Title: Change of Hearts
Author: Dee
Rating: PG
Summary: Kay and Miguel spent the day together to rekindle that friendship. Nicholas is suspicious of Miguel, and Charity really doesn’t want Kay and Miguel spending time together.

**************************************
Miguel stood up to stretch his legs and walked over to a very old oak tree.
“Come here Kay!” He called to her. “Look at this.”
Kay stood and walked over to Miguel. “What is it Miguel?”
Miguel pointed to a carving in the tree. Miguel + Kay The carving said in the middle of a crooked heart.
“Oh Miguel, this is beautiful. When did you do this?”
“When I was fourteen.” Miguel said wondering what she was going to say.
“Why hadn’t you ever shown this to me. This is really sweet."
Miguel took Kay by the hand as they took a stroll around the park.
"When we were younger, I had always thought that we would be together someday. It's funny what you think of when you're young. Things seem to go differently in real life than it is in your dreams."
"What are you saying Miguel?"
"Kay you knew. You knew I liked you. You were my girl. You were my girl without me asking you to be. We just fit together like that. Our families knew it, I knew it."
"Me too Miguel." Kay said looking down.
"Then what happened?" Miguel said now facing her.
"Charity happened, that's what!" Miguel looked towards the ground, and found that they were back by the old oak tree. "Yeah that's right, Charity."
"I'm sorry Miguel. I was out of line. We grew up and grew apart. We're not kids anymore. I can't make a home run and have you hug me hoping that you would never let me go. Most of the boyish things I did growing up were to be with you. A little girl in little league? I think I started a trend. You and I taking on boys at the basket ball court. How crazy was that? I was happy the most when we were hanging out. I couldn't wait till the day we both turned sixteen, and you came to my house to ask my dad if we could go on our first official date. But that didn't happen. You never came over, and you never asked. I thought at that moment it would never happen. The feelings I had for you were not returned, and probably never were."
"That's not true Kay. I liked you more than words could say. You were my strength when I couldn't bear going to father and son picnics without a father. You stood by me and supported me in everything I did. It was you that taught me to love and appreciate the finer things in life. Remember the fallen baby bird. You cried and nursed that bird back to health when I thought it was a hopeless case. You're so caring and compassionate. I don't know many people who would do the things you do just for nature. You taught me not to liter, and that I should take care of the earth God provided for us. It was you Kay, and no one else."
"Oh Miguel." Kay managed with tears forming.
Miguel wiped Kay's tears with his fingertips. "Don't cry Kay. Don't cry. I want you to read something."
Miguel pulled an old piece of notebook paper from his back pocket and handed it to Kay.
"What is this Miguel?" Kay said taking the battered paper.
"I wrote this last summer on the last day of school."
Kay unfolded the paper and saw that it was a letter addressed to her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
June 14, 1999, Dear Kay,
It's the last day of school and I'm so excited about starting the summer. We have worked real hard in school this year and I'm really looking forward to summer vacation. But most of all I'm looking forward to spending the summer with you.
I know we aren't officially dating yet, but this time next year we will be. You have been my best friend ever since I can remember, and when we turn that magic number you will be my girlfriend.
I'm saving this letter until our first date. I will be standing with you by the old oak tree in the park, showing you our carved names within a heart. Call me a romantic if you want, but I would love to see your face when you read it. You are my soul mate Kay Bennett and no one will ever change that.
Love Forever,
Miguel Lopez Fitzgerald
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kay couldn't help crying more tears now. She has never felt this excited in her life.
"Miguel I don't know what to say. I didn't know you felt this way." More sobs came from Kay. "This is the most beautiful thing I have ever received."
Miguel took Kay by the hand and led her back to their blanket by the pond. As they sat Kay spoke first.
"I would have given anything to see this months ago. I guess it wasn't meant to be. Why with you and Charity together, and Nicholas and me, I guess this is one of life's funny twists and turns. I know how happy you and Charity are. And I respect that. I couldn't be more happy with Nicholas. He's wonderful. We laugh and have so much fun together. And we have so much in common. He was the captain of his high school swim team in Europe, and I told him we were looking for a co-captain. Coach thought it would be cute to make us co-captains of Harmony High's Swim Team. Anyway, I'm looking forward to experiencing a lot of things with Nicholas. He reminds me a lot of you Miguel. He treats me with such compassion and tenderness. I was afraid at first that I wouldn't find anyone to call my own until I met Nicholas. He's really great. I guess you feel the same way about Charity. I know how much you love her. She's really lucky. You're the best. The absolute best." Kay threw her arms around Miguel and hugged him tight. This had been a wonderful day they spent together, but she couldn't wait to see Nicholas.
