Kendall's POV
"I-I don't know. By, the time I realized it. I find myself looking at you, and smiling!" Jo explains, she puts her hand in mine, and slides slower to me. She plants her lips upon mine. My eyes rise in shock. This is wrong. This is completely wrong!
Then, I hear the loud door close. Jo lifts her lips from mine, I look behind us to see Lucy. Her eyes begin to be filled with tears. With nothing to say, she bolts out of the gym slamming the door behind her. I quickly get up to chase after her, but I feel a my shirt being tugged.I turn to face Jo.
"Please don't go." she looks to the floor. I use my hand to tilt her head upward to confront me.
"Jo, for the past 2 year I've gotten to know you is a blessing to me. You're an incredible girl, but I have someone I love. I can't put myself to love anyone else more than her. I'm sorry." I lean and plant a kiss on her forehead, and I run down the steps and out the gymnasium.
I get out of the gym, and I see Lucy running away. I dash after her, as I catch her hand to halt her. She slaps my hand away from me. I feel my body weight shift back. She stops in her track, as she wraps herself with arms. I see her shirt begin to cripple from the grip of her hands.
"Lucy, can we just talk?" I plead to her,
"Talk about what Kendall?" she looks at me with the tears in her eyes stream down her face. "Talk about how you're different?" Her eyes didn't look the way I looked at her. Hey eyes seemed darker, not chocolate but dark brown which seems dead.
"I can't believe I thought this time would actually be different. I should have know I'd be wrong. It's like confusing a dream with reality." she pauses, and takes the ring from her left hand. "The hardest thing about realizing you don't love me, is that you spent so much time pretending that you did." She throws the ring at me, it bounces off me chest to the cement pavement.
"Lucy, I do love you! Please just hear me-" I feel weak to my knees, as I kneel to the ground.
"No Kendall. I wish I could go back to the day I met you, and walked away. It would've saved me from all this pain and hell. Fuck you, fuck love I'm tired of trying." she finishes, and run away. I watch her run away, each step she took away from me felt like a crack in my glass heart starting to shatter. I pick up the ring I had given her the night before, and grip it in my hand. I hit my fist against the pavement hard, I feel my bare skin scrap the bumpy ground. I look at my knuckles start to slightly bleed.
"God damn it." I curse to myself, this wouldn't have happened because of that stupid bet. I'd lost it all. The trust, happiness and love. I felt as if my heart stopped beating, and died. I suddenly hear my phone beep from my pocket. I whip it out, to see if was a text from Carlos.
Where are you? Meet me at the student parking lot D. Bring your guitar! -Carlito-
Coming. -KKnight
I sent the text, and went to my car and retrieve my guitar. I walk towards parking lot D where Carlos told me too.
Lucy's POV
I kept on running away from him. I kept running away from the person I wanted to be with, but can't seem to trust anymore. I ran to my motorcycle, and inserted the keys. I hear the engine roar, as I begin to head home. I feel tears stream down my face, I wipe them with my shirt.
I reach home, and knocked on the door. I didn't feel like finding my stupid keys. The door swings open and Hayden stares at me with confusion.
"What's up Lucy?" he asks me, without thinking I step toward him, and hugged him. Crying into his shirt. I hands grip the back of his dark black t-shirt.
"Why is the world full of completely bullshit people?" I whimper, as I sniffle.
"Come on, Lu. Not everyone is full of shit. Your boy, Kendall! He cares for you, right?" He rubs my back for comfort.
"...Apparently not..." I let go of him, and I pull my hair back in tears. I wipe them away but they continue to fall, and fall as if they could create a waterfall. A waterfall of distrust, heartbreak, and defeat.
Alexa's POV
I had release period, so I could leave early. I mean who would want to stay at school another hour? I made my way to the parking lot D where my car was parked. I search my bag furiously whether or not it's inside or I lost it. I reach my car, and I suddenly hear a nice smooth sound of an acoustic guitar. I look up to see my car decked out in complete sticky notes. My front window has a pink heart shaped sticky notes creating a big heart. In big letters inside the heart was the word, 'PROM?' and surround the huge heart is multi colored sticky notes. I walk around my car to see it was completely covered. I look around to see where the beautiful sound of music came from. From the car beside me came out Carlos, and Kendall. Carlos with a bouquet of flowers, and Kendall playing the guitar. I stood there in complete amazement. I drop my back as Carlos begins to sing.
"Bloom" by The Paper Kites
In the morning when I wake
And the sun is coming through,
Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,
And you fill my head with you.
Shall I write it in a letter?
Shall I try to get it down?
