Love Sucks! Until I Met You.

Chapter 12 - Mixed Signals

Kris's POV

I feel myself being weightless and all I see is black. I remembered the way Hayden was avoiding me. I didn't understand why though. He's always been trying to get me to fall over him like the other sluts at our school. I felt a strong pain in my heart when he shut me off.

"Hayden. Please. Please don't ignore me. Please don't leave me alone." I say to his disappearing figure. By now I'm already crying.

"Why can't you just see that I love you." I hear his smooth voice filled with the same pain as mine.

"I love you too. Just please don't leave me." I say into blackness.

"I will never leave you." I hear the voice in a fading whisper.

When I wake up I expect me to be in Charley because that's when I fell asleep.

*Flashback- In Charley*

"Hayden."

"Let's just go."

"No Hayden why are you being like this? Why are you pushing me away all of a sudden?" I ask looking straight at him.

"It doesn't matter." he said without emotion.

"Damn it! Of course it matters. You are always there for me and kind and reliable but now your acting like an asshole." I say on the verge of tears.

"I lo- I mean I don't want to talk about it." he says and I look out the window so he can't see me cry.

"Kris."

"No. I'm fine." I protest only wanting him to hug me like he usually does when I'm upset.

"Come here." he says softly and I notice that were in his front yard. I just stay where I am not looking at him because I know I'll give in.

"Kris please." he said pleadingly "Come here." he whispers

I shut my eyes tight and I hear some shuffling. Then I feel his strong arms wrap around me perfectly. I cry even more. He pulls me onto his lap and holds me close. I curl up to his warm chest and his arms are securely around me. He only holds me. He doesn't say anything to make it better. I see the darkness setting in.

*End of flashback*

When I open my eyes I see Hayden's smooth chest rising and falling. His legs are intertwined with mine and his arms wrapped around my waist tightly. I wish I could stay here forever. I kiss his chest and snuggle in closer.

"I'm sorry for whatever I did to make you hate me." I say drifting back to oblivion.

Hayden's POV

"Hayden. Please. Please don't ignore me. Please don't leave me alone." Kris says in her sleep.

"Why can't you just see that I love you." I say as though she can hear me. It hurts to know she doesn't feel the same way.

"I love you too. Just please don't leave me." she says and I'm only happy for a moment. I know she is dreaming so she can't mean it. Right?

"I will never leave you." I whisper as I bring her inside. I carry her up to my bedroom a lay her down. I lay down beside her and pull her close. I shut my eyes and try to go to sleep. I feel her kiss my chest and move closer. Her sweet voice made its way to my ears.

"I'm sorry for whatever I did to make you hate me."

This hurt. This hurt so much. I could never hate the girl I love. When she rejected me for Daniel it hurt.

In the morning I decided that I would stop being an ass and start getting her back. I want her to love me. As much or more than I love her if that's even possible.
