, she said she knows a school you could attend, her husband is the principal there", her Dad said sipping his coffee
"and why should I go there?", Kaylee asked coldly
"Cause you have to go to school", her Dad replied sternly
They both remained quiet for some time and Laura stared from the sitting room.
"Wait a minute, I know why we are here", Kaylee said all of a sudden
"What do you mean?", her dad asked widening his eyes
"You want me to forget Mom, don't you?", she asked pain vivid in her voice.
"No, it's not like that", her Dad replied calmly
"But mom's memories aren't here, they are in Manhattan", she said with tears swelling in her eyes
"Honey...", her dad called
"I made a mistake, I shouldn't have come here. I should not have listened to you", she said allowing the tears to fall
"Now, am going to forget all about mom", she added shaking her head negatively, and ran upstairs
"Kaylee!", her Dad called and replied with absolute silence.
"Don't do anything you would regret!, please", her Dad shouted from down the stairs.
Kaylee entered her room, sat on the bed, and grabbed a pillow. She cried all her pain out soaking the pillow with her tears. She remembered how her mom would sit down beside her bed until she falls asleep every night. How they both use to sit at the piano bench and her mom would teach her new tunes. How her mom would bake cookies for Laura and her to take to school. How her mom would support her in front of her Dad even though she did a bad thing.
"I killed her!", Kaylee said
"I deserve to die too, why is it so hard to die?", she said in between tears. She cried hard until she fell asleep with bags under her eyes.

Kavinsky jogged for some while before jogging back home since it was too sunny and he could not take it any longer. He was dirty from all his sweat. He met his mom watching TV in the sitting room and he went to peck her on the cheek. "You need a long shower, boy", she said and laughed at him "Am an adult, mom. And also, have you been outside? It's like two thousand degrees out there", he complained. "You still need one", she said again, teasing him. "I know", he said in frustration and walked up the stairs.

"I want to sharpen my skills in this new video game 'cause I know I desperately need to before Harry learns about it", he had told his mom when she asked why he wasn't going to bed early. "Alright but go to bed early, you know you have to go to school tomorrow", his mother had said. He had rolled his eyes at the moment as he muttered. "I am not a kid" His mother had heard him and she replied to him while going up the stairs; "I know but you will always remain my kid" Kavinsky went to bed after he had mastered the game and played it for a few rounds. He got up from bed when he remembered the brunette colored hair girl who lived just next door. He couldn't pinpoint the actual deal with this girl but he knew he was attracted to her.

"Kaylee Blaine, please report to the principal's office. Kaylee Blaine, please report to the principal's office", the announcement was made twice before it stopped and only the echo from the announcement lingered against the school walls. "Let me accompany you there", Stiles offered calmly "No, it's fine. I can go myself", she said and turned to leave. She soon arrived at the Principal's door and knocked three times on it.

And also, he donates a lot of money to this school, so-", Anna replied and shrugged "That does not give her the right to act like that in the school", Kaylee protested with a frown. "Everyone knows that Kaylee", Anna told her and continued eating her food "Wait a minute, don't tell me you are planning something against her", Anna said all of a sudden, widening her eyes for emphasis. "Of course not! Why would I?", Kaylee replied and faked a laugh "Okay, cause I would advise you not to. You don't want to get yourself meddled in Vanessa's business.

CRUSH 9 Your Laugh Is Pretty
Kavinsky ran downstairs and met his Dad alive and well. He checked around for any cut or injury on his body and saw none. He looked only at his father, oblivious to what stood beside his father. All he cared about at that moment was his father. He stood there in anger. He realized he had been tricked but why?? His mother laughed and laughed till her cheeks hurt. "You should have seen the way he ran, honey", she said in between laughs and went to stand beside her husband. "What did you say to him?", Mr. Mark asked. He was curious to know what would make his son run down the stairs like that. "That you got into an accident", Mrs. Mark said and smiled. "An accident? Me?", Mr. Mark asked in shock. "Why would you even think of saying that?", he asked in disappointment. "Uh oh!", Mrs. Mark realized it wasn't a funny matter anymore and her laughter died down. "I was just-", she started but was cut off by Kavinsky's loud voice. She secretly thanked God that Kavinsky had chosen that t

