Chapter 12: Goodbye Then

"Rebecca!" My mum greets me with a hug. She wore her normal attire - a perfectly ironed dress with matching heels and he hair dyed blonde hair perfectly straightened. "Mum." I hug her back.

"Look at your state. You look awful!" She remarks. "Let's get you home and cleaned up! My poor baby, you must've had it rough."

"Mum I'm not a baby and stop treating me like one!" I roll her eyes and follow her to her car.

I went straight to my room when we arrived at our cute little house but just big enough for my mum, my older brother Louis and me. The perfect family.. No one knew what happened inside the house. My mothers unreasonable expectations, she's not bad all the time though. My brothers no longer teen and not yet an 'adult' issues and the drama. But for everyone outside the house we were the perfect family.

I got cleaned up and got into my pyjamas, even though it was only noon I had no plans except just to sleep. Oh how I missed my room, my bed when i got in it.

My eyes shut close when my door slammed open. "Rebecca! get up this is no time for sleeping!" My mother enters the room and plus back the curtains. "Mother please! I'm exhausted!" I burry my face under the blankets, hiding from the light.

"This is Important!" She hands me the opened envelope with my name written on it. I sit up on my bed. "You opened my mail?" I raise my eyebrow. "I'm your mother." She states. "Yeah that doesn't give you the write to open the mail."

"Rebecca don't argue with me!" She says sternly. "Just read your letter."

I let out a sigh and open the letter.

'Congratulations Ms. Rebecca Jones, you have been accepted at University of Chicago...'

I jump out of bed and squeal while jumping around my room with all my tiredness gone. "What's all the screaming about?" Louis leans against the door frame.

"Your sister got accepted to university of Chicago." My mother says proudly. "On a full scholarship. You should learn from her."

"And there's my exist. Congrats sis." He says before heading back to his room.

"I'm proud of you honey." She gives me a hug. "Get some rest and we'll go for a celebratory dinner." She closes the door on her way out.

I climb back into bed and reread the letter then flip through the booklet.

I could stay at the dorms I look at the pictures.. But I'm not up for sharing a room. Maybe a frat house. No I rethink. I could get my own apartment with the cash in my savings account. But for the time being I need a place. Maybe with Kendall. Before I could stop myself my mind travels back to this morning.

The silent drive to the airport in Kendall's vintage but new car felt like hours even though it was only a twenty minute ride.

With out saying a word Kendall opens my door and leads me inside the airport.

"Thank you for letting me stay at your place and.. yeah." Not sure what else to say besides how quickly his mood changed. Kendall gives a slight nod.

"So this is goodbye then." I look at my feet. "Yea bye." He stood in front of me with both his hands in his pockets. "Bye then." I look up at him and give him a little smile before turning around and walking off. With some kind of hope inside me.

"Rebecca." Kendall wraps his hands around my arm and spins me around. He grabs my chin with his index finger and thumb and makes me look up at him. Without saying anything his lips crashes into mine. I fight against my will and kiss him back savouring each moment.

"I- I.." Kendall looks for words after we pull out of the kiss. Before Kendall said anything I reached up to his face and placed a kiss on his cheek. "I'll miss you.." I say my head against Kendall's chest while our arms warped around each other. "Me too, you're moving next semester aren't you?" Kendall hold my shoulders and pulls me out of the hug. "I haven't gotten my acceptance letter -"

"Heey!!" I get interrupted by a girl tapping on Kendall's shoulder. He looks at her with a confused expression. "It's me Mona. Remember?" She says. "Of course you don't! This might ring a bell." She reached up to Kendall's ear and whispers something making Kendall snicker. "Aw is she your sister?" The black haired girl points at me. "No!" Kendall and I say together. "Ohh.." she purses her dark red lips.

At that point it was my last call for my flight. I can't miss this one. "Well I better get going." I go in for a hug but Kendall stops me by giving me a little wave. "Cyah." He simply states.

What was all that. What happened? I try to put my head around all this. I can't be falling for Kendall! I don't want to be a part of his sick little game. He literally had a different girl every night. How can I even think about him and I together? And that kiss it probably meant nothing to him.. not probably it defiantly didn't. How could be so stupid! I'm in a relationship with Zayn well I think I am. I haven't heard a word from him. I don't know what's happening! I decide to call Hannah but instead I drifted off to sleep.
