Dream

Chapter 12

 "What are you doing here, Kendrick?"  I asked...He stayed silent and walked inside my house. I glared at him. He just nodded at me.

        "Hey." He sighed. I felt my blood boil. Is that all he was going to say?!

        "Hey! HEY!? Is that all you have to say to me. You ignore me for 2 months...then you fight my boyfriend...and you show up...unannounced at my house with nothing to say except HEY?!" I screamed at him. He just stood there in shock.

        "I'm sorry." He lowered his head.

        "Sorry! For what!? God...Kendrick you really shouldn't be here! Noah is on his way!" I added.

        "Then that gives me just enough time to do this..." He sighed as he pulled me into his arms and kissed me. I pushed away so fast," Kristina....I love you." He groaned. My eyes widened.

        "What?!" I gasped.

        "I never wanted to ask Ginger to the dance...I don't know why I did it...to make you jealous....and when you didn't come to school the next day...I just knew I had to come over. I told Ginger I didn't like her and that I liked you....she got mad. That's when I came here to tell you...that I wanted to go to the dance with you, but I chickened out...So when the day of the dance came....I came to your house to get you, but your parents told me you already left. I rushed to the dance to see you and Noah....in the corner...talking. I chickened out again...but I'm not chickening out anymore. Kris I want you. I want to be yours. I want you to be mine." He sighed...pulling me back into his arms. I wanted to push away, but I couldn't. His eyes were glued onto mine. He coming in for another kiss, but I pushed him away.

        "No." I sighed," I don't love you. I never have and I never will." I lied. That  was the biggest lie I've ever told , but i forced myself to believe it.

        "I know you're lying..." He stepped closer to me, but I backed away.

        "I don't love you!" I shouted at him.

        "Kris....It should be me kissing you...taking you on weekend long trips...taking you to dances."

        "But it's not you! It's my BOYFRIEND! Please understand I have a boyfriend...I don't love you!" I shouted again. He kept shaking his head...as if he could see through my lies....i felt my phone vibrate.

new message from: NOAH

Noah: I'm outside. Let's go to the Diner, ya?

Me: I'm coming.

        "That was him wasn't it?" Kendrick sighed.

        "I have to go..." I headed for the door, but Kendrick grabbed my hand.

        "I know you love me..."

        "Ken...get it through your thick skull! I DON'T love you....If I loved you....I would be with you." I slid my hand away. I looked up at him...his eyes watery," When I get back home....you better be gone." I groaned as I stormed out the house and got into the car with Noah. We drove in silence. It was awful...I felt guilt consume me. We parked at the diner and headed inside. We sat at the same table we sat at when we first came here. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I told Noah everything. He tensed up.

        "Do you love him?" He looked up at me with watery eyes....My eyes watered as well.

        "I'm trying not too." I admitted. He just nodded...

        "Well...can you try harder not to...because I don't want us to break up."

        "I don't want us to break up either..." I kissed him. He held my cheeks. It was so soft...so kind....I kissed so much...just so I could push Kendrick to the back of my mind...and it was working.
