After that disagreement with Kay, Kyle's mood was affected thereafter.
He understood where she was coming from, truly, but it was something that he couldn't do. She couldn't quite comprehend that part.
She said she did, but by the fact that she was always trying to speak up for Patrick showed otherwise. It wasn't that Kyle was jealous that Kay chose Patrick over him, but it proved that she had that mindset.
No matter what, Kay is Patrick's daughter.
True daughter, that is.
Kyle sighed.
That part hit him the most.
For a couple of reasons.
One, the fact that Kay, who is supposed to be the one that understood him the best - did not. Two, he would always feel like he was the one outside, looking in.
He didn't quite fit in, even though he was born and raised in the Smith Household.
The feeling was perhaps similar to how an adult would feel like if they were adopted into a family.
