Forever And Always

chapter 3- "Are you following me?"

I use the room key to unlock the hotel room door. I struggled at first but finally got it open and when I do I hear Allison yelling at me. "WHERE WERE YOU!?"

"I told you I was going to get ice cream." I say walking over to my bed and sitting on the edged of it taking the remote and changing the channel. "Yeah like an hour and a half ago!" She says her voice still loud but not as loud as it was when I walked in. "Yeah I got ice cream and went to the beach for a little while."

"You spent that much time at the beach?"She questions raising an eyebrow. "Well not by myself..I met someone and we hung out for a little while it's not that big of a deal." I tell her not taking my eyes of the TV.

"Oh and is this someone a guy?" She asks. "Yeah I guess you could call him that." I answer hoping the conversation will end before she makes to big of a deal out of it. "What did you and this guy do?"

I don't know what she meant by this question but I think she meant it in a creepy way. "We just hung out at the beach then he gave me his number. That's it." I explain. "Oh." She responds. I think the conversation is over until she opens her mouth once again. "Do you like him?"

My eyes go wide and my mouth drops open. "NO!" I practically scream. Her eyes go as wide as mine when she sees my reaction. "Oooo Braden's in love." I glare at her immediately. "Allison.. You and I both know I dont believe in love." I remind her.

"I don't understand why though. You seemed pretty in love with Jackson." She says. "That wasn't love.. I liked him alot but it wasn't love because love isn't real." I say again. She doesn't say anything after that she just turns her attention to the TV. I decide I should shower and get a new shirt since this one still has Ice cream on it. No, I didn't go around with ice cream all over my shirt. Well I kinda did I turned the shirt so it was backwards and covered the back with my hair. I get up and go into the bathroom with some sweatpants and a sports bra to wear afterwards.

I only spent 15 minutes in the shower and when I got out I noticed I had 2 new messages. One was from Jackson.

From Jackson: I miss you <3

I sigh. Jackson and I broke up because he was going to college in Washington and I would never see him but I think he still considers me his girlfriend even though I can assure you WE'RE NOT.

To Jackson: Miss you too. Hows college going?

I check my other message from a number I dont recognize.

From ??: Hey its Kian.

To Kian: Hey.

I set my phone down and get dressed. I put my hair in a messy bun and just before I'm about to exit the bathroom my phone goes off again.

From Jackson: It's going good. Wish I was with you though. ;) Hows life without me?

To Jackson: Its okay.. I moved to California though.

I always avoid the parts where he says he wishes he was with me and stuff like that. I don't know Its just awkward now because we aren't together. I go back into our room and lay on my bed crawling under the covers.

Thats when I get another message from Kian.

From Kian: So my roommates and I are Having a party on saturday if you want to come.

To Kian: Sure.. Can I bring my friend.

This time he answers automatically.

From Kian: Yeah sure ;)

To Kian: Okay well I'm going to take a nap so bye.

From Kian: Okay.. Bye.

I set my phone down and drift off to sleep.
