if from downstairs. The door was closed with the, DON’T COME IN!, sign. I knock and hear his music turn down. He comes to the door, see’s me and lets me in. Did he know about what happened between Daniel and I?


CALEB
I should have just let her sit out there away from me. It felt like she cut my heart.
“What do you know?” I didn’t answer. I wanted her to suffer, be the one who was hurt.
“I want to know everything. Why did you kiss me? Why did you leave? How come you looked hurt at the pool today?” I had to say something.
“So do you know?”
“Know what? You didn't answer my questions.”
“Well, who are you going to choose?”
“I don’t have to choose anyone Caleb. I don’t need to date anyone to only have one. It’s not right and not fair to both of you.” She started to cry.
“It can’t be that way, and you know that.”
“Why not, just because I kissed you and Daniel means I love you both?”
“Well who do you love?”
I didn’t let her answer. I got closer and put my forehead on hers.
“I need to know.” was all I could think of saying. She moved her head, her tears came down harder and started to turn the knob of the door. I grabbed her arm and she looked at me. I kissed her, and I couldn’t stop.
She pushed me away with one hand on her mouth and the other wrapped around her stomach. “Where’s the trash can?” I pointed to it and helped her run over to it. She started puking. I tried to but a towel on her forehead, but she put one hand up as if telling me to stay away. “Summer let me help you. What’s wrong?” Daniel heard from downstairs and came through the door.
“What happened?” I turned to him to find out that he was talking to me.
“We were talking and then I kissed her and she started puking up.” I couldn’t stand the way she just let him near her.
He came over to her and she put her arms around him. He whispered something in her ear and she nodded her head to whatever he was saying.
He picked her up carefully to lay her on my bed. He walked out and a couple seconds later came in with a blanket and tucked her in. “She wants to be alone for a little while lets go downstairs.” He walked past me and grabbed my shirt to know that I went with him. When I finally got down stairs I saw him in the love seat waiting for me.
“What the hell was all of that?”
“She’s sick.”
“Why?” My voice got harder
“She doesn’t want me to tell you.” how could he be calm out of this whole thing?
“You know, you don’t have to finally be the big brother I have never had.” My voice got higher too. “You don’t need to protect me from the truth. I can handle anything that comes in my way.”
“Oh, yeah you totally handled the whole situation well up there.” he lifted his hand towards my room.
“Daniel fucking tell me why she is sick.” I wanted to punch him in the throat
“She’s sick because of you.” He let out a breath. “When she came after me in the woods behind Benny’s she told me that she was sick, because she was kissing you. She loved the person who she thought didn’t like her back. She feels like she kissed someone she didn’t know. I am so jealous of you because she still loves you after what you are doing to her. Even though she still does her emotions can’t handle it.
“She loves the person that used to ignore her calls when you know she is calling to go to the mall or to the flee market. She liked the chase but with me she didn’t have to chase. She let things fall into place with me. I didn’t kiss her because I wanted to get back at you, she told me to because when she is kissing me she feels better. She doesn’t have to hurry and count the seconds till your done kissing her.”
I couldn’t believe what he was saying. I reviewed the whole conversation before I finally said, “Go up there and comfort her.” He looked at me for a second then got up and started up the stairs. He turned around and said, “She’s waiting for it to go away. That is why I am mad. She wants to go back to you, for me I never want it to go away. Remember when I was making fun of you last month about liking her, I was actually jealous. Jealous at the fact that she only loved you.” Then he went off.
Why do things have to be so hard on everyone? I want Summer all to myself. I guess when our dad left Daniel fells lonely. He was always dad’s son. I was the brainy and non athletic one that nobody wanted to hang out with. Daniel did all the things I could never do. Three years old and my dad left, Daniel used to say it was my fault for him leaving. If I was never born dad would have stayed.


SUMMER
After the boys went down stairs, I started to drift to sleep. I tried to look around Caleb’s room for a phone to call my parents or Kayla to come pick me up, however I still wanted to stay. In the back of my mind I was selfish. I wanted either Caleb or Daniel to come up to talk to me. Be there and lay down next to me and just talk all night.
