Sinkin' In (Cody Simpson love story)

Ch. 23

Chapter 23:

We arrive back to my grandparents, luckily my family didn't find out what happened at the bowling alley. I pull myself together so no one expects anything and go straight to the room. Cody following closely behind. He shuts the bedroom door behind him.

"Kayla, please talk to me. I don't understand what I did so wrong. I was only trying to protect you." I simply ignore him. I go in to the bathroom and change into my pajamas and wash off my make up. I grab my phone off my bedside table and start walking out of the bedroom door. Before I can open the door, Cody takes hold of my wrist.

"Love, were not ending this vacation on a bad note. Can we fix this?" he asks.

"I'm not in the mood to fix this right now Cody." i roll my eyes.

"I was only trying to protect you Kayla."

"I could've handled it just fine Cody. He wouldn't of put a hand on either of us if you didn't jump in. I don't need you there for everything!"

"He was hitting on you Kayla. I only wanted to show him what was mine. I admit, I was getting jealous." He defends.

"Im not property Cody. You don't own me. Even if he was hitting on me, he would've gotten over it!" I yell at him.

"I didn't mean for it to sound like your property. And how do you know he would've gotten over it? I didn't want him to take you away from me!" He fights back.

"He was my best friend for years Cody! I know him pretty damn well! Listen, Im done with this. I'm spending a few hours with my grandma tonight. Good night." I shut the door behind me. I join my grandma in the living room as she sits watching tv.

"Hey grandma." I smile.

"Hi sweetie."

"Lets watch a movie!" I suggest.

"Sure! Where's Cody?" she asks.

"Oh, he's tired. He's going to bed." I lie.

"Should I make some hot chocolate?" I quickly change the subject. Not waiting for her answer, I get up anyways and start making chocolate. When I'm finished, I take her cup to her and join her on the couch with my mug and we begin the movie. We sit in silence, watching the movie. Well she is. But I can't take my mind off the argument between Cody and I.

I just don't understand why he had to feel the need to protect me over this. Its understandable when it comes to Aaron, but Jordan wasn't a threat. I admit, he was acting pretty strange tonight, then again I haven't seen him in years so of course he changed. Cody doesn't have to jump in every matter. Why is he so scared to lose me? I've told him over and over that he meant everything to me. Does he not believe me? I just want to ask. I want to figure out what he believes and what he doesn't. But I don't want to appear weak. I don't want to go back in there and just blurt out every question I have. Now, was family time. So I'm not going to worry tonight... Or for now.

"Is everything okay Kayla?" my grandma pulls me from my thoughts.

"Yeah everything's okay." I fake a smile.

"Are you sure?" Were to close for me to be lying to her but I don't want to tell her all of the bad. I sigh, and think about what to say.

"Well. I feel like Cody can be to over protective. Every time I talk to another guy, he's always appearing by my side. Its like he doesn't trust me grandma. I don't know how to find out." I spill.

"Boys are confusing, hon. One thing I can tell you, is if he's acting that way, its because he's scared."

"Of what? I've reassured him so many times that I wouldn't leave him and its like he doesn't believe me when I say it."
