For the love of you

Caylee's POV

I'm still in shock that my best friend asked me to be his girlfriend. I didn't want him to leave, because we were finally a couple, but the doctor ordered that I get some rest.

"I'll come back as soon as I can Caycay." He kisses my cheek. Why couldn't he kiss me on the lips? But maybe it was too soon for that, or maybe it wasn't. Oh well I can wait a bit. My eyelids grow heavier and heavier washing darkness over me once again.

I wake up to shoes shuffling around the floor of the room. A boy about a year older, buff as ever was walking back and forth around the foot of the bed. In his hands he held a bouquet of flowers while in the other hand he was running through his hair like he was nervous.

"And you are?" I call out, making him stop and turn to look at me.

"You seriously don't know who I am baby?" He frowns. Why did he call me baby?

"No." He frowns and comes closer to me.

" You've got to remember your own boyfriend babe." I look at him with confusion. Why did this guy think we were dating?

"My boyfriend isn't here. That's why I don't recognize you. You aren't my boyfriend." He comes over to me and sits. Then he does the unthinkable. He comes closer to me and kisses me. What was this guy thinking?

Instantly memories pour into my head. All the sweet memories of Parker came into view, but then the last memory came into view. It was the video my sister had shown me before the crash. "Get off of me Parker!" I scream. That idiot, he thinks he could get out of this mess.

"But baby-"

"No Parker, all these memories are flooding back in and the last memory just happened to be the video Millie showed me. You kissed my sister for crying out loud! We're done, get out!"

"We told you to get the hell out of here Parker." My brothers came into view. Blake being the one talking. "It looks to me that my sister wants you out too. So get out before we call security." Parker didn't hesitate at all, he walked out leaving the flowers he brought behind.

I started crying. One because my boyfriend or ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my sister, and second I thought that I had cheated on Kendell. The kiss didn't mean anything, I wanted to punch him but I couldn't move anything.

"Caylee what's wrong?" Steven asks coming to hold my hand.

"Kendell and I got together today,but he had to leave so I could get some rest. Then Parker showed up and I didn't remember him, so he kissed me. Memories came in and I remember the video and I wanted to punch him. I didn't want to kiss him."

"Well first of all,congrats we knew you guys would get together soon. Second, you didn't cheat on Kendell. If it makes you feel better I'll talk to Kendell to tell him the situation. Third of all we'll take care of Parker." He smiles. I have the best brothers in the world.

"Yeah, Cay. I wouldn't be too worried. Kendell would understand." Blake chimes in. I smile at my brothers. I wouldn't want to lose them ever.  "Speaking of Kendell." He motioned toward the waiting room.

Blake got up from his chair and strides towards Kendell. I watch them as they talk, wanting to see the reaction Kendell had for when the situation was explained to him. To my surprise Kendell didn't look mad at all, he was actually calm. His eyes move over and meet mine, he smiles and my heart has the pain lifted.

"See Caylee you had nothing to worry about. Well better give him the older brother talk with Blake." Steven smirks as he kisses my cheek, and struts out of the room. I roll my eyes. Typical Steven and Blake, too protective of Millie and I.

I waited for what seemed like ages, for the boys to stop their talk with Kendell. Selfishly I wanted Kendell all to myself, but he's been apart of my family since forth grade so I knew that I couldn't have him all to myself. Finally my brothers waved goodbye to me from the waiting room, while Kendell came slowly into my room.

"Hey beautiful." I blush at his comment. But not wanting to look away from his eyes.

"Thanks Ken."

"You have no idea how long I've been waiting to compliment you like that. And to finally call you mine." He smiles and I match his.

"Ever since that day, when you helped me out in the forth grade, I fell in love with you Kendell. I know dating that asshole instead of you was the worst decision ever." He looked at me with concern.

"Then why do it Cay? When you knew I was here for you all along."

"I didn't know the feelings you had for me. I just found out when you confessed hours ago." That caused him to blush.

"You heard all of that?" He sputters, he's turning bright red and I smile.

"Yes, Kendell. You're cute when you're nervous." I blurted. I reached up to cover my mouth not knowing where that came from.

"You're adorable when you're embarrassed." I smile at him, and with that I feel heat on my cheeks. "Correction, you're adorable all the time."

He leans forward, looking like he's going to kiss me. This is it! He's finally going to kiss me!

But as reaches to just above my lips, he brushes past them to kiss my cheek. So much for the kiss.

He moves back, obviously embarrassed about what had just happened. "So, uhm, my mom looked at your charts earlier and said you would be going home in a few days." I Honestly couldn't hold back my excitement. "You've improved so much, and that was just today."

"That's true, I feel like I should thank you. Like I had to wake up to talk to you, and being happier helps ease the pain."

He smiles down to me as he runs his fingers through my mess of hair. I look up to him, searching for his eyes, but i see that his eyes are trained on something else.  My lips. I want him to kiss me so bad that the words just came out of my mouth. "Oh just kiss me already, Ken" He leans back, and looks at me, eyes looking at me with bewilderment. I guess we were both surprised I said that. But that only lasted a second as his smile came back as he leaned in and kissed me softly.
