Chapter 8

No one likes being woken up at 3 am. By your phone going off.

Groaning, I moved the blankets to try and find my phone.

I heard a thud, and I grabbed it off the floor.

"What the hell?" I answered the facetime, rubbing my eyes.

"Hehe sorry!" Kayla laughed. "How are you? You didn't text me back last night.... what's up?"

This is why I love her. I talked to the other girls, but not as often as I talked to Kayla.

"Michael, he-" She cut me off.

She was pissed. "What?! What did he do now? Oh gosh."

I laughed. "He didn't do anything bad. I just don't know how to react."

Kayla nodded her head. "Explain."

So I did. I told her what Michael said and what Calum said. I told her everything.

"You know what," She started. "I think he likes you."

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever."

"But wasn't he upset when he read the text that 'Kaleb' sent you? Chelsea, he's jealous! Or was. But still!! It all makes sense, he loves you." She immediately put her hand over her mouth after those three words came out.

"No he doesn't." I shook my head. "It's impossible."

"But maybe he does." Kayla pushed.

"It's don't think he loves me. Maybe likes me, as a friend. That's more realistic."

She laughed. "But you like him, don't you?"

I blushed and she screeched. "You do like him!"

I rolled my eyes.

"Well, you have two months to get to know him better."

"Yeah, I guess. I just get this feeling when I'm around him." I smiled, looking down.

"Omg, like what?"

"I don't know.. I just get butterflies whenever I'm around him. When he hugs me, I feel safe and protected. He just makes me smile and makes me really happy. He's just-" I paused, "perfect." I sighed, my smile growing wider.

I could hear Kayla giggle. "Chelsea... You're in loooovvvveeeeee."

I shook my head. "I am not in love with him. I've only known him for two weeks."

I pushed all of my feelings for Michael away.

I was mad at myself for falling for someone I just met.

"Aw babe... You're just scared. Maybe scared of heartbreak. But I don't think he'll hurt you." She took a deep breath. "Or maybe you're scared of love."

I laughed. "Yeah, I am."

"Well," Kayla started. "Don't worry about it too much."

"I won't." I smiled.

I was startled when I heard a soft knock on my door.

"Hey Kay? I'll call you back later, it's really early here." I said.

"Yeah of course! Love you, byeee." She said and she hung up.

I heard the knocks again and I went to my door.

I opened the door and smiled at the person standing in front of me.

"Hey."

"Why are you still here?" I giggled, walking to my bed and sitting down.
