Against All Odds

Chapter 8:

When I arrived in London,England, I was amazed.It was breath taking! So many of the buildings were old but beautiful!

I got into a cab driving with Mike to take me and check me into a hotel called Threadneedles. "It's a really big, nice hotel Jake. I'm sure you'll like it. If you don't like it, to bad. We already got you a room." Mike said. "Um thanks. I guess."

We pulled up to the hotel. It was huge! I got out of the cab to go walk and get my room key when I heard a very high pitch scream. I looked over to see what was going on and soon realized that the scream came from a girl that looked about 13 and she was running towards me yelling "Jake! Jake!"

When she was standing in front of me, the girl said"Oh my God! I cant belive you're actually here! I'm standing next to Jake Carver! Can I please have a autograph! And a picture!? My friends won't believe me if I don't have a picture to show them!" I just laughed. "Sure!" I said.

"What's your name?" I asked while signing my name. "Um..Uhh.. Emily! It's Emily! Sorry. I just can't believe I finally get to meet you!" She yelled in my ear.

"Thats okay Emily. Here you go! Do you have a camera so we can take the picture that you wanted." I asked."I have my phone!" She said while reaching for her pocket.

Me and Emily took a lot of photos. One of me with my arm around her. Another of us standing by the front of the hotel making a funny face. The last one was just us smiling and at the last second before she took the picture, Emily turned around and kissed me on the cheek.

She giggled and gave me a hug and then ran off after she had taken the picture. I just shook my head and laughed under my breath and walked in. "I see you have a big fan. Maybe a future girlfriend I'm guessing?" Mike asked. "I guess." I laughed again. We walked in and the front desk lady handed me my key card.

I opened my room door. It was beautiful and really big. I set my bags down and plopped down on my bed. I was so tired. I tried to take a nap in the super comfy bed but I could stop thinking about Kaylee.

I mean since I kissed her, I feel really bad. I knew I shouldn't have but I was just so caught up in the moment. She looked so beautiful with her big green eyes.

When I first meet her, I started liking her. I know that sounds cheesy but when our eyes first meet, I freaked out.

Wondering if I smelt good or bad, or if I looked okay. I offered to buy here a new shirt because one, it was my fault her shirt got ruined and two, I wanted to get to know her better.

There might have been a chance between us if things between her and Tyler were different. But now there is no chance. Plus, she will be with Tyler for a whole year or maybe more while I'm away.

She might not like me as a friend anymore or even remeber me, I guess I should just let her go.

I at least needed to tell her that I was in London so I got my phone out and texted her.

J: hey kaylee. its jake. im sorry for yesterday. i know your probably upset so im not expecting a reply. i just wanted to let you know that i'm in england now. i wont be able to talk to much but if you want to talk about anything, i will be here for u.

I waited for about an hour and still no reply. Just as I was expecting. I through my phone into a chair across the room and fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning. I didnt mean to sleep all the rest of the day, I was wanting to go look around the city a little bit before I tour the movie set. Oh well. I decided to let the whole Kaylee thing go and just focus on the movie. I didn't want any distractions.
