Seriously, you guys are so nice. Thank you so so so so much. I love you all. I made a chappie see? All for you. XD
I do not own beyblade…yea you get the point. So for all the chapters to which I forgot to put a disclaimer…this applies to them too. Okie? Okie
Chapter 17- Trying to BelieveI don't know what I expected after that. For him to miraculously awaken and tell me that he loved me too and we could live happily ever after. My fairy tale ending though, isn't part of real life. He continued to sleep and I brushed a few strands of hair from his eyes. It hurts to watch him be so close.
"I told you so"
I jumped up and whipped around. Tala was standing quietly in the doorway.
"How long have you been there?" I asked.
He shrugged, "Long enough to hear you tell him"
"I-I was lying," I spluttered, trying to cover it up. I'm not sure why exactly, but I didn't want anyone to know how I felt. I think because then it would be real. It would only make it hurt more.
"You're lying now," he observed knowingly, leaning against the door frame.
"I…I…" I looked away silently and he walked over.
Leaning down beside me, he said softly, "He's been there all night"
"Why?" I said quietly, looking at the sleeping boy in surprise.
"Because he was worried about you, almost kicked Michael's ass again too" he said, a small smile pulling at the corner of his lips. I let out a small laugh. It was nice to know he still cared about me, even a little.
"My head hurts"
"You got a little drunk"
"I wasn't myself"
"I noticed" he said, "You don't dress like that too often"
I blushed a little realizing how much skin I was showing. Tala rolled his eyes, "I'm not going to go after my best friends girl"
I smiled weakly despite myself; "I'm not his girl anymore"
He shrugged again, "Not officially I guess"
"What does that mean?" I asked him is confusion. Not officially? Try not at all, he broke up with me.
"Talk to him Destiny" he told me before standing up and exiting the room, shutting the door softly behind him with a click.
I stood up slowly. I smelled like beer and my clothes were really uncomfortable so I decided to take a shower. There was an outfit laid out at the foot of my bed and I mentally thanked Kailee as I grabbed it and headed into the bathroom.
I walked out dressed in a pink floral skirt and a wide neck white tee, running a brush through my blow-dried hair. I dropped the brush and gasped a little when I saw Kai staring at me through his deep auburn eyes.
"I, um, thought you were asleep" I said awkwardly, fidgeting with my fingers.
"I was" he replied, his voice calm and cool. How could he sit there so calmly? My palms were getting a little sweaty.
"Oh, ok" I said lamely. When I looked back at him, our eyes locked. I found myself walking slowly toward him, entranced. Then the words started pouring out.
"What happened Kai? What did I do wrong? Why are you here? What's going on? Did you use me or something?" I said, getting louder by the word. Finally I was screaming, "Why did you sleep with that whore? Why did you do this to me?"
My fists were clenched at my sides and tears of anger streamed down my cheeks, "Kate, Kai. It's fucking Kate. You told me it would never ha—"
I never got to finish; Kai got up so quickly, pulled me roughly to him and kissed me. I returned it immediately, I couldn't resist. This was what I wanted; I wanted him to be mine. He began to trail kisses down my neck and I moaned in pleasure. When we broke apart I didn't pull myself out of his embrace.
"Kai" I whispered, gazing up into his eyes, "Please don't do this"
He searched my eyes for a moment, before shaking his head, "I have to"
"Why?" I said earnestly as his arms dropped from my waist.
"I just do" he replied, shaking his head slowly.
I stared at him in confusion, "I don't understand"
"You don't have to" he said, and then turned on his heel and walked out of the room.
…………xoxo………
"Are you sure that's what he said?" Cassidy asked me for the third time.
"Yes" I replied in annoyance, now regretting coming to her for help.
"Ok, ok, don't get mad" she replied, waving her hand lightly.
I sighed, but nodded, "So what do ya think?"
"Well" she began, her voice analytical, "I think he's still interested"
"How do you figure that one?"
She paused for a moment, stroking her chin in thought, "He kissed you for starters"
"Maybe he thinks I'm a good kisser?"
"Don't flatter yourself Des"
I crossed my arms and glared at her, "It was just an idea"
"Yea, yea whatever" she said, dismissing my suggestion, "And he said that he had to, had to Des. Not wanted to. HAD TO"
I sent her a weird look. She was going mental on me. I said flatly, "I think I get it"
"Good, so there you go"
"What?" I said, "No"
"What more do you want?"
"Did you even listen to what I said?" I asked her suspiciously. I had just before told her word for word what happened between Kai and I last night.
