It Feels Right

twenty3

We all got home safely, but I just wanted my bed. The team unpacked everything, and went home slowly, but surely. Of course, we had to be the last ones home since my dad had to lock up. 

On the way home, we stopped to grab some food since Kyle "was starving". My dad asked if I wanted anything, I shrugged my shoulders, and shook my head no. All I wanted to do was go home, and sleep. Luckily my wish came true. 

We got home in about ten minutes after we stopped. Kylie, and I got out of the truck first, and headed to the house. I step into the house and Addy is there with her new friend? 

"Oh hey Kolby. Hi Kylie!" She runs to give Kylie a hug. 

Addy's friend finally turns around to look at me... I couldn't believe my eyes. Ethan. 

Not even a minute later, Grayson is running down the stairs with Kensleigh on his back. I feel an arm wrapped around my shoulders as if someone was trying to protect me. It was my dad. He knew what I was going through, and wanted the best for me.

"Addy, I need you to leave. Kensleigh, you need to get these gentlemen back to where ever they are staying. No more company for a while now. Too much has happened/been going on, this family needs a break with visitors. Besides, we just got back from a long trip, we'd like to rest."

"But dad-" she whined. 

"No, Kensleigh." he became stern, "You need to have more respect for your family. Now please, do as I say."

"Whatever. C'mon guys let go. Addy is it cool if I stay at your house?"

"Yeah for sure." she turned and gave me a nasty look.

"Thanks. Come help me pack so we can leave faster." Kens snarled. 

Kens, and Addy run up to her room, while the rest of us drop our things in the laundry room. Kylie, and I were hungry at this point, so we made ourselves some lunch. It was kind of awkward with Ethan, and Grayson in the living room. I haven't talked to either one of them for over two to three months. Kylie finally spoke up, "Hey B?"

"What's up" concentrated on my making my food.

"Wanna look up different things to do in California with me? I'd like it if you would go exploring with me."

"Of course, watch my food? I'll go grab my laptop."

"Okay, yeah." It took me like eight minutes to grab my laptop out of my bag because I couldn't find my charger.

"Sorry, I couldn't find my charger. It died while we were on the bus."

"It's good. Your food is done by the way."

"Alright. Thank you. You can do whatever while I grab my food." I turned my back to a confused Kylie. 

"Uhh. B, what's this? Are you writing?" she said pointing at the screen, that was facing me. 

"Oh, um... yeah. It's a song I'm working on. I have the instrumental part done, I'm just trying to get some lyrics to go along with it, but since Papaw isn't here to help me with that part, it's taking a little longer than I would like."

"Don't worry. It'll be done soon, I have a feeling that the words will come to you eventually. Things like this take some time." turning the laptop back to her. 

"Thanks Ky. If you want to listen to the instrumental, it's in my files."

"Found it." Kylie goes ahead and plays the instrumental

"Oh god, what are you guys listening to now?" Kens said as she hit the floor from the stairs.

"It just happens to be Kolby's success. But you're super salty towards Kolby because you know she's going to be more successful than you."

"Kylie, no. We have different talents. That's all."

"Why are you defending her? She just pulled so much crap on you!"

"Because whether she hurt me or not, she's still my twin, and I still love her. We shouldn't hold grudges against people no matter how hard it is. We forgive even if what they did wasn't worthy enough to be forgiven."

"You're right. I'm sorry Kens."

"Kolby you always had a way with words and it's sickening. Please don't ever do that again." Kens spat back.

"I will always stick up for you Kensleigh, whether you want me to or not because you're my twin and you will always come first."

"That's all fine, and dandy, but don't do in front of me." She walks out of the house with Grayson by her side. Addy looks at Ethan, "Ready to go, babe?"

"Oh, uh yeah, ready." He looks over his shoulder at me with a sad look on his face. I could tell this was not where he wanted to be.

Babe? Are they dating? I took my phone out, and checked Instagram. Yep. It's official. They are dating. For some reason it hurt, a lot. I set my phone down on the table, and started crying into my hands. Kylie came over to me, and just held me like Ethan did. 

"It'll be okay B. I promise. Someday Kens, and Addy will know what they did was wrong, and they'll be bowing down to you for forgiveness. Ethan will figure out that you're the one he needs to be with, and Grayson will dump Kensleigh's sorry butt."

"Thank you Ky" I giggled. There was never a dull moment with Kylie. She was like my right hand man.
