Chapter Four- Mistakes

The sun streamed brightly into my eyes. I blinked and glanced around. I was in my room. The only problem was I don't remember getting her. I remember Trent picking me up and brining me to the limo and then Dave getting in saying something about driving me home. I rolled over trying to remember more. I whimpered in pain, my body was so tense. Apparently the incident with Ricky sent my body into shock. The door opened and Trent walked in. He was carrying a tray with pancakes on it.

"Hey, sleepyhead." He greeted

"What time..?" I tried to ask, but my voice cracked and then nothing else would come out. Trent set the pancakes down and helped me sit up despite my groaning.

"Almost two in the afternoon." Trent said. I was about to ask another question, but he had left the room.

I slowly ate the pancakes. It hurt even to move my arm from the plate to my mouth. When I was done I pushed the tray aside and lay down looking out the window annoyed. I had so many questions for Trent, but he just left. Well he left to the living room anyway; I could hear him walking around. Suddenly I really needed to talk to him. I tried to get out of bed, but as soon as I tried to stand up I fell backwards onto the bed. When I fell onto the bed the plate banged against the knife and fork making a loud noise. Trent came running in to see what happened. He looked at me confused and I shrugged. I reached for a pad of paper next to the bed, but my arms were too short. Trent handed it to me, well he more like threw it at me. I scribbled down a note asking if he could take me into the living room and give me a glance of water. He nodded and picked me up and carried me out into the living room. There he laid me gently on the couch and then got me a glance of water. After drinking it my voice was back.

"What are you doing here?" I asked

"I couldn't leave you back there." He said not looking at me, but out the window

"Thanks."

"You and I need to talk."

"Yeah, we do." I agreed

"I don't want to beat around the bush so to begin, I still love you. I mean I've seen a lot of other people, but I would always compare them to you and none of them came close."

"I've seen other people too, but they just didn't cut it like you did."

"But do you still love me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why do you always avoid this question?"

"I don't… I don't know."

"Kira answer the question. Do you still love me?"

"I just don't know."

"Well I have to leave if I'm going to catch my plane back to Reefside."

With that he was gone. I fell over onto the couch and started sobbing into a pillow before I fell asleep. When I awoke I was still crying. Why was it so hard for me to say yes? I do still love him. Why can't I just say that to his face? I glanced at the clock it was only an hour later. I stood up knowing exactly what I had to do next. I ran to my room to get dressed (my body felt so much better now). I just hoped that his plane hadn't left yet. At the airport I ran up to one of the main desks.

"When is the next plane going to leave for Reefside?" I asked the lady at the desk

"It was scheduled to leave a half hour ago." She said

"Great."

"There was a delay and the plane probably won't leave for another three hours."

"Thanks!" I said walking away

Now all I had to do is find Trent. After about an hour of walking around I spotted him. He was waiting in a line to get onto another plane! I ran as close as I could get and screamed his name. He turned to look at me confused. I signaled for him to come over. He signaled that he was about to get onto a plane. As if I didn't already know that. I signaled for him to come over to me. He sighed and reluctantly he came over.

"What could you possibly want that bad?" he asked annoyed

"Look I'm sorry. I do still love you. I just don't know why I can't say it!" I said falling down on the ground sobbing. He knelt down beside me and pulled me into a hug. It felt good to be in his big strong arms. I felt safe again, like nothing could touch me.
