back to your feet (ken roczen)

Part 9

Recap: I woke up again to Ken coughing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ken, are you okay?" I asked, trying not to sound too worried. (A/N: one day at school one of my friends was coughing bad I was super worried for him)
He continued to cough, so I lifted him quite easily to sit up. After some deep breaths, he was back to normal but his face was red and his eyes looked irritated. "Water p-lease..." he said in a raspy voice. My heart ached for him. I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a glass, quickly putting water in it. I ran back in, handing it to him.
He took a long drink, and a relieved look flashed across his face.
I clutched my chest, happy he was okay. "God I was so worried..." I said, barely holding the tears back. He Outstretched his arms, pulling me into a tight hug. "Why we're you so worried? I just had a bad cough El." He said.
"Ken...my baby brother had a coughing fit before he died. Water filled his lungs and we we're too late." I explained. Letting only a single tear slip. He held me until I fell asleep.
~Morning~
I felt warmth on my side, as well as my feet. It wasn't too hot, it felt amazing. I finally opened my eyes, checking my surroundings. I had half of my body draped over Kens, with a small dog at my feet. The dog, who I assume was Rocky, noticed I was awake and started barking wildly. "Shhhh." I whispered. It was too late. Ken was awake.
I instantly got up, not wanting to make the situation any more awkward. I tripped on the blanket in the process, falling back onto Ken. Our lips we're inches apart.
He leaned in slightly.
My heart was beating out of my chest. Are we gonna kiss?
He nervously laughed, laying his head back onto the pillow. I scratched my arm, and turned around, walking out. Was I not good enough?
"El, wait." He said. I shook my head, and tried walking faster as I heard his uneven footsteps following close behind me. "Ken!" I squealed when he grabbed my waist, spinning me around.
"Don't over react El. Were only friends-"
"Only friends? Ken it's obvious we love each other!" I said, cutting him off.
"Elaine, you didn't let me finish. Were only friends for now." He said. I mentally punched myself. "I just didn't want to scare you away by being to forward. I wanted you to be comfortable with everything going on." He explained. I hugged him, smiling. How did i ever get so lucky.
"Elaine, I love you so much, nobody could explain how much I love you. Would you be my girlfriend?" He asked. Without answering, I stood on my toes, gently pressing my lips to his. When we pulled away, he had a satisfied look upon his face. "Ill take that as a yes?" He said. I smiled at him nodding. We we're startled by Rocky barking. "I'm sorry for over reacting Ken." I said. "Its fine El. I understand where youre coming from." He said. "Wanna go watch me test ride?" He asked. "Duh!" I said. "Awesome! Ill go call Carey and Ricky." He said. "CAREY HART!?" I asked. It was kinda an obvious answer. He smiled wide, nodding.
I internally screamed.
I got dressed in my "mx is life" tank top and black shorts, paired with my black and white converse and Ken drove us out to track.

Wasn't as long as I'd hoped it would be. But that's okay, I thought this chapter went pretty well, tell me what you think!
Oh! And the picture is Ken and I when i met him at Millville! He was supeerrrrr sweet!
