Happily Never After || Sequel to Our Differences (ON HOLD)

Chapter Fifteen ~ No More Secrets

"Wow." Is all Jon says after I finish telling him everything that has happened. We sit at a small eating table near the bed in his hotel room. Outside, its raining. They sky is full of the darkened clouds that allow heavy rain to fall from them.

I hear Jon sigh. I look over and see that his hand his holding his head up.

I can tell he's upset. I mean, I yelled at him pretty harshly today, and now he finds out that his girlfriend is cheating on him. Cheating on him with the guy that I began to fall in love with.

But that love for Nick is gone now.

Jon runs a hand through his hair.

"I don't even know what to say." He says. I know he's disappointed. Disappointed in Renee. Does he still love her?

Well there's only one way to find out.

"Do you still love her?" I blurt out, immediately regretting it.

Jon doesn't seem to care about answering the question, but he does anyways. "I really don't know." He says. He folds his hands on the table and looks down at them.

"It's gonna be okay." I tell him. I place both of my hands on top of his.

"I guess it's what I deserve for almost killing you." He says, looking out the window. My eyes widen.

"Don't say that." I tell him.

"It's true, and you know it, Kathryn." He says. His eyes meet mine. I try my best not to get lost in them.

"Jon," I say. "You were in the wrong. You lost a family member that meant so much to you."

"But that didn't give me an excuse to go and hurt you like that."

We fall silent. I wait a few more seconds before I sit on his bed. I pat the spot next to me for Jon to sit down, and he does. I take his hands in mine.

"Jon, like I said before; It's gonna be okay." I assure him.

We look into each other's eyes, and the next thing you know is Jon is on top of me while we are having a full make-out session. My fingers tangled in his messy hair, pulling on it a few times.

Jon suddenly pulls back, and I untangle my fingers from the mess. Jon quickly gets off of me and looks down at the ground. I wonder; Did I do something wrong?

I sit up besides Jon. "Is something wrong?" I ask him.

"It's nothing." He replies.

"Jon," I say, placing a hand on his back. He shifts around a little bit, and I take my hand away, feeling a little embarrassed.

I sigh. "Tell me what's wrong."

Jon stays silent for a few seconds before speaking. "I shouldn't be kissing you."

And once again, I sigh. "Is this about the whole thing that happened between us?" I ask him.

"Yeah." He says, looking at me. I can tell that he's serious. I look down at the floor.

"Jon, just forget about it."

"No, Kathryn. I can't do that. I almost killed you. We can't be together ever again. No matter how much I want to, I can't be with you knowing that I almost ended your life." He says.

Tears well up in my eyes.

"Jon, lets just forget about the past."

"No. I told you no, Kathryn." He says, his voice getting louder. It scares me. "We can't be together. It will just remind me of what I put you through."

I get up off the bed and storm outside, leaving the door open behind me. I hear Jon follow me outside into the parking lot and shout my name, but I ignore him. The rain falls on me, and I know that I'm going to be soaked.

But I don't want to be here. Not in Jon's room. Not in this hotel. Away from here, actually.

But to where?

"Kathryn!" Jon shouts.

I stop walking and turn around.

"What do you want?" I ask him with a bit of an attitude. I cross my arms over my chest.

"Kathryn, I don't want you to hate me." He says. We stand inches away from each other.

"Well, it's too late for that, don't you think?" I ask him.

He sighs. "Kathryn, you know I love you, but-"

"But you don't think we should be together because you 'almost killed me.' Yeah, I get it, Jon. But it hurts, you know." I say. "I never thought I'd ever want to get back with you because of what you did. But I've had your hoodie all this time and I still wear the necklace you gave me on Christmas." I tell him.

Tears are falling down my face, but I'm positive that they blend in with the rain.

"Jon, I love you, okay? I really do. I always have and I always will. But when you say that we can't get together because of a mistake that has happened a while ago, it really-"

I am interrupted by Jon pressing his lips against mine. Immediately, I give in.

Kissing in the rain, I thought.

But that kiss only last for about a minute before Jon slowly pulls away. He looks down at me with a smile.

We're interrupted by a female who yells out my name.

We look over to the right to see April and Colby walking into the hotel. Colby holds an umbrella over his and April's heads. April motions for me to go to her.

Fuck.

I look at Jon. "I'll see you later."

"Bye." He says, winking at me.

I hurry over to April.

Here we go . . .

"Are you out of your mind?!" April asks me. We're in our room. Colby went to give us some privacy. "I can't believe I just saw you kissing him!" She yells.

"April-"

"No! I'm tired of it!" She says. Tears form in her eyes. "He almost killed you!" She yells at me.

"Yeah, I get that. Seems like that's what I hear everyday from everyone." I tell her.

"How could you be so stupid, Kathryn? How could you get back with him?!"

"I'm not with him, April!" I shout, with surprises her. "I'm just sick of being defined by one of the worst things that has happened to me!"

She crosses her arms. "What do you mean by 'one of?' "