They packed up everything, and headed back to Kay's house. Miguel was unexpectantly quiet on the way back. But so many thoughts clouded his mind. He wasn't so sure about his feelings for Charity anymore, and he knew he would have to talk to her about it. But what could he say. Theresa said to be honest, but I don't want to hurt her. I guess I'll come up with something, but in the mean time he thought of Kay and his love for her. Could fate turn this whole thing around, or will he miss out on a love that would last them a lifetime. Only time would tell.
When Kay and Miguel walked up to the house, Kay was about to turn the knob to walk in, but Miguel reached out his hand to stop her from turning the knob.
"What's wrong Miguel? Why can't we go inside?"
"I want to tell you something." Miguel's mind was doing flips. He wanted so bad to tell Kay that he still loved her. He wanted her to know that she would always be his first love. It wasn't Charity that he loved. Yes, he cared a lot for her, and they shared some good moments together. But he felt differently about Kay. She was his past, and his future. And with the way things went today, she became his present.
"What is it Miguel? What do you want to tell me?" Kay said looking lovingly in his eyes.
"I wanted to tell you that I... that I love..." Miguel was finding the words hard to say. His mind quickly turned to the conversation he and Theresa shared just a few hours earlier that day. The worse thing to do is to stop whatever her and Nicholas has going on. She needs to run the course of true love. Kay and Nicholas need to experience some things together just like you've done with Charity. I know you want to share your feelings with Kay, but you can't. Not now. Not now...
"Not now..."
"Miguel? Are you O.K.?"
"Oh yes, I, Kay, I just wanted to say that I loved spending the day with you. And that I hope we could do this again sometime."
"Oh silly!" Kay said hugging him very tightly. "Of course we'll have other days like this."
Miguel didn't want to let her go. This felt so good, so right. Oh Kay. He thought to himself. Miguel looked at Kay but didn't let her go. She looked up at him unaware of his feelings. He stared into her eyes, still holding a tight grip onto her waist. They stood there for a second that seemed like hours looking in each other eyes, and then Kay quickly reached up and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you again for today Miguel. This memory will go into the Miguel and Kay memory books." She laughed, turned around and went inside the house.
"Nicholas! You're here! Great! I was just about to call you."
Kay ran over to her boyfriend who was sitting on the sofa next to Charity. She sat on his lap and gave him a quick peck on the lips.
"Hi sweetie, did you have a good time today reminiscing with your friend?"
"Best Friend!" Miguel said closing the door behind him.
Charity got up and ran towards Miguel.
"Hi Miguel. Did you have a good time?"
Miguel didn't answer Charity; he kept his gaze on Nicholas very sternly.
"I'm Kay's best friend now. Your duties have been relieved. Isn't that right Kay?"
Miguel walked pass the young couple as Kay hugged Nicholas very tightly. He took the picnic basket into the kitchen with Charity following him.
“Miguel, what happened today? What did you guys do? Charity said trying not to sound jealous.
“Nothing really. We went down to the park and talked about when we were younger.”
Charity put her arm around Miguel. “What would you like to do tonight?”
“I don’t know, what do you want to do?”
“Hang out I guess.”
“We always hang out.” Miguel said walking out of the kitchen.
Outside in the living room Kay and Nicholas sat on the couch in a very sweet embrace.
Miguel looked at them really feeling jealous now.
“So, what are you guys doing this evening?” Charity asked.
Nicholas whispered something in Kay’s ear that made her giggle.
“Nicholas said he’s going to surprise me. What are you two doing tonight?”
Charity humped her shoulders and sighed.
Miguel stood there for a moment and then spoke.
“Charity I’ll see you later. I remembered that I have something to do at home. I’ll be back later.”
“O.K. Miguel. See you later.” She said looking puzzled.
“Bye Miguel and thanks for today.”
“You’re welcome Kay. I had a good time too.”
Nicholas kissed Kay on the cheek and told her that he’ll come back around six.
“Wait up Miguel, I’ll walk out with you.”
“What ever.” Miguel said under his breath.
