Miki nodded slowly, completely at a loss as to what information could freak her best friend out like this. "Sure Kylie, no problem. I can't think of anything you could do that would ever make me hate you. Just tell me already."
She leaned her elbows on the table and rested her chin in her hands. "You're making me think all kinds of crazy things right now like..I dunno you slept with a bikie or something. And I know that can't be it." She snickered softly and shook her head. "Spill."

Kylie nearly choked on her smoothie. Close..... She wasn't sure whether or not Brody could be classified under the category of a biker anymore, considering that he no longer drove a motorcycle. "Nope, still got my v-card," she said, chuckling nervously.
Taking a deep breath, she continued her story. "So, I like went to audition for the Christmas concert and I ran into Brody. It was so totally weird because I had like no idea that he could sing. Anyways, he asked me to hang out and I was like, 'Sure whatever' because I knew he was totally messing with me." She paused a second to sip her smoothie, blushing as she thought about him. "But then I found him waiting outside for me after I was done, which totally threw me off. We wound up going to the movies....."

Miki scoffed at the notion that Brody could sing, even though she knew he was actually really good. She'd promised when she was about ten that she'd never tell anyone about the singing lessons he'd had. As Kylie continued to talk, she leaned back in her chair and folded her arms.
When Kylie finished, she narrowed her eyes slightly, a confused look on her face. "That's all you wanted to tell me? That you went to the movies? I'm not gonna hate you for that. One movie will tell you all you need to know about my idiot brother. All he's interested in is getting some."

Kylie flinched a bit at Miki's assumption. A few months ago she would have went right along with her, believing that Brody was nothing more than a sex-addicted lowlife that lived to torment her. However, she now saw him in a different light. Even though she still had her doubts and worries, she was starting to come around to completely trusting him.
Choosing not to respond to Miki's comment, she twirled a piece of her hair and continued. "So we were watching the movie and then he...uh...kissed me..... It actually wasn't that bad..." She glanced down at the table, unable to look Miki in the face. While she had almost no regrets about that day, she couldn't bear to see Miki's reaction to the news. "He likes me and I really like him too." Actually Kylie's feelings had progressed much further in the past few months, but she figured that now was probably not the time to discuss it. This conversation would be awkward enough; telling Miki that she was falling in love with Brody would only make things weirder.
"Anyways, so we both got singing parts in the Christmas thingy. We had to like sing this love song with each other, well it was like a Christmas love song. He actually sings really well." She giggled at the memory. The smile quickly faded as she reached her least favorite part of the story. She wished that it could have ended right there, with her and Brody singing happily together, but sadly, life was unfair. "So one day we were leaving practice and this random girl shows up...."

Miki raised an eyebrow as Kylie trailed off once more, trying to keep her face and voice impassive and failing miserably. "You let him kiss you? Are you insane? Have you forgotten what he and his stupid friends did to us at Bekah's birthday party? Not to mention he drinks and drives...well, you know. Rides. Whatever, he still does idiotic things and deep down he doesn't give a crap about anyone but himself." She took a deep breath and shook her head.
"You do realise he uses the fact that he can sing to get girls into bed? It's like his default if his face doesn't work." She rolled her eyes and sipped her drink. "Sorry. Go on. This girl then."

Still terrified to look her best friend in the eye, Kylie kept her gaze downward towards the table. "Well, it like....just happened, you know? Like I was just watching the movie and he just like leaned in and did it. It really didn't last long enough for me to do anything about it." She sighed at yet another comment about Brody getting girls into bed. Even though she sort of understood why he cast her aside the other night, she still couldn't understand why he hadn't tried anything with her before that. What did those other girls have that she didn't?
She tilted her head back up to look at Miki as she sadly began to recount what she considered one of the worst days of her life. "So we were leaving practice one day and we were so happy, like he was holding my hand and everything. Then, like completely out of the blue, he suddenly turned on me and told me that he had to like go visit a friend or something. I was bummed, but I said bye and got in my car." Feeling a tear well up in her eye, she quickly sucked in her lip. "I was getting ready to pull out and I saw him with this girl through the windshield. She was sitting on his bike and she looked like a million bucks." Trying to remain as calm as possible, she quickly cut to the chase. "I started ignoring him after that because I was majorly pissed. Then like a few days later, he came by my house and told me that she was preggers....and he's the father."

Mikaela sat dumbstruck, her smoothie halfway to her mouth. Surely Kylie was just pulling her leg right? She couldn't possibly be telling the truth. The amount of times her mother had drummed safe sex into her, she was sure Brody had gotten the same lecture. He couldn't possibly be that stupid.
Setting her cup down, she wrinkled her brow. "Ok, I'll play along. How long has she got til the baby is born, or did she...you know..? And what's going on then? Did he just give her money and make her go away?

