I Didn't Mean To Hurt You

Everyone wants something from April and she doesn't know what to do about it. Leyton wants to be her boyfriend and so does Reece, but you see April has feelings for both guys and that's what makes the whole situation suck even more. One part of her heart is pulling her towards Leyton because they have history and she did lose her virginity to him and then the other part of her heart is pulling her towards Reece because he has been there for her through everything since she arrived in Tree Hill and he makes her happy just like Leyton does. April just doesn't know what to do. Sitting in the spot where Reece and April went to be alone and chill April started to think about the good times they've had together and how he made her happy even though they had that break up where everything went pear shaped, but Reece did make her really happy and April didn't know if she wanted to give that up.

"Hey" April heard, she sat up and turned to find October standing there "Can I join you?"

"It's a free country do what you like" April replied settling back down and looking at the grass just like she was a minute ago.

"How you doing?" October put her jacket down and sat on it

"I'm doing fine thank you" April responded starting to pick at the grass "Just thinking"

"About Reece or Leyton?" October questioned looking at her sister

"Both" April sat up and crossed her legs "Don't look at me like that O" April turned and looked at her sister "I know I screwed up, but this isn't my fault I didn't know Leyton was coming back and I didn't know I was going to dump Reece because I panicked. I didn't know any of this was going to happen and I don't know what to do about it. I was just frustrated with everything, you and Lilly. Reece and Leyton and then the girls who have been trying to get Reece. It's all just too much for a 16 year old to deal with"

October nods taking April's hand "I'm sorry A" April looked up at her sister and smiled "I should have been there for you instead of picking at you about the situation. I know it's hard to deal with alone and I wasn't a good sister"

"It's okay I understand what you were trying to do. You were trying to get me to deal with it all and not push it aside like I would have done. I get that now. I just don't know how to deal with it or what to do" April tells her sister "I'm in love with Reece, like I can't lose him not now. His my everything, but then you have Leyton who I care for deeply and we have history"

"Yeah you and Leyton have history A, but you and Reece have a future you have memories and you were happy when he called you his girl, but now your his ex and that's what every girl is seeing" October explained to April "So if you want him you have to get him now otherwise you'll lose him for good and I don't want to be horrible because I love you, I just don't want you to lose the guy you love"

"Your right, I have to choose and I have to choose tonight and go get who I want tomorrow" April stood up picking her jacket up and helping her sister up "Thanks O, I love you too"

"You're welcome and I'll always love you girl, where twins. We have a greater connection then anyone" April laughed "Oh I forget to tell you Kieran and I are back together"

"What?" April sounded confused "I thought you guy weren't on talking terms"

"We weren't, but he came to me saying he missed me and I missed him so much too. I would cry at night because I wanted him and now I have him" October replied

"I'm happy for you sis" April hugged October "I have to go, but I'll see you at practice after school in about an hour"

"Yeah okay see ya then" April then walked off and headed back into the school building.

"Luke honey" Brooke walked into his study "The boys are asleep in the nursery and the girls should be home after cheer practice, so I going to the grocery store"

"Okay honey" Lucas looked up at Brooke "Could you get some diet coke for the girls and some chicken stakes for dinner?"

"Yeah sure honey anything else?" Brooke asked

"Erm... nope I don't think so oh actually don't forget the diapers for the boys and some juice" Lucas replied

"Of course, okay so I'll be like half hour to an hour" Brooke turns and walks out of the study

"Okay see you then Pretty Girl" Lucas reply getting back to reading his book.

...

Practice had finished and everyone was packing up to leave, April could see some of the girls giving glances at Reece. She didn't like that one little bit, she also didn't like the feeling of losing him and then her heart clicked back together and she knew what she wanted and who she wanted. Reece wasn't giving the glances back he was just looking at her. April looked up and saw Reece give her a smile which she returned.

Suddenly it seemed that they were the only two in the gym, everyone else faded. April could vaguely hear what October and Lilly were saying until it seemed to drown out and she couldn't hear or see anyone, but Reece. They were perfect together and have been ever since they got together about 2 years ago now. Reece captain of the basketball team and April captain of the cheerleaders.

They were meant to be and April knew that now. Her eyes appeared to be stuck on Reece's, they hadn't broke their gaze since they connected and everyone seemed to realise that when they all stopped what they were doing and watched the two staring at each other and before April knew what she was doing, before she thought about it April dropped her pom poms on the ground and walked across the gym to Reece. Everyone was watching her wondering what she was going to do.

April reached Reece and he looked down at her, she stopped and brought her hand up to his face stroking his cheek. Her touch sent an electric current through his body. Just one touch could do that to a guy if he was in love with that person and Reece was. He was so in love with April that when she broke up with him he couldn't sleep, eat or drink. No seemed to be doing anything they were just watching including Leyton who April totally forgot about. April then smiled at Reece as he smiled back she grabbed onto his white t-shirt and pulled him down to her level as their lips met with a kiss everyone knew who April had picked. She had picked the guys she's in love with; she picked the guy she couldn't stop thinking about. She picked Reece. After the kiss had finished Reece pulled April into him as everyone cheered, April pulled back and jumped into his arms "Don't ever leave me again baby" Reece whispered to her as she kissed him again. When she jumped down she saw Leyton standing over at the bleachers watching.

