Dark (The Past Never Changes)

Chapter 15

Kaylee's P.O.V.

"No, no, no! Please no!" I yell at Bree.

"Come on Kaylee I know you love cake!" She says getting closer.

"No, you love cake. That's why it's all over your face!" I laugh.

"No. It's because you wiped it on my face."

"What? How could you assume such a thing?" I joke. She smiles a bit and I laugh. Before she could get close, I feel something touch my face and see Ashton run by.

"Got you!" He yells and runs down the hallway. Bree's laughing at me.

"Ashton! Asshole! I'm gonna get you!" I yell and run after him.

He runs into a bedroom and closes the door. He didn't lock it so I open it an run in after him. He's no where to be seen and I walk in to the middle of the room.

"Ashton! Where are you?" I ask.

I feel him grip my hips and lift me up. He turns me over and places me over his shoulder. I scream and start kicking and him punching, softly, but enough to get my point across.

"Let me down!" I scream.

"Oh no! This is way too much fun!" He yells back and runs out of the room. He runs through the kitchen and right by the cake I take some frosting and wait for him to let me down. We're now in the living room where everyone is plastering others with frosting and throwing cake at each other. Ashton finally lets me down and I wipe his cheek with frosting. Then I laughed and ran away through all the people throwing cake and laughing.

Everyone is here now. I'm talking all the people we've even had contact with in the past two weeks. Tony and Devin are here, soaking wet, and no one knows why. And now Bailey, Divine, Raven, and Niall are here too. It's actually kind of fumny. Bree and Harry seem to be I. Their own little world. Tony and Devin are only focused on each other. Michael and Mariah are flirting major. Raven and Luke are running around like little kids. Bailey and Niall are hiding from each other, then wiping frosting on each other. And Ashton is chasing me around trying to get me back for wiping frosting on his cheek. I look over and see Tony and Devin taking a break.

"Hey! No sitting on my couch while soaking wet!" Harry yells from across the room.

"Dude look around your whole living room is trashed!" Tony says. We all kind of stop and look around. Harry look horrified.

"You guys are animals!" He laughs.

"It was your idea!" Bree pushes his chest gently and he bumps into ear back. They keep doing until he remembers what's going and stops.

"Hey! No distracting me! You have to help clean up." We all sigh.

"Party pooper." Raven mumbles and we all laugh.

I feel something cover my mouth an a large hand on my stomach pulling me away from the group. I watch as everyone disappears behind the corner o the hall way. I'm led to a room and turn around to see Ashton smiling at me. He grabs a blanket of the chair and wipes my face off, them my hair. After I do the same with him.

"Come on let's get out of here." He whisper and kisses my cheek. He walk over to window and opens it. I walk over to him and he picks me up and forces me out. The window led to the hallway to get to Harry's door, so we didn't have to jump from the top story. As soon as he gets out, he fixes the window and takes my hand we run to the stairs and make our way down. I grab my keys out of my pocket and lead him to my car we get in and take a few breaths.

"I can't believe we did that!" I say and smile at him.

"Well we did. There was no way I was cleaning his apartment." He laughs. I pull out and sigh.

"Well thanks. I have things to do anyways." I say.

"Oh okay, well you can just take me home." He smiles. Wait, what? He's not asking what I'm doing? Weird.

"Okay." I say and focus back on the road.

He tells me where to go and we pull up shortly after. I smile at him waiting for hi to say something an get out so I can go practice.

"We should definitely do that again sometime." He leans over and kisses my cheek.

"Have a good night." I say.

"I'll text you. K?" He says and I nod. "Bye." He smirks. I wave and look down.

How did he get my number? Oh well. I need to go to the gym to practice. I can't believe what happened today. Ashton basically peels off my shell the moment I saw him staring at me. Like he was mesmerized and caught up in so much love, that he couldn't move. Why am I thinking about love for? Woah Kaylee, take a step back there. Anyways I don't know what it is. But he's really cool, and I might have a small attraction to him. SMALL.

Bree's P.O.V.

"I can't believe I let this happen." Harry says after everyone leaves.

"It's okay, we got it all cleaned." I remind him. He doesn't say anything, jut sits on the couch and sighs. "Are you okay?" I ask. Still no answer. "Okay, well I'm gonna go now." I walk towards the door.

"Where are you going?" He finally speaks, but in a harsh tone.

"What are you my father?" I ask.

"Tell me." He stands up and looks at me. What is wrong with him, I'm a little scared.

"Home." I spit.

"No, you're staying here." He half yells.

"You don't control me, Harry. I will come back when you are in a better mood. Why are you even so mad anyways?" I ask.

"I don't know. I'm bipolar." He looks down.

"Obviously." I scold.

"Babe, I'm sorry. Please come cuddle with me." He sounds desperate.

"Fine." I sigh and walk over to him.

He doesn't waste time to pull my hips closer and fall on the couch. He wraps his arms around my waste and lays his head against my chest. I feel him smirk and his green eyes peer up at me.

