Kelley's POV
Heartbreak. It was the only thing I felt. The kind of pain that I was feeling right now didn't come from an argument with a friend or a special someone, it simply came from love and I never felt this with Logan. Never. Which made me realize that Morgan was right.
I knew she had an incredibly hard time trusting people and for her to let me in her life and having her tell me things she has never told anyone before says something about her. But I was too oblivious to see that she really needed me. Not just as a friend, more than that.
She wanted me to love her but the thing is, all I've ever done was love her and I couldn't love anyone else. It was just impossible and I didn't know until now how powerful love can be.
I was never into girls my entire life until I met Morgan because she was different and I was so attached to her that all these feelings developed and I just can't get rid of them, no matter how hard I tried.
Logan and I were heading to my hometown to meet with my parents to talk about wedding planning and the thought of it made me want to throw up.
"Are you okay?" Logan asks me as he reaches over the console and grabs my hand.
"Fine." I say as I manage to force a smile. I looked down at the ring on my finger and to me it felt like a knife stabbing through me. It didn't belong there, it never will.
We got to Peachtree City where I grew up and together we walked into the house I grew up in.
"Oh how lovely to see you both!" My mom exclaims as she gives us both a hug and a kiss. Seconds later my dad walks in to greet us and I was even surprised when I saw my older sister Erin appear.
"It's been too long sister." She says as she wraps me into a hug.
"Logan, dear. Why don't you have something to eat. I bet your future wife and sister-in-law have a lot of catching up to do." My mom says with a wink and I just roll my eyes. Erin pulls me up to her old room and we sit on her bed.
"You're getting married!" She squeals in excitement.
"Yeah." I say as I scratch the back of my head. I tried showing excitement but I just couldn't. It's gotten to the point where I couldn't even fake it.
"Okay, why am I more excited than you?" Erin asked me.
"I am excited." I lie as I force a smile. Erin searches my eyes and I just stare back into the same hazel eyes that I have.
"Something is wrong, what is it?" She asks me and I see the concern in her eyes as she grabs both of my hands and holds them in hers.
"Erin... I don't love him." I finally say feeling tears starting to roll down my cheek.
"Kels... what is this about? Did he hurt you? Did he force you into this?" Erin asked me and she only squeezed my hands tighter.
"No, he didn't do anything. It's me... I think I'm in love with someone else." I whisper to her. I watch her eyes widen but she keeps herself together.
"Who is the mystery man and how long?" Erin asked.
"It's not a man, it's a girl. And I don't want you to hate me for this." I say with my head down. I felt uneasy, what if she didn't accept me for who I was?
"Are you crazy? I support you no matter what it is! Who is this girl then?" She asks and I was surprised when I saw how anxious she was to hear what I have to say.
"Her name is Morgan Brian... she's 23 and she's one of my soccer players." I whisper, making sure no one was listening except Erin.
"23? That's quite young for you Kels."
"I know but you have know idea how much I care about her. I can't say I'm in love with her but I do know that I love her and I care about her. And she's the one person that I want to be with."
"Then be with her." Erin says with an encouraging smile.
"I can't... what about mom and dad, and Logan? And if someone were to see me and Morgan together I can lose my job." I say and I was on the verge of tears before my sister wrapped me into a hug.
"Kelley, if you feel nothing but love and happiness with this girl then be with her. Break the rules if it means that you're both happy. Until then, go get your girl." Erin says with a smile.
"Erin... thank you." I say, wrapping her into another hug. I started heading towards the door and when I opened it I stopped dead in my tracks. Logan stood at the door and I was ready to throw up.
"Logan I-"
"I heard it all, you have no explaining to do. All I've ever done was love you and you dropped everything once and then you decide to be with me again so you can forget about the person you really loved." He says as he looks down at the floor
"Logan..."
"It's over, okay? I'm done with you because I feel like I was only being used." I didn't have to say anything after that. We left my parents house immediately after that. He dropped me off to my house and before he pulled out of my driveway he rolled down his window.
"Delete my number, I don't want to hear from you ever again." He says and with that he was gone. Even if I didn't love him I still felt so much pain from the words he said. Tears ran down my cheeks as I climbed into my car and realized what day it was.
I went to the place I knew I can go.
