Lottery // Harvey Specter

XI

'Where's Rachel?' Kyra asked Gretchen kindly.

Gretchen looked up at Kyra, 'In the restrooms I presume, that father of that dead girl said some really mean things to her.'

Kyra's eyes widened, she dropped her bag with her papers and ran to the restrooms. Rachel was just standing in front of the mirror, trying to calm herself down. 'Hey... hey...'

Rachel turned around and Kyra hugged her,  'It's okay, he's just angry and confused...'

Rachel wiped her tears away, 'Yes, well... He's angry at the wrong person.'

Kyra smiled and nodded as she grabbed paper towels to save Rachel's makeup, 'I know. Let's just call it a day, I'll take you home.'

Rachel smiled and nodded as they left and they walked down the halls until they reached the elevators where Rachel's father suddenly showed. 'Dad? What are you doing here?'

He examined the funny dressed girl beside his daughter, before answering, 'I came to talk to you...' he hesitated before continuing, 'Jim Rodgers found your missing witness. She died three years ago.'

Kyra froze and quickly looked at Rachel who stumbled backwards, 'We're calling it a day, remember?'

Rachel nodded and waved at her dad before turning around and leaving, Kyra called a taxi and they went to Rachel's place. And suddenly something clicked when Kyra looked at the location, 'Oh my god... you're Mike's girlfriend...'

Rachel nodded and walked inside her apartment, 'I'll set up some water for the tea and I'll grab us some chocolate.'

Kyra settled on the couch, 'Today you're allowed to eat as much chocolate as you want.'

Rachel sat next to Kyra and gave her her cup, 'So tell me, how did you get to work at Pearson Specter?'

Kyra smiled, 'You sure you don't want to talk about something else?'

'No, I need to get my mind of everything.'

Kyra sighed, 'A few days ago, Donna called me... She said that Harvey needed someone because his best friend is in prison and that the firm needed a lawyer who didn't mind to work for a collapsing firm.'

'Wait. You're Harvey's friend?' Rachel asked.

'Yes, I told you that already, why is that such a surprise to everyone?'

'Well, for starters, Harvey doesn't have many friends,' Rachel giggled, 'And, well if does, they're usually...'

'More upper class?' Kyra suggested and Rachel nodded. Kyra picked some chocolate, 'We met before he climbed all the way up the ladder.'

Rachel sat straight, 'What was he like?' Kyra smiled and looked at her hands, alarming Rachel, who's eyes widened, 'No way. You're his ex.'

Kyra giggled, 'Yes well, it's a long time ago. And it's not a very happy story.'

'What happened?' Rachel asked.

Kyra glanced at the floor, 'We were children at heart, no idea that love sometimes doesn't last forever.'

Rachel smiled sheepishly, 'I'm sorry.'

'Shit happens, Rachel. But Mike, he's a good guy and he'll get out, you'll live a happy life.'

Rachel nodded, 'Thank you.'

'It's okay.'

Rachel sighed and looked at the clock, 'Will you stay here for tonight? I... get these nightmares and...'

Kyra smiled, 'Of course.'

'Of course you can come in Harvey.' Kyra heard her mother say and she raised her feet. She ran towards the door, carrying a smile o her lips only to see that down Harvey's cheek rolled a tear.

'Harvey?' she whispered as he grabbed her arm and pulled her head against his chest. She could feel his tears trickling down her neck, while his arms clung around her. 'Hey... hey... What happened?'

'Dad's coming home... and mom... she did it again Kyra. She slept with someone else, in our own house,' he uttered.

Kyra looked at him in sympathy and forced him to look into her eyes, 'It's going to be okay, you'll make the right choice. Whether you tell him or not. Everything is going to be okay.'

'Harvey, you want to join us for dinner? You and your brother are always welcome here, just remember that, okay?' Kyra's mother asked him.

Harvey smiled kindly at her and nodded, 'Yes, we will. And dinner would be really nice, ma'am.'

Kyra smiled, 'You can stay here if you want to,' she told him and she frowned, 'you would have to stay in my brother's room though. My parents aren't strict, but I think that that wouldn't go very well with them.'

Harvey chuckled, 'No, I don't think it would. Your brother is pretty nice, I'll be fine.'

Kai came down the stairs and placed his arm across Harvey's shoulders, 'We're mates!'

Kyra shook her head, 'Your British accent is terrible.'

Kai ruffled through her hair, 'Like yours is any better.'

Kyra stuck out her tongue as her brother walked away and she tugged at Harvey's arm, 'Come on, we're eating lasagna.'
