The Boy Next door

Chapter 13: Why me?

Me and Taylor fell asleep on the couch. He woke up before I did. I thought he was in the bathroom so I went and checked. He wasn't there. After I walked out of the bathroom Keisha's door was open a crack. I heard giggling in her room. She cant. He cant. They cant. Why? I busted open the door. They could...

-Me: ''WHAT THE HELL KEISHA! WE ARE IN A FUCKING RELATIONSHIP! YOU EVEN WANTED TO SAIL US!'' I said throwing my hand in the air.

-Keisha: ''Kennedy its not that it looks like!'' she said jumping off her bed.

-Taylor: ''Kennedy she's right it isn't.'' he said coming up to me trying to hold my hand. I stepped back and started yelling again.

-''IT SURE AS HELL LOOKS LIKE WHAT I THINK IT IS! YOU WERE HOLDING HER IN YOUR ARMS AND YOU TWO WERE KISSING!'' I said while looking down at the floor getting quitter. ''You two were kissing. You two were kissing.'' I said starting to cry.

-''Kennedy please I'm your best friend! He wasn't meaning to hold me, do you now see how small my bed is?!'' she said throwing her arm in the direction of her bed. She had a point. But he chose to sit on the bed with her.

-''THEN EXPLAIN THE KISSING! TAYLOR I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME! I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND! I thought.'' I said starting to leave the room. ''I'M SO STUPID TO THINK YOU LOVED ME!'' I said starting to punch myself in the head. ''I'm so stupid!''

Why wasn't Taylor saying anything? After I started hitting myself he was trying to make me stop. I pushed him off.

-''Babe, sto---.'' I wasn't going to let him finish.

-''Don't call me babe. YOU JUST FUCKING KISSED HER! HER!! MY BEST FUCKING FRIEND!'' I said as walking out of her room.

-Keisha: ''Kennedy stop. The kiss was my fault. You know I have a huge crush on him. I wasn't thinking and kissed him. After that I should've kicked him out but I wasn't thinking. I'm so sorry. It's my fault. I wont be mad if you hate me after this just don't be mad at Taylor. He did nothing but be nice to me. Don't hate him, hate me.'' she said while starting to cry.

-''Taylor, is she telling the truth. Should I hate her or hate you?'' I said walking back into the room. ''Taylor, answer the damn question before I make you take your cheating ass back to Indiana.'' I said, clinching my fist and talking through my teeth.

Taylor didn't answer after that so I decided to walk out of her room. Taylor got a tight grip on my arm, whipped me around, looking me dead in the eye. I couldn't get out of his eyes. he trance always got me. Next thing I knew was him kissing me. I tried to pull off but he wouldn't let me. Our mouths going in-sync. Once I broke it off Taylor started talking.

-Taylor: ''Do I love you. I would never cheat on you, but Keisha is lying. I kissed her in the moment. I wasn't expecting it. It didn't feel right. I should've left but I didn't. Hate me, not your best friend. I'll go back to your Grandma's and start packing. I love you. I really do.'' he said leaning into kiss me, but I refused. He left the room with Keisha following after him.

*KEISHA'S POV*

Shit. I knew Taylor would do that. I have to stop him from leaving. It really was me kissing him. I have to stop him so I ran after him.

-''TAYLOR!'' I said grabbing his arm and turning him around. His eyes were red and puffy. ''Go back in there and tell her the truth. You sure as hell know it was me. You were the one that broke it off, you stopped, you go and tell her the truth.'' I said starting to cry. Taylor pulled me in for a hug saying sorry. He left. Oh my god, Kennedy. This cant happen.

I walked back into my room telling her to leave and talk to Taylor, she took my orders and left. I walked her home and made sure Taylor was there and he was.

*TAYLOR'S POV*

Kennedy hates me now. I'm such a fuck up! When I was walking back to the house I stopped and sat under a tree holding my head in between my knees. I heard Kennedy ad Keisha walking towards me so I booked it back to her Grandma's house. Once Kennedy showed up I was in the room packing my things and looking for flight tickets for tomorrow early in the morning. I heard the door open and a little soft voice after that. Kennedy.

-''Taylor...'' she said in a whisper voice.

-''Don't worry I'm looking for flights early in the morning, I asked your dad to drive me there without explaining you don't have to be mad anymore. I'll leave you alone.'' I said without looking at her. I felt a little cold hand on my arm pulling me around slowly.

-''You don't have to do that. Just please tell me you didn't kiss her. Please.'' she said while looking down to the ground.

-''I don't want you to hate her. I'm taking the blame. It doesn't matter who kissed who, I'm taking the blame.'' I said tilting her head up looking into her eyes.

-''Taylor, please. I wont hate her, she told me she kissed you. I just need to know if it's the truth.'' she said starting to cry even harder. I couldn't stand seeing her like this, I had to tell her.

-''Yes she did kiss me, I broke it off. It didn't feel right at all, I love you and only you. She just has a crush, it's nothing. She knows I love you.'' I said pulling her in for a hug. She accepted.

-''K, I believe you. Just don't do that ever again, please. Promise me.'' she said into my chest.

-''Promise.''

After that we laid on the bed and before I knew it Kennedy fell asleep on my chest. This can never happen again. Ever.
