and daughter. Sometimes I wished we could have done some of the things she did with Ava, but I guess we just had a different relationship. I was Daddy’s girl and Ava was Mummy’s.
    “Mum, I’m going out with Adam and Sophie.”
    I watched as fight passed through her eyes. It was gone as quickly as it appeared.  She wanted to make me, she wanted to set the rules and force me to follow. I half wanted that too. We both knew she wasn’t going to.
    “Right, ” she replied with a heavy sigh. “Okay. Don’t be too late.”
    I nodded , but me agreeing meant as little as her order.
    “Honey, why d on’t you practice the piano? We could re-schedule your exam.”
    “No,” I replied. I didn’t even want to look at a piano, let alone play the fucking thing.
    “But– ”
    “No , Mum. I don’t want to play anymore,” I said. It was something I did with Dad, now he was gone it meant nothing.
    “Tegan, I…”
    “No,” I said, slightly more sternly than before.
    “Alright. Well , remember tomorrow we’re leaving right after lunch.”
    See, she knew I wouldn’t be home early enough for her to give me the run -down of tomorrow’s events later.
    “Yep,” I replied . I was so not looking forward to visiting the Daniels. Carl was doing well and as much of a bitch as it made me I couldn’t quite be jumping for joy over it.
    At half past seven I started to get ready. I curled my hair and put on a little make-up. My outfit was a short dark denim skirt and hot pink camisole that showed off a small amount of cleavage. Again, I looked older and like a stranger.
    Just as I was finishing up Kai beeped his horn. Knowing that I was going to be with him again tonight made me relax a bit. Tomorrow was going to be a nightmare so I was determined to shove everything away for as long as I could. No one did that better for me than Kai.
    I left the house feeling optimistic, for the night anyway.
    He stared at my legs, not even bothering to hide his ogling as I got in his car. “Eyes are up here, Kai,” I said sarcastically.
    He grinned, unashamed . “Sorry. You look… My mouth is actually watering.”
    “Thanks.” Mine is, too. He looked drop dead gorgeous in dark jeans and a black shirt. The top two buttons were undone; giving a peek at the dog tags he wore around his neck.
    “So, cheesy new club then?” he asked.
    “Sounds…shit but I’m sure the company won’t be.”
    He smirked. “I’ll make sure you have a good night.”
    I didn’t doubt it for a second.

Chapter Eight
     
     
    Kai
     
     
    Tegan was still fast asleep at ten-thirty and I wasn’t sure if I should wake her or let her sleep. She’d mentioned something when she was off her tits on vodka about going somewhere she didn’t want to go. I didn’t know what time this thing she didn’t want to do was.
    Last night I’d also found out why she looked like she was in constant pain. Her dad had died. That was fucking rough. You expected your parents to go first but not until you were all old.
    I wished it had been Tegan who’d told me what’d happened but as much as I wanted it to come from her I just wanted to bloody know. Sophie, thankfully, had a big mouth. Soph didn’t say when but I could tell it hadn’t been too long ago.
    It was weird, b ack when I was exactly where Tegan is I thought I was the only one in the world that couldn’t deal with death in the ‘normal’ way. I could see the same thought in her eyes.
    Breathing deeply, she stretched her back, arching her nake d body into mine. Two bright, leafy eyes locked on me and she smiled. Tegan’s eyes were an incredible shade with brown around the iris and yellow around the pupil. As amazing as they were they were also pained and withdrawn.
    She’d done a bloody good job of alienating the people in her life and building a wall around herself, much better than I did. I still gave a fuck and that pissed me off and made me retaliate even more. Right now Tegan was made of stone.
    “Hey,” I
