The One and Only

Chapter 1

                                                       Kyleigh's Point Of View

     People say love is a battle field... People say that love is like oxygen. While others prefer to be alone because of time. I have no room for love. I am in tennis and I am the captain of the volleyball team. I am always doing homework or reading to get ahead of the game in English 4. I am a senior in high school and I cannot wait to get out and get a job as a nurse. I do admit.. I've been in love before in freshmen year but that guy has broken my heart several times. I was locked in my room for days upon days. Days turned into weeks... Weeks turned into months... then, I finally came out and took my mind off boys right now. I became more focused on school work and sports. I will always be alone and I do not care. I've given up on boys. Until one morning...

     Kyleigh Pitcher is my name. I am 18 years old. I drive my own car which is a blue 2015 Hyundai Sonata. I moved out a couple weeks after my birthday and I live in a apartment in Chicago. I do have a few friends but they know that I get my work done. I have brown hair, blue eyes and I am pretty fit. I am at home sitting at my table doing homework.  My phone rings and I pick it up. "Hello?" I say. "Hey, Girl! It's Gabby. Listen, I know you're all busy with homework and stuff but it's Friday night.. Shawn is taking us to The Mid. You should come!" Gabby says and I hear a siren in the background. She's obviously in her car. I sigh and drop my pen onto the book that is laid out across the table. I sigh and place my hand on my forehead. "Come on!.... It'll be fun." She says. I hear Shawn and Lesley talking. Lesley is Shawn's girl. She's been friends with Gabby since they were little I heard. I don't mind her but she can get a little annoying once in a while. "Fine.. I'll get ready.." I say. Gabby squeals through the phone making my ear hurt. I pull my head away from the speaker until she stops. "See you in a little while!" She says cheerfully. We both hang up and I stare at my book. "I can do you later or tomorrow" I mutter to myself. I get up and go take a shower.

      I get out of the shower and grab a blue, silky, strapless top and slip it on over my black bra. I grab my flexible and durable skinny jeans and I do my make up. I straighten my long brown hair and it falls over my shoulder. I put on pink lip gloss and I smile. My bright blue eyes really does pop with eye liner and mascara on. I smile again. Normally,.. I do not do this but I guess I need to loosen up. School work and practice has gotten to me. I walk out grabbing my purse and my keys. I walk out of the door, locking it behind me. I look through my purse seeing if I got everything and I walk to the elevator. I got everything and I push the down button. I wait there until the doors open. A man around the early 20s stands inside. I look at him and smile. I walk in and turn towards the door. I push the first floor button. He wears jeans and a white T-shirt. He stuffs his hands in his pockets and there's that awkward silence. Finally, the elevator stops, dings, and opens the doors. I walk out into the lobby. I wave hello to Addie which is the nice lady behind the desk. I walk past the front door, to outside and unlock my car. I get in and put the keys in the ignition and drive off.

      I get to The Mid and I see a line outside. I see Gabby in a pink dress and beside her is Shawn and Lesley. Shawn's in jeans and a tee and Lesley is in tight black pants and spaghetti strapped tank top with a leather coat over it.Gabby smiles when she sees me approach them. I smile and head over there. "Hey!" I say while reaching for a hug at Gabby. Gabby hugs me and Shawn hands be a plastic card. I stop and look at it. It's a fake ID. My mouth drops and my heart beats. I look at him and shake my head "You're going to get us busted..." He just shrugs. I sigh and place it in my purse. I'll put it in my wallet when we get in there. Lesley turns to me "So, you've made it! You're here!" she says bouncing up and down clapping her hands. We all laugh and Shawn says "You're too adorable. " He places his arm around her neck and kisses her head. Gabby takes my arm and we walk in. The club has lasers and lights darting across the room and they blast Stay The Night by Zedd featuring Hayley Williams. I smile when I see the whole club bouncing and dancing couples. Gabby pulls me towards a table and we both place our purses down. I take a seat and brush my hair to one side of my head and over the shoulder. I look around and soon, Shawn and Lesley joins us. I look at Gabby and she says "Okay. Now that we are here, What do you wanna do?" "Dance!" I yell. I stand up and grab Gabby's hand. I tub her to an open spot on the dance floor and we just dance.

      It must have been an hour after we danced and we went to the bar. We got ourselves a Martini and as I sip mine, Gabby says "Kyleigh, There's a guy watching you." I look at here and I shake my head. I roll my eyes and tell her "You know I don't date..." "No.. Seriously.. The guy is behind you at the end of the bar. He's hot too.." She smiles and wicked smile. I sigh and she gets up. "Where are you going?" I ask her. My heart races. "Chill... I'm just going to find Lesley and Shawn." She turns around and walks off. I sigh and turn to face the bar. I take a sip of my Martini. I look at the guy at the end of the bar and he's the same guy in the elevator. I sigh and turn away from him. I play with the unbrella in my drink. I look down and watched the flavored alcohol drink swirl around and around. I look towards the end of the bar and he's gone. No where to be found. I sigh and look at the bartender as he mixes drinks. What would life be like if this is all I would do. Partying, drinking, and dancing. It is really fun but I have school work to focus on. I want to get accepted into Harvard... But.. Harvard won't accept partiers and drinkers... I grab my purse off of the bar and walk to find Gabby. I find her talking to a guy and by the looks of it, they would be leaving to his place tonight. I walk to her and say "Hey,.. I'm going to head home. Bye." She smiles and nods "Bye, girl!" I walk out of the club and get into my car. I look at my cell phone and it is 2 am. Really?! We got here around 9 pm. We were here longer than I thought. I turn on my car and pull out. I'm on a deserted road and I decide to turn up the radio. I'm singing along to my favorite songs. I look ahead and see someone run out to the road. I gasp and slam on my brakes. The man from the elevator is standing in front of my car. There's something about him that just creeps me out. I pant and he just runs off. I lay my head on the wheel and try to calm down. That was... creepy..
