Amour de rodéo (Rodeo Love)

Chapter 15

*Mckala's POV*
(Two days later)

Blake saying that we need to talk has made me so nervous, I can't focus on school. He's over there laughing and carrying on like everything was all fine and dandy. Is he breaking up with me? I replay the last few months through my head loooking for anything I did. I can't find anything, but maybe he sees something that I don't.

He walks over to me after class, making my heart beat out of my chest.
He grabs my hand and intertwines my fingers with his. I guess this means that he's not breaking up with me.

"Blake what are we doing?"

"Going to our next class silly."

"Ohh yeah sorry forgot."

"You're fine, wanna skip?"

"What math, hell no."

"Ohh ok."

We walk into math a good minute before the tardy bell rings. He takes his seat, and I take mine.

"Blake you said we need to talk."

"Yeah eighth period."

"Ok, gym what a nice place to talk."

"Yeah, get there a little late though."

"Okay."

He blocked everything out, and he seemed like he was nervous. What did he have planned or what did he want to talk about.

* Blake's POV*

I hope talking to Mckala about moving in with my mom, is the right thing. I'm so nervous it'll start another fight, we've been so good the last few days that I don't want to risk it. There's this voice inside my head telling me to tell her. I've debated so many times on not telling her, but the the voice grows stonger. At this rate gym can't come fast enough I just to get all the yelling and screaming at each other over with.

I really need to be careful of what I wish for, because gym rollled around a lot faster than I had orginally thought it would. I got there right on time and had just enough time to back out of telling her. Then Kaleb walked up to me

"You telling her this period?"

"Good luck dude, you're more than likely gonna need it."

"Yeah, she might kill me."

He laughs and throws me a football, and I return the favor by throwing it back to him. Then she walks in and her eyes meet mine. I look at Kaleb and say

"Here we go."

"Good luck, hopefully she doesn't tear you up too bad."

Mckala then grabs my arm and pulls me into the hallway, going into the gym. I could tell by the expression on her face she knew something that I clearly didn't.

"What in the hell Blake, your going to move in with your mom? I thought we discussed this."

"No we never talked about this, you just told me what to do. You never asked me what I wanted and now I'm doing what I want."

"So you don't care what I think about this?"

"No not really it's not your choice to make."

"Well it's our realationship, not everything revolves around you. No matter what your dangerolsly high ego may tell you!"

Did she really just go there, this wasn't about us. She's turning something as simple as me moving in with my mom into an all out dog fight. This is what I was afraid of, the space wasn't going to tear us apart the constanst fighting is going to.

"Yes it is our realtionship I never said it wasn't! Trust me Mckala I know everything doesn't revolve around me but do you?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You know exactly what that means, I can never make any of my own choices unless they benefi in your favor!"

"Whatever, Blake when you stayed with your mom it killed me!"

"Yeah, because you're attached to me! I can't have a minute alone, I always have to be by your side!"

"Whatever Blake!" She turns around and walks off.

*Mckala's POV*

I know us talking would eventually turn into a fight, it always does. No matter how hard we both try, it always results to this. I know I'm attached to Blake always being around and that I'm not ready to let that go. I can't imagine him living less than a mile away from my dad, it's no secret how that's going to turn out. I'm waiting for the day that Blake finally has enough of my dad's bullshit and snaps on him. Tessa comes into my sight as I walk down the hallway, and the tears I've been holding out finally spill out the corners of my eyes.

"What happened?"

"We fought again, and it's all my fault I started it."

"Seriously again? What about now?"

"Him moving in with his mom, I'm not ready to let him being around all the time go."

"Mckala maybe that is what he needs, you know absense makes the heart grow fonder."

"I know but I'm afraid of him meeting someone better than me."

"Mckala if he does that I will make it my personal misson to break his face."

"Ok."

Then the bell rings signaling the end of the day, finally so I can go to practice. Then have amy take me home so I can go into my room and cry. Blake and Kaleb come out of the gym laughing and carrying on like nothing happened. Does he not care how I'm feeling? Does he not love me like he claims he does? I walk out and run to the cheer room, met by my coach. She waits until all of us are in the cheer room and makes her announcement about what our practice will be about today.

"Ok, girls I have many of you in realationships right now. So I think it's time to have an intervention about them. So Mckala you're still dating Blake right, and Tessa are you and Kaleb still together?"

We both shake our heads yes, and she signals for me to turn around. I do and Blake is standing there. I get up running over to him, wrapping my arms around is waist and I can hearl him whisper

"I'm sorry. I love you and I don't have the slightest idead why I said those things."

I look up at him, and I could see tears welling up in his blue eyes. I whisper back

"Blake I said some pretty bad things too. I love you and I promise if this is want you want we'll make it work."

"Ok."

I let go of Blake and everybody around us has tears welling up in the corners of their eyes. I look at Blake and he looks at me.

"Can I go back to practice now, since you know the coach despises me now."

"Yeah go before my dad kills you."

He runs back over to practice and we begin ours. My practice always ends earlier than Blake's, so I have the prvilege of sitting on the bleachers and watching him. I can't really tell what's going on with the team, but you can cut the tension with a knife. Then all hell breaks loose, between Blake and and this new kid Tanner. Tanner says something that effects me and Blake both, but he is the only one to act on it.

"Well maybe we'd all get quaterback,if we slept with the coaches daughter!"

I can see the anger coursing through Blake's veins, at this point I'm really hoping my dad interveenes. I'm upset and what this guy said but at the same time I'm angry. Then despite my wishes, Tanner goes to punch Blake. Blake returns this with a punch right to Tanner's lower jaw. I've never been so happy to see my dad before in my life.

My dad says something and Blake walks towards the field house, and my dad dimissis practice. About fifteen mintues later Kaleb and Blake walk out. The ride back to his grandparents was extremely slient, almost to slient.  I wanted to ask what was wrong, but then at the same time I knew he needed some space. Maybe him moving isn't such a bad idea afterall.
