Shonnalen swept the broken shards of glass out through the now open window. She shivered slightly as a cold blast of wind tossed her curly hair.

Bret walked over to her and stood there waiting for her to turn around and notice him. he wanted to talk with her.

Trudy looked up at brendon and then stood up. " i'm sorry i made a fool out of myself....i must have made you look dumb hiding behind you and all that." she blushed and looked down.

Shonnalen closed her eyes and hugged herself. She knew Bret was behind her. She had heard him walke up. "What do you need?" She asked turning to look at him.

"No way. I actually thought it was kinda cute." Brendon said as he tilted her chin back up so that she was looking at him again. "I will do anything to protect you."

Bret looked down and then back up at her. his percing blue eyes looking at her directly. " could we talk?...alone?" he asked.

Trudy grined. she wasnt sure what to stay. she stood up but kept the gun in her hand. she hugged Brendon and held him there for a moment. she pulled away but kept her arms around his neck. she looked and him in the eyes and then moved closer and kissed his lips.

Shonnalen nodded and set the broom down. "Alright." She said softly.

Brendon smiled as she put her arms round him. He closed his eyes and kissed her back as she pressed her lips to his. He didn't want it to end, but the sound of footsteps made him pull back.

Trudy pulled back and looked at Bret and Shonnalen walking by. " uh..." she grined.

Bret glared at the two.
trudy pointed at the gun. " um i was just..uh going to put this away." she giggled and ran upstairs.

Shonnalen smiled at her brother and shook her head. "The're childreen ... let them be." She said seeing the look on Bret's face. She walked on upstares.

Brendon slipped past Bret and followed Trudy back to the bedroom they shared.

Bret sighed and then followed Shonna.
when they got to the roof Bret spoke. " Shonnalen, i really dont want to pry but this has been keeping me awake at night.." he paused." who is mark?" he asked softly.


Trudy put the gun back in the place she had first got it from and turned around to see Brendon. she blushed. " i uh didnt mean to um..erm.." she stopped talking realizing she could barely get words out.

Shonnalen leaned against the low wall and her back to Bret. She closed her eyes for a moment at the sudden flood of memories. "I was engaged to him..." She said softly. "He ... "Her voice caught and she couldn't finish the sentence.

Brendon lifted an eyebrow. "Why are you apologiseing? You didn't do anything wrong."

Bret sat down next to her. " he what?" he asked already figureing this subject was touchy.

Trudy looked up and smiled. " oh so you liked it?" Trudy asked already knowing the answer.

"He died ... " She finished hastily and turned to look at him. "That was two years ago... he got sick and died. Now can you please stop asking me about it. The memories are painful enough without you prying into them."

"Yeah I did." Brendon said as he took a step toward her. "And I wouldn't mind if you did it again."

_________________

Bret sat there next to her almost shocked. he had no idea. he wouldnt have said anything if he had thought it was that bad. " I-I'm sorry..i didnt.." he stopped. he stared at her for a moment and no matter if she wanted him to or not he put an arm around her and pulled her close to him and laided his cheek on her hair.

Lanie looked up at him in a sort of playful way. " oh really. " she stood up so that they were fairly close together. she reached up and wraped one of his waves around her finger. she stepped a bit closer to him and put her face close to his. she kissed him softly on the lips then went in for a much larger portion of his lips.

Shonnalen slowly lifted her arms and hugged him back. She took a deep breath and all the tention seemed to drain away. The tears came unbidden and she couldn't hold them back anymore.

Brendon waited as she stood. A shiver seemed to run down his spine as she ran her hand through his hair. He kissed her back and slid a hand round her waist pulling her closer.

_________________

Bret was almost surprised to see her cry. it's something he never even thought of her doing. it seemed unnatural for her to cry. but now. i guess he realized she was like every noraml girl out there.
he kept her close not saying anything for a while just letting her cry in his chest.


as Lanie was pressed against him, ina whirl of emotion and plesure. she realized this couldnt go too far. she pulled away and smiled. " Brendon i..." she closed her mouth knowing that he would understand.
she walked over to the vanity and lookin the mirror for a moment.

Shonnalen pulled away from Bret and turned so that her back was to him. She was really embarrassed at her sudden emotional outburst. "We should go inside... it's getting cold."

Brendon realised what had been about to happen when Trudy pulled away and he sat up embarrassed at his actions. "I'm sorry ... " He said softly.

Trudy turned and smiled. " no, dont worry about it, really. i started it." she giggled. " so are we......like...'together'" she asked

Bret wanted to keep her where she was but the realized she wasnt wearing much. he stood up and helped her up as well. they went inside.
