"Well, I've got a date this Saturday." Easton said, puffing his chest out

Talon rolled his eyes, "You've only been talking about it all day."

"Kelsey didn't know." He growled

"Congratulations, East." I smiled, cutting Talon off from his rebuttal, "What's her name?"

"LaShawna." He grinned, "She goes to my school."

My smile slowly fell off my face before I grinned. Maybe it's not her? From Kyle's pack?

I nodded my head, "Well, tell her to come here. I want to meet her."

"Kelsey! No, it's only the first date." Easton groaned, gripping his hair tightly as he glared at me

Standing up, I shrugged, "I don't care, Easton. Bring her here Saturday."

Rolling his eyes, he looked at the TV, "Whatever."

"East, don't be like that." I frowned

"Good night." Talon muttered, walking outEaston continued staring at the TV, clenching his jaw. 

"Where are you guys going?" I asked softly and he shifted uncomfortably

"To some restaurant down town." He grunted, "King's Palace."I nodded, "Well, I hope you have fun."

If it's the LaShawna I know, you're not leave this house.

My alarm went off and I groaned, slamming my hand on the off button. Sitting up, I slid off the bed and began crawling towards my door. I pulled the door open and looked both ways before crossing over to the bathroom. Standing up, I turned the water on slightly hotter than warm and began stripping. Stepping into the water, I sighed, rolling my shoulders. 

Washing up quickly, I rinsed off and stepped out. Looking at the counter, I saw a fluffy white towel on it and grinned, wrapping it around myself. I put my clothes in the hamper and opened the bathroom door, walking out. Ambling into my room, I pulled out a pair of grey sweatpants and a loose fitting shirt, I dried off and slipped on my undergarments. I got dressed and brushed my hair before walking out of the room. 

Skipping into the kitchen, I smiled at everyone. Talon grinned from the stove as he flipped a pancake. Easton nodded, his mood not any better from last night. Caroline and Talia stared at the table, avoiding my eyes. Sitting beside Talia, I watched as she scooted from me.

 "Okay, what's wrong with you two?" I asked, raising my brows as I pursed my lips 

They both shrugged and I rolled my eyes. 

"Both of you need to get over it. You guys got drunk and I got mad. It's over and done with. So stop dwelling on it." I said, looking between the two 

Talia looked up first, tears shining in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Kelsey."

 "It's fine." I laughed, pulling her into a light hug 

She chocked on a sob, laughing with me. Caroline came up and hugged me as I pulled back away from Talia. I hugged her back as she burried her head in my neck. We both pulled back and Talon set a plate in front of me. 

"Thanks." I smiled, picking up a piece of bacon and taking a bite

 After he made us all plates, he sat down and began eating with us. Talia and Caroline chatted with Easton about his date tonight, saying that they were going to choose his outfit. Talon was just eating quietly, texting on his phone.

 "Where's Jimmy?" I asked, looking around the table 

"Next door. He didn't want to wake you up." Talia said, picking up my empty plate and hers as she walked over to the sink 

"I'm going to a friends house in a bit." Talon said, putting his plate in the sink 

Nodding, I took a sip of water and stood up, "I'm going nowhere today." 

Everyone but Easton laughed and I walked out, running a hand through my hair. Sitting on the couch, I turned the TV on and looked for a show to watch. Easton came in, holding his phone.

 "Why don't you want me to meet her?" I asked, making him jump as he lifted his head to look at me 

"You'll scare her away. I haven't had dated anyone since I found out about the cancer and now that I'm better, I'm going to live my life. I'm going to go out on dates like teenage boys should. You could ruin that for me." He whispered, sitting down on the couch beside me

 "You really think that? That I would ruin your chances with someone?" I asked, feeling hurt 

Easton stayed silent, staring down at his lap. 

"Whatever, Easton. Name one time when I have ever pushed a girl you liked away." I snapped, turning my body fully to his 

He remained quiet and I scoffed, "Exactly. I've supported every date you have ever been on. And you act as though by my wanting to meet this girl is going to ruin your life. You know what? Have a great time on your date. Don't bring her here." I growled 

"You're not my mom." Easton said, his voice quivering 

"Oh? So this is what it's all about? No, Easton. I'm not your mom. I'd never leave my child on the side of a highway." I spat, standing up and walking out of the living room 

Talia, Talon, and Caroline were at the living room entrance, watching me leave with shock on their faces.

Walking to my room, I shut the door behind me and locked it. Slumping to the floor, I began hating myself. I shouldn't have said that about his mom, even though it's true. Pushing myself up, I walked over to my bed and laid down. Biting my bottom lip, I stood up and walked over to my door, unlocking it before stepping out. I saw that Easton's bedroom door was shut and I hesitantly walked over to it.

Knocking softly, I waited.

