Love Sucks! Until I Met You.

Chapter 3 - Stressed

Hayden's POV

That guy that was with Kris I haven't seen him before. He seemed to be a freshman like Taylor and Kris. I wanted so bad to just go over to her and ask her out. I was going to but she stormed off. I followed her while my mind shouted "What the hell are you doing?" I was not controlled by my brain anymore. I wondered where she was going. It was someplace secret I knew that much.

Taylor, Kris and I all had our hideouts around here. Mine was this secret storage closet I found in tone of the guest bedrooms. I had lost one of my favorite batman action figures. This was the last place I would look so I thought "Hey why not". While I was looking throught one of the closets, I came across a small door. It needed a key, but luckily it was on the floor by some boxes. When I entered this room it was incredible. It had a light house theme. It looked brand new. I found a telescope bolted on a stand. As I looked throughout the yard I spotted an amazing waterfall. I knew from then on this was my secret place.

She was walking fast, almost running. Her cowboy boots slightly sqeaking in the wet grass. I decided to wait util she left to check it out. Thirty minutes later she looked alot more at ease. She made her way to the house, and looked great doing so. Stop! Focus. I barely fit through the small entrance she made for herself. This place was beautiful. No wonder she kept it to herself. This place reminds me of my mom and how she likes to garden. I spent about ten minutes admiring the last of the lucious garden.

Taylor's POV

I saw him with Kris. His blonde hair falling right above his beautiful crystal blue eyes. They were laughing and it seemed as if they had know each othe for years. She noticed me and gestured to join them. As I walked up he had been holding my gaze with his own.

"Hello my darling. Taylor this is Jeremey. Jeremey this is Tayor." she said acting as if we were at a fancy dinner party.

"Hey. It's nice to meet you. Greart party by the way." he said while shaking my hand. Kris looked like she was oozing happy. She had her left hand up to her face and pointed in Jeremey's direction and mouthed "This is him"

"Hi it's nice to meet you too, and thanks. We dont have parties often so we like to make them big." I stated trying not to look nervous. I mean why would I be?

We stood there for a good twenty seconds before I spoke up. "Well I should probabaly go and find my bother, Hayden, thanks for coming." I said seemingly dissappointed. I left the house onto the porch. There were already drunk kids crowding everywhere. I didn't know what to do so I ran. I ran to the only place I know I could truly be alone. The old tree house my brother and I have shared since we were youngsters. He's like my best friend, well besides Kris. I'll just enjoy the rest of my alone time I can manage.

Kris's POV

After Taylor left I punched Jeremey's arm as hard as I could.

"Oww! What was that for?" he asked craddling his hurt arm.

"Geez your stupid!" I half yelled when a kid from our grade passed by.

"Sorry Todd not you, I was talking to this idiot over here." I say pointing to Jeremey. He nods giving Jeremey a sympathetic look before joining his group of friends.

"Before you go and do something stupid again, think of how you would feel in her place." I stormed off, leaving him there. I went to the back yard, passing all the drunk kids. I went straight to a secrect garden I found when I was six. We had been playing a game of hide and go seek. I thought of a perfect hiding place. Before I knew it i was lost. I was about to scream, but I fell backwards through a bush. I had stumbled apon a beautiful natural garden. It had a gracious waterfall that wasn't strong but wasn't exactly weak. I come here to think. To get rid of the stress.

I wish I could be like that waterfall. Carefree, enjoying life, but no I can't. I can't be carefree, or enjoy life to it's fullest. I can't forget all the bad memories. Oh goodness, that almost kiss. Everytime I see him I just want to jump into his arms, and rape his face with my kisses. I know that sounds extreme but it's true. I dont know how long I sat there, but it seemed time to get back to the party.

Actually my party moods over. I'll just go to bed. I'm exhausted. I try for Taylor's room but it's all locked up with drunk teens doing whos know what. Well all of the rooms are taken except for...Hayden's. At the moment I didnt care. I peeped through the doorway and lucky me no one was in here. I flopped onto his bed and snuggle under his covers. I was about to fall asleep until I heard the door open then close. I sat up in alert mode. It was dark so I couldn't see who it was. I tried to untangle myself from the covers but I couldn't manage. I felt the bed dip. I was about to scream before a hand made it's way over my mouth.

"Kris it's just me." Hayden said calmly. I relaxed a bit and lied down. He removed his hand. He made his way under the covers, scooting closer to me.

"Sorry. I should go." I stated but he just wrapped his arm around my waist.

"No, you don't have to." he whispered making me shiver slightly.

"I can't" I said standing my ground. I removed his hand and got off the bed. I made my way to the door but before I left "Goodnight princess." I said and I was gone. Didn't see that one coming did ya big boy? I decided to crash on the couch since the party was pretty much over.

Hayden's POV

I went straight to my room. This party was no fun to me. As I walked upstairs I couldn't help but wonder where Kris was. When I entered my room I caught a glimps of Kris on high alert in my bed, struggling to get out. She probably thought I was that pedo from last time. Who invited that guy anyway? I sat on my bed searching in the darkness for her mouth, I had a feeling she would scream. When My hand covered her mouth I quickly assured her it was me. Her body was less tense and she laid down. i got under the covers and moved closer to her warm body.

"Sorry. I should go." she stated but I wrapped my arm around her waist. It felt so right. Like she was meant to be there.

"No, you don't have to." I whispered trying to convince her to stay.

"I can't" she said standing her ground. Why was she so stubborn? Why couldn't she just give in? She removed my hand and got off the bed. She walked to the door but before she left...

"Goodnight princess." she said in a motherly tone. She knew just what to say when things got tense. She is stubborn beyond belief, but also kind. She's sassy "And don't you forget it" she'd state over-confidently. She had my heart completely and didn't know it. Well I will show her i'm all hers.

About an hour later I decided to check on Kris. The party was completely over. I found her ten minutes later on the other side of the house. She was curled up into a ball, with one of my old jackets? Her straight, honey colored hair covered her face. Well I can say she looked toatally adorable. I could just hug her until forever. She slept like a rock so I knew I wouldnt bother her when I picked her up and brought her to my bed. I covered her petite body in my warm blanket. I decided to sleep on the couch in my room, so I grabbed a spare blanket and sprawled across the apholstery. It could have been my half asleep brain working but I thought I heard Kris say "I love you Hayden." I fell asleep with a huge goofy grin on my face.