Daniel came up to comfort me and when he walked through the door my heart started racing. Daniel is here, everything is going to be okay. “Hey, are you feeling better?” I wanted to say no, I didn’t feel okay. Although I really hate sympathy. “Yeah, I’m fine. Um is everything alright with Caleb. Did he leave?” Of course he didn’t leave this is his house I’m the one that needs to leave. Daniel came down and stroked my face. He really cared on how I felt. I wanted to tell him to kiss me again, comfort me until I fall asleep. “No, he actually told me to come up here. Do you need anything? Did you wanna go home tonight or should I just take you tomorrow?”
I didn’t want to go home. I would ruin this whole moment. “No, I’ll just stay the night my parents would probably think I was at Kayla’s house and I will talk to her about telling my mom that.” He pulled his shoulder’s up and started to get up. “Wait, um, don’t go. Just stay here right now. Just till I fall asleep, please?”
“Of course.”
“What happened down stairs?”
“I am sorry, don’t be mad at me, I told Caleb.”
“No, at least it was you not someone else. I couldn’t get the guts to tell him myself and he needed to know anyway.” I was a little mad but not at him, at me.
“Okay, I’m going to lay on the floor and will talk to you however long you want.”
“No more talking. Just let me sleep and we’ll talk in the morning.”
He didn’t say anything else. I laid there hearing him breathe. I sat up, he got up as soon as I did. “Daniel? Kiss me.” I wanted him there. Wanted his comfort, wanted all the sadness to go away.
He leaned into me and I kissed him first, I pulled him tighter to my chest. I didn’t want to let go, but I didn’t want to make him feel uncomfortable. I pulled away and looked at his eyes. They were closed when I pulled away them opened up after five seconds. “Why do you like me?” I can’t believe I as asking such a stupid question, but then again I really wanted to know.
“I have for a year. When we went to the county fair. You were wearing a white blouse with ruffles in the front and blue jean shorts. Your hair was straightened with your bangs to the sides.” He was laughing now. “You asked Kayla, Caleb, and I to go on the Farris wheel, cause that’s the only reason you even came.
They said no, but I went with you, remember?” I shook my head. I started to remember the whole day like it was only last week. “We got on and we sat in the yellow one because that was your favorite color. When we were up on the very top you pointed to the sky and said if you had to choose for anyone to go to the moon with you it would be me.”
I was crying and then I was kissing him more. I didn’t care if he didn’t like it or not. I wanted him, only him.
That night I dreamed of that day at the county fair. Finally remembering why that day even exists. I woke up around seven and Daniel was on the floor still in his clothes. I felt bad. I barely remember that night. I walked down the stairs and smelled bacon. I was freaking out, did their mom came home last night? I slightly stepped down the steps and Caleb was there makeing breakfast. He saw my come down, and started to clean up.
“Hello, um, what did you make?” He didn’t look up. I felt bad about leaving this early without Daniel not even knowing. I picked up my jacket and keys off the counter before he started talking. “Waffles and bacon, do you want to eat before you leave?” I wanted to sit there and eat with him and talk about what happened, however my stomach thought different. I walked past him to the front door. “Um, nah, I gotta’ go anyways, um talking to you later.” Before I closed the door I heard him say, “Hope so.” I felt really bad.
I didn’t go home when I left. I sat in the car for a couple minutes sitting there wondering what to do. I finally started the car and went to the mall. It was raining because of the “perfect” day yesterday. I didn’t know what I was going to do but I know I wasn’t going anywhere else. I walked into the food center and got a soda. I sat right next to McDonalds, and crossed my feet with the soda on the table. I wanted everything that happened yesterday to go away. I started to drift in my thoughts that I didn’t recognize more people coming in.
I still sat there gazing into nothingness. I jumped when I felt a tap on my shoulder. There was a guy right behind me with three of his friends. He was wearing a black jacket with whool inside and light blue jeans. His hair was a busty brown and his eyes were green. He was probably one of the most gorgeous person I have ever seen. If not the top three.
“Um, is anyone sitting here?”
“No, you can take the chair.”
“Thanks.” and he smiled at me. His teeth were straight and white. Perfect, i thought. He was perfect.
Ever time I would turn around to look at him, he would be looking at me. Not in an awkward way just looking. After an hour than finally got up and the guy brought the chair back.
“Can I sit?”
“I don’t know? Should you sit?”
“Maybe, counts on what you say.”
“Fine.”
“My name is Ashton.”
“Kutcher?”
“Yeah but that’s why I liked
