Caleb turned and started to walk away.
"Caleb.." I muttered.
"don't walk away," I paused.
"please" I started to cry.
"I'll come back later. I'm upset right now.." Caleb said and I was in tears.
"I'm sorry" I said again.
"I love you so much Caleb" I whispered.
he turned back around and looked at me.
he opened his mouth, and closed it.
he turned back around and kept walking.
I broke into sobs as he turned back around. Edwin instantly came up behind me.
"I'm sorry Kylee.." He said.
"you don't need to be sorry" I added.
"yes I-" Edwin started.
"no, Edwin, you don't understand I just need you to hold me right now" I said sobbing.
Edwin put his arms around me.
I hugged him back.
that's the thing though; I loved Caleb.
but,
I was in love with Edwin.
I kept crying.
I couldn't stop.
"even the best fall down sometimes." Edwin said with a voice crack hinting me to the fact that he was almost in tears.
"even the stars refuse to shine," I sang.
"even the wrong words seem to rhyme" Edwin said.
we were saying these song lyrics, but they were our song lyrics.
collide by howie day.
it was our song.
Edwin & I had sang that song on our first date. it come on in the car. & ever since then whenever something happens that's the advice we'd always give each other; even the best fall down sometimes. even the stars refuse to shine; and even the wrong words seem to rhyme.
"do you need to be alone?" Edwin said.
"no." I said.
"okay. I'll stay here" Edwin said gripping our hug tighter.
the sun was down.
it hasn't felt like it had Been that long.
but the sun was down, and the waves were coming up high.
"Kylee, Edwin!" Cassie yelled from upstairs.
we ran up to the patio and went inside.
"alright, so it's been a good night." Ryan said.
"Kylee, is this Colin?" Ashely asked looking at pictures.
I walked over to see the picture she was looking at.
"yeah that's Colin. that's my dad too," I said smiling.
"do you miss them?" She asked.
"yeah, I do." I said.
"we just finished our race," I said.
"you guys where cute. you and Colin where close, weren't you" Ashely asked.
"yeah. he was my best friend" I replied.
my best friend; and my brother.
"Then my mom cas and Scotty where closer," I said.
"okay, Kylee." My mom warned me not to continue; she hated talking about my dad.
"your dad and Ashley where engaged but your dad cheated on Ashley with someone named Amelia and then he cheated on Amelia with me. then he left me, said I was too much and tried to run back to them.. don't call your brother Scotty either. and if Colin where your best friend he would've called!" My mom raised her voice.
I looked at her confused.
"wait, dad cheated on you?" I said.
"no." My mom took a breath.
"he didn't ever like me. half the time we were together, he had a kid with Amelia who came around, and according to Scott he is back with Amelia." my mom said.
"the kids the same age as you, witch means you weren't the only surprise." My mom said.
"Ashely dated dad?" I said weirded out.
"well, it was 2 months. he engaged quickly, I said yes but instantly changed my mind, it was nothing we never slept to together, nothing. I promise honey," Ashley said.
"this is a lot of information" I said.
"your brother Colin, I'm ashamed to call him my kid." my mom said.
"don't say that." I said.
"you know what mom, I'm gonna raise kids who don't have to recover from there childhood, or for me my pre adult years. you should be ashamed and not of Colin, but of the fact that your talking about your own kid!" I yelled.
Edwin looked at me.
a way he had never looked at me before.
