Kallos (Kallos Series) - By Khelsey Jackson Page 0,44

puffy dress and a big red bow in your hair,” Ian laughs. She knows what dress he is talking about. It was for her Christmas program, and she had her first solo. “I swear that bow was bigger than your head. When I saw you, Kallos, I gave you a piece of my heart. I know you know that I’ve been with other girls, but they didn’t mean anything to me. It has always been you.” She can feel her heart melting.

“We should start heading home; your dad is going to send a search party for us. He’ll probably send some hounds to hunt us down.” This time when Ian smiles, it lights up his beautiful face, and his gray eyes seem to sparkle with little silver specks even more pronounced by the sun shining on us.

Kallos just shakes her head and starts to walk home. She loves how both of them can turn a tense moment into a fun moment. The thing that scares her the most is that she knows that she is falling in love with both of them. Or, maybe she already did love them. After that thought, she really doesn’t want to talk about anything else. Kallos doesn’t know if they know exactly what she is feeling, but it doesn’t matter. Her dad’s car is already in the driveway, and her mom is waiting for them in the doorway. Kallos knows it’s taken them an extra ten minutes to get home, and she really hopes that won't cause any problems.

This is only the second night for Sean and Ian here, and she doesn’t want to start a fight. Her mom’s face doesn’t show anger; it looks like it always does. She looks loving and happy. Maybe this is a good sign, and the plus is that Kallos doesn’t see her dad anywhere. The boys are walking behind Kallos, as she gives her mom a hug and a kiss. Her mom gives the boys a big smile that reaches her eyes.

“Hello boys. How was your day?” Kallos knows that her mom is asking all of them. It makes her feel good that her mom is including Ian and Sean. They walk in and Kallos can see her dad in the kitchen; he looks right past her and glares at Ian and Sean.

“Oh James, you need to stop. It’s not like they all did the nasty on the way home.”

“Mom!” Kallos screams and the boys start coughing while trying not to laugh. Her whole body felt like it was on fire. She looks at her dad, and he is now standing with his face as red as hers. She doesn't think he’s blushing.

“Oh, it was a joke! James, you need to relax and sit down,” her mom lectures him. To Kallos' amazement, her dad sits down. Slowly, she can see his color come back to normal. Kallos releases the breath she’s been holding, and she hears Sean and Ian do the same. “Well kids, how was your day?” Kallos smiles at her mom. She is so happy her mom is back to her loving self.

“It was great, Mom,” Kallos says with a smile.

“It was good, Mrs. Dean,” Ian says, starting to breathe normally again.

“The same, Mrs. Dean,” Sean says as Kallos' mom gives them a smile and shakes her head.

“I think my daughter’s soul mates can call me by my first name, Brooke,” she chuckles. Ian and Sean just nod to her.

“I’ll be right back; I want to put my stuff away,” Kallos starts to walk to the stairs. As she gets to the top of the stairs, her heart feels like it is going to pound through her chest. She holds on to the railing for support and knows that Sean and Ian will be there. She just hopes that they make it before she falls down the stairs. She tries to take a deep breath, but that makes her chest hurt worse. She tells herself to slow her breathing down.

Kallos’ head just starts to pound, and she is starting to see dark spots in her vision. She knows that she is going to pass out and they still aren’t there to help her. She turns her head, looking for them. There is no one behind her. She opens her mouth to scream, but that is when her eyesight and body give out on her. Kallos can feel herself falling, and she knows that falling down the stairs could kill her. All of a sudden, she
