#4 stole my heart

Chapter 15: A Forehead Kiss

Kelly's pov:

Cole asked why Zack had punched me like he did and Jaden and Braden eagerly wanted to know too. So even though I really did not want to relive what had happened, I told them.

"When you guys left, he shut the door, put his hands in his pockets and was quiet for a minute. Then he looked up at me and walked over beside my bed. He didn't say anything, he just went for it. He grabbed my face and tried to kiss me. I pushed him away, but he wouldn't budge. His lips touched mine and then his hands... they wandered to places they didn't belong. I kicked him away and he looked shocked at what I had just done. I told him to stop and that I don't like him like that. Then he said 'Why not? You like Braden don't you? Ugh. How could you like that little scumbag?' I defended B and told him that Braden was the greatest guy ever but he just laughed. So I told him to get out and to never talk to me again, but he came closer to me and whispered in my ear 'You shouldn't have rejected me." He then backed up and I saw that his eyes had gone cold. I thought he was just gonna leave, but then he grit his teeth and... and he punched me. He said 'That's what you get' and stormed out. Leaving me crying in my hands with a black eye." I talked for what seemed like an hour

Braden didn't say anything, he just got up and left. I hope he's not going to find Zack because that will not end well. Jaden ran after him but Braden was faster.

I snap back to the present and I'm sitting in my hospital bed. Braden only stormed out about 20 minutes ago, and he hasn't come back yet. I'm starting to get worried. I want so badly to go find him, but I can't. When Zack punched me, his fist rattled my brain, and the doctors have to check to make sure that everything's alright inside my head. Well not alright, but at least that no new damage has been done. I'm patiently waiting with Cole and Jaden to be taken away for x-rays, and after a long silence, I speak up.

"Where do you think he went?" I ask them, a worried look plastered on my face

"I don't know Kel. But I'm sure he just needed to cool off a little bit, ya know? Take it all in." Cole says

I nod, hoping that he's right. Just then, the nurse comes in to roll me away to the x-ray room. (I'm in a wheelchair for now because like I said, I have to take things super slow and be extra careful.) I wave goodbye to Jaden and Cole and they wish me good luck.

We enter the room and it's dark. I mean, of course it is how else would they take an x-ray? Anyway, they attach the cloak thingy that covers up my body so it's only my head that gets x-rayed. I close my eyes and they take the picture. They take a couple in different positions to see my brain from all angles. After only 5 mins, they're all done. I'm wheeled back to my room and Jaden and Cole are still there.

"So, how'd it go? Everything ok?" asks Jaden

"It was fine and I don't know yet. They have to examine my x-rays first."

"If you're brainstem is even worse than it was before and the reason is because Zack punched you, I'm gonna kill him." Cole says, and he's being serious. He pounds his fist into his hand and I get flashbacks from earlier today. I wince.

"Oh, Kelly! I'm so sorry!" He says, hiding his hands from me

"It's fine, I'm ok."

The nurse comes in with the results. She says that my brain still has the same amount of damage as before, and that nothing bad happened when Zack punched me. Thank god, I think.

"Yay!" both Jaden and Cole say at the same time

"Haha. Hey you guys should get going, it's already 11 o'clock and you have a game tomorrow."

"Not until 4:30!" says Cole

"And since Braden isn't here, one of us has to stay with you so you're not alone." Jaden says

I blush. How sweet of them.

Jaden tells Cole that he'll stay and that Cole can go home if he wants. But just as Cole was about to say no and that he'll stay too, his phone rang. It was his dad, telling him to get home, so he had to go. I hug him goodbye and he heads out the door.

Now it's just Jaden and I.

"How about we play a game?" He suggests

"Like what?" I laugh

"I dunno know." He pauses "Ooo! How about 'I Spy?' You loved that game when we were 8." He laughs at the memories.

Awe. He remembers that? How adorable.

"Ok!!" I say eagerly, not wanting to admit that it's still my favorite game.

We play for the next hour or so and then find ourselves becoming very sleepy. I yawn and Jaden does too.

"Let's go to sleep." I say, yawning again

"Yeah alright." He says "Where should I sleep?" He asks, looking around the room

"Just lay right beside me. I don't mind. And I'm not letting you sleep in a chair haha"

He does as told and kicks off his shoes then climbs under the covers next to me.

"Night Jaden" I whisper, facing him and snuggling up with the blankets

"Goodnight beautiful." He whispers back. Then he kisses my forehead and shuts his eyes. I blush after he closes them.

Beautiful? Now that's 2 guys who have called me beautiful and meant it. Jaden is so sweet and.. also really cute. Huh. I guess I never actually realized that before.

I smile at the thought of him and close my eyes. Wait.. do I.. like him? No. Of course not. I'm in love with Braden.

Right?