"Yes, I did. You went crazy and started blasting questions at him, then he kissed you and you asked him not to do this to you and he said I have to"
"Umm, yea" I replied. It sounded kind of retarded the way she was explaining, but it was the truth. I sighed.
"Ok then" she said, focusing her attention on the TV.
I turned it off and she turned and glared at me. "So what should I do?"
"Well, you should ask him" she shrugged.
"Your funny" I replied sarcastically.
"Turn the TV back on"
"Cassidy please" I whined and she sighed turning her attention from the blank screen to me.
"Alright, fine" she gave in, finally putting some thought into my situation.
"Oh, one more thing" I offered, ignoring her annoyed look, "I'm in love with him"
Her eyes widened dramatically, "Seriously?"
"Yea" I said in return, leaning back on her couch.
"You have to tell him"
"What?", I exclaimed incredulously.
"That's what you have to do Destiny, tell him that you love him"
I could do that. I could. I could also see that ending in failure.
…………xoxo……………
"Do it now" Cassidy ordered me as we approached the cafeteria at lunch on Monday. I stared at her doubtfully.
"Yes of course, that's what I want Cass. Everyone watching me as I confess my undying love to him and then watch as the entire table falls over in hysterics" I retorted sarcastically.
"You idiot"
"How am I an idiot?" I asked. Really, if anyone is an idiot it is most definitely Cass.
"Look he's leaving, you keep throwing away your chances"
I stared at her blankly, how was that ever a chance?
……………xoxo…………..
Kai's POVI tailed Tala out to the tall oak tree. People slumped down under its bare branches, gossiping noisily. I leant against the tree, one hand in my pocket.
"Kai?" Kate asked me cheerily, "Are you alright honey?"
"Fine" I muttered in reply, turning my head to watch the houses across the street. She stepped back into my view.
"Are you sure? Do you want me to make it all better sweetie?" she giggled.
"I'm fine" I replied coldly, with a tone of finality. She caught that, and pranced off to go gossip with Rose and Chelsea.
I sighed as I ran a hand through my hair. I couldn't get her out of my head. It wasn't like me, to dwell on a girl for so long. Or even dwell on one at all. But she had done it, or rather I had allowed her to break through my barriers. I knew the first time I saw her, she was different. But I never thought, that she would ever mean so much to me.
I glanced over to my apparent future wife. She was laughing, a hand on her hip. But her smile wasn't sincere and her eyes looked more annoyed than happy.
I shifted my eyes away from her and to the ground where an ant was trying to carry a piece of a leaf without much success. As I watched him struggle I didn't notice everyone around me stop talking. It was just the little guy and me. I thought so anyway.
"Kai"
It was the faintest of voices, and I could barely hear it. But I knew, without looking up it was her.
"Kai, could you just hear me out?" she pleaded softly and I looked up to meet her gaze. I nodded slowly in reply.
She started, quietly. But you couldn't blame her with so many people listening, "I know that you don't want to see me any more, and I know that you're with, Kate"
"Engaged actually" Kate piped up amusedly from her group, but she had no ring to show for it. There was no way I'd give her my parents' ring.
Her eyebrows raised, as she flicked her eyes to Kate and then back to me, "Well, congratulations I guess"
I could see that she wasn't going to finish now. I could tell by the hurt that was clouding in her eyes. She tried to smile for me.
"Well, I will, uh, just be going now then" she said quickly.
"Finish what you started" I replied and she stopped her retreat. She breathed in deeply before turning back to face me. She nodded.
"Please don't make me do this in front of them" She whispered barely audible. I nodded and then started walking to the school. Stopping at the brick wall I leant against it and then turned to hear her speak.
"Um, thanks" she said, rather awkwardly as she pulled at the hem of her skirt. "Well, as, uh, I was" she stopped herself and then closed her eyes before starting again, clearly this time "As I was saying I know that we aren't really 'we' anymore and now I know that you are getting married to Kate, strangely enough" she laughed hollowly to herself at that before she continued to speak again.
"Well, I am actually kind of wondering why you are marrying her, at such a young age and of course with such a, uh, short relationship" she stumbled through her words, looking at the hem of her skirt as she spoke, "Is she pregnant or something?"
I smiled slightly, despite myself, "No. It's not possible…that's its mine anyway"
She looked up at me in surprise, "You mean, you never…"
I shook my head and she smiled, and her body seemed to relax.
"Oh, well that's a relief" She said before thinking, than blushed and turned her eyes back to her skirt, "So, uh, why then?"
"I have t"
"Please don't bullshit me Kai" she interrupted, "I want to know, the reason"
"Destiny, I can't," I said and I watched her hopeful look turn to disappointment.