Kaylee could not believe her father had just said that. "Dad?", she called out in disbelief. "It's much faster, honey. I won't have to", Kaylee cut her father short rudely by walking towards Kavinsky's house. Mr. Blaine just heaved a sigh of defeat. "I will be taking my leave now sir", Kavinsky said with a bow and went after Kaylee. Mr. Blaine smiled in the direction of Kaylee and Kavinsky. It felt good to see that his daughter was making friends already. He unlocked the car and entered the driver's seat. Laura too hopped into the passenger seat, beside her father and he drove out of their front porch. Kaylee sat in the front passenger seat waiting for Kavinsky to come in. She was angry at the way her father had traded her away to some guy he just met but she wasn't all that angry. Kavinsky went into the car as well and put in the key to start the engine.

Hey guys, I am really sorry about this. I can't complete this story as I intended to but I would make a summary of it. I am sorry, please bear with me. ... SUMMARY... It has been a week since Kaylee and Kavinsky had stopped talking to each other. Even though they went to school together, things were still pretty weird between them. The next Saturday after Kaylee's game, Stiles visited Kaylee and asked her to go somewhere with him. He told her he had something very important to show and also tell her. Kaylee got into his car when she thought of how they had been friends once but when she found herself unconscious in a junkyard, she understood what had happened. Stiles had helped Vanessa to kidnap her. Kaylee was locked in a wrecked bus and Vanessa lit a fire around her, making Kaylee go into a traumatic state. The memories never stopped cause she was still seeing the fire in front of her. Vanessa, Zoe, and Stiles left her there to face her fears. Zoe called Kavinsky about it
CRUSH 55 Something Is Wrong
SATURDAY EVENING, Kaylee walked past her father and Laura in the sitting room when she got home. They cheered her up concerning the game and she smiled at them widely as she walked out of the sitting room and up the stairs. She sat on her bed with a sigh and the memories from a few minutes ago played back in her head. She gripped her hair tightly when she remembered how Kavinsky had looked at her. "But we are not dating yet", she groaned before lying on the bed with a frown. 'Or was it just right to kiss him without being official?', she thought again with a frown. She groaned when she could not think straight and walked to the bathroom. She just took a long shower before walking out and dressed up. MONDAY MORNING Kaylee walked towards Kavinsky's front porch as usual and got into the car. He was already waiting there anyways. "Hey", he greeted in his thick, alluring tone and Kaylee turned to look at him. Instead of his usual smiling face, his face just looks dull and stiff.
CRUSH 54 Soft Plump Lips
Kaylee walked into her front porch after she got down from Stiles's car. She was about to open the front door to her house when she saw Kavinsky standing there, beside her house. She jumped at first before holding her hand against her chest and breathing out deeply. "What the heck, Kavinsky?", she asked immediately as she opened her eyes before walking towards him. She noticed the frown on his face when she got in front of him and she moderated her tone a little. "What are you doing here?", she asked but Kavinsky just kept staring at her with that frown stuck on his face. "You were with Stiles?", he suddenly asked and Kaylee rolled her eyes at him. "Yeah, he brought me home", she said nonchalantly. "Wow, how nice of him", Kavinsky replied sarcastically with a roll of his eyes. "So, what's up anyways?", Kaylee changed the matter as she shifted her weight on her legs. "You did not go out with Anna any longer?", Kavinsky finally eased the cold look he had on his face before. "Y
CRUSH 53 Need A Ride Home?
Vanessa groaned as she made her way inside the school. She could not believe she had left her phone on the chair before going to speak with that Bianca girl and Zoe did not even pick it up for her. She walked quickly with a frown and when she got to the basketball court, her legs went slow. The door was slightly open, so Vanessa could see the two young girls sitting on the bench inside, just beside the basketball court where players who did not play had sat. She scoffed and was about to barge in when her eyes glanced at Kaylee again and she realized what was happening. Kaylee was crying. Vanessa was sure she had just seen a tear fall from her eyes right now. Vanessa quickly took a step back and relied on her listening sense only. She could not risk them seeing her and she had to know what was happening. It could be her perfect comeback at Kaylee. But what was wrong? Did Kavinsky dump Kaylee? Did Kavinsky break Kaylee's heart? Oh, that would be great! ... Anna panicked when she
CRUSH 52 In Love With You
