The Disappearing Trick

Chapter 2

-Kate-

"E-eric is...." I trail off staring at the wall hoping he'll drop the subject and move on. I didn't have the strength to lie about Eric right now, and I sure as hell won't tell the truth about that son of a bitch. He's not worth my time nor was he ever. Jay never once looked away, instead he gave me a glare.

"Tell now!" He demanded yelling at me, with anger clearly in his voice. His glare burned into the side of my face. Me being myself I turned completely around not facing him. Jays eyes were something that right now I couldn't deal with. They seem to make you spill your guts. He was so innocent, lying to him would hurt you if you tried. Innocents clouded my everyjudgement of him.

"Fine don't answer, I know you and you will tell me when your ready." And with that Jay turned around and cleaned the apartment like a good little house wife.

I walk around toward the couch and plopping myself onto it. I need to relax for a day before I can completely recreate my plan.

"Movie?" Jay said completely taking me by surprise. I give a cheeky nod while staring at his butt. He knows I find his ass completely and utterly sexy. But as I said before, Jay and I are just friends. Our love boat sailed a while ago and we all drowned.

"Finding Nemo!" I squeal happily as I run to the kitchen to get us popcorn. Finding Nemo is my all time favorite movie besides Toy Story. What can I say, I love disney. Sometimes Jay finds me in the middle of the night curled up on the love seat watching Ant Farm or some show by Disney on the t.v.

"Fine just this once because you saved my ass back there." He says still most likely embarrassed. Event go Jay knows I Kate, he still treats me as his sister that needs protection from harms way.

I give off another squeal when the tv comes to life and the menu is displayed. The simple joys in life.

Jay presses play and the movie starts. 'Get ready to cry Charlotte get ready.'

-after movie-

I cried my eyes out during the movie and somewhere in the middle, ice cream appeared into my lap. I'm almost done with the tub now. I'm a sad ice cream eater.

"You always cry at this movie. Yet when the Red Fern Grows is on you don't dare shed a tear. Something in your brain isn't clicking. This isn't sad!" He says while having laughing fits. He is right tho. I've seen this movie a zillion times but I always cry. Yet few weeks ago he made a watch the Titanic and a bunch of other sappy love stories that have sad endings, or even sad movies that are sad throughout the while movie and I didn't show any emotion.

I am a sick twisted bastard.

I shrug and reach my hand into the bowl to grab my favorite buttery treat. Yet there is no popcorn in the bucket. There is absolutely nothing.

"This shan't go unnoticed!" I say loudly and accusingly as Jay. He smirks and responds in the best British accent he can spew up.

"The game is on m'lady!" He proclaims and licks his lips removing the buttery leftovers from his mouth.

And trust me I was thinking about licking it off for him. But that would have been awkward. Oh well.

I lean in and lick his face clean of butter and smirk as I pull back. He stares at me giving me a 'wtf' face.

"Yummy." I say.

"I bet." He smirks.

"Cheeky are we?" I raise my eyebrow.

"And horny." He says nonchalantly.

"The battle of the popcorn starts at midnight on the beach." I say

"I shall be there with my lucky sock." He says happily walking put of the room. The battles we have always happen on the beach and what we do is. We grab socks and fill them with sand and beat each other senseless until one begs for mercy. I usually lose because he cheats and brings two socks. But you can imagine, I get him back. I once spiked his coke because he touched my favorite teddy bear. He was so drunk that I beat him with a sock full of sand until he pasted out and that was pretty fast if you can imagine he still can't remember a thing. He thinks he fell down the stairs.

I slouch on the love seat waiting for Jay to return. In the meantime I turn on the tv to spongebob. I never understood this show. When I was little I thought Spongebob Squarepants was a foreign name for suicidal yellow square. Boy was I wrong. Now at age 19 I finally understand then concept of the show. But I still think he's a suicidal yellow square. No one is stupid enough to fall off a cliff and think their best friend is fine. World don't work like that. If Jay fell off a cliff and expected me to think he was fine. I would kill him. If the cliff didn't I would.

I zoned out through the rest of the show and decided to head to the beach and get ready for the battle. I head outside to feel the cool breeze brush against my cheeks. It makes me feel like a child when my mom would let me roam the waters and collect shells and comfort me when the breeze was too cold against my wet body. I miss her.

But I have to turn off the memory. I like to thing that our minds has different switches. When you remember something you turn the switch on. When you forget something you turn the switch off. My mother died five years ago and was murdered by my father. He disappeared soon after before the police could figure out it was him. I turned all the pain of my family off and focused on Jay from then on. And with that I turn off the switch.

I dip my feet in the salty water and close my eyes to take in the refreshing state of nature the beach is. I open my eyes again to be hit by a water balloon filled with lemonade. I don't know how he did it.

"It's on finger sniffer!" I scream and take my sock off and fill

It with sand. In the middle of the process Jay hits me in the side of the head with a sock full of sand. Hitting the ground with an 'thud' I quickly recover and hit him in the head with my sock.

"No not the hair! Ill do anything chare-bar!" He pleads covering his hair with his hands .

"Say I'm the sexiest thang in town!" I demand.

"I'm the sexiest thang in town." He says with a smirk.

"No not fair!" I scream. He runs away after giving me one last blow to the head with a sock. He wins this round this time.

I walk back inside and Jay is cleaning up. I run up to Jay and turn him around so that he's facing me.

I'm ready.

"Eric is my father."
