All of My Heart (Kellin Quinn fanfic)

chapter eighteen

JESSICA'S POV
I typed Kayla and Kellin's address into my GPS, and slowly backed out of my driveway.
the pit of nervousness in my stomach continued to grow as I made the short drive.
When Jaime walked me to my car yesterday he asked me to go on a date with him. I was shocked, and I didn't know how to respond, so I just left. I was worried I had hurt his feelings.
I walked up the porch steps and lightly tapped on the sliding glass door.
Mike, Vic, Jaime, Tony, and Megan waved me inside from the kitchen table.

"JESSICA!" Megan yelled, running up to hug me.

"I missed you so much!" I said, hugging her back.

"im sorry I wasn't there yesterday. I was reading baby books and whatnot," she said with a smile, gently placing a hand on her tummy.

"it's fine, it's not like you knew I would be there," I said laughing. "where are Kayla and kellin?" I asked, looking around.

"they'll be down in a few. they always snuggle with Bryce and play with him for a while after he wakes up" she explained.

"awh, that's adorable!"

"come, sit, eat," Megan said, walking back to her seat beside Vic.
The seat between jaime and Megan was available, but he hadn't looked at or spoken to me since I'd arrived, so I chose the seat between mike and tony.

"sup?" mike asked, his mouth full of food.

"hey," Tony said quietly. he seemed shy.

"hey boys," I said smiling, giving them each a hug.

Jaime caught my eye, and I could see the hurt hidden in his.

"Jaime, can you walk outside with me?" I asked, pleading with my eyes.

"uh, yeah." he cleared his throat and stood up, awkwardly holding my hand as we walked through the house and out the back door.

"so, what's up?" he asked, perching himself on the railing of the back porch.

"I'm sorry Jaime," I walked up to him and grabbed his hands in mine.
"it just freaked me out.. I've had bad experiences with boyfriends in the past." I looked down, the lump in my throat threatening to dissolve into tears.

"would you at least go on a date with me? I really like you... like really really like you." he said, awkwardly stumbling over his words.

"yeah, I would like that," I said smiling.
he kissed my cheek, and we walked back inside with a new confidence to the way we interlaced our fingers.

LEAH'S POV

"are you okay?" I asked, pulling the blanket up to his waist.

"yeah." he said quietly, his eyes shut tight from the pain.
the pills they have him when he demanded to leave the hospital were nothing compared to the heavy drugs they pumped into him during his stay.

I kissed his forehead, and left, going down stairs.

"how is he?" lee asked from the couch.

"oh shut the fuck up lee. you started all this." I spat back.

"whatever, slag." he mumbled under his breath.

"don't fucking talk about me!" I yelled, smacking him with an open hand.

he grabbed my arm out of defense, and angrily said, "lay another bloody hand on me Leah, and I'll call the police."

I ignored him, and went to the kitchen. I got Oli and I some drinks and snacks, retreating to our room to comfort him.
