New neighborhood (Sturniolo Triplets)

Chapter 9

We had been watching TV for a hours, talking and getting to know each other. By now it was around 6:30 I had gotten Nicks phone number and me and him were already becoming besties. Kayden still was a bit anxious from the texts. Matt could tell, he walked over to Kayden and sat next to her.

                        Kaydens POV
I was stressed out from the text.

Kaydens mind-"My sisters safety is all I care about and now she will be living alone."

My thoughts were interrupted when I saw Matt stand up and sit next to me on the floor.

Matt-"hey are you okay?" he asked with the sweetest smile.

Kayden-"I could be better..."

Matt-"trust me I have been there" he laughed

I could tell he was hurting too and it just made me feel bad.

                 (Back to Keiras POV!)
I watched Kayden and Matt whisper and laugh. It looked like they weren't genuinely laughing, more like laughing though pain. It made me happy they were talking but I also felt bad. I decided to text Kayden.

👭🏻Kayden☠️

Hey need a
break outside?

I watched as Kayden picked up her phone

👭🏻Kayden☠️
Break? Like....?
Yes...
Please

I put my phone down and stood up

Keira-"Me and Kayden are gonna go... on the deck.

Nick-"Can I come?" Nick asks excitedly

Kayden-"umm no sorry we just need to chill"

Nick-"okay I understand!"

Matt makes a pouty face at Kayden.

Kayden-"we'll be back in like 15 minutes Matt don't worry"

Me and Kayden walk outside onto my deck.

Keira-"do you have a pack?"

Kayden-"yeah"

Kayden pulls a pack of cigarettes out of her pocket and hands me one.

Keira-"dude I gotta stop"

Kayden-"me to it just helps me calm down"

Keira-"yeah but we'll work on i- fuck wheres my lighter?!"

Kayden-"shit mines in my car!"

Keira-"I'm gonna have to run inside and grab mine. I'll be right back"

I run back inside and go through a box in the kitchen.

Keira's mind-"shit not here"

Keira-"hey dad do you know where my... box is?"

I say box so the triplets don't know. I don't want then to know yet.

Dad-"your box? Ohh you mean your c-"

Keira-"DAD! (I cut him off) Yes that box do you know where it is?!"

Dad-"um yeah it in your room"

Keira-"Thanks!"

I run upstairs. The triplets look around at eachother

Chris-"what box?"

Dad-"just a box that's more important"

Chris-"oh okay?"

I run back downstairs with my lighter hidden in my hand and run outside.

Keira-"bro they almost found out"

I say while lighting my cigarette.

Kayden-"oop"

Keira-"so...wanna talk about it?"

I take a puff

Kayden-"yeah..."

Kayden explains how she feels about the text messages and I listen to every word. After she finishes I walk over to her and hug her.

Keira-"it's okay... he doesn't know where either one of use live"

We finish smoking so we throw our cigarette buds into the trash can on the deck. Kayden makes her way inside but I stop her.

Kayden-"Ow! Why did you pull my arm?"

Keira-"we smell like cigarettes. You have perfum in your purse?"

Kayden-"oh yeahhhhhh"

Kayden pulls out perfum and sprays both of us and we walk walk back inside.
