An O'Solo Love Story

3.

Kelley's POV
Hope is sprawled out on my bedroom floor while I spin around in my desk chair. She's asking me lots of questions, recording me on the camera. Most of her footage is probably shit because whenever she asks me questions, she makes faces at me and I keep laughing.
We've been sitting in here for fifteen minutes, just getting to know each other a bit considering we know nothing about each other.
"Wanna go outside, this is boring and it's gonna be a lame presentation if it's just me talking about myself."
"But Kelley, this floor is so comfortable and that's a lot of work to get up off my ass and walk down all those stairs."
I roll my eyes at the girl on my floor. "I think you'll live, come on."
"I swear if I get bit by a damn mosquito, you'll pay."
She follows me down the stairs and out the back door.
I head to the trampoline. I start jumping up and down. "So why'd you move to this ghost town? There's like no jobs here or anything."
Hope's face whitens. She looks like she's just seen a ghost.

Hope's POV
"So why'd you move here?"
I don't hear what else Kelley says. I instantly become nervous. My palms become sweaty and I feel my heart rate increase. I bet Kelley can hear my heart beating from the other side of the trampoline.
"Um...well my dad and I have had some...family issues...recently and so my dad just kinda wants some space from everyone, you know? He's sick of everyone coming to see us and having a look of pity in their eyes. My dad faces reality. What happened can never be changed so there's no need to give us pity, we have to move on and they're not helping at all."
"Wow i'm sorry Kelley. That was rude of me to ask since I just met you. I hope I didn't cross any boundaries."
"It's fine. Now, have you ever been in a relationship?"
I'm eager to change the subject, especially to this. Will she tell me the truth about what she's in to or will she lie? I'm also quite nervous about my job with her though. Usually if someone asked me about my past, if they were lucky, they would only end up with a black eye and maybe one broken bone. But with her, everything has changed. I want to spill everything, but I can't. Not without putting her at risk of feeling my father's wrath. But I do know one thing-if I do follow through with this, it could very well be the worst mistake of my life and I will never be able to forgive myself. But if I don't do this...I know what will happen to me. And I know this sounds selfish, but for once, I don't want to be the one that gets hurt.
Note- Sorry it took so long to update. Did you guys see the Bachelor last night? Kelley was on it with Alex Morgan. (: The women sucked ass though. Have they ever even touched a ball in their life? But the goalie for Kelley's team was pretty good actually.