Kavinsky, Anna, Harry, Mr. Blaine, and Laura walked toward Kaylee with smiles and looks of pride on their faces. "Hey look! It's the star of today's game", Harry called out with a grin as they moved closer and Kaylee could not help but laugh. She met them halfway and said with a blush. "Stop teasing me", she said with a helpless pout and Harry chuckled. "You were really good while playing, honey", Mr. Blaine said with so much pride laced in his voice and Kaylee smiled. His daughter was cooking back to life little by little after all. "Thanks, Dad", she said softly, and soon when they had all taken turns teasing and praising Kaylee, Mr. Blaine left the hall with Laura. Kaylee turned back towards the trio and her eyes landed on Kavinsky. He had helped her so much in getting better at basketball. The thought of how he had helped her so much brought tears to her eyes, joyful tears. "Thank you", she said with misty eyes and he shrugged at her words. "Do not mention", he finally sa
CRUSH 51 Wish Me Luck
Kaylee smiled. She had never been a part of something so huge and sportive. It felt really good. They all moved their hands away at once and the five players walked to the court. They wore a top and free skirt with a mixture of yellow and blue colors. Their opponent from Winston high wore red and blue instead. At the National Basketball Association (NBA), they play basketball in four quarters for 12 minutes each. Both schools have decided to play in only two quarters instead of 12 minutes as well which means in almost thirty minutes, the game would be over. The announcer told both teams to move to the court and they did. The game commenced and the ball was passed to the opponent's team. Seattle high players tried to get the ball from them but failed. One of Winston's high players managed to get to the other side of the court and jumped up, throwing the ball in the hoop and they got three points instantly. They gave themselves high fives and the game continued. They tried pass
CRUSH 50 I Have To Go
He went to the kitchen and sipped water. The house had never been so empty and lonely to him before. He knew his mother had to go to school and his father, to the hospital but seriously, this was how the house was? He walked up the stairs and immediately crashed on the bed when he arrived in his room. He was heartbroken. He controlled himself and fought the urge not to go to that window right now just to look at her. He remembered her basketball game tomorrow and he looked around for his bag. He remembers not bringing out of the car which was still outside but who cares? All he needed was his phone. He grabbed his hair when he realized his phone was in his front right pocket. 'Seriously Kaylee, what have you done to me?' He thought as he pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed her number. The phone rang and she picked up on the third dial. "Hello?", her smooth voice echoed continuously in his ear. Kaylee could not believe he was calling her when he was just next do
CRUSH 49 I Like You, Kaylee
"It wasn't a mistake, Kaylee", he said closing his eyes for a while before opening them back, and Kaylee's eyes which were already on his lingered for a long while. He loved Vanessa, didn't he? So, why is he saying this now? Well, there is only one answer to that if truly he had kissed her on purpose. He never loved Vanessa. It was all a big old facade; he and Vanessa's relationship. Well, had he not said so to her before? She looked at him and he stared right back. She realized she had not answered him and when she was about to talk, he beat her to it. "I like you Kaylee and I always will", he said and her eyes went wide. She panicked internally. What? Does he like her? Since when exactly? "I liked you since the moment I saw you and you had hit that door on my face", he started with a small smile on his face as the memories of that day replayed in his head. " And that time when you walked into the class in your black leather pants and black jacket and black boot. You emitted
CRUSH 48 It Wasn't A Mistake
Anna and Harry got down from the car as usual and took the next bus home. Kaylee placed her head on the car backrest with a sigh and Kavinsky took a glance at her in concern. She shut her eyes for a while and a few minutes later when she opened it, she got both confused and surprised. "Where are we going to? This is not the way home!", she said in a panicking voice as she turned her head to look at Kavinsky. Don't judge Kaylee, she was afraid. I mean, have you watched horror movies? Yesterday, he kissed her, and well, she didn't treat him so well. Then, he comes to school today and acts as if nothing had changed between them. Kaylee was thinking about a lot of things in her head right now. "Hey", Kavinsky called out to her and she turned to face him again. "We are just going to a restaurant in town, that's all", he said and Kaylee wasn't taking that as an explanation. "Why exactly are we going to this restaurant?", she asked squinting her eyes at him as if she was interrogati
