Chapter 32
Drew's POV
The car ride home was awful. It was honestly worse than before in the hotel room, because now, you were stuck with each other. "Uhm.. Drew?"
You glanced at Kylie and nodded your head. "Yeah?"
She took a while to answer, like she was thinking about it. "Can you take me to Stella's place instead? I mean.. I don't want my dad to, get worried. Or uhm, doubt us in some way."
Take her to Stella's place? So her dad wouldn't find out. Yeah that did sound like a decent idea. "Yeah of course." you mumbled, and started driving to Stella's place.
Kylie's POV:
"Thanks for the ride."
You looked over at Drew, and you knew that this whole situation was hurting him. And honestly you felt awful. You needed to talk to someone about it, and Stella was just the person you needed to talk to.
"You're welcome." he said and smiled faintly. He put his hand on your thigh and kissed your lips. You tensed at first, but relaxed and pecked his lips.
After all he was your boyfriend. You didn't have the heart to reject his kisses. "Happy birthday baby." he mumbled, and kissed you again.
All you could do was smile.
"Now go, before she gets worried."
You nodded your head and got out of the car. "I'll text you tomorrow okay?" He raised his hand as a goodbye. "Oh.. Okay." you mumbled, and walked up to the house.
You didn't even have to knock on the door because she had seen you coming. The door flung open and she embraced you in her arms. "I got your text." she said quickly. "Let's go inside."
Luckily her parents weren't home. They were out on a date somewhere and wouldn't come back until the next morning. "Kylie what happened?" she asked, as you reached the living room. You sat down on the couch and closed your eyes. "I.. Uhm.. Need to tell you something."
She made herself comfortable and looked at you. "I'm all yours."
"Okay so do you remember that time at the restaurant?" you started, terrified of actually telling the story, for the first time.
"Of course I do. That's the first time I actually met you. You had such bad cramps that day.."
You cut her off. "No."
Stella raised her eyebrows. "What do you mean no? Kylie I saw you, you were crying your eyes out."
You took a few deep breaths and looked up. "Cramps weren't the reason why I cried. Honestly, I wasn't even on my period."
Her face had confusion written all over it, and you knew there wasn't any turning back now. It's now or never. "Stella.. It.. It's.. Uhm." you started. "I cried because Justin fingered me under the table, and I didn't want him to. And ever since, he's been on my ass and I'm terrified of him."
The words came out so fast, and they were mixed with cries and sobs and honestly you wouldn't be surprised if she didn't get any of it.
She just sat there with her mouth opened. "He.. He did what?"
You nodded your head and tears were streaming down your face.
Stella pulled you into his arms. "Why didn't you tell me? When we were in there?" she asked. "Because I was scared.." Stella nodded her head. "And Drew and I were having an amazing night, and then I started to think of that, and all the feelings just came crashing over me, and Drew looks so much like Justin.. And I- I just-"
She stroked your hair with her hand and tried to comfort you. "Schh. Don't cry honey." You shook your head. "And I.. I told him to stop, and I begged him not to look at me. Stella you should've seen how hurt he was!"
All you could think of was Drew's face. He looked so hurt and you were the reason behind it.
"Kylie. He loves you."
You shook your head. "What if he realizes that I'm not girlfriend material? What it he realizes that I can't give him what he deserves?"
Stella cut you off. "Kylie that's bullshit, and you know it."
Even though you kind of knew Stella was right, you still hated the fact that you just rejected him like that.
"It's not even his fault! I'm not scared of him.. I love him."
Stella pulled you closer to her, if that's even possible. "I know Kylie. We all know."
You were out of words. This had been a long night, and honestly you just wanted it to end. Without thinking about it, your eyes started to close. And then you fell asleep, in the arms of Stella.
"Kylie.. Kylie wake up."
You slowly opened your eyes and saw Stella standing up. "Stella? Are you crying?" You quickly sat up, and watched her as she wiped away her tears. "We need to go, now."
"What? Go where? Why are you crying?"
"Kylie there's no time for questions. Derek just called. It's Drew. He.. he. Kylie, he got shot."
