The Story

The Confession.

As I walked towards Kelsey's house, my head was pounding and my arm was sore. All I wanted to do was sleep and never wake up.

As I arrive at Kelsey's, I took the key she had given me prior to leaving for the party and opened the front door. I went to Kelsey's room and saw that she was doing her makeup.

"Hey Kels, how are you?"

She turned to me with her eyes wide," What happened last night? Why did Will tell me that Axel was taking care of you?"

"Umm some guy named Evan drugged me and tried to.." I couldn't finish my sentence without my eyes watering. Kelsey realized what I was going to say and she ran to give me a big hug. She was hugging me too hard and my arm started to hurt again. She pulled away and pulled the sleeve up. She noticed my arm and her mouth opened, but before she could say anything, I said, "I'm fine. He didn't do anything thanks to Axel. Axel actually help stitch me up and let me stay over."

After explaining to Kelsey what happened with Axel last night and this morning, I found out that Kelsey didn't know Evan but heard of him through her brother and that he didn't go to our school. He went to the school they usually played against.

Trying to divert the topic onto Kelsey, "So what's up with this Will guy?"

"He's just a friend." She looked away from me with reddened cheeks.

"You guys looked like you were more than friends from where I was standing."

"Whatever, Mike always brought over his friends and it wasn't until this summer that we had actually hung out. But he decided that he doesn't want to be exclusive. I don't mind it because I don't do relationships." Although she tried to sound confident, I knew her long enough to know that she was sad that he didn't want to be exclusive.

"Ok sure Kels, the last time I saw you, you were blabbering on about how you wanted a boyfriend and wouldn't stop talking about all the things you want in a guy. So don't try that with me, I know you better than that." I tried to give her a sympathetic look.

She let out a big sigh," It's just I don't think he likes me as I like him. His whole high school life, he was known as the biggest player, he didn't care about if he hurt the girls' feelings, he just wanted the smash and dash. I don't want to be those girls." I gave her a big hug.

"Look Kels, you are an amazing person. Will doesn't deserve to date a person like you. If he's too dumb to realize what he has then it's his loss honestly. If he really likes you and is trying to make an effort then I think you need to tell him how you feel. But if you think you're just going to be another fling then cut him off." I wasn't a very good person to give relationship advice but what came out of my mouth did not sound too bad. I mentally pat myself on the back.

"Yea I guess you're right." She said rolling her eyes and smiling.

"I just wanted to stop by and see if you were fine. I'm going to head home and change. I feel disgusting." I gave her one last hug. "Hey, you'll figure this out. Don't lose too much sleep over him."

She giggled and then her face turned serious, "Oh, Mike doesn't know about me and Will so..," she motioned her fingers over her mouth like she was zipping them.

"Alright weirdo. Bye now, If you need anything let me know." I would have stayed longer but my siblings were coming home today and although they annoyed me, I missed them. Just a little though.

As I walked out of Kelsey's room I heard her yell faintly, "Nice hoodie." I rolled my eyes and smiled.

I went into my car and drove back towards my house.
