Just Friends

Chapter 5: The Next Day

"Hey, wakey wakey!" I fluttered my eyes to see Kellin hovering over my bed amusingly eager. On any other occasion I would have been delighted to see him when I woke but after everything that happened last night I wasn't in the mood to speak to him, not even look at him. So I rolled back over without a word and closed my eyes. "Turtle," Kellin started to shake me, "come on get up. I really want to talk."

"Just leave me alone, Kells. It's not a good day for you to be here." I burrowed my face in my pillow but Kellin wasn't going to give up. He tried to pull me up. Then he tried to steal my covers. Finally he just flipped over me and laid on my bed.

"That's better now we can talk and I'm comfortable." Kellin laughed. I wanted to join him but as he laid there face to face with me I felt my cheeks get hot again. His hand rest easily on my leg and his beautiful eyes sparkled. I knew this feeling all to well, because I've felt it for years. I was always good at hiding how I felt about Kellin, even to myself but sometimes I just couldn't lie to myself. That's why last night when he drunkenly called me cute and then licked my cheek I got that same warmth in my cheeks. Of course I played it off to Vic that I was embarrassed of how stupid he was acting, but all I wanted was for Kellin to grab me and through me on that bed, even after the Christa thing.

"Why you didn't get comfortable enough last night." I muttered.

Kellin frowned. "I was really really drunk Turtle."

"Oh okay that makes up for everything." I scoffed.

"I know it was wrong, but if I would have been in the right mind I wouldn't have done this."

"But you still did do it Kellin!" I was so angry but my body didn't let me move from my bed.

"I'm sorry, I never ever wanted to make you hate me. . ."

"I don't hate you. I hate what you did. And I hate that it was Christa." Even the way her name spat out of my mouth made me sick.

"I know the history that you and Christa had. But I want you to know that she has changed."

"Did you figure that out before or after you guys took your clothes off?"

"First of all I know you think that we had sex but I swear on my life we didn't Cheyenne," when Kellin used my real name I knew that he was serious, "and secondly I talk to her this morning and she apologized for what happened."

I stared at Kellin in admiration. For the most part I was a trusting person but once you did the unthinkable I couldn't find it in my heart to forgive you, but Kellin was so kindly blind that he trusted everyone. "Kells, I am sorry but you have to understand that seeing you with Christa in bed last night was horrible."

"I know it was shocking but was it really horrible?"

"Yes but because I," I wanted to scream that I loved him and that it kills me that he would choose Christa over me but I finished with, "I know Dannie would hate you for it."

He paused as if he knew I was gonna say something but decided against it. "Does Dannie know?"

As if from magic Dannie walked into my room. She stared at Kellin and I, and devilishly grinned, her eyebrow raised in amusement. "Do I know what exactly?" I took another look around at how Kellin's and my body were placed on the bed. I was wearing a T shirt and shorts and Kellin's hand went from my knee to my thigh as I stared. Then I looked back at Dannie who's smile was growing every second. I didn't want Dannie to get the wrong idea so I reluctantly sat up making Kellin do the same.

"About last night?" I inquired.

"Oh you mean that Kellin fucked Christa? Yeah I know that, and I can say that Kellin I hope it doesn't burn that bad when you piss."
