MADISON

A Breaking Heart.

I'm sure kade never meant to leave me with a broken heart but he did just that... left me standing here with a broken heart.

your best friend going off to join the marines is sad enough in itself but when your also in love with him and he doesn't even know it, it's heart breaking. 

my best friend in the whole world... Kaden Madison left me standing at the base with a huge bear hug and a kiss on the cheek 2 months ago and i miss him more than i ever imagined i ever would.

"i'll write you the first chance i get bailey" he smiled kissing my cheek

"you better kade" i said closing my eyes behind my big dark glasses

"i will. you take care of yourself bailey, i love you, mom, hayley, jackson take care of my girl here" kade told me, my best friend/his sister and jackson his older brother

"we will, she'll be safe and sound sitting here when you come home" hayley smiled hugging her brother

we all said our goodbyes and i kept silently crying, the 3 hour drive home hayley rode with their mom and i rode with jack and listened to heart break songs with my head phones and looked at the million pictures i've took over the past 2 years of me and kade, some of just kade himself.

half an hour into the drive jackson looked over at me in the seat beside him as he drove.

"you alright over there bail, you havent said anything since we left?" he asked

"yeah I'm okay" I said, doing my best to keep it together

"you sure?" he asked

"just peachy" I did my best to give a brave smile

"you don't always have to be so strong bails, I know your hurting.."

"how'd you know?" I asked pulling my sunglasses up on top of my head and wiping the tears betraying me and escaping my eyes

"bailey I see the way you look at him, I know your in love with him" he said gently

"why can't he see it?" I asked wiping my eyes

"bails.. he does see it. he knows your in love with him... hes just as in love with you as you are with him.. thats why he called you his girl back there"

"Kade madison is in love with me?" I asked not believing what I just heard come from his mouth

"kade madison is in love with you. I wasn't suppose to tell you, he planned to do it when he took his first leave and came home but I would want someone to tell me if I was hurting like you so I did what he asked me to, I took care of his girl" he said looking over at me with a tender look

"he really loves me?" I asked again with a growing smile on my face at the thought of Kaden James Madison actually loving me.

"he adores the ground you walk on. bailey you should see the pictures he has on his phone that he's taken of you when you weren't looking"

"like the ones I've taken of him" i mumbled softly to myself

"the two of you are so in love with each other that you haven't even noticed how crazy you are about each other" he laughed

"i hate so much to admit this because I feel like it makes me sound weak but I've been in love with him since I first met him" I said remembering the night we met and how we met

"it doesn't make you weak bailey, it makes you strong. kade fell in love with you before he even got out of the car that night, I could tell by the look on his face the next morning when he told me what happened" he explained as he got off the interstate

"what happened that night was all his fault by the way" I laughed as he started down a back road

"it doesn't surprise me, that was before he got to be a good driver, back then Haley was a better driver then he was" he laughed

"why was he such a horrible driver?" I laughed thinking of how he backed into me at the concert in the empty parking lot

"he was reckless and stupid. after that night though.. he learned. I guess it was because he actually hurt you that night. broke your leg then he offered to take care of you.. you were the best thing that ever happened to him"

"he did a really good job of taking care of me too, even though he didn't have to take care of me at all" I smiled over at him

"you were worth the work he put into you... if it hadn't been for you he would likely still be the reckless and stupid idiot he was back then"

"i don't know about that but" I laughed feeling better

"well I do. I understand why he fell in love with you so fast" he chuckled he mumbled the last part to himself

we laughed and joked and laughed the rest of the drive back after stopping at one of my favorite places to eat, a classic drive in, the way he pulls into a stall I don't know why I ever agree to let him drive my Camero back

"get whatever you want, I'm not tight like my brother" he winked

"thanks jack, I'll have the double apollo burger with cheese, mayo and bacon, medium order of frys and a large coke"

"now that's the bailey kinkade I know" he smiled and ordered for us, including a double chocolate caramel milkshake

"you know me pretty well to know I love double chocolate caramel shakes" I smiled my best smile

"I know you better than you think" he chuckled

"is that a good thing or a bad thing" I chuckled

"well it could be both" he laughed and our food came,

"should we tell your mom and Hayley that we stopped?" I asked with a huge bite of

burger n my mouth

"there is nothing lady like about you and I texted mom a minute ago and told her we were taking a back way home and that we had stopped to eat and we're be home sometime later" he laughed

"never said there was madison, after all I do hang out with guys all the time" I pointed out doing my best to hide a laugh

"that's the Bailey Kinkade I know! Sassy and isnt afraid to eat like a guy" he shook his head laughing

I waited for months for Kade to come home and break it to me that he was in love with me just as I was with him but the months kept piling up then he finally came home... but he didn't come home alone, he came home with a girlfriend, MaKayla. rather than coming home to tell me he loved me... he came home to tell everyone that he met someone... and that someone wasn't me.

the night he came home his mom invited me over to dinner because she knew he would want me there.. she was right he did.. he walked right in and gave me a massive bear hug and kissed my cheek before he turned around and introduced me to MaKayla... I had never been so hurt in all my life, I held in the tears until I headed out that night.

I hugged him goodbye at the door and the moment I heard the door shut my tears fell, then I heard the door open-and-shut. I sighed thinking I'd have to make up some lie to explain why I was in tears leaving his house for the first time ever but when I turned around I was greeted by jackson with open arms..

he wrapped his arms around me and I buried my face in his chest crying.

"we should get out of here before he notices and you have to explain what's going on" he said holding his hand out for my car keys knowing I couldn't drive.

I gave him the keys and he put me in the car and we left his parents house.

he drove me out to a hill top and we got out and sat on my hood
