He Will Regret Me

This is it. I'm DONE.

"What?" I ask Dereck.

There's a long sigh, "Kayla....I miss you." I glance at Joey, who has a confused look painted onto his face. "But Dereck... you broke up with me..."

I hear silence and a low voice replies "My mom made me..." My heart stops for a second. She did what...? She broke up the one happy, successful relationship I had? I should've known...

"R-really?" I stutter. Joey walks to me, and places his hand gently on my shoulder. A whirlwind of emotions are rushing through me. "Kayla. She told me that if I didn't break up with you...she wouldn't pay for my college." Dereck explains. Wait. Let's see here, so she bribes me to break up with her son, so that doesn't work, so her next option was to threaten her son?

"This...that makes no sense..." I say turning away from Joey for more privacy. "What doesn't?" Dereck questions. "She bribed me." I say.

Silence. "Really...?" The questions seems to echo. I sit in silence, the shock of how badly this woman did not like me...

"And then...I said no and I'd still date you." I say. A feeling rushes over me. But he didn't say no to her? More silence fills the other side. He must've realized.

"You didn't tell her no? Is that how much the relationship meant?" The words tumble out of my mouth without stopping "I-I turned down money for you...I could've used that money to go to college...buy a house...or anything. But I turned it down for you. For us." The realization is an overwhelming wave of anger and sadness. After all I went through? He just threw it away. I'm a blink of an eye, for one thing...money. Money, is worth more than me. Apparently everything is. "Kayla, she's my mother...I need to-"

"Just stop." I cut him off, I don't need to hear no more. He broke up with me for money. Greed. The word seems to echo forever in my mind. "Your no different. Your just like every other guy." He doesn't reply. He knows what he's done. "And you expect me to forgive you? To just get together with you after the mistake you've made?"

"Kayla..." He doesn't say anything else. He knows I'm right. "Dereck. I'm not your rebound." I say. "So no, I won't get back with you." I say and hang up the call.

Joey has a look of concern twinkling In his eyes. "You alright?" He walks up and gently slides a finger under my eye. I'm crying? He looks at me and holds both my cheeks, rubbing his thumb underneath my eye. I look at him and it makes me even more sad.

I don't remember leaning forward but I'm in his arms. Holding tight to him. "Joey...why are guys....j-jerks?" I cry into him. He pets my head, "it's ok...shh...I'm sorry..." He coos comforting words.

He takes me inside, carrying me in his arms. He places me on my bed in my room. He turns to leave "J-Joey..." I reach my arms towards him. "Stay."

He smiles and crawls into bed with me. He holds me close to him. " I'm here for you...I'll always be by your side." He says softly. He's not grabbing me in a perverted way, he's being sweet,comforting. He may have broke my heart but he's healing it as well. My messed up confusing life...this is what I need. I snuggle closer to him, clinging to his scent. "I don't want you ever to leave..." I say so softly I can barely hear it myself.

I wake up, and the smell is gone. His sweet smell...it's disappeared. I don't really remember falling asleep. He must've left after I did. I try to remember last night, did he kiss me before he left? The memory is very foggy and unclear. I get up and stretch in bed. I'm still in my normal clothes. I pick up my phone, messages from Dereck. I go to my contacts, and find his number and block it. I'm not in the mood to deal with him. All my other messages are from Joey.

"Hey feeling better?"

"Idk what happened but I'm here."

"Sleeping beauty?"

I smile at the messages, this is a good way to wake up. I type a reply back "I'm up". I set my phone down and go to the kitchen. Mom is sitting with hash-browns, eggs, and a cup of coffee. "Morning." She replies from her phone. She glances up "That boy is so sweet, Joey is it? He came down last night and told me that you fell asleep."

I smile at the thought. He is sweet. Even if he broke my heart, it was a misunderstanding. I grab me a cup of OJ and sip on it. Joey...I always had a crush on you. You was always my friend next to Dani. Treated me like one of the guys, I always fit in around him. He was my comfort zone. Every time I was stressed over finals or anything, when I talked to him, it all melted away. It was always that way. Has he always been the one? Was I blind up to now? I think the fog is beginning to clear, and to show who he really is.

"Mom...I'm going out." She nods in response. I run to my room throw on some new clothes and I'm out the door. I get in my car, and my hands and feet lead the way.
