MK left to go to the gym, so figured this was the perfect time to asked trevor about her, now that jack & cole went home. better ask now because the season starts soon and our schedule will get wack.

"hey z."

"sup man." he said while making himself breakfast. i hopped up on the countertop.

"whats MK's story?"

"what do you mean?"

"i dont know, i just think theres more to her than shes telling me." i said

"what do you know about her?" he asked

"that she moved to colorado at 4 from buffalo. but ive seen her sisters and you're her cousin, macy-kate has red hair and super blue eyes, you guys look nothing alike. i see her shaking her hands sometimes, i see a worried look on her face. " i explained

"those are questions for MK." he said, continuing to cook his food

"just tell me man, please."

he sighed and looked at me, "MK is adopted."

my mouth dropped open.

"she doesn't know her birth parents. her adopted parents, layton & joy, my moms sister, adopted her in buffalo. they were visiting and thinks kind of just clicked and after about a year, MK was adopted at 4. her parents changed her name when they adopted her too. her dad's family owns a ranch in colorado where they live, lazy k ranch. so shes not blood related like her sisters are to me, but shes a pretty special girl."

"so her sisters aren't adopted?" i asked

"nope." he answered. "she has anxiety, which is why you see her shaking her hands sometimes. its like a nervous tick she has."

"is that why you held her hands when the boys met her?"

"yeah. its weird but physical touch helps her, so holding her hands, hugging her, even a simple arm over her shoulder."

"got it. thanks" i said, leaving the kitchen

"get back in here."

i turned around knowing his next question before it left his mouth.

"whats going on between you and her?" he asked

i shrugged my shoulder.

"i care about her."

"and?" he pushed

"shes a cool girl."

"and?" he asked again.

"and what?" i asked

"im thinking of a four letter work james. starts with an L and ends with O-V-E."

"thats a big word." i said

"came sit, let me tell you some more about her."

i sat back on the countertop, "her anxiety has been a struggle for her for years. she didn't want to go to college. she gets anxiety driving, in loud places, storms, and she gets super nervous meeting new people and going to new places. which is why i immediately jumped to have her stay here with us. because i know you didnt like the idea at first but you seem to like her now." he smirked

"maybe."

"just dont do anything stupid kid. she means the world to us and ill do whatever i can for her." he said

"is she your favorite cousin?"

"oh yeah. were the same age and we tell eachother everything. she actually told me that she broke up with her ex before she told her mom so."
