Crossing The Line

Chapter Twelve

Kelley's POV

My heart was racing. I didn't think she would find out. I didn't think that she would look back under her desk to get that piece of paper.

I took a deep breath and tried to process everything. I couldn't lie to this girl but if I told her then everything would be ruined. She would no longer trust me.

"Me."

"What?" Morgan asked as I stared into her eyes. My heart was racing.

"I went to your house because you wouldn't return your calls and I was worried... " I say nervously. I shouldn't be nervous though, Morgan was five years younger than me but she intimidated me.

Morgan stayed silent. She just nodded as she began turning away but I grabbed her arm.

"Morgan..."

"I'm sorry."

"Why?" I ask and finally she looked back into my eyes. I wanted to look away but I couldn't.

"What I... wrote. It was nothing." Morgan said as she shrugged her shoulders. I wanted to tell her that I felt the same way. I wanted to tell her that I thought she was beautiful too and that I couldn't keep my eyes off of her.

"I'm not mad." I say.

"You're not?" Morgan asked and I could tell that she felt less tension.

"I'm not... if writing stuff down helps you then go ahead. I'm sorry that I read it and went inside your house without your approval. It was way out of line." I say as I run my hand through my hair.

"Do you want to keep it?" I ask but Morgan shakes her head no.

"You're different, Coach O'Hara." Morgan says and the smallest smile appeared on her face. It was the first time I've seen her smile in a while and it was... relieving.

"Do you need a ride home?" I ask as I open my car door.

"I can walk." Morgan simply states but I didn't want to let her. Being around her made me happy.

"C'mon I'll take you home." I say with a smile and finally, Morgan nodded. She sat in the front passenger seat and I began to drive her home.

"Coach O'Hara-"

"Kelley." I say with a smile as I look over at her.

"Kelley, I want you to know that I meant everything I said on that paper." Morgan says as I pull up in her driveway.

I didn't know how to respond. Morgan thought I was beautiful, she wanted to be with me. But I didn't know what to do. I had a boyfriend and this entire time I found myself more attracted to someone else and that someone was Morgan Brian.

The girl sitting next to me in the car.

"I know." Is all I say. Like earlier, a small smile appeared on Morgan's face as she waved good bye and walked into her house that was empty.

I let out a sigh as I drove back home. I let out another sigh when I see that another car was parked in the driveway. It was my boyfriend, Logan who just came home from a soccer tournament.

I walked inside my house and saw Logan sitting at the kitchen table. When he saw me a smile appeared on his face as he grabbed me by the waist and kissed me on the lips.

"Hey, babe." He says once he pulls away.

"Hey." I say as I force a smile. Since he left I had already developed feelings towards Morgan. I felt nothing when I was around him because I was falling head over heels for Morgan.

It was almost dangerous.

"How's your tournament?" I ask as I pull away from him as he follows me towards the couch.

"Could have been better if you were with me." He says as he pulls me towards him. I felt uncomfortable and it was weird because I never felt this way whenever I was around him.

Today just felt different. It was because of Morgan. Instead of Logan I wanted Morgan.

It was crazy how much can change in a short amount of time. I knew that I was falling for Morgan Brian but I was afraid. I was afraid because of Logan, what is he going to think?

I was afraid because Morgan was a fragile girl and I didn't want to hurt her and break her heart. I didn't want to be the reason why she was upset all the time.

I wanted to be the reason why Morgan Brian smiled.
