Chapter 2 –
Friday evening couldn't come fast enough for Kaelyn. All the girls were packed and they met the boys in front of the school where there were taxis waiting to take them to Kings Cross Train Station. All of them boarded the train together. Kaelyn sat next to Ian who was on the phone telling his mom that he was going to be at William's place for the weekend. Tristan sat back in her seat with her iPod while Jessica flipped through a magazine. Roxie was caught up with William in a conversation. Kaelyn looked out the window as the train began to move. William's parents owned a vacation home in South England. From what Kaelyn heard it was beautiful and right on the cliffs where you could see the ocean crashing against the shore.
"Ready for the weekend?" Ian asked Kaelyn. Kaelyn turned from the window and smiled.
"I so am. I needed a break." She said happily as she watched the city disappear.
"Will's place is awesome. You are sure to have a good time." Ian said.
"I bet." Kaelyn said happily.
Kaelyn opened her eyes with a yawn. Her head was rested on Ian's shoulder and his jacket was around her for warmth. She smiled to herself and snuggled back into his shoulder with a smile. She then felt Ian's arm tighten it's grip around her.
"Hey sleepy." He said as his fingers went through her hair.
"Hey." She said looking up at him from his shoulder. He moved and kissed her forehead gently. Kaelyn closed her eyes, but at once felt the train begin to come to a stop.
They all took taxis to William's place. It was already dark when they got there, but Kaelyn could hear the ocean's roar. Hearing the ocean reminded her of being home in California. The place she lived with her parents was right on the beach and she went to bed every night with the sound of the ocean. Ian held her hand as they walked into the house. Kaelyn noticed Roxie looking at her and she quickly let go of Ian's hand. The girls were led by a member of the house staff to where they would be staying. All of them had their own bedrooms. Kaelyn sat on her bed and opened the window to hear the ocean.

Chuck had arrived in London at about 6:30. He took a taxi right to the school, but when he went to the office he was told that he just missed Kaelyn who wasn't going to be at school for the weekend and wouldn't be back until Sunday evening. He cursed himself and got a taxi to his dad's hotel in Central London.

After dinner the group of friends sat in the sitting room playing board games and laughing. William had invited a few friends from the area who all joined. Kaelyn stood at a counter with a beer in her hand as she laughed at her friends. Ian joined her at the counter.
"So having fun?" he asked.
"The best time." She said with a smile. "I haven't had this much fun in a long time."
"I'm glad." He said as he ran his hand through her hair.
"Hey you two join us. We're going to play spin the bottle." Roxie shouted from there the group had assembled on the floor. Kaelyn and Ian both made their way to the carpet. Ian sat across from Kaelyn and winked at her. Kaelyn smiled and tried not to blush. William was first and he spinned and landed on Jessica. They gave one another a simple peck and then Jessica went and landed on William's friend Derek. After he landed on Kaelyn. He tried to give her more of a simple kiss, but Kaelyn only kept it at that. Kaelyn then gave the bottle a spin and it landed right on Ian. She blushed a bit and leaned forward.
Kaelyn and Ian's lips met, but it didn't end quickly. Kaelyn's hand moved to Ian's shoulder as he placed his hand on her cheek. They would have kept going if everyone hadn't to start to whistle. They quickly moved away and back to their places. Ian landed on Tristan and he gave her a peck, but his eyes stayed on Kaelyn.
It was about 2am when William's friends left. All the friends made it to their rooms. Kaelyn sat on her bed and looked out the window. She looked out towards the ocean and smiled to herself. She thought maybe it was time to move on. She wasn't sure of it but she was ready to move on. She was tired of feeling sorry for herself and being afraid. She took the time to think about it and she was ready. She was going to date, Ian.
In the morning everyone joined in the kitchen for breakfast, everyone, but Ian. Kaelyn sat there looking around hoping he would come down. She made her way to her room where she showered and dressed for the day. Walking down the hall she peeked into Ian's room where he was still sleeping. She smiled and closed the door softly. The day was pretty uneventful with everyone going out on William's parent's boat and having lunch at a small little bistro. They all had a great time at dinner together. Kaelyn and Ian hadn't talked much during the day, but spent a lot of the time looking at one another and making eye contact a few times.
Kaelyn stood out on the balcony watching the ocean. She heard footsteps and saw Ian behind her with a duffle bag.
"I was going down to the beach to have a bon fire. Care to come?" he asked.
"I'd love to." She said. She and Ian went down to the beach there he started a small fire. He wrapped his arms around her as they sat on a blanket. Kaelyn watched the waves crash against the sand.
"It's beautiful tonight." Ian said.
"Very." Kaelyn said happily. "Ian I was thinking. Well when I first got here you asked me out and I told you I wasn't ready. Well I'm ready. I am actually more than ready."
Ian didn't say a word, but just smiled and kissed her passionately. Kaelyn and Ian spent the night on the beach. She awoke in his arms and smiled at Ian. The fire had went out during the night. They packed up the blankets together and made their way back to the house. Everyone else wasn't awake yet. Everyone spent the Sunday relaxing before going back to school. They arrived at the school in the evening. Kaelyn and Ian walked together hand in hand. He walked her to there the boys and girls dorms separated themselves. He walked her to the door and kissed her passionately.
"Good Night Princess." He said.
"Night." Kaelyn said with a blush. "See you tomorrow."
"You two. Sleep well." He said with a kiss on her cheek. Kaelyn smiled before going through the door and up towards her dorm. She checked her email where she had a few from Serena and Jenny. She messaged them back. As in every message Serena begged her to come back for spring break.

Chuck arrived back at the school hoping to be there when Kaelyn returned and he was. He got out of the taxi and went to walk towards her, but he saw her holding the hand of another guy. He watched as they went inside and he watched as they kissed. He was too late. He was hoping he still had a chance, but when he saw Kaelyn with that guy he knew that he had lost her heart forever. He wanted to be the guy that she held onto and the one she knew was always going to be there, but she stood there kissing this guy and unlike before he didn't see pain written all over her face, but she was smiling and she looked happy.

Kaelyn sat in her room as her cell phone rang. She smiled when she saw it was from Ian. She answer the phone with happiness and cheer.
"Hey!" she said happily.
"Hey princess. I just got off the phone with my mum and my gran isn't doing well and they think she might pass soon. So she hasn't traveled outside the country and she wants to see New York before she dies so I know you lived in New York and you talked about your cousin wanting you to come for spring break and that's when my mum says we will take gran. So how about you come along. You can be a tour guide and plus I've gone on the tourist things in New York so I might as well spend some time with you." Ian explained.
"That sounds fun. You can meet my cousin who is dying to meet you." She said.
"So you will come to New York with us?" he asked.
"I will." Kaelyn said happily.
"Sounds fantasic. I will ring mum." He said. "Good night Princess."
"Good night." Kaelyn said.
She hung up the phone and sat there. She hadn't been back to New York since she left. What scared her the most was the probability of seeing Chuck, but she was going with Ian and she was going to spend most of her time with him, but she couldn't wait to see her family and friends. It was going to be an interesting trip back to New York.
