Stalker 1O1 (Watty's 2016)

Chapter Eighteen

"I can't believe you're actually leaving me alone with cousin Annie on thanksgiving," Cassie cries. I chuckle as I pack the last of my stuff into the duffle bag. "Its not funny Connor, you know I can't stand her. She's going to want to meet Carson while she's here," she complains. "That sounds like a personal problem," I snort.

"I hate you," she cries and falls back on my bed. I sigh. "Look, if she's getting a bit too much to handle, just call me and I'll come back okay? I'm only going to be gone for two days," I say.

"Two very long days," she sighs. "You're right about the long part," I mutter remembering the night of the party.

I kissed Leah, she kissed me back.

That kiss was the best thing that happened to me in a very long time. However girly I might sound, I knew I wanted more. I wanted to see her, be able to talk to her, tell her how I feel.

But obviously couldn't.

After she realized what she'd done, she literally sprinted out my house. I was still a bit buzzed from the alcohol but I knew that she regretted it. And that hurt.

A week had past since and she avoided me like the plague.

I missed her. We were still getting close and I hated the fact that I'd jeopardized everything after being warned not to.

"Everything's going to be fine Connor," Cassie tells me. "She hasn't returned any of my calls or messages. I'm going crazy," I tell her.

"I can't believe you kissed her specifically after I told you not to," she shakes her head. "Hey, stop rubbing salt on my wounded heart," I fake cry.

"You're such a girl," she hits me playfully.

Another thing that was driving me crazy was the fact that stalker chick had gone M.I.A. I figured they would've have something to say about the kiss but there was nothing.

Zilch. Nada.

And this silence only scared me, because I know something was bound to happen.

I'm just a bit happy that Leah hasn't backed out of the plan yet. And Logan wasn't aware. I wanted to keep it that way.

"Are you thinking about her?" Cassie asks me pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah," I admit.

"Hey," she smiles. "This trip won't be bad. I can feel it," she says.

"Really?"

"Really. If you guys get the chance to talk, just hear her out okay? You don't what she's probably going through. She's surely guilty for starters," Cassie explains.

I feel a pang of guilt hit me at her words.

I stand in front of her door contemplating on whether I should go in or no.

I didn't know how to tell her.

I'd kissed someone who wasn't her and the worst part was that I liked it. I liked kissing Summer. And I didn't feel even a little guilty.

I figured after I'd tell her what I'd done she'll want to break up with me. Then maybe I could get together with Summer.

I finally knocked on her door and few minutes later the door swung open.

"Connor?" She smiles and gives me a quick peck. "I didn't know you were coming over."

"Yeah – I was in the neighborhood. I was hoping we could talk," I tell her.

"Sure, what's up? She asks me walking into her kitchen.

"Where are your parents?"
