I didn't even get anything else done that. That is how mad I was at Justin. I couldn't even believe he right now. He doesn't even know me well enough to tell me who I can and cannot go on dates with. Maybe I did want to go on a date with Derrick that way I could forget about my past. But what was up with Justin saying I couldn't go on a date with him. When people say I can't do it anyway. I know it pisses people off and that is why I do. I went to bed that night just thinking of why Justin told me not to. Does he have feelings for me? If so I don't know if I feel the same way. He kinda reminds me of Tristen a little. Why would I feel that way towards him? But when I went to bed I couldn't get Justin off my mind. When I woke up in the morning I had my phone in my hand ready to call Justin and apologize. I just kept looking at his name in my phone questioning whether or not to call him. It feels like a life or death situation right now. My finger is so close to the call button but I couldn't get myself to do it. God someone shoot my right now to end my desicion.

I put my phone down on the bedside table and walked over to the bathroom. Let's just get this day over with. Sooner or later I would have to face reality. I chose sooner rather than later. I took a quick shower and put on some mini shorts and an oversized sweatshirt. I put my hair up in a messy bun. Grabbed my bag with everything in it and went to the cafe down the street.

I entered the cafe and saw Derrick sitting at a table by himself. Maybe I should walk over there and tell him I would be going on a date with him. Ordering my coffee I looked over at Derrick and noticed he was staring at me. He waved me over which I happily walked over to him. Sitting down I saw Justin starring at me. I just smirked and focused my attention on Derrick. "So did you think about it?"

"Actually I did and I would love to go on a date with you."

"Good now we need to discuss how we will be matching. All I am going to wear is a black tux with a black tie. I don't care what color dress you wear. You will look stunning anyway."

I blushed. "So when is this date going to be?"

"It's in two days. I will pick you up at noon and we will go from there."

"That sounds great I will see you then." Getting up from the table ready to go buy a dress.

"What if I need to talk to you before that?" He yelled.

"You have my number remember." I said while laughing. I turned to see Justin still staring at me. Why is he so immature. Let's just go buy a dress and a bunch of other clothes.

---------------------------------------------------

Let's see I bought a lot of sweaters, mini shorts, jeans, and a whole bunch of other stuff. But I still don't have a dress. The whole point of shopping was to buy a dress but I guess it didn't go as planned. Well I guess I need to go buy a dress for this date. I walk down the street and pass by this cute, little store. It had a lot of dresses, heels, and a whole lot of other stuff. Well I am definitely going to find everything I need in there. Walking in the store I am amazed of how many cute dresses there are. Well let's get started.

I grab as many dresses that my arms could hold. Walked to one of the dressing rooms and started changing into some dresses. None of the dresses that I picked looked good on me. They were really pretty dresses when I picked them out but they just don't look good on me. Then again nothing looks good on me. So I guess I need to find another dress for this dress. I walk around the store looking for the perfect dress. All I could find are colorful dresses that would make me stand out. And I didn't want that at all. I couldn't find one single dress in this entire store that would suit me. But there has to be something in this store that suits me. I will just go to the very back and find something. And lucky enough there was this gorgeous cream color dress. It was plain and I loved it. All it need was some accessories to go with it. I found a light mint color necklace that had flowers on it. And I know I got some heels at home that would go perfectly with this dress. I head to the cash register and buy the dress and the necklace. And then I head home.

I make my way home and see Justin's car in my driveway. He is the last person I want to talk to. I grab all the bags of clothes and walk in the house. I see Justin moving some furniture. I just continue walking upstairs to my room. I can't even deal with him right now. I'm just going to put everything away in my closet and get on with the day. I make it to my room and drop all my bags on the floor. I look at all the bags and think to myself this is going to be awhile. I walk towards my closet and get started.

---------------------------------------------

Two hours later and I'm done. After I finish putting everything away in my closet I cleaned up my room. That's why it took so long. I need a shower so badly it's not even funny. I strip out of my clothes and hop into the shower. The water hitting my skin felt so good. It felt so good to finally be alone for once. Nobody bothering me what so ever. I wish I could stay like this forever. I always think in here about everything, maybe a little to much. I over think things and they are either worse or better in the end.

Stepping out if the shower steam follows me. I wrap myself in a towel and make my way out of the bathroom. I glance at the clock and notice it is almost midnight. Man I took one long shower. Then change into an oversized t-shirt and take a look out the window. Justin's truck is still here at this late of the day. Let's see if he is still downstairs. I walk downstairs and see him passed out on the coach without a shirt on. Oh good lord! I have to turn away immediately before I begin to drule. But he looks so uncomfortable on the coach. I sighed and looked around the room. It was completely done from head to toe. I couldn't believe he did all of this for me the entire day. It just made me feel guilty about the way I told him to get out. Like I wasn't being a true friend towards him. I need to just hear people out instead of pushing people away in the beginning. I shake Justin in hoping to wake him up. "Justin wake up."

He slowly opens his eyes and looks at me. "Kyndall? Ugh, what time is it?"

"It's around midnight. You can stay here if you would like. I don't have a guest bedroom but you could just sleep in my bed. While I take the coach."

"Kyndall I'll take the-"

"Don't! I was rude to you for kicking you out of my house. And I want you to take the bedroom because of my rudeness. Now no questioning it, go up and sleep on my bed."

"Fine but if you feel uncomfortable I want you to come upstairs and take the bed."

"Alright, alright." I said shooing him off. I watched him go up the stairs then I turned around to the coach. Well this is what I get for being rude to him. I guess I will just try and make the most out of it. I grab a blanket out of the closet and lay down in the coach. I close my eyes and try to go to sleep.

Key word is try because I have been tossing and turning all night. Well at least for 15 minutes, I just couldn't fall asleep on this coach. But I was rude to Justin and this what I get. Maybe a different pillow would help me fall asleep. But the other pillows are in my room and I don't want to wake Justin. God why is life so hard. I will try not to wake Justin up.

I walk upstairs and stand in front of my bedroom door. Still debating on whether I should go in or not. Just get it over with I keep telling myself. Push open the door and enter the room. I see Justin sleeping in my bed. I look over to my closet and see a pillow on the top shelf. Alright all I have to do is get the pillow and get out without waking Justin. It shouldn't be that hard. I think?

I tip-toe over to my closet to get the pillow. Try to be as quiet as possible but it wasn't working. The floors were squeaking whenever I walked. But I made it over to the pillow quickly. I grabbed the pillow and was about ready to walk out the door till, "Kyndall?" Justin said while yawning. I turned around to look at him. "Couldn't sleep could you?" He asked.

"No I couldn't. But don't worry I will be fine." I'm about ready to close the door.

"Kyndall just come over here and stay with me for the night. I promise I won't make any moves on you. It's just I can't let you stay awake all night because of me. Just sleep over here and sleep."

I smiled and walked over to the bed. Slid in next to Justin and closed my eyes, "Goodnight Justin."

"Goodnight Kyndall." I fell asleep that night with smile on my face.
