A/N: The reviews are great, thanks to: DaleSnail, pink-jinx67, Nelle07, and SacrifiesFromTheHeart. Sorry it's been so long since my last update. I've been really busy with my two jobs and getting ready for the upcoming school year. I will be moving at the end of August so there is lots to do.
Chapter 12
Kaelyn felt Chuck's arms wrap around her waist as she looked out of the window. She smiled and leaned into his arms. "I think this one is perfect." She commented.
"Are you sure?" he asked planting a kiss on her cheek. "You said that about five of the last fifteen."
"I'm sure. I want this one." Kaelyn said happily.
Kaelyn and Chuck had finally picked a weekend that they thought would be the best one to go to Princeton to check out the campus and the surrounding area. While on the trip Kaelyn insisted that they look at apartments and houses. They had spent most of the afternoon looking at different ones until they arrived at the townhouse they were now inside. Kaelyn loved every detail of the one bedroom townhouse. Everything they needed was close by and the school wasn't far away. Leaning into Chuck's arms she continued to look out of the window at the lake that was across the street from the house.
"So it's this one?" Chuck asked.
"This one." Kaelyn said happily as she turned to him. She kissed him quickly before slipping from his arms and walking through the house again. He was right behind her looking down at this phone. Kaelyn turned around to him. "What'cha doing?" she asked.
"Texting my dad and telling him that we are getting this house." He said. They walked down the stairs and the realtor was standing in the living room smiling at the young couple. "We are going to take it." Chuck said.
Kaelyn smiled. She wanted to scream right then. She couldn't believe it. At the moment she thought that she had never felt that happy. She was with a guy that she loved and knew loved her. High School was almost over and she had been accepted to one of the best schools in the country. Upon starting school she and the man she loved were going to be moving into a beautiful home and it just seemed at that moment that after all the tears and drama everything was finally coming together.
"Have all the paperwork faxed to my father's office." Chuck said to the real estate agent.
"Will do." The agent said.
Together Forever
Well this weekend was a big one for our favorite couple of Kaelyn and Chuck because they have semi-concreted their future together with the purchase of their first place together. From what I hear they found a beautiful townhouse that looks towards a lake for the two of them once they are off at Princeton. Of everyone they seem like they are the most serious and after everything that has happened with them this just might be the real deal.

Kaelyn yawned as she stepped out of the cab in front of the school with Serena and Erik right behind her. She was completely exhausted from the entire weekend and just wanted to be back in bed. Walking up the stairs she smiled as she saw Ian waiting for her with a bag of what she knew were doughnuts. Jogging up the stairs she made her way to Ian who held out the bag.
"For you my dear." He said as he handed Kaelyn the bag that she took and opened immediately.
"Thanks." She said happily as she pulled out a glazed doughnut. And took a large bite from it. "Mmm the best." She commented with her mouth full.
"My grandmother is really excited to see you later on." Ian said as he took a doughnut from Kaelyn's bag.
"I'm happy to see her. It's been a little while with everything going on." Kaelyn commented as they walked together side by side.
"Enjoy your weekend?" Ian asked as they both made their way into the courtyard and took seats at an empty table.
"It was the best." Kaelyn said happily.
"That's good." Ian then said and then frowned. Kaelyn turned to see Chuck walking up behind her with a single red rose in is hand.
"Hey babe." Kaelyn said happily as she stood from the table and made her way to Chuck. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
"For you my dear." He said as he handed her the single rose.
"It's beautiful." Kaelyn said happily. She turned to the table and Ian was gone. The only thing left at the table was her bag of doughnuts. With a shrug Kaelyn walked over to the table and picked up the bag. She suddenly felt hands on her waist and giggled and then she felt lips on the skin of her neck. "Mmm." She moaned softly because turning around and kissing Chuck full on his lips.
"Are we still hanging out this evening?" Chuck asked as he looked down at Kaelyn whose smile then disappeared.
"We can't." she then said sadly.
"Huh, why?" he asked looking concerned.
"I am going to Ian's tonight." She said.
"Ian's?" Chuck asked taken aback suddenly.
"His grandmother." Kaelyn said and then suddenly the bell rang. "We will talk at break." Kaelyn said before kissing him quickly on the lips and slipping away from his arms. She jogged into the building with a wave.
After classes Kaelyn was exhausted and upset. At break she waited the entire time to talk to Chuck and he never showed to talk. When she texted or called him he didn't answer and she was annoyed. Standing outside she looked and saw him getting into the limo, but before she got a chance to wave or yell he was inside and leaving. Growling to herself she pulled out her phone and dialed him again and stood as it continued to ring over and over before getting his voicemail.
"Babe what's going on? We were supposed to meet at break and I've been trying to contact you all day, please call me back. Love you." She said before hanging up. When pulling her phone in her purse she looked up to see Ian jogging down the stairs.
"Hey you ready?" he asked.
