Title: "Donut"
Author: Sarah (apestaartje)
Pairing: Not really a pairing. The Kane family. With visits by Logan and Veronica.
Spoilers: None, maybe season one.
Rating: PG I think.
Summary: Duncan used to be called Donut. I suck at summaries
Word Count: 600.
Note: I had meant it to be happy but it turned all sad. Sorry. I've also never written anything in the second person before so I don't know why I did that this time.
The first time your big sister called you Donut you were only little. Your parents had taken the two of you for donuts and Lilly had thought the place was named after you. You thought it was funny and you giggled as she called you by your new name. It only lasted a few weeks, maybe a month, you can't really be sure. After all, you were only three. Your parents called it a phase. Lilly would grow out of it and stop calling your Donut. You secretly hoped she wouldn't. But she did. It made you sad.
It was years later when she called you Donut again. You must've been about 11 and you'd made friends with Logan and Lilly had made friends with Veronica and you were in that period of your life where hanging out with your sister just wasn't cool. Your big sister would laugh and giggle with her new friend. She'd look to you and and then turn to Veronica and whisper something. Then they'd both laugh and Lilly would call you Donut. Logan would turn his eyes and mutter "girls", like he knew everything about them.
But you didn't mind.
You knew she wasn't being hurtful or mocking you in any way. You knew because she had that smile on her face and that sparkle in her eyes she had all those years ago when she called you Donut. You'd missed it. It made you happy.
Over the years you dated Veronica and your sister dated Logan. It became cool to hang out with your sister again. She would call you Donut. Usually when she was annoyed with you but you didn't mind. You knew that, one day, you would look back and remember these days as the happiest days of your life. You just never realised that one day would come so soon and that those happy days would be over.
No more giggles and no more sparkles. No more happy days and definitely no Donut. Your friends dissapeared and it could never be the same again.
Your parents changed after Lilly died. Everything became harder. Reality had turned into a rock and a hard place and you were stuck in the middle. You would never be called Donut again in the same way Lilly had called you by that name.
Your father buried his head in work. He went along and blamed people for your sister's death. He got blamed for your sister's death. He didn't bring any donuts home anymore.
Your mother changed. She wanted you to stay the same. She made you take pills and you knew they didn't keep you the same. They changed you but you didn't mind so much. It made your mother happy and that made you happy. At least you though it did.
Sometimes your parents would call you Donut. It didn't happen often and it was never with the same sparkle and giggle Lilly did it. They called you Donut when they were angry with you. When you were little it was for spilling your chocolate milk. When you were older there was that one time when you'd had an accident with the car. You'd only scratched it but your father called you Donut. It had made you more upset than the angry speech you thought you would've received for it.
After Lilly died they didn't call you Donut again. Except for that one time. You were daydreaming and you could've sworn you heard her voice calling you. You turned around and saw your parents standing there.
"Hey, Donut", they said again.
You didn't answer. You walked away. Donut wasn't here anymore.
