Unexpected

Chapter 23

“You really think I would funny business with Cedes?” Emery asks in disbelief as he narrows his eyes at Cade. 

Cade shrugs. “I did see her in your bed,” he snaps. 

“Look we did nothing, okay? She was scared so I let her stay with me, what was I suppose to do? Kick her out?” Emery challenges. 

Cade sighs. “All I’m saying is what if that was Noah walking in on you two, not me.” 

I slam my cup on the counter. “It wasn’t so drop it, now not another word! Cade get ready for school!” I exclaim then walk up the stairs with my crutches. I grab some sweats and Noah’s sweatshirt out of my dresser and put them on, then put my hair into a messy bun. As I wasn’t in the mood to put on my prosthetic leg on this morning, I walk back down the stairs, and hand Cade my keys then walk out to my jeep. 

It was a quiet ride to school and once Cade parked my jeep in the parking lot I immediately went to my locker then went straight to my class after. I really didn’t want to deal with anyone today, Noah and Emery were suspended for a week and I didn’t want to talk to the guys. 

I guess I was just pissed at Cade that he had over reacted about Emery and I. All Emery was doing was being a good friend and trying to comfort me, not trying to make a move on me. And it pissed me off that Emery took the blame for it. ‘She was scared and I told her to come in my room’ I asked Emery if I could stay the night with him. Cade should’ve been pissed at me then at anyone else. But its not even like Emery and I did anything! Ugh, Cade… I needed to go back home. 

As I told the teacher I was being dismissed she nodded and let me go, I walked up to the office and signed myself out, then walked out to my car. I sent a quick message to Cade telling him to get a ride from one of the guys and I was visiting Noah. I sigh when I have to use my lifted breaks as I obviously couldn’t reach the pedal. After driving the ten minutes to Noah’s house, I walk up to his door, and knock on it. Waiting patiently for Noah to answer the door. 

“Hold on!” I hear Noah’s voice muffle through the door and soon enough he’s opening the door. When I see him, I fall into his arm and burst into tears. 

Okay, so I guess these were mixed emotion tears. 

Sad tears for how I felt like I cheated on Noah when Emery kissed me and I never told him. I never told my boyfriend that someone else kissed me. I felt like a failure of a girlfriend, I had failed Noah. Even though I’ve been there for him I feel like I haven’t. My minds been everywhere and I don’t think Noah’s been getting my 100% attention. 

Frustration tears that Emery’s been doing these things to me. One minute I want to jump his throat and the next I just wanna cuddle up with him and watch a movie. Frustration of that Emery might move away in a couple more months back to Nevada, where his home is. Where he belongs. 

Another set of tears were for reality. Reality was hitting me in the face and I’m realizing that Emery doesn’t belong here, he belongs with people he’s grown up with, not with people he knew when he was young. Emery deserves to be happy and if he’s happy going back to Nevada then I’m just going to have to show that I don’t care. I’m going to have to show Emery that I’m happy he’s going back home. 

And lastly confusion. I’m so confused whether or not I like Emery more then a friend or not. I mean I get butterflies when I’m around him and that kiss, that quick kiss. If it was with anyone else I wouldn’t be thinking about it as much as I do. Hell, I wouldn’t have liked the kiss. The kiss just gave me a rush of excitement and a rebellious feeling that I enjoyed. And the butterflies…
