American Dream

Chap 23- Uh oh

Maybe I can get this up tonight.... Two in one day, you lucky people. Also, I'm beginning to realise my ending might not be that weird, so yeah.

Rory's POV
I got in the cab, asking the driver to take me to the airport. I couldn't believe it. Jay was visiting! I tied my still damp hair back from my face and slipped my flip flops into my bag- who says I couldn't go barefoot in public? It's LA, it's warm enough.

When we arrived, I paid the fare and climbed out, shooting a smile at the driver before heading inside. I scanned the arrivals area and spotted my brother, who was waving like a lunatic.
"Jay!" I squealed, running into his arms. He picked me up and twirled me around, a big grin on his face.
"Hey little sis! Oh, I've missed you," he buried his face in my hair, setting me down.
"We talk nearly every day," I giggled.
"Yeah, but it's not the same, is it. Oh by the way, I didn't get coffee yet, I thought we could go sit down and catch up before you drag me away?" I nodded and picked up his carry on, and he dragged his suitcase behind him to the airport Starbucks.

We both ordered our usual drinks, before sitting down at a little table in the corner to talk.
"How's America?" He jumps in, before I can ask about back home. I didn't really mind, and he settled down while I told him everything that had happened since I moved. He asked a couple questions about Kevin, ones that he didn't already, and also asked when he got to meet everyone. I checked my watch.
"Well.... It's not to late. Tonight?" He agreed, so we headed out to catch a cab home.

On the cab ride, I tried to point out a few of the things I recognised.
"I thought you said you didn't really know your way around?" He asked in disbelief.
"I don't," I laughed. "But that's because I have no sense of direction. I know the basics, and I just get Scott or Mitch to take me other places." He nodded, and we carried on chatting.

Once we got home, he dumped his bags. Still standing in the middle of the living room, I asked him how he was doing.
"Well, better than I was," he sighed.
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't want to tell you over Skype, but I found Mark in bed with some girl... Three weeks ago?" I didn't say anything, simply walking over and wrapping my arms around his neck.
"How are you holding up?" I asked, my voice muffled by his shirt. Mark was his boyfriend of two and a half years. Well, ex now, I suppose. And to think I thought he was pretty cool.
"I'll be fine."
"You sure?" I pulled back, resting my forehead against his.
"I'm pretty much over him already- no point wasting tears, right? Right now I'm just glad I'm here with you."

Kevin's POV
I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit worried at how Rory disappeared. After an hour and a half or so, I decided that I would surprise her, and above all make sure everything was okay.
I caught a cab, and then found someone who was just leaving her apartment block to let me in. I walked upstairs.

Her door was slightly open, so I peered through the gap, unsure as to weather I should enter. I was about to knock when I saw her standing in her living room with her back to me, her forehead pressed against another mans. I heard the end of his sentence.

"I'm just glad I'm here with you."

I gasped, backing away from the door. They might have heard me, but I didn't care as I briskly walked down the stairs and out of the apartment block. I needed to think. I was making assumptions, and I knew it. She wouldn't do that to me. I hope.

Rory's POV
I heard a gasp, and my head darted to the door in time to see Kevin back away and disappear down the stairs.
"Fuck," I breathed.
"I'm guessing I just met Kevin?" Jay asked.
"Yeah, but he doesn't know you're my brother."
"Ah. That didn't look good then," he said, realisation dawning on him.
"Nope." I glanced from Jay to the door and back again, before sighing in frustration and running a hand through my hair.
"C'mon. Lets hope he didn't get too far," I said, grabbing his wrist and dragging him after me as I ran down the stairs.

We burst out into sunlight, and I glanced both ways before spotting Kevin. He was quite far away, but I could tell he was walking quite fast and he kept running a hand over his head. I sighed again in resignation before running after him, still dragging Jay.

"Kevin! Kevin wait!" I yelled, trying hard to catch up. He kept walking, but I noticed that he had slowed down. "Kevin please!" We reached him, and he stopped and turned around. "It's not what you think!"
"I really hope it isn't," he said, glancing at Jay. "Although I'm not sure what else it could be."

Okay, so drama. Opinions?

Plus, Jay!

Okay, I'm done stating the obvious. I hope this makes up for lack of post yesterday. I'm on a roll, so I'm going to at least start the next chapter tonight, but I might not post tomorrow because its someone's birthday. Kay?

Thank you all, my Internet friends (and real life friends) have been really supportive. I think. I'm not really sure because wattpad doesn't like me right now, but from what I can see...

Let me know what you think, and thanks for reading!
