CHAPTER FIVE

The next morning I woke up in an embrace of someone. When I realized I was in Kevin's embrace, I smiled.

I gripped my arms tighter around his waist, and snuggled my face more in the crook of his neck. He began to wake up. "Ellen?" he whispered, rubbing my back.

"Hmh?" I replied, enjoying this little moment we were having.

I wasn't in love with Kevin, and I didn't like him the way I liked Patrick, but I felt safe with Kevin. He was a good friend for taking care of me like this.

"How are you today?" he asked quietly, kissing my temple. "I'm fine." I replied, "Thank you for being such an amazing friend, Kev."

"Anytime. Also, I'm always up for cuddles. Doesn't matter what time it is, if you ever need a hug or cuddles, let me know." he giggled.

I laughed quietly and kissed his cheek, "You're amazing"

"Eh, I know" he chuckled, stroking my hair back.

"Asshole." I said, slapping his hand, I slipped out of bed and walked straight to his bathroom.

"You know," Kevin yelled, his Scottish accent slipping out. "We could have breakfast at Starbucks & do our classes together" he added.

"Yup, sounds good" I said simply. I brushed my teeth with Kevin's toothbrush and brushed my hair quickly.

I walked back into the bedroom and walked in on Kevin standing there shirtless. Holy crap, those back muscles. I gasped, "KEVIN!"

"Ellen!" he yelped like a girl and covered his chest with his shirt as he turned around. "No need to cover up that body, god damn" I laughed teasingly.

He bursted out laughing and so did I. "I'm going to get dressed and then we'll leave, okay?" I said.

"Yep, I'll knock at your door in half an hour?" He sugguested. I nodded and smiled, "Bye bae"

I heard Kevin laugh as I shut the door behind me.

I got ready pretty quickly because I was eager to spend the day with Kevin. Kevin already felt like a really great friend. I've only known him for awhile, we treat eachother like we've known eachother since forever.

5 minutes later, there was a knock at my door, I opened it and I smile disappeared when I saw Patrick standing in front of me instead of Kevin.

"You were expecting someone else, weren't you?" he asked, leaning against the wall.

"Why do you care?" I ask, rolling my eyes and sighing. "Patrick what are you doing here?" I added quickly.

"Ellen, I just wanted to tell you that I broke things off with Jess." He said.

My stomach turned and I felt like I had to throw up. "Nice" I said sarcastically.

"How do you feel about that?" he asked me, resting his head against the wall.

"Patrick.." I sighed, "I do not give a shit." A lie. It was complete, big, fat lie. I did give a shit. I liked Patrick, and I wanted so badly to be with him everyday, but I just couldn't

"I know you care. Do you want to go out with me?" he suddenly asked.

"No" I replied almost immediately.

"You say that now.." he whispered.

Just as I was about to say something, Kevin walked up to us. "Hi," Kevin said, he shook Patrick's hand, "I'm kevin"
