Will He Ever Be Mine?

Chapter Twelve

I admit for a few seconds I did kiss him back......... Okay, maybe for a few, a few minutes I kissed back. But then I came to my senses and pulled away. I looked at him, then looked away. "Why the heco would you do that Bryce?" I said as once again tears rolled down my cheek. I'm so tired of freaking crying. Especially over someone that keeps treating me like he does. He knows I hate mixed signals, and he does this. I just CAN'T with him right now.

"I wanted to see how you react. You reacted the way I wanted you to. I like you more than a friend Kelsey. The first time you told me to act like you didn't exist, I came to my senses. I realized that I have you and I don't need her." He put his finger under my chin and made me turn my face towards him. "I want to be with you Kelsey." He leaned in to kiss me again. This time I didn't kiss him back. I opened my eyes to see Michael at the door watching with hurt and anger in his eyes. I quickly pushed him away. "Michael-" I started but he put up his hand telling me to stop. "I don't even wanna hear it. I know what I did was wrong and I apologized for it. For you to do this Kelsey, you know what? Just forget it." He said walking out. I hopped out of the bed and ran after him. "Mikey! Mikey wait!" I said grabbing his arms. Seeing him cry broke my heart into a million pieces.

"Kelsey I'm going to ask you this one time and one time only. Did you kiss him back?" He asked. "No." It wasn't a complete lie. I heard a scoff behind me. "Yeaa, the second time you didn't." I heard Bryce say. My eyes widened and Michael looked at me with so much hurt. He pulled my hand off of his arm and walked away shaking his head. I called after him but he just ignored my calls. I turned to see Bryce smirking. I walked up to him and slapped him as hard as I could. "You just ruined my life! I hate you Bryce! Leave!" Even though that was a total lie I didn't care because I was so angry with him. He's turning into the male version of Yasmine.

I went back into my room and got in the bed with MiMi. I held her close to my body and silently cried. He just ruined MiMi's chance to have both her mom and dad together. When I first started dating Michael, I saw us getting married, having two or three kids, and having a good life. Now thanks to my so called best friend, that won't happen. I admit I do have feelings for Bryce, but I wouldn't hurt Nolen like that. I should have never let him kiss me.

"Kelsey I brought your clothes." I heard. I turned to see my mom and dad. My mom saw I was crying and rushed over to me. She sat on the edge of the bed and I sat up. "Baby what's wrong?" She asked as she handed the bag of clothes to my dad. She pulled me closer and that's when I lost it. I cried even harder. "Shh baby. Tell mama what's wrong." I calmed myself down as best as I could.

"Michael just came back into my life and I was so happy. I missed him so much like you don't understand. Then one day I got a picture that was sent from an unknown number. It was him and Yasmine kissing. I was soo angry, and I felt as though Bryce should know. I went to his house and showed him the picture. He accused me of photoshopping it. I became angry at him, and I walked out of the house. That just so happened to be the day as Yasmine hit us. Before you got here, Micha was here, then Bryce and Yasmine walked in. Bryce was talking about how he wanted us to apologize to each other. I had nothing to apologize about and I explained that to them. Michael had left the room so he wouldn't be a part of the drama. Next thing I know, I'm telling Bryce to forget I exist. He told Yasmine something and she walked out and it was just us. He started saying stuff like he wants me and he likes me more than a friend. I'm not gonna lie, I do have feelings for Bryce, always have. But I didn't want our friendship to be ruined. Plus I still love Michael ... at least I think I do. Next thing I know, he kissed me. For a few minutes I kissed back, but Michael popped in my head and I pushed Bryce away. I told him to leave but he didn't. Instead he kissed me again. This time I didn't kiss back. Michael was standing at the door and saw the second kiss. He walked out and I chased after him. He asked did I kiss him back and I said no. I mean, it wasn't completely a lie. Before he could say anything, Bryce told him I did kiss him back.. the first time. I told him to leave and that I hate him. I didn't mean it but I was mad. He's becoming the male version of Yasmine and I hate it." I said and cried on her shoulder. My mom rubbed my back. "It's three. How about you go wash yourself up and we go. Your daddy can watch after MiMi. I already signed your release papers." She said standing up. "But dad is supposed to take me phone shopping and I don't want to be away from MiMi too long." I said. "Okay, well y'all go out and I'll stay here. You just need some fresh air." My mom said and we looked over at my dad. His eyebrows were furrowed like he was in deep thought. I grabbed the clothes from my mom and walked into the bathroom. A washcloth, a towel, and soap was in the bag. I smiled to myself. My mom always thinks of everything. I did what I needed and finished getting dressed. I walked out to see my mom and dad watching Family Feud, and MiMi still sleep.
