Nakutazuka's Wilflife Park (RP)

" when you are around animals all the time you become good at reading behavior and ticks. " Kayla told him. " I'm sorry Sam cheated on you, it's never a fun feeling..." She just kept hugging him hoping yo comfort him.

"I mean, what type of guy cheats on his boyfriend of almost 4 years with a highschooler...!?" He sighed.

" sadly people these days when they get bored want something new. Which I think is very sad. " Kayla told him " I dated a skirt chaser in college, cheated one my with a highschool senior. He's in jail now for molesting a 13 year old girl. "

Kyle looked at her. "I'm sorry." He said as he wrapped her into a hug and held her back.

Dalton stuck his head over the side and saw the two. He smiled gently before getting down and walked back inside. "I'll leave it to them." He said.

" it's okay. I survived it, and that really pushed me to go for my doctorates degree." Kayla told.

"Hey good for you." Kyle said as he tried to sound like his normal chipper self.

" I know you hurt right now, but in time the pain will fade and become easier to live with." Kayla spoke softly. " also you are still young with so much ahead of you. Like new adventues!"

"I don't know so much about adventures. I did plenty of shit when I was young. Was it stupid shit...yes, but it was still shit." He said gently with a huff.

" adventure doesn't have to be stupid shit. " Kayla chuckled. " I have a goal to go to all 68 national parks."

Kyle looked at her. "That's a nice adventure." He sighed gently. "Sounds like a great one. I was for a little bit of time, honestly thinking about taking my mothers offer to move out to New York as a contractor... but I can't leave my dad alone. I know he's an asshole but, He's got a soft side too. He's a real gentle soul in actuality.

" well, Dakota is still hate. And Ryker. " Kayla spoke softly. " and I'm not leaving any time soon."

"I know that but...I also know there is something wrong with him. I feel it in my gut. He's not telling me something and I'm worried." Kyle said. "And I hate New York."

" what do you mean something's wrong?" She asked.

"I don't know exactly, he's just been so...quiet as of lately." Kyle said. "Normally we'd come up here once a week or so and just sit up here and stargaze and drink beer but lately he doesn't want to."

" maybe he's busy rehabing a new animal?" She suggested.

"The only new one is the Specialty and he won't even talk to me about it." He said.

" see maybe that's the something you think is off." She suggested.

Opal propped her back against her pillow as her fingers tapped furiously away at the keyboard on her lap.

"No, that's not it. It's something else." He said as he looked down. "I'm just worried about him, he's even been skipping on meals a lot lately." He said.

" I forget to eat all the time. A few missed meals want harm him." She told him. " plus I was a starving grad student not long ago." She teased him a bit. " cheer up okay? Things will turn out okay. "

"I hope you're right because I can't keep lying to myself." Kyle said.

" Also remember you aren't alone, you don't have to carry the weight of the world by yourself." She added looking up at the night sky.

"But I can't put it on my Dad and Deka doesn't like me." He said softly. "and Ryker has it bad enough raising the four girls." He said as he laid back against the slant of the roof and looked up at the stars as well. "I'll gladly carry the weight of the world on my shoulder as long as that means that my family is safe and happy." He said.

" she's your sister so I bet she likes you in her own sort of way." She told him. " I don't plan on going any where any time soon."

"She barely knows me. As of just a few weeks ago I didn't exist to her. She's not the most social person and that worries me too." He sighed. "And it worries dad, I can tell that. When he got the news she would be coming to live with him, I thought I saw him smile for a moment before he started to cry." Kyle said gently.
