"Okay!"  
   
"Are you?"

"Kids know more than they let on."  
   
"I guess..."  
   
"Stop crying. It's weird."  
   
"Sorry."  
   
"Go back to being an emotionless asshole, it suit you better."  
   
"Have you ever had your ass penetrated before?"  
   
"Not that quickly!"  
   
"And never call me Kaz again. It's a family thing."  
   
"Why do they even call you that?"  
   
"It was how I pronounced my name when I was little. It stuck."  
   
"It's a cool name."  
   
"It has bad memories."  
   
"Lighten up. I don't see why my sister loves you."  
   
"That's because you haven't seen my dick."  
   
"Is your relationship that shallow?"  
   
"It was a rainy day of the summer you and I graduated. We stopped having sex a year before that. She thought it was weird to be having sex with her older brother's best friend, who was almost 3 years older than her. She came over to my house crying, telling me she ran away. Tears running down her face, bag packed and everything. I let her come in, made her tea, gave her a blanket then listened to her."  
   
"Slow down! You drink tea?"  
   
"Got a problem with that?"  
   
"Yeah, I do! The you I know is a bad ass that ripped a guy's arm off before!"  
   
"I like tea, okay? Want me to me finish?"  
   
"Sure"  
   
"I talked things through with her, then she decided she wouldn't go home. I let her use my shower and bed. She made me promise to not call you or your parents. I didn't. I then made her breakfast. She was still sleeping. I had to go to work, so I left her there. I basically took care of her for two week."  
   
"Wait a minute! So she didn't go to England with her friends?!"  
   
"That was a lie. Anyways, I never stopped talking to her. I helped work things out with her. I even read some of her work. She's a really talented writer. Anyways, she wanted to go back home. I was happy. The next day, she's at my door with flowers and a condom. Who could say no?"  
   
"That's enough. But why did you leave without saying goodbye to her?"  
   
"She doesn't need to know."
