Piper Carmichael's Story

After Driving for 6 hours, Tyler begun unloading the boxes ready to move upstairs to his new home with Piper. He grabbed out his phone
and typed "Hey Honey, I just arrived" after pressing send. He begun moving the boxes upstairs, however when he reached one of the floors, there was three woman laughing and talking about what looked like a baby, he didn't see clearly as the box was blocking his view. However, he didn't bother saying hi, there no point in saying hi right now anyways, as he still has a lot moving to do and he needs to get everything done before Piper arrives.
How he wished that he had a helper or a person to be here for him, Piper could have been but she had something to do, not sure if it's the moving that she doesn't want to do or the event she was just more important. However looking back He did have someone like that before her, Kendra, who he did everything with but then they lost touch for years, and he doesn't know where she is now, probably married and happy prepared for a life. He was in fact ready for his..with Piper, hopefully.

As Tyler left the last box in the room he locked up, it was probably a great idea to get some food he hasn't eaten since the morning. He did see a cafe along the way, perhaps it was a good idea to go check it out, so he can get some ideas as to where he can show Piper, when she gets here.
He tapped another message to Piper.
"Honey? I am just going to get a afternoon meal, what are you doing? Why aren't you responding?"
However, just as he entered the cafe, he saw something that wanted to make him turn around and change plans. He was hesitant, he tried to tell himself to get out right that minutes, but his foot wasn't budging, it almost as if his body was not under his mind's control. There sat near the other end of the cafe a group of people, that made his mind flood with emotions. One of them was Kendra the love of his life or at least once was and probably still is, at the same table sat Zoe, Kendra's sister and Kyle, Kendra's best friend, however there was a little girl next to Kyle, who is she, he wondered. Noticing how she called Kendra mother, she couldn't possibly married someone, at least not according to Kyle the last time at the bar, but then he didn't ask anyways.
Finally, exhausted he quickly rushed out the door, he still doesn't have the courage to face her....

For the second time in her life, Kendra is left as the heart-broken, confused, enraged, scared, and abandoned one in the fight. She hated it. Last time, was definitely easier, even if she was pregnant and still a teenager. At least he left, and she had no idea he was engaged to be married. Now, she knows exactly where he is, where he works, his daily schedule... She knows EVERYTHING about Kyle. That's what almost a year of friendship gives you.



And she hated that. Why did she have to develop feelings? She knew Summer liked him, why did she just shrug her off? Why didn't she tell her back the fuck up?



Being the person Kendra is though, she'll still smile to them. She'll still have the feelings, just buried so deep down inside of her, that it'll seem she only truly loves her daughter, and sister.

"I'll always be there.... for love and for fear.... just wipe... away... those tears..."

Kendra sobbed, over and over, getting everything out of her system then. She was never going to touch alcohol or cigarettes again as long as she lived. Kendra buried her face in her hands, the tears just streaming. She couldn't stop them. Her knuckles on her left hand throbbed from punching Summer's cement hard head. There was even a little blood in-between each knuckle. She kept that hand clenched into a fist, and hid under her stomach

Kendra vowed in that moment. She vowed on her life, that she wasn't going to show feelings for any man again. She was a perfect parent, and Tristen loved her the way she was. They didn't need a man. Kendra had a job. She had to go back the next day in fact. She couldn't wait to start her new leaf on life.

A leaf of no emotions.

---

No more following her heart....




No more trusting her friends...




No more chasing after a lost flame...



She's following her brain...






Only family will stay by her side...






She doesn't need love. Not then, not now, not ever.

---

Kendra was giving up on them. Her and Tristen had made it this far without them. They sure didn't need any extra emotional turmoil.


Maybe they'd even move again. Just to get away from everyone. Be safe, and sound in their own world.

Just her and Tristen.....

forever.

"Kendra had just screwed up her relationship with Kyle, Summer's whole love life, and possibly Kyle's. She started to cry again, turned into the nothingness she wished she was. Tristen couldn't comfort her, Zoe would just go beat Kyle and Summer to a pulp, so she went down the hallway, and out onto the balcony that was connected to all the apartments on her floor. She stayed at the end she came in through, and looked down over the railing.



She sank down the wall, and buried her head. Kendra sucked at relationships, and it was starting to show, if it wasn't clear earlier, since the father of her child ran out on her. She cried to her heart's emotions, feeling like a tossed bone, that not even the stray dog that lived alone in the alley wanted.

She hadn't kissed anyone besides Tyler before, and she meant it when she kissed Kyle. She honestly did. Kendra liked him a lot, if not loved him. Tristen looked up to him as a father figure. He was perfect in her eyes, and Tristen's. Maybe one day, she'd have more kids, with a father around. But, then Tyler came to mind. She still loved him. She HAD to find out where he was honestly, before she could do anything.... with anyone. Kendra hoped that Tyler would come around soon. She needed to find him...

"Maybe it's for the best..." Kendra leaned her head back against the wall, and looked up into the starry night. She wished she could be a star.

Maybe it was for the best. Maybe they weren't meant to be.
