Just You and Me - A Seaycee Story ON HOLD

I Couldn't Believe Her

...............................Kaycee..............................

"Kaycee, there's something I need to know.." Serris says as she looks me straight in the eye.

Please don't ask me the question.

Please don't ask me the question.

Please don't ask me the question.

"Were you the same Kaycee Rice who's father won the bet?"

Oh no.

"...yes," I respond nervously.

"Look Kaycee, I know you were young back then and I know you have probably changed. But you have already hurt this family once. Because of your father, I no longer have mine. I can feel Sean gravitating toward you every moment you're in the room. I see the way he looks at you and it scares me. To you, beating him in that competition, winning the bet our fathers placed, and the role in the music video was probably the best thing that has ever happened to you. But to Sean, it was the worst. Our family was put in a 500K dollar debt, just like our fathers' bet had stated. Whoever's kid won that dance competition, had to drop out of the music video and pay the winner 500K. I hope you know how constant your father was with his bragging. And I hope he felt the chains of guilt be placed upon his hands when he found out my father commit suicide over it. Sean was hurt once, and I cannot and will not stand here and watch him get hurt again."

She's staring at me with cold dark eyes.

"I promise. I won't hurt him," I say.

I promise.

I promise.

We can be friends.

Then I won't hurt him.

But..

My grandmother would tell me stories about when people meet the one they feel a zing.

What is a zing?

A zing is like a feeling.

But a special one.

A zing is the feeling of knowing what you are doing is right.

But knowing who you are doing what you are doing with is even more right.

The feeling of wanting to be with this person constantly.

When you feel not only your heart but your head, light up when they walk in.

It's easy for your heart to light up when a cute boy comes your way.

But your head lights up when there are a million things you want to tell them when you zing

You know they will never intentionally hurt you

But when you have a crush

You get nervous

Your palms get sweaty

And you are scared of rejection

For being who you are

But when you zing

You don't care

You don't mind being yourself and weird and silly

And you know they will accept you for you

You tell yourself that you're not good enough for them

That they deserve someone better

But sometimes
