Chapter 1

Pacey

    
      Later that night i called Kairi, it probebly wasn't the best timing, i mean Ben and i had not got a chance to get Harley to talk. We spent the last like six hours trying to find a place for her to stay until we could find a way to tell their mother she was back and on top of all that we still had yet to figure out how much trouble she is in despite the fact that she seemed to be running from the cops. But this was as good a chance as any she was going to be pissed at me anyway because i didn't tell her, mine as well get it over with!
     "Hey," I heard her say on the other line, she didn't seem mad yet just worried which i guess is a good thing but i hoped it lasts through this conversation "What happened to you today?"
     "Harley is back!" I began "We don't know why or what is up but she called me early this morning before school and Ben and i went to get her!"
     "Why?" Here we go my brain began to rush, if you didn't know i dated Harley for a long long time before i dated Kairi and when she left we never really broke up this is a sore spot in Kairi's and my relationship. I love Kairi so much more then Harley but i still care a lot about Harley, she's like a sister to me! 
     "She in trouble Kairi, a lot of trouble and she needs mine and Ben's help!"
     "Why didn't you tell me? I can help," it seemed like she was going to start to cry but was trying to hold it back. 
     "It will only make things more complicated but i need to help her, alone!" This was so hard to do but it had to be done. I think she knew where the conversation was going because it didn't take long before i heard the sniffled on the other line. "Do you want me to come over?"
     "Yes please," she managed to say "I love you!"
     "I love you too Kairi and i always will, i'll be right over okay let me just tell my mom i'm going out."
     Slowly i pulled my car into her driveway and made my way to the door, she was going to make this as hard as possible for me but i knew this is what had to happen, i need my head clear to help Harley completely. I don't want to break up with Kairi but Harley right now needs all my attention, Kairi will be alright i know her well she is stronger then she thinks she is! Once i rang the door bell it didn't take long before Kairi opening the door and i saw her beautiful face. Her curly brown hair was pulled back in a pony tail and her eyes blue eyes were so glassy i could just tell this wouldn't be easy to explain. Before i could even begin to talk though she threw her arms around me and laid her head on my shoulder dam i'm going to miss this, i love her hugs so much i wrapped my arms around her and pulled her closer to me laying my head on her head. I allowing the scent of her raspberry shampoo to flow into my body this might be the last time for a while. After a few minuets of silence i pulled her from me and led her over to the swing in front of her house, i sat down and then i pulled her down on top of me. 
       "If you’re mad you can get mad okay? But you know why I have to do this right?" I tried sympathetically to make conversation and she nodded her head in return. "I need to help Harley and right now she needs my undivided attention." I reached up to stroke her check and wipe away a stray tear.
     "Do you like Harley again?" I let my hand fall into my lap, I knew she was going to ask this question.

     "No, you know I would tell you something like that!" I reach up again to grab a stray strand of hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear. "I love you so much Kairi.” I said as I let my hand fall back onto my lap again, this time though to grab onto hers. “Harley is like a sister to me though, and she needs my help." Kairi just looked at me, she understood though I could see it in her eyes.
     "I love you," she whispered

     "I love you too," I whispered "I just need a break okay, once i figure out what is going on with her we can go back to us okay?" It was really hard to do this she looked so broken and sad.
     "Well do what you need to do to help Harley, i'll always be around!" I watched a smile form on her lips and i couldn't help but smile too. 
     "There is your smile, now keep that okay that's one thing i love about you!" and with that i leaned in to kiss her and she kissed me back as i wrapped my hands around her waist and she put her hands around my neck. "I don't know how much trouble Harley is in but i'll do my best to keep in touch okay, again i'm sorry."    
     "I know," She said she still looked sad but at least she understood and that meant more to me then anything, i couldn't deal with two girls that meant this much to me at the same time my head would spin. We watched as Kairi's front porch light turned on and that was my queue that it was time for Kairi to come inside. It  had managed to get pretty dark outside anyway so i should be getting ready to go home. As she stood up she grabbed my head and lead me over to the door step. "Bye," she said hugging me tight.                     
     "Bye," i whispered in her ear and turned my head to kiss her one last time. Are lips meet and i couldn't help but feel that part of my life was slipping away but like i said i had to do this, for Harley's sake!
