the summer (a Mikey Fusco Love Story)

Chapter 36

A/N: Hey sorry I haven't updated in forever but I've been really busy. I know this chapters kind of short and cheesy but I want to know what you think of Spencer and Kalen? or of just Spencer? Thank you so much for reading:) ilysm :)

Despite all the negativity in my life at the moment, my heart was filled with happiness and joy. I was more than enthusiastic when I found out we were going to Ashton's, and I'm not gonna lie, I was happy I would get to see Mikey again, not to mention Vinny and Alexis.

but I had that constant feeling of impatience because I wanted to them so bad.

My heart leaped at the thought but was brought back down when I remembered about my 'boyfriend' who was acting like a girl on their period.

I was more mad at Spencer than anything. He was delusional. I could have sworn he was happy for me and Mikey for being just friends, but no. I wondered if Spencer was just going through some crazy moment where he was unsure of everything and maybe he had trust issues. I didn't exactly know all the details of Spencer's life, but during the past few months I had become quite close with his family. They treated as if I were one of theirs, It was nice feeling.

I couldn't bear the feelings anymore and  picked up my phone. The numbers were so familar I didn't even have to look to type them. The phone rang only twice before the Voicemail tone picked up. Awesome, he just ignored me.  

"Spenc, I have no clue what I did, but I would like to fix it. Mikey and I have nothing to do with this. This is something between you and I. Please call me back when you get this." My voice cracked as I struggled to let the ever so sweet words slip from my mouth, "I...I lo..ve you."

I hung up and threw my phone down. I had build up all my confidence for that simple phone call and now I had none. Slowly I paced over to the calandar on the wall and marked the day we would be leaving, December 10.

......and it was November 22......so close but so far away.Patience is a virtue.

Thanksgiving came and left without any sort of communication from Spencer. I tried texting him a few times but after so long I finally quit. Quit trying, he obviously didn't care enough to put any effort into getting anything back so I stopped trying.

I just didn't understand what made a person switch from being totally and completely happy in a relationship to a split second switch. He sounded really bipolar to me but I thought maybe something bad might have triggered it. Maybe a past girlfriend, maybe he found one of journal entries, maybe he just decided enough was enough? I shrugged knowing I probably wouldn't ever know because he was acting like a 5 year old.

Of course I saw him in school but he wouldn't talk to me, a glance or two was all I would get and it honestly started killing me. and I just didn't have the guts to speak to him at school.

I loved Spencer with all my heart and I thought about him everyday. My heart just couldn't move on. He meant everything to me and now I meant nothing to him.

I was eventually going to snap if this kept up.

It was now Decmeber and we were only five days away from sweet sweet Jersey. I hadn't told Spencer anything about Jersey, not that he would've talked to me anyway.Jersey was going to be my safe haven for the next three weeks. No Spencer, and no drama (i hope)

I only had five more days here before flying out to my home away from home.

The second I got home from my terrible day at school I flopped onto the couch, letting the Tv clear my thoughts.

"Kalen?" My mom called from the kitchen. I had actually become fond of my mothers news in the past few days because they were always exciting updates on the flight or Christmas stuff so I gladly came to her call.

"Ya?" I asked her jumping into the kitchen prepared for more good news.

"Here." She smiled and handed me an envelope.

"What the hel....heck?" I corrected myself remembering that I was in front of my mom.

She gave a sour face but smiled afterward. "You're gonna need this." She said tossing me a jacket from the coat closet.

"Okay?" I said grabbing my keys off the counter.

"Have fun." She whispered and sent me out the door with a suspicious smile.

The semi cold air filled my lungs as I examined the envelope in my hands.

I flipped it over and cautiously opened the envelope, taking out a single peice of paper.

" Kalen, I hope you don't think I'm an ass, and I'm sorry I didn't talk to you in class, but will you please drive to the overpass."

The only think I could think after reading that was how corny this was. If this was his way of trying to get back together I was not going to get back together with him. I wanted to but I just couldn't.

I finally decided to just go with it. I drove to the over pass that I was pretty sure he was talking about. It was abandoned and we had only been there once, when he decided to take me for a random drive. We drove around the city in places that I had never been.

I pulled up and immediantly saw the rose sitting on the sidewalk. I picked it up and untied the slip of paper from it.

" I hope you can forgive me, where we went on our first date is your next key."

I knew exactly where that was the moment I read it, the beach. The place where I had attempted to surf. The place I knew I wanted Spencer all to myself.

I drove all the way back to my house and ran to the beach.

"McKay?" I said noticing her standing on the beach. "What are you doing here?"

"Helping you out." She smiled and handed me another rose. I took the rose in my hands and unfolded the note.

"Your next clue is at the place where I struck out but also scored you."

I thought for a minute but remembered the baseball game we had played together. That was one of the funest games I had ever played. I drove to the feild but noticing that there were other people practicing on it, I scoped out the place for any roses.

"There." I spoke to myself as I spotted a rose up in a tree.I pulled it down and read it, "When our lips met for the first time sparks flew, I know this is cheesy but so was I the first time we kissed."

I drove back to my house tired. This was really cheesy but it was winning me over.

I pulled into the driveway and saw Spencer holding the other 9 roses in his hand waiting for me to get out of the car. I jumped out without even shutting the car door and ran to his arms. His presence cascaded me with warm thoughts. My lips pressed up against his the instant we met.

"Please don't do that ever again." I said pulling away.

"I won't" He promised and pulled me back towards him.

"I pulled away soon after. "Why?"

"I was stupid, I let my friends get the best of me." He said and sounded unsure of himself.

He pulled me closer to him and wrapped his arms around my back, but I backed away again. "Spencer, I'm leaving for Jersey in five days and staying for three weeks."
