A/N: I'm sorry that it has taken me longer to update than usual. I was having problems figuring out how I wanted the situation between Kevin and Gwen to continue. So here's my latest chapter in Kevin's point of view.
Chapter Nine
I climb into my emerald green camero, my fingers shake as I turn on the ignition. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do this.
I mean what am I going to say? What can I say. I know that she wants answers. She deserves answers. I'm just not sure that I'll be able to give any.
I'm not even sure if I have any.
I pull out of my driveway, making sure that I drive five miles under the speed limit the entire ride to Gwen's house. The longer time it takes for me to get to her house, the longer time I have until I have a heart attack or worse.
Her house comes into my vision, and beads of sweat begin to drown my forehead.
How the hell am I going to do this.
I put my car into park. The air around me is so silent. I sit there unable to move. I'm not even sure if I'm breathing evenly. What am I going to say?
What feels like an hour goes by. I'm still frozen in my seat.
An owl calls in the distance, and I nearly jump out of skin. I guess that was my warning. If I don't go talk to her now, I may never get the courage to.
I might not even have the guts now.
I climb up the tree near her bedroom window and carefully step onto the roof. My boots make way more noise than necessary. She's probably going to come out and knock me clear off of this thing, thinking I'm an intruder or something.
Well I guess that technically I am intruding, but that's besides the point.
Her bedroom window is open.
Of course they'll be not difficulty for me to get inside of ger room.
"Gwen," I whisper, sticking my head into the window. "Gwen."
There is peaceful, deep breathing coming from inside the room. She must have fallen asleep.
"You shouldn't have even come, you dumb ass," I mutter to myself as I step back, trying to bring my head out of Gwen's room. Unfortunately for me I lose my footing and crash down onto her bedroom floor.
Shit!
"Huh-wha-?" she gasps, half asleep, bringing herself up to a sitting position.
"Uh...hey, Gwen." My face is beet red. I'm glad she can't see it because of the dark.
"Kevin?" She turns on a light.
Never mind.
"Yeah it's me." Why the hell did I come here again?
"Um...well hi, but...why are you in my room at-uh...," she glances at her alarm clock, " One in the morning."
I really must have been sitting outside of her house for hours. "Oops."
"It's okay." She smiles sleepily.
"No it's not. I-"
"It's fine, Kevin, really."
"I'll just go." I turn to the window.
"But you just," she yawns, "got here.
I turn back towards her. "Yeah but it's late, and you're half asleep."
"Well I won't be able to sleep wondering why you came here, so spill."
"Fine." I walk towards her and sit on the edge of her bed. A few moments passed.
"Well?" she asks, eyebrows raised.
"W-well," I stutter, "you left that message on my answering machine, and-"
"Oh my gosh!" She blushes a deep crimson and falls onto her back. "I made complete idiot of myself on that thing!"
"No, no, no," I whisper, crawling beside her. She gives me a skeptical look. "Okay maybe you did, but it was quite refreshing." I lay down as well.
"Kevin."
"No really, you're cute when you make a complete idiot of yourself."
She giggles and yawns again.
"Look I really should go," I whisper. "You're dad might come in here with a hack saw and try to kill me or something.
I start to sit up, but she places a hand on my chest. "My parents aren't here."
"Why?" I ask, taking her placed hand and resting it in my own.
"There visiting my brother for the weekend."
"Oh."
She curls up next to me and closes her eyes. My heart beats a mile a minute.
Wait a minute...I'm in her bed...with her...alone...
Crap!
I need to get up. I'm going to lose my mind.
I can't repeat earlier today. I can't repeat earlier today.
Oh yeah we have to talk about that.
"Gwen?"
"Mmh-hmm?" she replies, eyes shut tight.
"About earlier today..." I turn my face away from her.
"Yeah?"
"About...you know..."
"Oh...right." Her voice turns to a sadder tone, "You probably just want to pretend that never happened, don't you?
'No."
"Then what do you want?"
I chance a glace at her. Her deep green eyes are starring into mine. My mind goes blank, "I-I-I-"
"Kevin?"
This isn't going well, "I really think I should go."
"Of course, Kevin. I am so sorry." She tries to pull away, but I hold her shoulders still.
"It's not like that, Gwen. I just-I just-I-
"You just what?"
I yawn. I've just realized how tired I am.
"If I stop asking you tonight, will you stay? You're tired, too. You can just sleep. I won't bother you or any-"
"Gwen, you don't bother me at all."
She smiles sheepishly.
"Sure I'll stay."
I fall asleep with Gwen in my arms.
God this girl is a taking a hold to me.
