The Player's charm

Chapter 27 - The end

Brandon and I pulled into the parking lot and immediately someone called my name. I turned towards the sound and saw Dylan swinging his arms, how did he know Brandon's car?

"Kelly, come over here?" I heard Dylan scream.

"Can you pull up over there." I said pointing at Dylan.

I got out of the car but he was on the phone "You better come out now, before I tell her." I heard him say to the person on the phone.

"Dylan, what's going on?"

"Mason's coming now."

Brandon got out and leaned against his car, behind me and Mason walked out wearing his usual red shorts and a black hoodie with Nike socks and slides on, Rachel followed close behind him.

"Why's he here?" Mason asked pointing at Brandon, walking until he stood chest to chest with Brandon.

"I don't fight with little boys." Brandon said.

"Who's a little boy?" Mason replied.

Both guys voices were intimidatingly deep, while they stared each other down but staring did not last long before fist were thrown around and Dylan ran over to break it up, getting punched in the process.

"Brandon, just leave." I said taking my bag out of the car. Brandon walked over to me, kissing me before staring Mason down and left.

Too much testosterone in one place never works out well.

"Well since all distractions are out of the way can we get to why we are really here?" Dylan said and Mason gave him a death stare then looked back at me. He looked nervous as he stood in front of me.

"Mason!" Dylan screamed.

"I need to tell you something..." Mason started saying as he looked everywhere but at me "something happened, well I did something-"

"-I slept with him." Rachel said from the back and Mason immediately looked like he saw a ghost.

"Him, who?" I asked looking between Rachel and Mason.

"Me." Mason said, softly, almost as a whispered as he continued looking at the ground.

"When?" I asked, knowing that they already slept together so why were we here having this conversation.

Mason continued shifting uncomfortably, scratching the back of his neck and looking at his feet "A few minutes ago." He said and my heart drop.

It felt like someone took a sledgehammer to my chest and I struggled to catch my breath. My best friend slept with the guy I just broke up with. Who I had a bad break-up with.

I just looked at both of them with disbelief, after a while of me being silent Mason looked up at me. How am I supposed to be okay with this? Why would Rachel be okay with this? How could she do this?

"Kelly, please say something. Anything, even if you just scream but please don't be quiet." Rachel said.

I was not even thinking about anything. I did not know how to feel. My best friend and the guy I loved. What am I supposed to say?

"What do you possibly what me to say?" I asked emotionless.

"Anything." Rachel said

I looked at Mason who continued looking at the floor.

"Kelly, I'm sorry." Rachel said but I ignored her, still looking at Mason. I stepped closer to him "Look at me." I demanded and he did.

"Tell me again how you made a mistake and how sorry you are." I said softly, kind of whispering and sarcastically, replaying what he said.

"I messed up and nothing I say or do will make that better. No matter what I say right now, you're not going to believe me." Mason said just as softly.

"Let's walk." I said and we walked away from the others, so that we could actually speak. Stopping on the side on the dorm building.

He continued to stare at the ground as he leaned against the wall and I stood in front of him. "Mason, you can't even look at me right now." I said calmly and softly.

He looked up at me and his eyes were red, he looked like he was on the verge of crying and I crossed my arms in front of my chest, stopping myself from hugging me. I know he messed up, I know he hurt me but I hated seeing him like this and no matter what I still cared about him.

"I can't look at you when all I see is hurt being reflected back at me. Kelly, I hurt you and that was something I never wanted to do but I did." He said in the same tone as me.

"Why Rachel? Why my best friend?"

"I'm not saying that it's not my fault because it is but she came into my room touching me, she kissed me. Kelly, she literally came into my room wanting to, I just allowed her."

"That doesn't make it any better."

"I know, but I need you to know that I did not lead her on." He said and we went silent "I know that you are not going to believe me but I love you." He continued.

"If you loved me, you wouldn't have slept with my best friend."

"Well I did and I do love you." He said pulling me closer to him "Kelly, you're the only girl I ever loved. I don't want anyone else but you." He said and I looked away while he spoke, as my throat started burning and my eyes became glossy. "Then why did push me away?" I asked looking back at him.

"I was jealous and mad and stupid."

"Mason, you made me choose between you and Brandon and I would have chosen you if you weren't the one making me choose." I said as a tear rolled down my cheek and he wiped it "I didn't want to be with Brandon, I wanted to be with you."

"Then be with me." Mason said pulling me into a hug as I cried against his chest.

I wanted to hate him so much right now but I did not. Why did I not? Anyone would hate him right now but I was hugging him, wanting him.  I closed my eyes and buried my face in his neck as he leaned again the wall.

I tightened my hug and he did he same.

Someone please tell me what to do because I do not know anymore. I don't know what to do and I don't know how to feel. Should I be here speaking to him? Should I be hugging him? Should I forgive him? Should I tell him what I did?

I continued crying against him and he pulled me in closer to him, just holding me. As if, if he held me tight enough our broken hearts would restore themselves. Hoping that the longer we stood here, the better things would become but
I hated this. I hated this feeling and I wanted it to stop, but it was not stopping. Our hearts were not restoring itself and things were not getting better because he still cheated on me, he still slept with my best friend and I was still the first girl to break Mason McConner's heart.

I slightly pulled away from his hug, just enough so that we could look at each other. He's eyes were blood red.
