"Chloe.." My best friend, Krista, knocked on the frame of the door softly, "your phone has been going off.."
I looked up from the computer screen and reached out my hand. Krista placed my iPhone5 in my hand.
"Thank you.." I whsipered. She smiled. I knew why my phone was going off. It was Keaton, trying to get me back.
I looked down at my phone, I was right.
26 Missed Calls.
New Message from: Keaaatooon<3
I sighed. Why was he texting me? I thought I told him not to text me; I thought he realized that he messed up.
I opened the message:
I'm standing outside. Tell me if it's really over. Please, baby talk to me. I'm so sorry.
I glanced out the window. It was pouring outside. I shook my head, and scooted off the bed, I shoved my cell phone in my pocket, and pulled my Hollister hoodie over my head.
Krista raised an eyebrow as I walked passed her in the kitchen, "It's raining out.." Her voice trailed off as she looked out the window.
"I know.." I mummbled; I walked over to the front door of my apartment.. "He's out there..."
Krista looked at me in concern "Are you sure?" I knew what she was asking. Was I going to kick him out of my life, or give him a second chance? Was I sure about my decision?
My phone vibrated in my pocket. I hesistantly pulled it out, and read the second text Keaton sent to me.
I know this isnt what you wanted. I'm sorry that we lost everything we had, because of me.
I bit my lip, trying to hold back the sob that was going to come out. Keaton knew he messed up. He knows it. But I don't know if I could ever forgive him, and I sure couldn't trust him. I couldn't take it. I fell to my knees, and sobbed.
Krista rushed to my sides, and hugged me. "It's okay.." She attempted to comfort me. It didn't work.
"I don't know what to do." I sobbed into her chest. "I love him. I love him so much. But I can't forgive him."
She didn't say anything. She just sat there comforting me, telling me that everything was going to be okay, and I knew they were going to be okay. With, or without Keaton.
I wiped the tears from my eyes, and slowly stood up. I know what I'm going to do.
I don't need Keaton. I love him, but I can live without him. I'll be okay without him. I gave him more than enough chances to change, and he didn't.
I looked out the window, just in time to see Keaton turn around and walk to his car. I slowly opened the door, and stood on the porch steps. "Keaton.." I managaed to choke out.
Keaton stopped, and turned around; His usual messy hair was matted to his head from his face being wet and his face looked flushed from the raindrops that were faling.
Suddenly, I felt the tears coming back to my eyes. He walked towards me, and I wanted to run back inside, but my feet felt like they were glued to the floor.
"Chloe.." He whispered, as he took my hand.
My breath quickened. I don't want this.
I stayed silent, just staring at him. I was speechless. Tears started to start up again.
"Please...let's get back together.." His tears were camoflaged by the raindrops.
I shook my head, "Keaton.. I can't..You're just going to leave me again. I don't trust you."
"No I won't do that, I promise I won't." He begged.
I wanted to believe him. I really did, but I can't.
I won't.
"Trust me. I love you. We love each other!" He sobbed.
I couldn't trust him. I gulped, and looked at the floor, before I brought my eyes back up to his tearful ones,
"Not anymore." I lied. I do love him, but I can't forgive him.
His eyes stared at me with a grief sticken look, as he walked towards me, but I took a step back.
He continued to step towards me, and I continued to back away, before my back hit the door.
He leaned in. I realized what he was doing, and turned my head away from him, tears falling down my face. I didn't want to do this, but he hurt me way too much.
He turned my head, and cupped my face.
"Keaton.." I whispered as I tried to push him off, but he was too strong.
He kissed me, and I kissed him back. I didn't want to, but I couldn't help myself. All the emotion was there, in that one kiss.
He pulled away. "Tell me that you love me, Chloe. I know you do."
I didn't say anything. I was speechless.
"Chloe, please..." He pleaded.
I still didn't say anything.
He sighed, then turned around, giving up, and began walking towards his car.
I gulped, before whispering, "I love you." It was barley a whisper, but he heard me.
He stopped, and his back was still turned to me.
We both stood there, in silence, so only the sound of rain was audible.
He finally turned around. I let my emotions control me, and I crashed into his arms. He wrapped his arms tightly around me.
"I'm so sorry.." He whispered as he kissed the top of my head.
He kissed me again, and as he pulled away, he whispered 'I love you' in my ears, over and over again.
"Keaton...I still can't trust you.." I mummbled.
"I understand, and I'll do whatever it takes to get that trust back. I love you so much." Keaton said as he squeezed me a little tighter, and pulled me closer to him.
I closed my eyes as my head rested on his chest.
No matter how bad I wanted to let him go, I didn't. I couldn't, and I was okay with that.
Because I love Keaton Stromberg.