Kylie sighed and shook her head. Nope, Liesl hadn't gone away. In fact, it was just the opposite. She was popping up everywhere, such as the Christmas pageant and the hallways of Riverside High, mentally tormenting Kylie with her good looks and perfectly straight hair. "No, she's still around. Her family decided to like move here too and stuff. That's why he got that random new job because he needs money."
She quickly took a few sips of her smoothie in an attempt to stop herself from becoming choked up. "I think she's like a few months or something. He showed me the sonogram pic, but it didn't really look like a baby yet, so I guess she's got awhile."

Mikaela shook her head slowly. "Why didn't he tell me? I mean, sure he's a dumbass but that doesn't mean he hides something like this from his family you know? How the hell am I gonna tell Dan and Jade? Well, I mean, Jade won't care cause she thinks Brody is awesome, but Dan is gonna kill him...right?"
Smoothing her features, she smiled tightly. "So well at least that means you came to your senses. Seriously, if you'd gone nuts and thought you should date him or whatever, I'd have had to do an exorcism on you. Don't you remember anything he's done to me? Or you?"

Kylie shrugged her shoulders. "I...I don't know. I don't know how you like tell somebody this. He just like sort of blurted it out to me because I told him that I knew what was going on. I thought he was going to tell me that he didn't want me anymore. I was so totally wrong." She trembled a little at the thought of Dan killing Brody. She barely knew Dan, having only met him a few times when she was in junior high, but the thought of Brody lying somewhere beaten up and covered in blood was enough to make her stomach turn.
She tried to pull herself together after hearing the rest of what Miki had to say, but she failed miserably. "We're still like hanging out and stuff. He wanted me to tell you about the baby and about us because he thought that you'd totally hate his guts if he told you himself." She gulped in a breath, attempting to hold back more tears. "Now you're gonna hate my guts because I'm still totally into him. I know he hit me in the face with a hackeysack. I know he helped wreck Bekah's party. I know he did a bunch of super bad stuff to you. I know he's having a baby with someone way hotter than me. I still want him." Feeling the tears start to fall, she quickly got out her compact and tissue to do damage control.

Miki took a deep breath. "Us? You and Brody are an...us?" She fought to stop herself from dry retching. "I'm not going to hate you. Your brain has just...taken leave or something. Right?" She pasted a smile on her features. "Please, please don't do anything dumb, like sleep with him. Promise?" A horrible thought crossed her mind. "You..you didn't...you haven't already...have you? I know you said already you haven't but I'm just double checking."
This time, the effort to stop herself pulling a face failed. "Get a test if you have. Trust me, just get a test."

Kylie breathed a sigh of relief at the news that Miki didn't hate her. "Yeah, we're like kind of an us." If it wasn't for Brody using the term "us" himself, she would have never considered them one. Usually when her and her girlfriends would use that word, it meant that they were exclusive with someone and that they were serious about them. It didn't refer to a person that was forced to share the person they loved with another girl.
"No, we totally haven't slept together," she said, trying not to turn bright red. Apparently he doesn't like me that much..... She nearly winced at the memory of the two of them in his car and what had almost happened. "What do you mean, like get a test?" Just exactly how many girls had Brody slept with? And how come she couldn't measure up to them?

Mikaela couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry, settling for biting her lip nervously. "Ok, so I complain about Brody all the time, but I'm so glad you haven't done...it. I haven't told you a lot of what he'd done when we were away. I put it down to him being mad about Eve or whatever but I think he was just being a douche. He used to walk around the house boasting every weekend about the new girls he'd slept with, and how they let him do it without a condom." She wrinkled her nose. "So, you know, if you get there...and you decide to ignore my advice..at least make sure he's been tested, and you use one."
A thought crossed Miki's mind and she grinned mischeviously. Leaning across the table, she stared into Kylie's face earnestly. "But ultimately, I'd love for you to get revenge for all the crap he's ever done. Make him fall for you really, and then leave him in the dirt."

Kylie's green eyes immediately got bigger. She had known that Brody had gotten around, but she had no idea that it was that extreme. While she remained somewhat calm on the outside, a lot of emotions were going on inside of her. There was a rational voice deep inside telling her to run far away from him and never look back, but she could hear an even bigger one telling her to wait. Miki had said that this had happened while they were away, which meant it had been over a year ago. That was the old Brody, the annoying, rude Brody that had starting appearing somewhere in her life between seventh and eighth grade. The guy that she knew now had sworn that he was much different from the guy that she had known in the past. Instead of wasting her breath and explaining yet again that he was trying to change, she simply nodded her head at Miki's suggestion. "Yeah, I'll totally make sure of it." She might have been a little naive when it came to Brody, but she was smart enough to know to use a condom.
She stayed silent at Miki's other suggestion. Getting revenge on Brody might have been fine for the plot of a random teen movie, but given her feelings, there was no way that she could agree to do such a thing in real life. "I'm so not doing that," she said, raising an eyebrow. If she were lucky enough to get Brody to fall for her, she was going to stay right where she was.
