I sat down on my bed after I changed my clothes, I looked over at Marco who was smiling ear to ear as he sat on my bean bag. Why would he even want to talk to me? He knew that I wasn't interested in him whatsoever.
"Kayla look, I know that you told me at the dance that you have feelings for James, and that he's your boyfriend and all; but I just wanted you to know that I care deeply about you... I always have. Sure I didn't show it for the past couple of years, but I also didn't know what I wanted then. Yes, I've been a complete ass, jerk, douche, son of a bitch, whatever you wanna call me, but it's not gonna change how I feel about you. And I can't believe that I couldn't see what an amazing person you are until now... and for that, I'm sorry. I've just wanted to apologize for everything that I've done to hurt you." He looked at the ground and blushed.
What was I gonna say to him? I could tell in his voice that he was sorry, but I didn't want to be mean to him again after he's told me how he felt about me. It would be nice to have an actual boyfriend, instead of a fake boyfriend that I paid three hundred dollars for, and I don't even know if he likes me anymore.
My heart was hurting and confused. Maybe it was time to actually move on from James, considering the fact that it probably wouldn't work out between us.
"Ok Marco, thank you for your apology. Maybe we could go see a movie or go out to eat or something, sometime." I gave him a smile.
His face lit up, "Are you serious?!" I nodded my head and agreed. He jumped up with excitement and lifted me off the bed and, kissed me? He set me down, "Oh, I'm so sorry Kayla, I didn't mean to do that."
What? Why? That kiss was supposed to be mine and Marcos kiss! Okay, it wasn't technically my first kiss if it wasn't someone I didn't have feelings for. I still wasn't sure about Marco, so I didn't know if I liked him, or hated his guts. "That's okay, just don't do it again without my permission. Okay?"
He smiled and nodded his head, "Lets go see Deadpool. I saw all the commercials for it, and I thought you might like it, so would you wanna come watch it with me?"
"Umm, I don't know if I can." I said as the thought of James in the hospital came to mind. "I promised my dad that I would be right back to him after I got home."
"Where's he at? I'll drive you."
My heart sank, "No that's okay!" I calmed down, "I uh- I walked here, I can walk back. Thank you though. But how about a rain check on that movie?"
"Okay, how about after school?"
"I'll have to see. Just talk to me tomorrow, I gotta go. Byeeeee!" I said as I started to run to the hospital.
As I ran I started to think of James, but then Marco kept popping up in my head. I was torn between the two of them. Never in my life has anyone been so sweet to get to know me, even though I was paying them three hundred dollars, but never has anyone apologized to me so sweetly, even if they are a man whore. Why was this so hard? Did I even have to ask myself these questions?
I made it to the hospital and ran up the stairs to James floor. As I entered the room a smile spread across his face. "You look cute." I sat on his bed next to him.
"Thanks." I tried to keep it short, I didn't know what to say after the Marco incident. James was a vert sensitive guy, and he had been through enough already, the last thing I wanted to do was tell him about Marco.
His face grew worried, "You okay Kay?"
"Yeah I'm fine." I gave him a reassuring smile, "Just tired."
He looked out the window, and just stared outside. I wanted to talk to him, and actually tell him how I felt with him awake. But he was obviously annoyed with me or something; so I let him be.
I took a seat on the couch and told my dad bye. The nurse came in shortly after and handed Marco some release papers. While he signed them I checked social media, same old crap.
"Oh baby!" A lady entered the room and hugged Marco. He smiled and hugged her back, "Hey momma."
"This is your mom?" I asked. She looked way young to be his mom.
She smiled, "Yes, I'm Evelyn." Her arm extended, "And you are?"
"I'm Kayla. James friend." I stood up with a smile and shook her hand.
She embraced me in a hug, "I'm so thankful that you were there to help him. I would've been there but I had a lot of medical stuff to take care of."
"It was no problem. I was just glad to have gotten there in time. Your son is truly amazing, and yeah." I wanted to say more incredible words about him, but didn't want to scare his mom. "Well, uh, I better get going." I walked out the room and took the elevator to the main floor, I walked home and then texted Marco that we could go see Deadpool today. He quickly responded with on my way.