"Does your heart always beat that fast when I touch you?" He smirks.

"Um." I look at the ceiling and smile. He kisses my bench gently and lays back down. After a couple minutes he's fast asleep, and his heart, too, slows down.

I don't know what it is about him. He just drives me crazy. Every time he touches me, he's right, my heart beats faster. I haven't felt this way in a long time and I hope it last for a while.

I was about to fall asleep when my phone goes off.

Steven: Where are u?

Me: None of your business.

Steven: Your at the kids house. Harry right?

Me: And if I am?

Steven: I'm coming to get u.

Me: No, leave me alone.

He didn't reply and I soon hear foot steps getting louder. I jump and Harry whines.

"Sleep." He says groggy.

"No, Harry, Steven's here." He shoots his head up and shortly after there's multiple loud bangs.

He gets up and motions me to the bedroom. I tiptoe down and hear the conversation.

Harry's P.O.V.

"What?" I ask opening the door, pretending I didn't know it was him.

"Where is she?" He yells.

"Who?" I furrow my eye brows.

This guy is a real scum. He just keeps coming back to her, when she obviously doesn't want him. How'd he know where I lived anyways?

"Bree, I know she's here." He says.

"Well she's not." I say and go to close the door. He stops it.

"She told me she was." He smirks.

"She was, but she left." I spit now feeling angry. What the fuck is going on?

"When?" He asks.

"Right before you got here." I lie. He nods and walks down the hallway. As soon as he gets to the stairs, I shut the door and turn to Bree.

"What the fuck is going on?" I yell. She jumps. And shrugs.

"He asked where I was and I said it was none of his business. He asked if I was here and I said I might be. Then he said he was coming to get me." She cries. As soon as she finishes the door flies open.

"I knew she was here!" Steven yells and storms in. I grab him by the collar of his shirt and push him against the wall.

"I swear if you come near her one more time, I will rip you apart. Leave her alone. She doesn't want to be with you." I say through gritted teeth. I let him go and he stands by the door.

"Bree, baby. Please come with me. Come back to me Bree. I promise I'll treat you right. Don't let him get in the way." She says softly looking at her. A tear falls down her face and she shakes her head 'no'. "Fine. I won't stop Bree. You know that." He says and slams the door and leaves. What a prick.

"Okay let me see your phone." I say.

"W-what?" She stutters.

"Your phone." I say louder. She jumps again and walks over to the coffee table. She hands it to me and I go through her messages. She was telling the truth. Stevens gonna die, I swear. I hand her back her phone and she backs up from me.

"Baby, what's wrong." I ask.

"You didn't believe me. I would never lie and you didn't trust me. You did the same thing Niall did to Kaylee." She says softly and looks down the whole time.

"What do you mean?" I ask calmly.

"Why are you with me Harry? If you can't trust me, why?" She looks up at me. Her green eyes are glossy and the skin around them is red and puffy.

"I do trust you Bree." I say.

"Then why did you have to go through my phone? If you trust me so much, why would you do that?" She asks.

"I uh. I don't know." I look down.

"We aren't even defined in a relationship and I'm over here all the time or you're with me. I've completely shut every other guy out of my life, for you, and you can't trust me." She raises her voice.

"Not Steven." I yell. I don't know why I'm blaming this on her, but I did and I regret it now as she rolls her eyes and heads towards the door.

"I have done everything to prove to you that I don't want any body else. I would've given you the world if thats what I had to do." I see one last tear fall from her face and she leaves.

She's right, I shouldn't have done that. I should have held her when she was crying and told her I won't let him hurt her. I should have asked her to be my girlfriend and kissed her. Now she's completely alone out there and he can hurt her, cause I know she won't let me near her to protect her now.

I can't let that happen. I run out there and follow her to her car. I can hear her crying from here. Just as she was was about to open her door, I pin her to it and kiss her with the most passion I could give to her. I feel her shocked expression turn into kissing me back. I place my hands on the small of her back and pull her closer to me. I let it all out and pull back.

I need to tell her how I feel before I loose her. I've debated in my head if I should or not, but I always decide against it. I decide nows the time to tell her and just speak the first things that come to my head.

"Bree, I'm sorry, okay. I know it feels like I don't trust you but I do. No girl has ever made me feel the way you make me feel. I have never had an effect on other girls that I do you and I know that any guy can say that, but I mean it Bree, okay? I mean it. Don't leave me. Please. I messed up and I'm sorry. I won't ever do it again. I promise okay. Just give me the chance and I will prove it to you. Please. Be my girlfriend Bree?" I ask and she looks at me then down towards her feet.

"I can't just let into you that easy." She sighs.

"I don't expect you to. But say you'll be my girlfriend, and we can fix it from there." I say. She debates for a minute.

"Okay." She smiles and I kiss her again. Then I lift her up and carry her back to my apartment.
