Chapter 2

Hailey’s POV

Song for this chapter:

This Love - Taylor Swift

“I’m sorry. Could you repeat that again?”

“I told Kelly that you’re coming with me she got overly excited so she invited everyone over so we could hang out.” Naomi repeats tiredly. I chuckled nervously now I think I’m not that ready to face Kevin.

“What do you mean everyone?”

I haven’t seen my friends for 3 weeks and now they’re going to start pestering me with questions about Kevin that I don’t even know the answers myself.

“Sean and Kelly, Shiela and Logan, Cole, Katie, Evan, Mason” she scrunched up her nose thinking “Evan and Curt are busy I think they have a meeting to attend to. Raph took Zoe to Emily’s house turns out Emily has a younger cousin named Alfie he’s a year older than Zoe. So yeah that’s about everyone.”

I made a face “I still can’t believe William and Rebecca let Ethan and Curt run their company. I mean its Ethan and Curt!” I burst out those two are the most childish person I know. They’re the masters of pranks for Pete’s sake!

Naomi nodded in agreement. “One month.” She said with a smug smile.

“What do you mean one month?”

“One month till they get in trouble for ruining the company.” She half joke.

We both started laughing.

Seconds later we were entering a huge gate to a mansion.

The three simple doorbell tones rang in my ears. I tugged the end of my shirt for comfort. Please don’t answer the door. Please don’t answer the door. With no luck the door swung open revealing a smirking Sean. “Hails! Naomi! C’mon the guys are in the game room.”

Naomi left me and skipped her way to the game room.

I was about to go on my way when a pair of strong arms pulled me to his chest “I missed you so much squirt” Sean murmured hugging me tightly. I haven’t seen him for almost a year. Since he and Kelly got married they became busy with their careers. Kelly’s been touring Asia as part of her world tour and Sean has been competing nonstop he’s one of the best football player in LA.

I returned his hug “I missed you too! You owe me three McDonalds meal for disappearing in such a short notice. You didn’t even say goodbye!” I pouted like a 3 year old girl. He held me in shoulder length “I knew it! You only missed me because I treat you to McDonalds! God I never felt so used in my entire life” he said dramatically clutching his chest as if hurt.

I hit him lightly. “Get over yourself”

He smiled showing his perfect set of white teeth “Same old feisty Hailey. You better get your ass up there Kelly would probably kill me for keeping you long. Now go and bond with your best friend. I’ll go get some chips and drinks now they’re all probably waiting for me or should I say the food.”

With that I made my way to the game room.

I heard the guys before I saw them. As usual they were laughing obnoxiously at something Evan said. I almost tripped when I stepped on my shoe lace that would be very embarrassing considering I was making my grand entrance.

They were all looking at the TV screen so their backs were turned to me. That’s a good thing though they haven’t seen me yet.

I got on my knees to tie my shoe lace. “Kevin, are you and Hailey doing fine because I noticed I haven’t seen you two together these past few weeks. Is there something wrong? I mean you haven’t fell out of love right?” Concern was evident on Katie’s voice.

I wanted to join them and listen to what Kevin have to say but I know if I do that I’ll never know his answer. The laughter died quickly after Katie spoke. Everyone fell silent. No body spoke a word.

My heart beats fast in anticipation. It could burst any minute now.

“I..we..well…” from where I am I could see Kevin scratch the back of his head. He signed heavily “Honestly I don’t know. We loved each other and we were so happy but I guess we were too young to know anything about love I mean I was only 15 when we first met and she was only 14!” he cried in frustration and confusion.

I covered my mouth with my hands so they wouldn’t hear me. My eyes started to water.

I heard Kelly gasp in surprise nobody in the room expected this “What do you mean Kev?” Kelly tried to hide her anger.

“Hailey wants me to be like my brothers. Like Sean! I can’t. I will never be as good as my brothers. Trouble is written all over me. I tried. I tried to make her happy but she deserves more than what I can offer….” His voice broke “I thought about this for a long time I…I’m breaking up with her.”

My vision became blurry. I felt the first tear on my right cheek then follows another then another then another until I lost count of the tears that my eyes releases. I saw my world collapse every time I blink. I can’t believe it.

My heart is shattered to million pieces.

“Hey Hails what are you doing there?” Sean asked behind me holding a bunch of chips and sodas looking confuse as ever.

I wiped my tears before he notice I’m crying. Standing up, I kept my head down.

I heard them gasp.

“No…” Shiela and Kelly whispered surprised but I heard them as clear as the day.

“Okay guys… what happened? Why is Hailey crying?” Sean started to walk toward me. I didn’t want them to see me breakdown so I ran out the mansion.

Naomi has the car key so I can’t use the car to escape. I ran to the gates but someone grabbed me by my arm. “Hailey” Kevin called out of breath.

I yanked my arm away from him but he wouldn’t let go

“Let go of me!” I yelled at him.

He let go of me taken back of my sudden outburst.

I hit his chest again and again “How could you? How could you do this to me? I thought you love me? huh? I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!” I hit him as hard as I can I know it will leave a bruise but I don’t care all I can see is red.

“I’m sorry..” He whispered with guilt. He took my hands then pulled me towards his body. “I’m so sorry.. Hails” he hugged me tightly.

I never felt so weak in my entire life. My mind is buzzing with so many thoughts. My heart took it the hardest. It will never be the same again.

“Stop please stop” I begged. I don’t want to hear that shit.

“Shhhh don’t cry. You deserve so much better. You can do better than this. Princess I love you but I’m letting you go…” he kissed my forehead then released me from his embrace.

His eyes were as red as mine. I’ve never seen him cry before it breaks my heart looking at him like this.

“Why? If you love me why?” my voice break every time I speak.

He looked defeated almost like he wanted to take back what he said then it changed he look at me blankly.

“Someday you’ll understand. And maybe someday we could start it all over again.” Those were his last words. He turned around then walked back to the mansion. But before he gets out of reach I said what I had to say.

“You’re the first person who broke my heart. For the rest of my life, you will always be the one who hurt me the most. But my love for you will never die. Don’t forget that.”

I know he heard me I saw him stop on his tracks but he continued to walk out of my life just like that.
