Nothing [K.O.]

Chapter 7

We're in the car and I'm facing the window so that Daniel won't see me crying. I never thought something as simple as this could cause me so much pain. I feel so betrayed and stupid for thinking that a guy like Kevin could even be interested in a girl like me.

"Do you want to talk about whatever it is that upset you?" Daniel interrupts my thoughts by asking.

I sniffle a bit and say, "I don't want to feel anymore stupid than I already do by telling you."

"Well whenever you're ready to talk about it I'm here ok?"

"Thanks." I tell him while giving him a small smile.

I hadn't realized how handsome Daniel was until now. I guess being with Kevin those short minutes really took my attention away from other things.

"What happened between you and Jasmine." I say while looking up to him.

"What's your address?" He tries to change the subject on me.

"I already told you it before getting in the car." I say while laughing a bit at him.

"Why can't you tell me?" I ask him again.

"For the same reason that you can't tell me what made you cry. If I tell you I'll feel stupid."

He made a good point there.

"If I tell you why I cried will you tell me what happened between you and Jasmine?" I sigh while trying to compromise with him.

He thinks a bit before turning to look and me and nodding his head yes.

"Ok well I got here with some friends then one of them tried to kiss me and as if out of nowhere Kevin popped up and was angry for some unapparent reason. He led me outside and we kissed but it was my first kiss so it was pretty special for me." I tell him and take a deep breathe before telling him the rest.

"Then after you left to get a drink we went to the front porch and he told me he was going to get me a drink and he took too long so I went in to look for him and I saw him kissing Jasmine." I tell him while looking down at my hands on my lap.

My eyes began to get watery and a single tear fell down my cheek.

"I'm so sorry about that." Daniel tells me while reaching over to my lap to hold my hand.

It's such a sweet gesture that I think nothing of it other than him trying to comfort me.

"Jasmine is such a bitch she does the same thing to every girl in school. You shouldn't even worry about her." He sincerely tells me while giving my hand a tight squeeze.

"So what happened between you guys?" I ask him as he removes his hand from mine.

He takes a deep sigh and turn his attention to the road.

"Basically the same thing she did to you."

"Are you serious?" I ask him in shock.

"I had a girlfriend of 3 years and we went to a party that Jasmine was hosting and I was a little drunk and I wasn't thinking straight." He tells me with a disappointed face.

"Kim and I were sitting on the couch and I left to get a drink, then Jasmine came up to me and was all over me. I tried to push her away but she was so persistent. She kissed me at the same moment that Kimberly walked in." His voice breaks a little as he tell me.

"I'm so sorry." I say in a whispered tone.

"I loved Kim so much and I was positive that she was gonna be the girl I would marry, the girl that I would have kids with, the girl that I would grow old with." He sheds a tear as he tell me this.

I hadn't realized that the car came to a stop. I look out the window and we were parked in front of my house.

"She broke up with me that same night and I thought that I could win her over but I didn't. I lost her and it's been almost a year since we broke up. She's dating this guy and they've been together for 3 months." He tells me while crying.

It's so heartbreaking to see Daniel like this even if I just met him today. Nobody deserves this kind of pain.

"Did you explain to her what had actually happened?" I ask him but soon regret it.

"Of course I did!" He yells at me.

"I told her a million times that I was drunk and that she threw herself at me but she didn't care. I hurt her more than I could ever imagine and I lost her because of my stupidity." He cries.

"If I wouldn't have gotten so drunk that night I would have been able to push Jasmine away or walk away but I wasn't thinking straight you know?" He asks me.

I nod my head and my anger for Jasmine is growing.

"But it happened and there's no going back. I just have to move on and accept it. You know this was the first party I attend since Kim broke up with me?"

Oh wow.

"And it's kind of stupid since it's Jasmines party." He tell me while laughing a bit.

"Yeah it is." I tell him.

"Thank you."

"For what?" I ask him.

"For listening to me and for not judging me."

"Well I understand how Kimberly felt and I'm not defending you but I understand how you must feel too." I tell him.

"But anyways I'm moving past that chapter in my life and I hope you listen to Kevin's side of the story." He tells me.

I laugh at his request.

"I'm serious!" He tells me.

"I'll think about it and thanks for the ride." I tell him while opening the car door and stepping out.

"No problem and if you ever need me don't hesitate to ask." He tells me before pulling out of my drive way and leaving.

This has been such a crazy night and I can't wait to get in bed and sleep.

I successfully sneak back in to my room and change into something more comfortable. As I begin to take my makeup off my phone starts vibrating. I check to see who it is and its Gabriel.

I decide to answer, "Hello"

"Hey where are you?" He asks.

"I left."

"What? Why? With who!"He tells me by screaming over the loud music.

"Can we talk about this tomorrow I just want to sleep?" I ask him.

"Yeah I guess. Goodnight Victoria."

I hang up without saying another word. I don't have the energy to be explaining myself to Gabriel. At the moment I feel pretty mad at him because if he wouldn't have tried to kiss me then Kevin wouldn't have bothered me and none of this would have happened.

Another buzzing interrupts my thoughts. It's a text message from an unknown number.

The text is asking where I went. I already know it's Kevin so I just decide to ignore the message and lay in bed.

As I try to fall asleep my phone won't stop buzzing so I decide to just shut it off for the night.

If he really would have cared he wouldn't have kissed that skank.

A/N I'm debating on whether or not to include some Spanish in the story. What do you guys think?