She stared at me, her eyes searching mine. I knew she was trying to break through, and I knew I couldn't let her. Then when I thought she was going to leave she threw her arms around my neck and kissed me. I could taste the saltiness of her tears in the kiss and I could feel her hope and her sorrow and her need through that kiss. I put my arm around her waist, pulling her closer. She deepened the kiss, clinging to me as if she could never let go. I entwined my fingers through her hair, feeling it slip between my fingers.
"GET OFF HIM YOU FUCKING WHORE BAG"
We broke apart and I looked over her shoulder to see Kate storming towards us. Destiny looked up at me quickly, wanting me to tell her what to do. I let go of her.
"You better go" I said and gave her a little push, watching as the seething brunette came closer and closer.
"Wait Kai, there's something I have to tell you" she said earnestly, clutching at my shirt, "Please"
"GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF MY BOYFRIEND" Kate shrieked as she made it to us. Her arms were raised and ready to hit the girl in front of me. I shoved her roughly out of the way and caught Kate's fist in my hand.
"What are you doing?" she screamed angrily at Destiny, "You can't go around kissing other girl's husbands"
"He probably never even asked you to marry him" Destiny spat in reply, her fists clenched at her sides, "What did you do, Get daddy to make him?"
Then she gasped, "Of course, that is what you did"
Kate scowled, "You think he could have made Kai marry me? Do you even know Kai?"
It's annoying, the way they talk about me as if I'm not standing right beside them.
"Know him?" she said, adding a small skeptical laugh, "I love him"
Her eyes went wide and she bit her lip anxiously, "I-I mean, I, um, I have to go"
She ran off before I could stop her. Her hair flew behind her in the wind as she ran inside and disappeared.
"Isn't that touching? She just can't get over you baby," Kate laughed, laying a hand on my arm. I shrugged it off and walked away.
Follow your heart Kai…. I hope you chose the right girl.I wanted to. I wanted her. More than anything.
I could kill her and you could never prove it… there is always need for test subjects in the lab
But could I really risk it?
Destiny's POV
I tried to make my eyes turn back to their normal white colour. It wasn't working though and I think they were getting worse. I locked myself into a stall and stared down at my hands. How could I have been so stupid? I didn't even tell him that I loved him, I told Kate. How unromantic could you get? I always thought the first time I told a guy that I love him would be special, romantic. Maybe under the moonlight. And then he's tell me he loved me too. I cringed at that thought, as if he loved me. All I had done was make a fool out of myself. I picked myself up as the bell rang, I had to go to class.
It appeared my entire English class knew about it. Although they all seem to think that Kai stepped in valiantly and confessed his undying love to Kate. Which, I know for a fact didn't happen and that Kai would never do something like that. Unless he was in some sort of Shakespeare world thing, where all the guys are strangely overly romantic and dramatic. In other words, kind of gay. In my opinion anyway.
After school I went to find Mark at his locker and surprisingly found him there with Cass. I hid around the corner and peeped around it to watch.
"When are we going to tell Des?" Cass asked, she was leaning back in Mark's embrace, her hands lightly on his shoulders.
"I don't know" he replied, leaning down to kiss her.
I smiled, it was about time they got together. They were perfect for each other, really. I turned and left them there to be with each other. It made my heart ache to see them so happy though, it reminded me of Kai and I. The way we were before. The way I wanted us to be again.
I sat down on the bench along the path outside. It was windy and my hair was flying everywhere. I didn't care though. Looking down at my locket I turned it over in my hand, feeling the smooth silver with my thumb. I opened it letting it lie in my palm, both halves staring up at me. My family was smiling up at me from one half, my dad was there too. I smiled, I wished he was there.
I shifted my eyes to the other side. Not too long ago, before this mess happened I had put in a photo. It was the same one I had drawn, with Kai and I dancing with each other. There was a smile, barely visible pulling at his lips and he was watching me, and if I hadn't known better I would have thought he was watching me lovingly. Another tear rolled down my cheek as I watched us, so happy together, that it hurt so much more now. The tear fell onto the glass covering our picture, a droplet forming over our happy faces.
I snapped it shut.
………..xoxox………..
I don't really have much to say here except please review. I will love you forever. I think that its almost done, I can't say how many chapters are left cuz I'm not sure exactly whats going to happen. I make it up as I go. I should really make a story board once in a while, maybe then I won't get so many writers blocks….
And I put Cass and Mark together since so many people wanted them to be, I didn't go into it much, I'm sorry but they are. So…yea…YAY I guess.
Anyway, REVIEW!
