Come a Little Closer ((Completed))

Chapter 27

Kate won't stop singing. She is a chubby red head with a face full of freckles. She isn't exactly beautiful like Claire. Don't get me wrong, I don't think she ugly because of her hair color and body type. I don't find her ugly at all. She just doesn't equal up to Claire.

And she won't stop singing, and poking Jaxson's sides...and looking at him and she obliviously is infatuated with him. I feel bad for the girl. She seems like the type of person, who needs attention.

"So Kate." I say and look at her. "Where did you learn to sing so beautifully?"

So I lied. She doesn't sing beautifully. But she thinks she does. I just needed and excuse to make her stop singing.

Kate smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear. "I taught myself!" She said and smiled at Jaxson.

He half smiled back. He can't stand her and he isn't good at hiding it.

"Wow, well you sound very good!"

Claire looked back at me mouthing Thank you.

I smiled and continued to talk with Kate.

We finally stopped at a rest stop to use the bathrooms. Kate wouldn't stop talking my ear off.

"So you're from California!?" She asked.

"Yeah." I smiled.

"Got a boyfriend back home?" She asked.

"Yea, do you?" Jaxson asked.

I was quiet thinking about Max. He isn't my boyfriend but every time I talk with Jaxson, I feel like I'm betraying him in some way.

"No." I say finally scratching the back of my neck.

"You hesitated. Messy break up?"

"Well, Kyle..he was my boyfriend before--" I stopped stopped talking before I brought up Max. "Before Kyle slept with and impregnated my sister."

"Oh..ouch." He said.

"He sounds like a winner. You must have excellent taste in men." Kate said in a judgmental  tone.

I stopped walking and looked at her, as she stopped walking. "What does that mean?" I asked.

"Just that you type of girls are blinded by the real men."

I looked at her and crossed my arms. "I highly suggest you walk and find your sister before I slap you across the face."

She raised her eyes brows and her face turned beat red. "Ex-cuuuse me?"

"You heard me. Now get away." I said and walked. I heard her stomp off and Jaxson follow behind me.

"Sass is real with you I suppose."

I laughed and walked into the bathroom, Jaxson still behind me. I turned around and put my hand on his chest. "You're not coming with me."

He half smiled and looked down at me. "You're missing out."

"You're a player." I said and turned back for the bathroom.

After our stop we drove non-stop all the to Disney.  Once we got there we were disappointed to find the parking lot abandoned and the park closed.

"Since when is this place closed?" Claire asked.

We are all standing around in a circle in the parking lot. We are clueless on what to do next.

"It would be a shame to drive all the way here, and then not stay." Jaxon says. "Let's fine a hotel."

We all looked at each other, and shrugged. "I have school tomorrow." Kate said. "We should go home."
