Chapter 10

"Okay dad,I'll see you guys later" I waved getting into Kace's car, "bye sweetheart", I looked at him "the others are at my place and I've got something to tell you" he says "okay, is it important?"I ask,he kissed my hand "very", the bottom of my stomach had butterflies in it,Drake is going to kill me because I almost left him.

And I was right "don't you ever do that again"Drake says crushing my bones "I can't......b-breathe,Drake", he let's go for a sec before hugging me again,"don't you ever do that,never" "okay, I won't scare you again", Ashley hugged me "this dude almost broke the door when he heard about it,I'm glad you're okay" "thanks" "I'm not" Josh says "it's cute when Drake cries" he finished looking at his boyfriend, who was blushing "I'm glad your still smiling though" Josh says tapping my nose,I grin as Kace pulled me to him,"and we have to talk"he whispers "right,but I just woke up and guess what?" "what?" "doctor says I might live after all", I got turned into a kiss,Kace seriously needs to get his lips under control,but I can never resist a kiss from him,he's good at kissing and it always feel like I'm walking on air.

The doorbell rang but Kace didn't care, "fine, I'll get it" Ashley says walking pass us to open the door,Kace didn't want to move from where we were,the others had left to go to the living room, when Ashley opened the door, she slammed it,"Kace,I think this is yours"she says making Kace groan turning around,he held my hand so I wouldn't move. Kace opened the door,he squeezed my hand signalling me to stand behind to him, a blonde stood there with a smile and she was gorgeous, like a supermodel,"hey Kace"she says "uh....hi Lindsey,what're you doing here?" Kace asks "I came to see my dad thought I'd come see you" Lindsey grins,while Kace was still confused,I wasn't even on this planet.

"Oh,come on in" Kace says moving aside,she smiles walking in,the others came out,Ashley and Josh had scowls on their faces,"so how have you been?" Lindsey asks "I've been good, you?" "I've been great,hey Ashley, hi Josh" "hi,what're you doing here?" Ashley asks "I came to see my dad,but I thought it'd be nice to see Kace again" "oh,when are you going back?" Josh asks,guess they don't like her that much,there's a lot of tension here, "uh.....not sure yet,but I hope to spend some time with Kace,you know,for old time's sake" "actually,he's got a girlfriend,so....." Ashley trails off,I didn't even notice I was still in the room until she said that.

Lindsey's eyes perked up a little "really,where is she?", Kace pulled me from behind him to stand next to him,"oh,she's cute,hi,I'm Lindsey" "Hayley", am I missing something?, how did I get into this?, "how long have you two been together?" Lindsey asks "a few months" Kace answers, "I'll explain later" he whispers in my ear,I nod,Lindsey looked at both of us for a while, "well uh......you can catch up with Ashley and Josh,and Josh's boyfriend, we've got somewhere to be" Kace says opening the door "oh yeah,okay, it was nice meeting you Hayley" "yeah,you too",why do I feel threatened by her.

Kace didn't say anything when we got in the car,nothing at all,he just opened my door so I could get in then closed it once my seatbelt was buckled then got in,he looks tense,really tense,I'm afraid that if I touch him, he'll break or snap at me. When we sat in the backseat of the car,he didn't say anything, my legs were over his as he rubbed his thumb on my thigh. "Kace?" "yeah?" "are you okay?" "yeah, why?" "well you've been silent for almost an hour now and your face looks like it'll break", he sighs looking up at me "I'm sorry Hayles,seeing her again made my mind stop for a while" "who is she?" "my ex", I kinda already knew that, "oh,why'd you break up?" I ask regretting the question "she cheated.......five times",I choked "five?", she's got quite the appetite, "yup,and I didn't know until Ashley found out,she and Ashley use to be best friends but she cheated with Ashley's boyfriend, five times, and now she's back thinking its okay" "I'm sorry" "its not your fault.........its kinda mine, mom didn't like her that much and I didn't think about mom's happiness before mine,she asked me to break up with her or something will go wrong......guess I should've broken up with her" .

Now I feel bad for him, I see what Klara meant when she said he had been heartbroken before,its hard to think someone like him would get a broken heart, "I really don't like to hear about heartbreak, no offense,its just,being Drake's best friend,he's been through it a lot of times and its not my best topic", Kace laughs lightly "its fine" "oh,you said you had something to tell me" "right, you read the letter mom wrote?" "yeah,it was nice" "good,because you know I can't afford to lose both of you,this year is almost over" "I know,its confusing but-" "what's so confusing about it?" "you get any girl you want because you're rich, drop dead gorgeous and hot,you're popular and you're kinda a big deal but I don't get why you'd care if I go,its not like it'd matter anyway,you'll just find another girl better than me" "are you being serious?" "Kace-" "no Hayley,why are you saying that?" "we both know its true,it makes no sense to cover it up", he dragged me over to him,crashing his lips on mine,this is getting too much for me,I do like him but maybe I won't be so lucky next time,and he'll just shrug and go back to being the boy he was.

"Hayley,you're everything to me,I can't just replace you,you're perfection in my eyes,you think you're full of flaws and you're falling apart but you seem perfectly fine to me. I know you see how I prove it,I make time for you,I mess with you,I even drag you out of your classes just to spend time with you,I don't want to lose you,I'll never think about losing you,I promised to mom and I meant it, to you it seemed like I didn't, but I did Hayles,that day you bumped into me,I couldn't speak because I was already in love,ask my friends,all I could say was that you were perfect, they didn't understand, but I did".

"Hayley I love you,I've always loved you,I just couldn't say it,I can't control my feelings for you anymore, its all just bundled up somewhere in my heart,slowly taking over my mind,everything you do sends chills all over my body babe, before you came along, I was falling over a cliff,losing myself because my mom was leaving, but then your eyes block my sight, I see your smile and I hear your laugh,that kept me sane,you dragged me back to the surface Hayles,you complete me,and I know you always say you'll choose cupcake over me any day,but I'll choose you over the world, I'd give up everything I have just for you,anything you want,I'll give it to you".

"You're my star,that one star that lit up my darkness, that one star I turn to for a laugh,that one star that helps me see the bright side of things,you think you mean nothing to me Hayley, but I can't sleep without knowing I'll see you when I get to school,I'll see you stuffing your face with a few cupcakes, trying to hide them from the others.......god Hayley,I freaking love you".
