Vitality

Chapter 16

"Go Tate go!" I hear my dad scream off the bleachers.

It was the last play of the game and Tate was the quarterback. We are one touchdown away from victory. The whole school is cheering and yelling. Including me, I'm cheering for my brother.

"C'mon Tate!" I yelled while clapping my hands. The play started and he looked around to pass the ball but no one was open. Tate decided to run the ball and just when he didn't see it coming.. he got hit.. hard.

"Oh my gosh" I woke up, crying

"Baby, what's wrong?" Keaton got up right away and comforted me.

"It was dream, just a dream" I kept repeating to myself. The tears just kept coming

"Shhhh, it's okay I'm here" Keaton pulled me in for a hug. He got me tissues from his drawer and wiped my tears away. "It was just a bad dream"

"But it wasn't a dream, Keaton. It's real" I got up and went to the bathroom because I knew I was going to cry even harder. It took me about 10 minutes to get myself together. I washed my face and looked at myself in the mirror. "It's okay" I told myself and then left the bathroom to find Keaton waiting for me.

"I'm sorry" he apologized for nothing

"It's not your fault" I walked up to him and gave him a peck on the lips. "Now let's go see how Kyla and Will are doing, shall we?" I changed the subject, took his hand and guiding us both to the guest room. I knocked before entering and didn't hear a sound so I just walked in.

"Good morning!" Both Keaton and I screamed waking Kyla and Will up.

"Get out of here!" Will screamed and put a pillow over his face. You could tell Kyla had no clothes on because she stayed under the covers.

"How was it?" I crouched down next to her and asked

"I'll tell you later, when I actually have clothes on" she whispered making me laugh

"Okay" I backed up

"Alright I'm cooking everyone breakfast so you sluts better be down there" Keaton told them and then went to the kitchen to start cooking. I left them in the room so they could change and then went into the living room where people were starting to wake up. I walked over to Bethany and shook her till she was up.

"What's going on?" She shot up and looked around.

"You just woke up" I laughed at her cause one of her fake eyelashes was on her forehead.

"Oh, where am I?" She asked looking around.

"You're at Keaton's" I said watching her

"Oh shit. I thought I was home"

"Nope. And you're shit faced again" I helped her get up and walk to the bathroom so she could wash her face.

"Thanks Ari" she half smiled and I helped her wash her face. She wasn't as bad as last time but still needed a little help. I then settled her down in a chair in the kitchen so she could eat.

"One order of pancakes with bacon" Keaton gave a plate to Bethany.

"Thanks Keaton" she dug her face into the pancakes

One by one people started piling into the kitchen. Keaton loved it, he continued to cook.

"You're really good at this" I complimented and hugged him

"Yeah, I guess I am" he put his one arm around me and continued to flip pancakes with the other arm.

After everyone ate, they went home except Kyla, Will and I. Us four were just hanging out in the living room.
