I Wish You Would

*Chapter 31*

Updated. Finally. :P Because, well I had promises to keep. :P

If life went the thought the way it would, it would have been so much better. But sometimes it is not just meant to be.

Jonathan and I had patched up our differences, or so I had thought. I had noticed a major change in Jon. He had highly insecure. Every time I came home from somewhere, I faced a huge number of questions about my whereabouts. I tried talking to Jon about this. But he always said he was just being protective of me.

I little too overprotective. I thought.

I thought time had come to end it in between us. I said the same on one tearful afternoon to Ashley and Dylan.

I was met with silence.

"I don't think Kay. Don't do it just now. Wait for a few days. It will blow over. Jon is still having a hard time accept this." Dylan told me. "Well, you can't expect me to stay away from Nate just because my boyfriend is jealous of him for no reason." I sighed. "Are you sure there is no reason?" Dylan looked at me questioningly. He continued, "If you truly do love him, then maybe you should stay away from Nate for sometime."

***

I had decided to take Dylan's advice. After all if I really loved Jonathan, I had to make him a priority. So I called Nate up one night when I was sure Jon wasn't home and I was sure he wouldn't spring up on me. I at least owed Nathan an explanation, so that is what I did.

"I am so sorry I put you through all of this Kay. This is all my fault." Nathan sounded forlorn on the other line. "Nate listen, Jonathan will come around. Just give him time. And don't worry, I am still your friend okay." "Yeah, okay. Bye." I hung up and sighed. Since when did everything have to get so complicated? It was all going so perfect.

"Kaylen dear, get up. You have to go to practice today. Come on!" My mother's voice broke me out of my sleep. With groggy eyes and messy hair, I dragged myself to my bathroom. I freshened up and changed into my practice shorts and a t-back. I pulled my hair into a tight pony and down I went, my eyes still half closed from the sleep that still hadn't left my body. Result: I almost fell off the stairs and cracked my head. That tiny bit of accident woke me up alright. Temporarily.

Jon was going to take me to practice today. I was so sleepy that without even saying good morning, I fell asleep in the front seat. 

"Wake up Kaylen. We are here. Why in the world are you so drowsy today?" Jonathan shook me awake. He had opened the car door and I would have fallen out if he hadn't caught me. Talk about embarrassing injuries. 

"Well, I was reading uptil late last night." I smiled at him sheepishly. "And what were you reading so late at night?" "Fault in Our Stars." I replied. That earnt me a disdainful stare. "Again? How many times are you going to read that book?" "And cry" I added, grinning. "And cry." he echoed. "As long as I have the book, I am going to read it. It is one of my favourites." I replied. "You and your sappy love stories." Jon rolled his eyes and walked away, only to be thrown on the ground when I leapt on him from behind. "You do not insult my choices." I looked at him in mock furiousness. He simply grinned back at me and we went hand in hand to the gym.
