Unexpected Love

Chapter Twenty-Four: Always

"So, are you going to talk to Brayden?" Chance asked, running water through my hair, brushing his hand through also. I could feel the batter falling out.

I looked at him, "Chance. He is so selfish. He is basically killing you so that he can live. He's asking me to choose between my best friend and my boyfriend. How can I talk to him when he's in that mind set?"

Chance moved the hose along my back, walking around behind me. The water is freezing, even if I'm still wearing his sweater, "Look. If I were in his position, I wouldn't do what he's doing. But, I can see where he's coming from: he loves you and doesn't care what it takes to stay with you.."

I interrupted him, "But you love me and you're trying to sacrifice yourself for me. How can he be willing to kill someone I so obviously love? Maybe he isn't the person I have come to know and love."

I'm now in tears, it hurts so bad to have to deal with something like this. How can a person do this to me? Especially someone I love and have loved for more than six years. I feel myself fall to my knees, touching the water puddles with my bare skin. I can't help but bring my head to the ground too, soaking my newly washed hair into the water and batter.

"Oh Klo, I'm so sorry." He said, dropping down and rescuing my hair from the ground, placing it on his knees. "I wish I could save you from all of this heart break. I wish that I had made my move when I had the chance."

I jumped from laying down and hugged him, almost knocking him over. I just can't handle the fact that I could lose either one of them, they're both so close to me, I love their lives more than I love myself.

"Look, I don't want you to cry anymore. I really don't want to see or hear it anymore. I won't donate my heart if you don't want me to, if you can't handle it." He said, standing up with me in his arms. He was holding me, my feet were literally off the ground, but I felt like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. I was simply bringing him down with me.

"Please don't C. Please just stay with me." I said, I could feel my legs touch the ground. He stood up and wrapped his arms around me, grabbing my head and pulling it towards him, digging into his chest.

He kissed the top of my head again, "Always."

Just then, the sliding glass door opened, "Khloe, I think you need to come inside. Someone is here to see you."

I turned around to see Brayden standing with his arms crossed at the door, "Hey."