"OMG" April said to herself "I forgot Leyton" April pulled herself from Reece's embrace and started to walk over to Leyton who stood up and looked at her, he shook his head so she stopped and then she watched him leave the gym. April turned around and looked back at Reece who told her to go. He knows she picked him so there's no harm in her going after Leyton. Not anymore "Leyton wait" April says as she runs out the gym seeing Leyton walking to his car "Leyton please let me explain"

"There's nothing to explain April" Leyton said as he stopped and turned to face her as she stopped too. He called her April something he hardly ever done. Normally it's Pretty A or just A, but not this time. His upset and April understands that, but she at least wants the chance to explain "You picked Reece clearly" Leyton stated pointing to the gym "But thank you for telling me oh wait you didn't you just jumped into his arms and kissed him making me look like the idiot. I thank you for that April. Just what I wanted" Sarcasm was dripping from those words and April knew he was right, she should have told him, but then again she didn't even know it was going to happen something just told her to do it.

"I'm sorry" April stepped closer to him, but he stepped back making her face drop even more.

"Yeah me too" Leyton nodded "I'm sorry that I ever met you, I'm sorry I ever slept with you, I'm sorry I even liked you and I'm sorry my dad took the job here because now I have to see your face every day"

"You don't mean any of that" April had tears in her eyes "I was your first and you were mine"

"Yeah and I regret it, every part of it" Leyton saw how he just broke April's heart, but she broke his first "I regret ever meeting you April Scott and I can't wait for the day we graduate so I don't have to see you again" Leyton then turned and started to his car.

"Please Leyton don't say those things" April begged as a tear feel down her face, she followed him until they stopped at his car "You don't meant it. I understand you're angry with me"

Leyton scuffed "Just do me a favour April, stay away from me. Can you do that for me?" He asked still with sarcasm that April didn't like.

"But what if I don't want to?"

"I want you too; I want you to stay away from me forever. I don't want you talking to me or referring to me or anything and in the gym at practice just stare and eye lock your boyfriend because I'm done with you April. You made me look like a fool in front of everyone and that is why I want you out my life. You could have talked to me about it and at least I wouldn't feel like I feel now. I'm sorry that you're hurting, but you done this all by yourself. Aren't you a clever girl" Leyton still had the sarcasm dripping from his words as he opened his car door and got in slamming it making April flinch. He turned the engine on and then looked back up at April "I guess where done here and you can go back and jump into your boyfriends arms because we know how you don't liking hurting people right?"

"Leyton I'm sorry" April apologised again as tears feel down her face "Please don't do this, I need you"

"You don't need me" Leyton shook his head "You have Reece"

"Yeah, but you just cut me out your life for good" April cried

Leyton hated to see April like this, but she brought it on herself. Did she ever stop to think why Leyton was doing this "Did you ever stop to think why I'm doing this?"

April shook her head "No, why are you doing this to me?"

"Because it's too damn hard April" Leyton confessed softening his voice "It's too hard to see what I just saw every day. To have you in my life, but not being able to have you, kiss you and call you mine again. It's just too hard and I lost you once and now I've lost you again and this time I can't deal with it"

"So you didn't mean what you just said about regretting everything?"

"I could never mean those things A" Leyton got out of his car and stood in front of her "I could never regret any of that. I was just mad and I thought if I said all of that you'll hate me and never speak to me again to make this easier" Leyton explained "I guess that didn't work" April gave him a small smile as he cupped her face in his hand and kissed her cheek "You were my first A and I was yours I would never regret that so don't think it. I love you baby girl and I always will"

"I'm sorry" April pulled Leyton into her and she cried as he wrapped his arms around her small figure feeling her shaking in his arms "I'm so sorry, I love you Ley I do, but Reece is my world and I need him. I want him, but I don't want to lose you" April sobbed into his white shirt "Please don't leave me Ley, please don't walk out of my life"

"I have to A" Leyton held her tighter "I have to, I can't handle seeing the girl I love be with the one she loves, I just can't, but just remember I'll always be here just not around you"

"I really am sorry Leyton" April pulls back from him "I didn't mean to hurt you"

"I know you didn't, I just felt jealousy when I saw you kiss him" Leyton admitted "I wished it was me you wanted"

"I love you"

"I love you too baby girl" Leyton then leaned down and kissed her on the lips, just one last kiss before he walked out of her life and moved on. He got into his car turned the engine off and sped off home. April stood staring at his car leaving the school grounds. Tears feel down her face as she just watched the guy she cared about leave her and for good this time.

So please tell me what you think? Please review it the more I get reviews the more it gets me writing. I hope you like it. I know this makes Leyton sound bad, but I reversed his hatred at the end because I couldn't have him hate April even though she deserved it a little loool.
