Can't Get Over You

Invisible

Ch. 2

Caleb's POV

KK seems really upset lately. Usually she's the one cheering us all up, but for some reason she's really sad. She's been avoiding the guys and I for two whole days now. I wonder what's wrong? I lean over and tap Alan's shoulder, "Hey, have you noticed that KK has been distraught lately?" Alan thought for a moment then answered.

"Now that I think about it, yeah she's seems really upset. I haven't seen her in a while either."

"Is it okay if I go over to her house and see how she's feeling?" Alan nods and I get up and go out towards my car. I pull out my phone shoot her a text.

Me: Hey, I'm coming over. She replied almost immediately.

KK: No, that's ok. I'm not feeling well and I don't want you to get what I have.

Me: If you're feeling bad that is more of a reason to come over.

KK: No, Caleb, you don't have to. Just hang out with the guys. Why is she trying to keep me from coming? That's not like her.

Me: But me and the guys miss you. Ok I'll stay here. Of course, I was lying. There is no way that I'm letting my best friend be sick and all alone. Getting in my car, I took out my keys and started the engine. It roared to life. I drove to KK's house, which felt like forever since I wish I could be at her side right now making her feel better.

When I finally got there, I hesitated before walking up to the door. Should I really bother her? She didn't want me here and I lied to her saying that I wasn't coming. I finally decided that helping her was more important than what she wanted me to do. I knocked on the door. No answer. I knocked again. No answer. I rang the doorbell and finally KK opened the door. "I don't want anything you're.... Oh Caleb! I'm sorry. I thought you were a salesperson. Not to be rude but why are you here?" I studied her face. Her eyes were bloodshot and puffy. Her face was blotchy and she had tear stains running down her cheeks.

"Were you crying?" I asked looking her directly in her hazel eyes brimming with tears.

"Um... yeah I was just watching a really sad movie." Her gaze dropped and I saw big tears splash onto the ground.

"Kelly you know I know you better than that. You never cry at movies no matter how sad they are."

"Well this time, I did!" She screamed at me as she stormed into her house. She collapsed onto the couch and started bawling. I walked in and noticed that the TV wasn't even on. I sat on the couch next to her and drew her into a hug. She cried into my shoulder and I rubbed her back and told it was okay.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come. I just wanted to know why you're so sad or what you're sick with. I'll leave if you want me to." I started to get up but she hugged me tighter.

"No, stay. Don't leave me. I need you." She managed to get out between sobs. I sat back down and let her soak my shirt with her tears. When she slowed down her crying, she told what happened. "First off, I'm not sick unless you count a broken heart as sickness. Dylan broke up with me." Tears started rolling down her cheeks again but she kept talking, "Am I just not worth it enough that he had to break up with me over the phone. Did the year I gave him mean nothing?" She started crying again and I just held her.

"I'm so, so sorry, KK." I thought for a second before I said anything. "Don't think you're not worth anything because you so are. You're funny, smart and the most smiley person I've ever met. You're outgoing and talented in so many areas. I know it may sound cliché but the world seems so much brighter with you in it. Your beauty surpasses so many other girls because you're not only beautiful on the outside but your beauty goes straight to your heart. Dylan is going to regret losing such a fantastic girl." KK looked up into my eyes.
