[Serenity]

I watched as he stood there with that stupid smirk playing at his lips.

"Sure did," I mumbled and he laughed.

"Let's go get you checked up pretty girl" Kev smiled grabbing my hand.

We walked downstairs and Ash, Luke, and Mikey were at the table.
I threw them a faint smile.

"Calum should be waiting for you guys. I called him when I heard the shower turn on," Luke said and I smiled.

"Thank you," I mumbled.

"How are you feeling ?" Ash asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"It still hurts but it's a little better. I have good people taking care of me," I replied smiling towards Kev.

"Well, I don't wanna keep you here. We'll be here when you come back. If anything goes wrong which I highly doubt or if there's anything I should know don't hesitate to call me," Luke spoke making Kevin nod.

"Serenity can you start the car? I'll be there in a sec," Kevin asked and I nodded taking his keys.

I sat in the passenger's seat and turned the car on. I put the radio on and tested my head on the seat.

[Kevin]

"Kevin thank you. For all of this," Luke spoke and his blue eyes showed pure emotion.

"Luke I told you this 3 years ago and I'll tell you again. Serenity means so fucking much to me. I'd do anything for her in a heartbeat. None of this you need to thank me for. If I didn't wanna be here you know very well I wouldn't," I responded honestly.

"You mean a lot to her kid. Don't break her heart. She needs you," Ashton spoke and I laughed.

"I break her heart? I could never. I need her a hell of a lot more than she needs me," I said and he nodded.

"You look out for her, something I'll always be grateful for," Michael smiled.

"None of you know this but the only reason I hang out in their friend group is for her. They're the assholes that started the rumors that broke us up in the first place. Aaron? I've never liked him. He's a complete dick. The only ones that I truly am friends with are Xavier and her," I whispered.

"I know Kev. But for now, the best thing you can do is to go get our girl checked up. She's hurting mentally and physically whether she says it or not," Luke said and with that, I left.

[Serenity]

Kevin walked out of the house and got into the driver's seat with a smile.

"Why're you all smiley?" I asked.

"I'm with my favorite girl. What's there not to be happy about?" He furrowed his brows driving away from the house.

"Shut up," I grumbled.

Those little things made my heart do cartwheels.
Why?
God, I wish I knew why. It was like butterflies. Invading my stomach, swarming. I never got this feeling with Aaron. With him, he just wanted so much action. Sexual activity per se. Whether he got it or not, it was always his first move. I never thought much into it.
I thought me and Kevin did stuff like this when we dated, the older I got the more it would happen. But it's wasn't supposed to be like that.

"Snap out of your thoughts love. You'll give yourself an anxiety attack," Kevin spoke but his eyes never left the road.

"Why do you say that?" I asked.

"Serenity I know you better than you know yourself. I've seen you have anxiety attacks. Your anxiety is bad. Especially after traumatic events. You forget how you were when you got into that car accident with your dad all those years ago. You had anxiety about getting in a car for over a year. When your dad died it was hell for you. So trust me. Stop overthinking," he spoke and I nodded.

I didn't realize how easily I gave my self anxiety attacks. But he did. How did he know more about me than I did?
