'I couldn't possibly have a brother, could I?' Kaylyn asked herself mentally. 'Well it would be possible. He does look a lot older than me."

"Hey, Lynni who's this?" Jimmy popped up on one side of her and she felt arms snake around her waist from behind. She looked around and saw Matt behind her. Zacky and Kelly were nowhere in sight.

"I'm Kayne, and you guys are?" He glared at Matt over Kaylyn's shoulder, his protective older brother instincts kicking in.

"Hiya Kayne! Jimmy here! And that's Kaylyn's boyfriend slash one of my best friends, Matt." Jimmy replied.

"So Kayne, how do you know Kaylyn's family?" Matt asked from his place behind Kaylyn, who was still just standing there, shocked expression on her face.

"Well, that's the main reason that I'm here. I think Kaylyn is my sister. Her story matches mine. Just over sixteen years ago my mother died shortly after labor and then my father came home and told me that not only my mother died, but so did my baby sister. I was pretty young then, but I remember it. I remember every little detail of that day. He said her name was Kaylyn Marie Harris." Kayne told them, "And when we got the invitation to the funeral, it was signed by both Jake and Kaylyn Harris. I could only hope that my father, our father, was lying. And after you told your story at the funeral, I knew for sure that he was and my sister is alive."

Matt and Jimmy's expressions instantly turned into ones of shock, but Kaylyn composed herself enough to be able to speak.

"So, I really have a brother." It wasn't a question, but Kayne nodded his head yes anyways.

"Well that was very unexpected." She let out a shaky laugh and was thankful for Matt having his strong arms around her waist. "Hell, even Jimmy is speechless. Jimmy's never speechless." She elbowed him playfully, trying lighten up the mood a bit. "Where are Zacky and Kelly?"

"Outside on the back porch." Matt answered. "Do you suppose we should tell them about us. I think they're the only ones who don't know yet."

"Yeah, it's kinda mean of us to keep it from them." She patted him on the cheek and then turned back to Kayne, her brother. "You're welcome to stay with us. I don't think Jake would mind. And maybe we could go out to lunch tomorrow."

"Thank you. I would like that." Kaylyn gave him a quick, awkward hug and then went outside after telling him that she needed some time to process the whole situation, which was true, today has been a rough day for her.

"Hey! You guys are back! Took ya long enough!" Zack yelled excitedly.

"yeah, well we kinda ran into someone." Matt told them.

"Uhh... Matty, I think we should tell them our secret now." Kaylyn said.

"Yes! MATTY, you guys should tell Kelly and Zacky your secret. It's not very nice to keep secrets from your friends." Jimmy said excitedly, "Guys, I REALLY wanted to tell you but they wouldn't let me! So don't blame me if ya get mad!" He then sat criss cross next to Kelly on the bench of the porch, right in front of where Zack was sitting on the railing.

"Well, three days ago, I asked Kaylyn to be my girlfriend." He smiled over to his girlfriend, and she returned it.

"And of course I said yes! So Matt and I are officially a couple." Kaylyn finished.

"I so knew something was up with you two! I'm happy for ya Kay!" Kelly got up from her seat and hugged her friend, and then went and hugged Matt too.

"Are you serious? You guys have known eachother for what? A week?" Kaylyn could see a mix of emotions on his face, a mix of pain and anger. But all Matt saw was the anger.

"What the hell, man? Can't you just be happy for us?" Matt asked harshly, his temper flaring.

"Well you guys got together after only knowing eachother for FOUR DAYS!" Zack yelled. He was hurt. Hurt that he didn't even have a chance with Kaylyn. Matt had beaten him to her.

"Dude! What's wrong with that? We have pretty much everything in common, and we enjoy being around eachother! What's so wrong with us waning to take the next step?" Matt yelled back. Kaylyn and Kelly were shocked, but Jimmy wasn't. He had a feeling that something like this was going to happen.

"Your guys' relationship will never last! You guys are moving way to fast! It's just like what happened with Val!" Zack yelled.

Kelly gasped, shocked that he brother would actually go there. "Come on Zacky, let's go." She grabbed his wrist and attempted to drag him away from the whole situation.

Matt lunged, but was stopped short by Jimmy jumping in front of him, grabbing his arms.

"Matt! Calm down!" Jimmy yelled. By now a couple of people have gathered outside to see what all the commotion was.

Kaylyn was disappointed in Matt and Zack. Good friends shouldn't fight like that, over anything. She shook her head and fled. She got away from the situation as fast as she could by running up the stairs and shutting herself in her bedroom. She knew that all of her new friendships were too good to be true. 'I wonder who Val is and why did Matt get so pissed when Zack said "I's just like what happened with Val" and who is Val anyway. I'll have to ask Jimmy about it later.' She though, laying back onto her soft bed.

Kelly and Zack left soon after that and at last Jimmy got Matt calmed down.

"Where'd Kaylyn go?" Matt asked Jimmy, looking around for her.

"I don't know." Jimmy started looking around too, but then he realized that she probably fled to her bedroom because of the Matt and Zack situation. He turned and headed inside, not even bothering to tell Matt where he was going.

"Yo, dude, where ya going?" Matt yelled after him.

"To go find Kaylyn."

He walked to the stairs and went straight up them, heading to Kaylyn's room.

"Lynni?" He opened the door and found his best friend laying on her bed.

"Lynni, are you alright?" Jimmy walked over to the bed and sat down.

"Jims, am I ruining Matt and Zacky's friendship? Should I have said no to Matt? I think Zacky might like me! He looked so hurt! What should I do?" Kaylyn ranted, and Jimmy just smiled and said comforting things to her.

"NO, you are not, I won't let them ruin their friendship fighting over you; NO, you should not have said no to Matt; and I think you should do what you think is best for YOU." Jimmy told her, answering all her questions. "You need to think about yourself for once. You're always thinking about everyone else before you, and sometimes you need to just think of what's best for you. More than one guy likes you, but you couldn't have helped that."

"Who all likes me? Do you know?" Kaylyn instantly cheered up, filled with curiosity.

"Well, Matt. And Zacky might." Jimmy said, fidgeting a little, not wanting to tell her about Brian, because he knew that Matt had followed him up there and was standing outside the door.

"I know that! I know there's more! I can tell Jimmy! I know you!" She sat up as she spoke and pushed his arm playfully.

Jimmy sighed in defeat. "Fine, Brian asked me if I could hook you and him up this morning."

Matt burst in then, before Kaylyn could even answer. "brain's home?"

"Uhh... Yeah, he got in last night." Jimmy said, looking over to Matt. He doesn't think Matt even noticed what Jimmy had said, which was alright with him.

"Well why hasn't he said anything to me? That dick." Matt sat down next to Jimmy on the bed. "Kaylyn, I'm really sorry about what happened out there between Zacky and I. I hadn't meant to get mad, it's just, I don't understand why he can't just support us."

"It's okay, Matt." She got up and went over to him. She leant down and gave him a quick peck on the lips, then skipped over to the door. "I'm gonna go see how Jake's doing."
