Kenzie's POV

"Oh my god...James what are you doing here?" I questioned

"I came to see you, but I can leave if you were in the middle of something"He said turning on his heel and pointing to the open doorway.

"Um can we talk alone for a minute?"I asked looking at Calum with wide eyes. He nodded at me with agreement and rolled over off the bed grabbing his shirt pulling it over his head. He walked out of the doorway closing the door behind him. Me and James were left in the room all alone, the walls were closing in and the air was getting thick. I could feel a tear rolling down my face and he came and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned forward pressing a kiss to my lips I instantly pushed him away, leaving a suprised look on his face.

"James, this isn't right, you broke it off don't you remember?" I mumbled

"Yeah I remember making a big mistake...and I want you back." He said while grabbing my wrists.

"I kinda meet someone who has helped me, get over you. Look yeah at first all I wanted was to head back to Ste. Rose and sitby your hospital bed. Calum helped me, he makes me happy, he makes me feel safe and like I am the only girl in the world. I didn't feel that way with you and that feeling is new and exciting to me. I just can't let that go, but I really want to be friends with you." I rambled

"No! Look Kenzie I don't just want to be friends with you I want you as a girlfriend.I want you now, look I am alive and I am healthy. I got a surgery to take the cancer out and it worked, I am cancer free."He said clearly frusterated.

"James that is great, but I have something with Calum and I don't want to loose that. Trust me I am beyond happy that you are cancer free,but. I still want to be there for you, not as a girlfriend, as a friend." I said as he got off the bed now extremly angry. He was so mad he spit as he talked.

"I can't just be friends with you I am still head over heels in love with you!!! You need to choose loose me and get him, or loose him and get me back!" He said while walking out the door to the small bedroom. I could feel the tears pouring down my face and I looked up seeing Calum, Ashton, Jade, Maddi and Luke standing at the door. Jade and Maddi ran into to bedroom and sat beside me to comfort me. Calum walked out of the doorway angry fists clenched at his sides.

"How dare he make her pick!" He said walking outside to where James standing. James stood up putting his hands up in the air surrendering.

"Dude back off, she needs to choose she can't just dangle both of us by a thread. We are not her little puppets. She told me  that she still has feelings for both of us and she was going to have to choose any way. I just narrowed it down for her." He said stretching the truth. Calum walked inside walking right past Ashton and Luke in the doorway.

"Calum just calm down. I don't need to even think about it, I already chose you. I knew my answer before he finnished asking me it. Just calm down." I said holding him by the shoulders and looking into his wild eyes.

"I just have one question for you...do you still have feelings for him, on any level?" He said a little more calm.

"Calum what does this matter you know how I feel." I said avoiding the question.

"Answer the question!Do you still have feelings for him?" He asked raising his voice

"No Calum I love you!" I didn't realize how loud I said that until Jade and Maddi both stared at me wide eyes. I broke free from his grip on my shoulders and stormed out of the door tears now rapidly falling from my face. When I got outside there was a note tapped to the front steps reading:

I know that you choose him, I am truely sorry for making you choose

-JAMESI dropped the note and my head fell into my hands letting tears fall onto my lap. I heard the door open and out came Micheal and Rebeka. They sat on the step up close beside me Rebeka rubbing my back and attempting to comfort me. Nothing could I don't know exactly why I was upset, but there was a valid reason.I couldn't think straight, my mind was almost completely blank. Does a person really have the power to do that to you.

"You okay, I heard the arrgument." He stated

"Yeah I am fine to be honest I know that there is a valid reason why I am upset, but when I am around him my mind goes blank and my head starts to spin." I said looking up at Micheal standing in front of me.

"Do you mind if I talk to her for a second alone?" Rebeka asked. Micheal returned into the house and Rebeka stood up putting her hand into mine and pulling me to my feet. She looked at me straight in the eye and talked with a blank face.

"Kenzie if he has the power to do that to you, you aren't just in love with him you are head over heels for him." Rebeka said breaking up her words.

"I know but I can't stop it or slow it sown. It's scary especially if he doesn't feel the same way" I explained

"Oh trust me he does he just doesn't have the balls to admit it." Rebeka said making me giggle. I heard the screen door creak open and Rebeka left back into the house. When I turned around Calum was standing on the step arms at his sides,blank face,eyes staring into mine. I walked up closer to him and he wrapped his arms around me pulling me tight to his body. I burried my face in his shirt, as he placed his chin on my head. We stood there 5 minutes until somebody started to talk.

"Hey so about what you said...shit this is alot harder than I thought it would be. The way I feel about you is un decided because when you touch me or look into my eyes my mind goes blank and the room starts to spin." Calum said while looking into my eyes. He kissed me on the fore head and we went inside to face our friends. When we walked inside Maddi, Jade, Ashton and Luke weresitting in the living room watching a movie. Me and Calum joined them and we snuggled up on the couch my head resting on his chest as we watched the long movie.

Calum's POV

After Kenzie stormed outside.

I ran my fingers through my hair and sat down the couch suprised as hell. One minute she hates me and then the next she says that she loves. To be honest I think I feel the same I am just scared to say it. I can't imagine what it would be like if I hadn't meet her, she changed the way I looked at things. I just I couldn't tell her I loved her because I would freak her out I have only known her for like 4 days. I had to tell her so I got up off the couch and I tried to walk to the door but I turned around to see Jade and Maddi holding my wrists.

"Calum just let Rebeka and Michael talk to her she is really upset right now just wait until she cools off a bit." Maddi begged

"No I don't care I am going out there and I am going to make things right between us." Calum said quietly...I was going to make things right, I was going to tell her how I feel