Oh, you fill my head with pieces
Of a song I can't get out.
Can I be close to you?
Carlos walks close to me, and hands me my bouquet of flowers, and Kendall sings "ooh-oo-oo-ooh" in the background while strumming the guitar.
Ooh-oo-oo-ooh, ooh
Can I be close to you?
Ooh, ooh.
Can I take it to a morning
Where the fields are painted gold
And the trees are filled with memories
Of the feelings never told?
When the evening pulls the sun down,
And the day is almost through,
Oh, the whole world it is sleeping,
But my world is you.
Can I be close to you?
(Ah) ooh (aah), ooh (aah).
Can I be close to you?
(Ah) ooh (aah), ooh (aah).
[whistling]
Can I be close to you?
Kendall strums his final chord, and the lasting sound echoes in my ears, as I look into Carlo's eyes. He wears a cheeky grin, and gazes into my eyes.
"Alexa, I know we only just met, but will you be my prom date?" he smiles at me, as he holds my hand.
"You know Carlos, you're weird." I comment, and his facial expression loosens.
"Oh, sorry." his voice softens as he looks down. I pop his chin up to look at me.
"Don't be sad, it's a compliment. I like weird, I like you!" I chime, as I return a reassuring smile to him. His face beams with light, and excitement. "Yes, I'd love to be your prom date!"
He hugs me, and thanks me. Carlos and I hug felt warm, and pleasant. I like it, I like him.
Kendall's POV
I watch as Alexa accepts Carlos' promposal and they hug. I was happy for them, Carlos being happy and all. But, my mind kept flooding back to earlier. The kiss with Jo, and losing Lucy. I need to set things straight for her, I have too.
"Hey, Carlos! Congratulations! I'm going to go on ahead." I inform Carlos and he waves me farewell. I ran to my car, and set my guitar in the back seat. I start the engine, and drive my way to Lucy's house.
I arrive at Lucy's house to see that her brother's bike is here. Confirming that she went here after our confrontation. I park my car beside the sidewalk, and turn off my engine. I grip my seat belt tightly, then I unlock my belt and get out of the car. I walk slowly to the steps of her house, and held my hand on the wooden door. I become hesitant to knock, I clench my hand and knocked slowly. I waited patiently, then the door swung open. I see Lucy's brother Hayden. His facial expression didn't seem happy, I assume that Lucy told him about what happened earlier. Before I could mutter a word, Hayden interrupts me immediately.
"Get out." his voice stern, and blunt. I feel my whole body tense up from fear. But, I couldn't leave. I need to talk to Lucy.
"Hayden, may I speak with Lucy, please?" I ask politely.
"Get off my fucking house property Kendall!" He yells at me, his eyes were dead and serious. They looks the same as Lucy earlier.
"Please, I just want to settle things with her please! It was all a misunderstanding!" I plead, with mercy.
"No! Kendall, did you hear? You fucking hurt her! Are you happy? Are you satisfied that you hurt her? You turned a girl who was so head over heels for you, to a girl who is crying herself to sleep thinking about you. You turned an innocent girl who wanted to love someone and be happy, to a girl whos scared to love someone because she's afraid to get heart broken again. Shes broken. She doesn't know who to trust anymore. Are you happy? You changed her." He spat at me, and pushed me back. I stumble with my feet, I didn't fight back cause it was true. I did hurt her.
"You don't deserve to talk to her. Because your not worth her time of misery, and pain right now." He pauses, "Now that I think about it. You're just like Beau, making her fall for you and go to another girl. What's next? You going to abuse her?"
"Don't compare me to Beau! Don't compare me to that fucking domestic rapist!" I yell back at him. I charge for Hayden, as he dodges, and He tackles me to the floor. Holding my arms arms down, as I squirm to fight back. I manage to move my left arm, as I punch him right on the side of his head, and he swings his right arm around my eye area. I fix my legs, and push his body back. He stumbles backwards on the floor. I stood over him, grabbing his collar.
"I'm not like Beau. I"m not a fucked up like him." I growl, as I breathe heavily.
"Stop!" I hear a voice, and I look up to see Lucy standing in the doorway of her house. I let go of Hayden's collar as I begin to rush over to Lucy.
"Please can we talk! Please!" I beg her, as Hayden pulls me back and pushes me and I stumble and fall on the lawn.
"You've caused enough trouble with me. But, to fight my brother. That draws the line Kendall. I'm done, realize that." She spoke, as she motions Hayden to get in the house, and they close the door behind them. I feel my eye as it swells. I feel the ache rise into me. What have I done? I then realize, I've rose the monster inside of me.
