Back In Black- Book 2

Chapter 19

Cole's POV

After this mornings events i couldn't focus on any of my classes. Even Grant and Quinn commented on my with drawn behavior. The final bell finally rang signaling the day was over. I slung by duffle bag of gear over my shoulder and headed to the field for warm ups before the big game against our rivals. Honestly i didn't care how we did as long as Kenzie was there in the stands. Gah what is wrong with me? Since when did i care about girls? Ive never bothered to care about anything other then myself. Shes slowly creeping into my heart knocking down the walls i put up. It terrifies me in more ways than id ever admit to. There's just something about her that i cant help but love.

Wait did i just us the word love? Ugh Grant and Quinn are right im freaking whipped. My conscious says to stop talking to her and push her away but my heart screams at me to let her it. Ive never felt this way and the girl drives me crazy. I know little to nothing about her and yet im falling hard. I just wish she would let me into her world and trust me. She's a mystery and just when i think i know her I realize i truly know nothing. She is usually quiet and shows no emotion, but every now and than she smiles and it takes my breath away. I wonder if she knows how beautiful she is.

Anytime she goes somewhere all guys turn and look her way and it pisses me off. I want to be the only one able to look at her. When she laughs its like music and i never want it to stop, especially if im the one making her laugh. Even though she doesn't speak much i can see there's a million things on her mind.

I just wish i knew if she even feels the same. Its hurts thinking she doesnt have any feelings for me. It's my mission to make her like me just as much. Kenzie is going to break my heart if she doesn't feel the same. Ive never dealt with heart break but im sure id handle it like i do my other problems, ill drink and be violent. Its doesnt solve my problems but it numbs me.

I was so lost in my thoughts that i didnt notice Quinn was talking to me.

"Dude are you even listening to me?" Quinn's face was plastered in an annoyed scowl.

"Sorry dude." I realized we were now next to the bleachers so i set my bag down and started grabbing my gear out.

"Woah did Cole say sorry? Dude that's a first. What is that girl doing to you?" He was laughing. I punched him in the stomach, cutting off his laughter and stormed off to the rest of the guys.

Shortly the stand will start to fill up and im praying i see her in the stands.

Kenzie's POV

Since it was chilly outside i threw on a warm jacket and left my hair down. I threw on his jersey and had to tie it in the back. It looked like a dress on me. I felt like an idiot wearing his jersey and going to the game. I did one last look over myself and put my hat on. Making him fall for me was part of the plan but this was outside my comfort zone. Ive never been bothered to watch a game because it didn't interest me, but i also never wanted another reason to get beat up.

My own emotions makes me nauseous due to all their flip flopping. One second i want to hurt him and the next i find myself thinking he isn't a bad guy and doesn't deserve this. My heart aches from all the pain inflicted on me over the years but it still tells me no, while my conscious tells me to raise hell upon him like he's never seen. In many ways im torn but i know that i have to follow through with my plan to break his heart.

I slid in my truck and started the engine. Some song by NickelBack came on and i found myself humming along. By the time i arrived at the school i could see the stands starting to fill up.

As i walked toward the stands Hannah and her second in command, Shyyanne slammed into me muttering 'whore'. It took everything in me to not reach out and grab them by their bleach blond hair and clash their heads together. Their hair would probably fall out from all the bleaching though. I grumbled and shoved my way into the stands and sat in the front row.
