Bad Memories

                                                       

Kayla's POV

 When we get to the diner, we don't get much to eat. I just get a hamburger which I don't even finish, whilist Nathan orders a cheeseburger and finishes it. "Something on your mind love?' Nathan asks, seeing my wondering face. "Umm, no. Why?" I ask. "Well, you look worried about something." Nathan said. "Oh it's nothing. Just memories from this diner." I say, looking around. "Good or bad?" Nathan asks, taking my hand. "Both." I answer flatly. "Wanna tell me?" Nathan asked. "Well, there are good memories from this place because me and my parents used to come here all the time. Every time we came in here, everyone knew our names. These people, thought of us as family." I said, feeling a tear coming on. "Bad memories because my dad died in that very parking lot." I say, pointing out the door. "He died because of me. I was about 4 and I wasn't looking where I was going and I walked straight into the parking lot. A car came flying towards me and my dad at huge speeds, and well, he jumped in front of me and I rolled over to the side of the lot. As for him, well...he didn't make it." I say, crying. "My mom, she had a stroke 15 minutes later. and she died on the spot." I said. "It's my fault Nathan. My fault!" I say, now bawling my eyes out. "Kayla, look at me. It is most certainly NOT your fault. You were just a little girl. You didn't know any better." Nathan said, wiping my eyes. "But I can't help feeling it's my fault." I say through muffled tears. Nathan brought my head up and said, "Listen to me Kayla. It is not your fault. And we both know that." Nathan said with a stern but worried look. "Thank you Nathan." I said, sniffling. "Now come on, lets go." He said, holding his hand out. We left, and for the first time, the car ride back to the flat was silence.

Nathan's POV

 I had no idea that Kayla had that past. That the first time she's broken down in front of me. The ride back to the flat was filled with silence. When we got back, Kayla went to Jay's room to talk to Mariah. Possibly about jay, I don't know. When i went to my room, Jay came in to talk with me.

Jay's POV

 Finally Nathan and Kayla are home, i need to talk with Nathan. "Knock knock mate." I say, walking in. "Hey Jay." Nathan said. "What's up?" I ask casually. "Mate is this about Mariah?" Nathan asks. "Yes it is. I've been thinking about how i was going to ask her out." I said. "Great! But what do you need me for?" Nathan said, laughing. "I need some help on how to ask her, so she doesn't know it's a date." I said. "Okay well, just ask her if she wants to hang out, and if she says yes, ask her where. And you go." Nathan said. I nodded and turned to go.

Mariah's POV

 "Hey, Kayla what brings you in here?" I ask. "I am going to ask Jay if he likes you. If he says yes, me and Nathan can hook you guys up." Kayla says, whispering. "Great! But I recommend it be early." I say. "Shut up and let me hook you up." Kayla says with a laugh. "Okay okay I won't question."  "Good." Kayla says, leaving the room.

Kayla's POV

 "We are so hooking them up." I say walking into Nathan's room. "Well duh! What kind of friends would we be if we didn't?" Nathan said playfully. "We would be awful people!!" I say, making a fake-scene. "Yes we would!" Nathan said with a laugh. "I told Mariah I was gonna ask Jay if he liked her." I said. Nathan looked at me with astonishment. "Wow, nice!" He said. "I just gave Jay some advice." Nathan said. "Cool." I said. I walk into the bathroom to put my hair up into a pigtail, when suddenly Nathan comes up behind me. He puts his arms around me and we just look at each other. "You know your beautiful right?" He asked me, kissing my head. "Yes, do you know your the best thing that's ever happened to me?" I asked. "Yes." Nathan said, "Now just one more question love." Nathan said, "Yeah?" I turned to him. "Do you know...that I'm the TICKLE MONSTER!?!" He said, tickling my waist. "Ahhh!!! Nathan cut it out!!" I barely got out. "Never!!" He said. Pretty soon we were on the bed and he was on top of me tickling the life out of me. "Nath stop I can't breathe!!" I say laughing. "Okay fine you got me." He said, getting up off of me. "BREAK OVER!!" He yells, falling on me. Pretty soon we're kissing and making out. When we break away, we both find Max and Jay at the door. "How long have you been there?" I ask, feeling my cheeks blushing. "Oh we got here right around the time you started MAKING OUT." Max said. I look over to find Jay laughing his arse of. "Honestly boys, you just had to look didn't you?" Nathan said, "Pretty much." Jay said, still laughing. "Crazy boys." I said, push through the doorway. "You guys are crazy." I heard Nathan say. "We couldn't help it!" Max said, and they left the door.
