His lips crashed onto mine and I felt a strange sensation on my lips, almost as if they were tingling as I closed my eyes and returned the kiss.

As realization hit me, I immediately pulled away.

To say I was shocked was an understatement. I was aghast.

I stared at Mason wide-eyed, my facade was back. I wiped away my tears angrily.

"I'm so sorry" He apologized.

"I should go" I muttered, leaving his room. I remembered that it was pouring rain.

"Shit" I cussed under my breath. I heard footsteps behind me, but I didn't have to turn around to know it was a smirking Mason.

"Need a ride?" I gave him a cold glare. He took that as a yes, and unfortunately we had to go by his Lambo instead of his Motorbike.

The ride home was awkward. Tension filled the air, and none of us dared to break the silence. The radio was off, which made it even more awkward. When he pulled into our driveway, I opened the door, but Mason stopped me.

"Look, I'm sorry about today. I shouldn't have let you stay alone at that party and I shouldn't have kissed you." He apologized. I gotta admit, he sounded honest, which made a small part in me want to give in.

"Apologizing doesn't change anything."

"I know, but I just wanted you to know that the kiss was a mistake, and it won't happen again unless you want it to"

"Look, I don't know why the hell are you talking to me, can't you see I'm nothing but bad news?" He seemed slightly hurt by what I said.

"Don't say that" He whispered.

"Can't you see I'm not normal? And I will never be" I shot back.

"Maybe that's what makes me want to talk to you. You are not like the others. You don't worship the ground I walk on and you don't seem to have a care in the world. Can't you see? Different is good."

Before I could reply, my phone started ringing.

"Hello?" I spoke.

"Kelly baby" My heart sank in my chest. It was the voice I could never overlook.

"What do you want?" It came out cold and controlled.

"I miss you Kelly, we miss you." She slurred. Was she drunk?

"Yeah right." I muttered. "Are you drunk?"

She giggled like a little kid. "Maybe."

"Mom, just go back to drinking with Asher" I spat, ending the call. I flinched at the thought of her, drunk off her ass, with her 'boyfriend'. Those images never seem to fade away from my mind.

"Something wrong?" Mason asked. I forgot he was sitting there, and heard everything I said.

"No, it's nothing" I could feel my facade fading away but I struggled to keep it there.

"You sure?" He sounded genuinely concerned. We kept staring at each other for a while, and I was afraid he could see past my facade.

The next thing I did was something I never expected myself to do. I hugged Mason Allen. I wrapped my arms around him and he hugged back. Calmness washed over my body.
