The Boy Next door

Chapter 22: forgive and forget?

After that whole date gone wrong crap last night, I woke up in my room. I heard a little white noise knock. Who is it? Shelby and Hayes are downstairs and it's 6:30. They wouldn't be awake. They're 13. Yes 13. They sleep a lot. I got up to go to my door, but first I grabbed a defense weapon. A pencil.... Really.... Anyways, I went to the door and peaked out of the crack before flinging the door open. I didn't see who it was until I threw it open.

"IM GOING TO KI-" Taylor... Why is he here?!

"KENNEDY ITS TAYLOR CALM DOWN!!!"

"Taylor what the hell?! My front door is locked!" I said sighing in relief.

"I texted Shelby last night after I left and I stayed here... On the couch of corse. I hope you don't mind.. I'm just really dumb and it didn't think last night. I can't lose you Kennedy."

"Taylor, it's fine. I don't mind, but you fucked up bad last night. We can talk later. You can stay till then. I'm going back to bed." I said closing my door

"No. We need to talk... Now. I miss you. I know it's been like 10 hours but I miss you. I miss your tiny little hands in mine, your sweet, soft lips on mine, your little breaths when you sleep on my chest, your beautiful eyes. I miss you." He said starting to tear up. Whoah. He likes all those small unimportant things about me? i stood there for a split second then couldn't stand it anymore. I hugged Taylor as tight as I could. "Your little body is cold, go lay back down." Aww. Stop. Nope. He's coming to cuddle with you. Deal with it Kennedy. You like him. A lot obviously. God. Myself is dumb, yet I always listen to it.

"Come lay down with my little body?" Dammit. That slipped. But I can't be mad at him. After what he said, there's no chance I could be.

"Yea. Your little body could get sick, then it would get me sick, then our bodies would be sick and that wouldn't be fun now would it?" He asked as if he was a health teacher.

"Okay, Mr. Caniff. I'll get warm so I don't get sick." I said pulling him over to my bed. I laid my heD on his chest like always. I missed him too. Everything is back to normal now. I know I sound like a hoe, but what he said, has never been said to me. Not even by John. We dated for two and a half years, yet he never said anything like this. I couldn't lose Taylor either, I just didn't want to make the wrong decision.

~~~~4 hours later~~~~

"KENNEDY THERES A FIRE IN THE HOUSE AND HAYES WONT WAKE UP!!!!" Shelby yelled busting through my door.

"TAYLOR CALL 911!!! SHELBY TRY AGAIN TO GET HAYES UP!!! MY DADS GOING TO FLIP IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO US!!!" I yelled trying to get Taylor up too.

"I'm just kidding ya. Haha. Well Hayes wants to make me food but doesn't want to burn the house down haha. Well yea. Wake up so you can make me food, cause you love me. Oh! And your dad forgot to tell you because it's not honestly a big deal but he's leaving for the week for business." She said walking out.

"Shelby, I hate you. And I'll make you food whatever but my dad hasn't been home forever huh? Oh wait no know I remember. He came in like 2 nights ago saying he was leaving. We don't talk cause you guys are always over haha. But it's nothing. And thanks for reminding me." I said, still pissed. Taylor finally woke up.

"Wait, there's a fire? Hmm. Is it bad? I don't smell anything burning. And you haven't talked to your dad... Why?" He wasn't scared at all.

"You dude. She said it's cause we are always here. Haha. Loser." And with that Shelby walked out.

"OHH. Okay. I won't come here anymore then." He said getting out of bed.

"No, my little body will get sick. And haha my dad is mostly on the phone so it's nothing really. We talk a lot more then you think haha. We always watch volleyball cause I used to play, football whenever there's something related to it, and movies. He's just leaving for the week. No biggy. now let's go make the children food." I said getting up.

"Okay. Want me to stay here for the week?"

"Sure."

We went downstairs and made them food. Pancakes. Yumm :).
