Love, Hate, Everything.

Chapter 7

''We kissed,'' I say Suzy is in my room after we put on the facial mask that she brought to moisturize our skin.

''So that mean he likes you?'' She replied.

''Maybe?'' I say.

''I think Noah would be dumb and the hell he thinks that Drayden is stealing his girl,'' Suzy announced.

''Tell him that you like him.''

''Does it change anything?'' I muttered and deeply sighed.

''Just to be clear he is not a douchebag. Well, Drayden is linked to you about your secret possessions.'' She took off the facial mask, and wipe her face gently using her towel.

I wondered what she said, but my feelings, the things I need more to find to be more evident to me to correct the deterioration I feel for him, but self-care is bubble baths, favorite meals, indulging. Also seeking therapy, setting boundaries, speaking soothingly to yourself while you're crying.

Accepting the ugly parts, not rational but considerate to find out if it matched. The months just flew by, At the time we would meet I was more on a step closer to him.

I found a new hobby, play badminton on weekends at Crestview, and guess my playmate it's Doctor Ross. I told Suzy to play but she insisted she was busy with some interventions.

''Do you think Drayden has this feeling for somewhat commensurate about us. We kissed, but don't want to get assumed.'' I say as I sip my ice coffee drink.

Doctor Ross brought me to the near cafe restaurant. Flipping his hair, that smiles of his.

''I don't perceive his demands, but maybe this was his way to reach you despite his failed love. You can say the verdict.''

''How did you know that Miles is for you, and how did you fight for it? Do you see your tears rolling down your cheek, and just another haven?'' I say.

''Well, Miles is different. I know there is something so I could bear to get to know more him. I thought he was homophobic, kinda you know we're both practically serious about med school way back then.''

I stuck in my room the whole day, my brothers were worried because I was too timid, and facade. My head was swimming by then, the thoughts faded disappearing. It has gradually filled up with unbearable misfortunes, that consumed all the miseries that could consider for keeps.

Heading out. I went to meet Drayden, but uncertain he is jogging in the field. I called out. He approached.

"You like me right?'' I say, and let out a deep breath. He looked at me questioningly.

Went off, and get into my car. But heard him knock on my doors, and roll down the window. I deeply sighed. Smiled adamantly.

''Just forget what I say.'' My fingers drumming on the table.

He pulled my hand and took me to the subway. Treats my sandwich and soda.

''Well, I say it must be inconsiderate.'' He shrugged his shoulders. '' But Noah is still hitting on you right?''

''Yea. I know he won't stop shadows because I'm off guarded with Miles.''

I don't know what to say. Just looking at him makes me wondered how am I suppose to respond. Is he serious about the day we kissed or might be he is just flirting like what can he do to other girls?

''You know we're friends right?'' He takes a sip, between those sentences.

Stop the crap.

Drayden is a jock and straightforward. He was so numb and careless. I got as if it was one of his experiments for him. I felt a little bit of dismay from what had happened.

It's Monday afternoon, and I didn't mention his name at school. Must say that Noah surprised me during lunch. Girls drool of who is the luckiest girl who will receive the date with Noah, that this dickhead set a game with his friends.

''Maybe you need to give him a chance, and a guy like Noah deserves to be happy,'' Suzy mumbled, stood next to me.

Don't want to make him upset, because he doesn't deserve the will to get rejected. He is a nice guy and cool. He asked permission from my brothers that he would ask me for a date tonight.

''Keely, you aren't finished?'' Hale knocked on my door.

''Just wait, I'll get going,'' I say while mirroring.

We both went downstairs, and Noah gazed into my eyes while Miles and Jeffrey are watching me over. We are going out tonight. I smiled.

''You're beautiful,'' Noah mumbled.

''It's not bad for Keely. But be back by 11 o'clock,'' Miles says.

He opens the door and gets me outside. I step my foot, while Noah took my hand. He placed his jacket on my shoulders.

That night that would drive us, served as our world and the time had a chance to tell the expanse to combine what heart desires. For that night I joined a Noah Birkett. There was no doubt coming because I chose to be more than my desire to deepened my strange admiration for him.

We went to a restaurant and I think he had prepared that much. I convinced myself of the doubt who was staying with me in an effective way that would be an exception to my desire to be the means that the moon and the universe, could give me enough strength in thinking to reach what I want.

''I hope it would not be such a tedious, and this date would not strikes as irrelevant.'' He says as he smiles.

I smiled adamantly.

''Girls were drooling right now, and think am such the luckiest person to date you,'' I mumbled.

''Well, you can say it such a privilege, but doesn't matter.''

I get inside Hale's room, he is playing guitar and hitting the strums. I sat down next to him. His room has posters of classic musicians.

''You are writing a song?'' I say questioningly.

He throws me a nod.

''It's for Suzy.'' He says without throwing a glance.

''How lucky she is,'' I mumbled. ''Receiving an original composition might get easily win her heart.''

At school, I am looking for Suzy. But I didn't found her anywhere.

''Have you seen Suzy?'' I asked one of my classmates, but he didn't point out my question.

I strolled and walked to see her. I checked rooms but still, her shadows didn't show up. My ears get some whispers over the storage room.

''You're such a kinky.'' She says, and I open the door and saw Suzy making out with one of our schoolmates.

She was surprised when she saw me. I couldn't stand and went off away, and heard she rush toward me.

''What?'' I say furiously, didn't realize that I raised my voice. She's getting my nerves.

''About what you saw, it's Nothing. We're just-''

I cut her off.

''You know what you are unbelievable! You were dating my brother and now you are flirting with a guy, and what do am I supposed to think with that?'' I glared.

''I didn't mean that. I know he's hitting on me. But that Wes Hicks, my ex-boyfriend just came over.''

I poke my head.

''You know what Hale would go to surprise you, but I think it might be reasonable if you should not mess him up, and stay away from him, and shouldn't tell him this if you do that.'' I grimaced, letting out a deep breath.

''I am sorry.''

''Oh come on, Suzy stops being melodramatic! Your sorry doesn't mean hurting my brother would giving him a favor that everything will be alright.'' 

I scooped my pillow and hugged them tightly. Lays on my bed in my room. Don't want to hurt my brother Hale because of her. He doesn't deserve someone like her. But I entrust that I should keep this.