 "Go away, Talon." He growled, his voice sounding hoarse 

"It's Kelsey." I said loud enough for him to hear 

"I don't want to talk about it. Just go away. You got what you wanted. I'm not going on the date." He said bitterly and I sighed 

"You know that's not what I wanted, Easton. I want you to be happy." 

"Then why do you have to go all Momma-bear? You're only a year and a half older than me." 

"Can I come in?" I asked, turning the knob lightly to see it was locked, as I suspected I heard footsteps then the sound of the lock.

Pushing on the door, I walked in and saw Easton standing my his bed, arms crossed over his chest. I shut the door behind me and walked over to his bed, sitting down. 

"Sit down." I sighed and he shook his head firmly 

"Talk. You've never asked to meet one of my dates before." He said knowingly 

"There was this girl in Kyle's pack and...she tried to kill me. Her name was LaShawna and I just wanted to see if it was the same girl." I shrugged 

"Why did she try to kill you?" He asked, his arms falling to his sides as he came and sat on the bed, eyes worried 

"Because I'm the Uniter or whatever. A lot of people don't like me." I chuckled, "And most of them, I have yet to meet."

 "And you think that my date is the same girl?" He asked, frowning 

"I didn't say that. I said I wanted to see if she was. You won't get hurt because of what I am. None of my family will. I won't allow it." I said, meeting his eyes 

"Will you feel better if I call her and tell her to come here?" Easton smiled, pulling on one of my curls

 "I thought you weren't going on the date?" I asked, smirking 

"I was going to cancel before you came." He grumbled

 Smiling, I wrapped my arm around his torso and leaned into him. He kissed my hair and wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

 "Kelsey! I'm going now." Talon yelled from the other side of the door 

"Okay. Don't be home too late though." I said, looking towards the door 

"I won't." He said and I heard his footsteps walking away 

"So, when are you going on your date?" I asked, standing up 

"At five. I have about two hours to get ready." He said, laying down 

"Brush your hair." I sang, walking out 

"Shut up!" He yelled after me and I laughed, going into the living room 

The door rang and I groaned, pushing myself off the couch as I walked to the door. Pulling it open, I saw Jimmy in front of my, covered in what looked like chocolate and mustard. Ms. Tyum stood beside him, her face red with anger. 

"What happened?" I asked slowly as I saw Jimmy's guilty face 

Jimmy is never guilty about anything.

 "He and my son got in a chocolate fight. I'm sorry but he needs to stay away for a while. He's trouble." Ms Tyum said hotly 

Pulling Jimmy into the house, I crossed my arms over my chest. "I understand that your house may be a disaster now but your son was also apart of it. Jimmy is not the only one to blame. And I bet your son was actually the one that thought of it."

 "Jesse would never. He's a good boy." She said, also crossing her arms over her chest 

I laughed loudly, "Okay. Believe what you want. Bye." I smiled, slamming my door, turning to Jimmy 

Jimmy looked up at me reluctantly, flinching from my stare. "Jim, how dare you have a chocolate fight in someone's home!?" I growled 

"I-it was Jesse's idea." He whimpered, cowering away from me 

"I don't give a damn who's idea it was. You don't trash someone's house like that!" I snapped, trying to calm myself down, "Tomorrow, you're going to go to Ms. Tyum house and apologize to her. Do you understand me?" I asked, gritting my teeth

 Jimmy nodded, twiddling his thumbs, "I understand." 

"Now, other than that. Good job!" I grinned, ruffling his hair

 He stared at me, shocked. "Good job? What have you done with Kelsey?"

 "I absolutely hate that women." I groaned 

"Oh, well. Thanks!" He chirped, throwing me a large grin before he bounced away 

"Kels, LaShawna bumped up the date, she should be here soon." Easton said, coming into veiw 

I looked over his dark wash jeans and black button down, smiling. "Lookin' good, bro." 

He blushed, "Stop." 

"And you actually brushed your hair." I smirked, looking at his head full of locks that looked tamed for once in his life 

"I didn't want it to look like I had dreadlocks." He mumbled, running a hand through his hair 

Nodding my head, "That's what they look like everyday."

 "Nu-uh! It's never gotten that bad." He glared, a pout taking over his face 

"Actually, it did. In fifth grade, you never brushed your hair." I recalled 

"Stop bringing that up." He hissed, pointing a finger at me roughly 

A knock sounded on the door and Easton looked at me nervously before walking around me to the door. He opened it and his broad shoulders were blocking my view. Pushing his arm discreetly, I looked at the pretty red head and relief swam through.

 "Hi." She smiled

 "Hiiiii." I dragged out, "Well, have fun!" I grinned, bouncing away 

Easton looked at me and nodded, a small smile on his lips, "Okay. Don't wait up." 

Raising my brows at him, I smirked and he blushed, walking out of the door. The door shut behind him and I smiled, walking into the living room. Talia and Caroline were in there, watching Jersey Shore. That is such a stupid show. I sat down on the recliner and laid back, kicking my feet up.
