The 4

You know what you did

I saw Kian, how could have done such a thing to me.

"I never expected you to come Kian!" She ran up to Kian and hugs him. She doesn't even know what he did to me. He should feel guilty of what he done. Timmy goes up to him and shakes his hand, please don't make a scene.

"It's ok. Just hug him and seem like you're fine." Okay. Just act like that night never happened, act like I won't say anything to anyone. I walk up to Kian and hug him, he is shaking. I let go of him and smile. I feel his eyes on my back as I walk away. He is in shock.

5 hours later

I wake up to get some water and I hear a knock at the door. I try to look into the hole but they are blocking it. I decide not to answer it, the knocks get louder. I feared for my life right then and there. I grabbed a knife out of the drawer, I felt some tugging on my pants. I panicked, I couldn't move. I looked down at my pants and saw Shane, I was relieved. But the knocks stopped, Zoe's phone rang. It was Kian, what the heck does he want?

"Hmm?" Zoe answered. I sat on the couch, I turned it on. I decided to turn on Netflix, I was in the mood for Freaks and Geeks. "Sure you can come." My heart started beating even more. Was he coming over? I hear footsteps coming towards the door and I hear a knock. Zoe gets out of bed and answers the door. I see his tan face. "Hi..."

"Sorry for bothering you in the middle of the night."

"No it's okay...you can sleep on the sofa." He turns towards me and I give him the remote. I smile at him. Zoe went back to bed, I went to the refrigerator to get some snacks. I hear footsteps near me, there he was.

"Umm do you have any snacks?" I grab the pack of chips from on top on the fridge. I give them to him. "Thanks." He walked back to the couch. I grabbed some graham crackers and sat on the couch, far away from him. "Stephanie..."

"What?" I look at him, he has scooted closer towards.

"Can I change the channel?" Are you serious?

"Sure. I'm going to bed anyways." I feel his eyes on my back, I feel someone grab my hand.

"Mom I can't sleep." says River. I direct him to his bed. "Mom who is that man on the couch?"

"Oh that is Kian, the guy from the hospital."

"He is by the doorway." I look behind me and see Kian.

"Hey..." I say. He looks at me when he did that night. I turned back to River. "I will be back." I let go of River's hand. I step into the living room. "What?" I said in annoyed tone.

"I love you." He grabbed my face and kissed. I tried to pull away but he held me back. I pushed him hard and ran into the kid's room. He stood their at the doorway.

"Are you okay?" Rivers says.

"Yes." I say. I felt that feeling again. "You want me to put on the headphones of nature sounds for you?" He nods, I feel a spark of excitement of being a mother. I then walk back to my bedroom. I want to confront him, I will. He is in my home! I walk into the living room and see him. "Hey."

"Huh?"

"Don't act dumb Kian, you have been playing these games ever since we met."

"Stephanie I still have feelings for you..."

"I don't care Kian. You know what you did and you are only here because you want me back. Zoe doesn't even know what you did to me, it's sad. I suggest you get out of my house right now."

"I'm sor-"

"I've heard the same sad apology for years, just stop. Leave" I point to the door. I have tears going down my cheeks. He gets up and rubs my cheek, I turn my head.

"Bye..." I say nothing. I lock the door behind me. I hear footsteps, oh no. River probably heard that whole conversation. I turn and it is Zoe.

"It that why did that...because of feelings?" I see confusion in her face. I hug her and brush her hair.

"Yes. He pressured me to do something and I was drunk. I had no control so he did that. I never wanted to tell yo-"

"Why?" She is crying a river.

"I don't know." she grabs me even tighter.

"It's okay. I just wish you would have told me earlier." She wasn't okay.

"You're not okay. Tell me."

"I just I don't know what to feel." She lets go of me and sits on the couch. She looks at the couch. "It's 2:45."

"Okay?" Her eyes were puffy, I sat next to her. I put my arm around her. "Promise me this Zoe, we'll never keep secrets from each other."

"Okay." She laughed.

"What?"

"I remember I hated you and here we are. We were crazy."

"Yeah. That time when Timmy tried to impress you by doing a trick on his skateboard, he fell." We both laughed. She kissed my cheek, I turned and looked into her hazel eyes. She was the love of my life. I would have never of imagined marrying a girl when I was younger.

"What do you wanna watch?"

"I am feeling like we should watch Attack on Titan."

"Ugh okay..." She turns it on. I slowly drift off to sleep while having my head on her shoulder.