"Yeah." She said sorrowfully forcing a smile.
"Something is wrong." He then commented.
"It's cool, no issue." Kaelyn then said as she started to walk. The two of them walked in silence before Ian finally spoke.
"Are you and Chuck having problems?" he then asked.
"Why would you ask that?" Kaelyn asked.
"You just seem too upset." He then said.
"It's nothing big or anything." She then said with a small forced laugh.
"If you insist." Ian then commented as they made it to his apartment building. Going inside and up to his apartment they were greeted by his grandmother who was doing aerobics in front of the TV.
"Kaelyln, dear!" she said happily before turning off the TV and walking to Kaelyn to give her a hug.
"It's so wonderful to see you." Kaelyn said.
Leaving Ian's Kaelyn walked down the street to catch a cab. She got out of the cab in front of the hotel. Making her way to Chuck's room she knocked on the door and it opened. Chuck stood in the doorway with a glass of vodka. Kaelyn forced a smiled at him.
"I've been leaving you messages." She said softly. "Ian's grandmother went to bed early so I thought we could still hang out."
"Whatever." He said simply as he moved to let Kaelyn in the room. Kaelyn sat her school bag and purse on the couch before walking over to near Chuck was and leaning against the wall.
"Are you mad at me?" Kaelyn then asked, but he said nothing. "Please tell me why you're mad at me."
"I never said I was mad." He then said.
"You are." She said. "Please why?"
"First off you ditch me for your other little boyfriend." He spat angrily.
"You know there is nothing going on with him." Kaelyn said in her defense.
"Really now?" he asked.
"Really." Kaelyn said as she walked over to him and kissed him quickly. "I love you and I don't see anything in Ian. I only went to spend time with his grandmother."
"When is she going to die anyways." He spat as he made his way to add more alcohol to his glass.
"Don't say that." Kaelyn said now getting angry at him.
"Well you spend all your time with the lady who is supposedly dying I just think I should still be getting time with you." He then said.
"You're not being fair." Kaelyn then said. "I spend tons of time with you."
"Well it seems like every time we have something planned you are running off with Ian and then Ian is always there whenever I show up anywhere it's Ian and there he is again Ian, Ian, Ian!" he yelled.
"He is my friend!" Kaelyn yelled in response.
"Trying to be a little more than a friend if you ask me!" he growled.
"Stop being jealous of nothing!" Kaelyn said.
"I'm not going to let him steal what's mine!"
"I'm not going to do anything with him then besides be his friend and that's that." Kaelyn responded trying to stay calm. "I don't want to argue about this anymore." She then said in as calm of voice as she could.
"Whatever, bitch." Chuck then said.
Kaelyn turned to him with tears in her eyes shaking her head. "What did I do to get that?"
"Just get out!" he said.
"Babe please let's just talk calmly." She then said as she tried to force herself to not cry.
"GET THE HELL OUT!" he yelled.
Kaelyn then turned and grabbed her things off the couch before walking out of the room without a word. Tears ran down her face as she got into the elevator. Walking outside she walked alone with her tears still flowing. As she walked she heard someone call her name, but the only thing on her mind was to get him. She then felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Ian.
"You left your notebook at my place and I knew you should be hereā¦..what's wrong?" he then asked.
"Chuck and I had a fight." She forced through her tears. Ian grabbed her into a hug and Kaelyn cried onto his chest.
"Here let's get you somewhere." Ian said as she put his arm around her shoulder and walked her to his apartment that wasn't far. Inside he walked her into his bedroom and let her sit on the bed. Kaelyn continued to cry as she sat.
"I don't know what happened it just got from bad to worse." Kaelyn said as she tried to sniff away her tears.
"It's going to be alright." Ian said as he held her in his arms. Kaelyn looked up at him and Ian gave her a reassuring smile. Kaelyn then smiled back and suddenly their lips connected. Kaelyn's arms went around his neck as Ian intensified the kiss. He pulled her to where she was now lying down on the bed and his hands were now unbuttoning her uniform shirt. Opening her shirt he pulled it off of her as Kaelyn worked to pull Ian's shirt from over his head. Rushing and out of breath Ian yanked off Kaelyn's shirt and started on her underwear when Kaelyn sat up shaking her head.
"I can't do this." She said out of breath. "This is what the whole fight was about this is wrong I can't do this." She said as she pulled her shirt back on and sat up in the bed. She picked up her skirt and put it back on. The entire time Ian sat on the bed watching her every more. "I've got to go home." Kaelyn said quickly as she grabbed her things and rushed out of his room and the apartment as a whole.
Walking alone Kaelyn was out of breath and confused. Everything that was taking place with Ian felt so good and if it wasn't for her thinking she would have let it continue. With Chuck she had no idea what was going on between then. They went from happy to not so quickly she was scared of what the result might be. They had already started to make a future together and now it seemed as if it was falling apart.
