The Wrong Choice

Chapter 7

It has been almost a week since I last talked to Kai, he doesn't even look at me. Nicole and Jake are still together and have made it official now and I am slowly getting used to it.. seeing them, together and just knowing how that's what we were like before. I guess I just have to move on but boy was that easier said than done. I got stared at daily as I walked down the halls, people would whisper and stare at me and there were rumors going around saying I slept with Kai to get back at Jake when we didn't. I didn't sleep with him, all we did was kiss and that was it and now I'm being called a slut and it's just making me feel worse and it's not just in the halls it's online as well. I feel lonely and I have nobody, my mother and I aren't that close really and so that is why I now have a diary, I needed a place to write out all my thoughts and with nobody to talk to and it's not exactly a diary it's more of a thought tracker. I was brought out of my thoughts as the bell went off signaling for the end of the day.

I walked out the classroom and through the halls, as everyone was spilling out of their classes eager to get home, I noticed how people were looking at me and whispering with each other and laughing and so I decided to take the long way out of school and that was through the p.e department. I opened the heavy door as the cold air hit me and I felt alright, I felt calm and alright.

As I walked home I felt the presence of someone behind me and I looked behind me to see Kai and considering he lived down the street from me it was normal but I couldn't help but feel sad, we could've walked back together but instead we were ignoring each other and acting like we didn't know each other and I couldn't help but feel like this was all my fault.

I turned around and closed the door behind me making sure to lock it. I slowly walked over to the kitchen island and slumped down as I pulled out my phone letting the notifications fill my phone screen and I couldn't help but notice a message from Jake and I got confused as to why he messaged me. I picked up my phone and read the message

Hey, I've noticed that you have been really distant recently and have seemed upset and I was just wondering if you are ok? x

I was shocked and wondered if he actually cared or if he just didn't want to seem like a dick but I replied anyway.

Hi, yeah I'm fine but do you ACTUALLY care about me? or are you doing this to make yourself not look like a dick?

I put my phone down before noticing the note on the counter that my mother left for me, I huffed as I read that she would be late coming home tonight "guess I will have to get a take away" I muttered to myself. I looked down at my phone waiting for a reply as I was thinking if I was too harsh and then it popped up

Alisha, I do genuinely care about you, I once loved you! I noticed you seemed different and wanted to check up on you, I thought you would appreciate it considering you have nobody to talk to.. x

I stared at the message thinking about how much of a bitch I sounded, he was just checking up on me and it's true, he once loved me but he cheated on me.. with one of my closest friends. I typed out a reply and hit send.

I'm sorry Jake I shouldn't have been harsh but thank you for checking up on me, it means a lot and I hope you are doing alright as well. :) x

I looked up the clock on the wall and it read 5:45 pm and considering mum would be getting home late that means she would be back around 9:00 pm. I walked over to the shelves that held all the movies and looked for a second and admired at how perfectly placed they were before picking out a few movies, I giggled to myself as I looked down at the movies I chose, 101 Dalmatians, Beauty and the beast and Frozen. I think I have a soft spot for Disney movies I thought. I knelt down and opened up the DVD case for Frozen and gently placed it in the DVD player and pressed play, I got up and took the remote skipping through all the ad's and paused it just as it was starting so I had time to get comfy on the sofa.

As the movie was coming to end I couldn't help but shed a few tears as I thought about how the only way to end the winter was love and how Elsa's heart broke when her sister was frozen. I checked the time and it was now 7:35 and I thought I should get some food so I stood up and walked over to the phone picking up up my hand and dialing the number to the Chinese shop, as it was ringing there was a knock at the door so I ended the call before it went through and trudged over to the door and opened it and there stood Kai, a rush of different emotions went through my body and I was shocked, surprised, excited and confused but I ignored them and stared at him with his messy blonde hair and his small smile that just made me giddy, I looked down and he was wearing black skinny jeans paired with a white t-shirt and his black coat and in his hand he held the lead to a golden retriever puppy that I had never seen before and in his other hand he held a Chinese. "Alisha, I am so sorry for how I have been this past week, do you forgive me? I brought Chinese because I saw that your mother wasn't home and I hadn't seen anyone bring food for you and I know you can't really cook. Please forgive me Alisha, I've been a douche to you and I am really really sorry" He said looking like he was about to cry "And the dog?" I asked with a chuckle "Oh that's Charlie, he doesn't like to be left alone and I got him just recently but does this mean you forgive me?" He asked with a smile plastered on his face "Yes, I forgive you and Charlie is such a cute puppy" I said leaning down to pet Charlie "Yay oh my god Alisha thank you" I got up smiling "come in it's cold out" I said opening the door wider.

Kai put the Chinese down on the coffee table and took off Charlie's lead and hung it up before going into the kitchen with me to get some plates "What did you get meeee?" I said giggling with excitement "I got you a mild chicken curry because I know you like that" Kai said smiling "Yay thank you, you are literally the best I hope you know that" I said doing a little happy dance "I knew you'd like it" He said chuckling.

We walked back into the living room and my jaw dropped to the sight of Charlie eating the take away "Oh no no no no no" "sugar sugar sugar" Kai said as he placed his plate on mine and rushed to Charlie "Oh my gosh it's alright he only got the chicken that's fine but I will need to throw this out now" Kai said chuckling "That's fine at least Charlie is okay" I said as I placed the plates down on the coffee table.

"So now what?" I said as I looked at Kai who was petting Charlie "We can make something?" he said shrugging "Alright then but I don't know how to cook" I said with an innocent look on my face. We searched the cupboards in my kitchen and found some nachos and nacho cheese so we decided to make nachos and watch a movie.

I placed our drinks on the coffee table while Kai had the nachos, I made sure that Charlie couldn't get to them before going to change the movie "Oi, Beauty And The Beast orrrrr 101 Dalmatians?" I asked "101 Dalmations considering it's your favorite," He said and I let out a small excited giggle. I got up and went to lay on the sofa but my feet were hanging off the edge so I sat instead, I forgot to turn the lights off so I quickly got up and turned them off and as I sat down I was struggling to get comfy "Alisha come here" Kai said and so I scooted closer to him "Yeah?" I asked but he said nothing and just put his arm around me so I snuggled into his chest and just as my feet were getting cold Charlie jumped up on the sofa and laid down on my feet keeping them warm. It had been about 15 minutes before I fell asleep in Kai's arms and I felt safe and protected and I didn't feel like it was too much, it felt just right.
