Falling...
How it started......
 
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 I sat in the passenger seat of Jeydon's car, waiting for the car to come to a complete stop. "Thanks for giving me a ride home." I said hopping out of the car, avoiding any response from him. My heart pounded nervously, as I entered my walked up the driveway to my house. What the h*ll am I getting myself into? I thought. I opened up the front door quietly trying not to wake up my parents. I crept up the stairs and shut  door to my room. I changed out of my alcohol reeking clothes and fell on my bed. I felt so embarrassed having to ask Jeydon for a ride home because all of my crappy friends were drooling over guys. I don't care about guys, or so I thought. All it took to start to like one stupid guy was a booze tasting kiss. A kiss that was simple, but had electricity that made you want more; and trust me I did want more, but i couldn't risk falling for him. I couldn't risk falling for anyone... My phone started to ring, so I picked it up and answered it. "Where the f*** are you?!" Victoria said screaming into the phone. "I'm sorry where am I? I left because you and the others were drooling a bunch of guys, while I got knocked onto the
 ground and got kissed for Christ sakes!! I had to ask him for a f***ing ride home all because you wanted to get laid. You honestly think I wanted to stick around for that s***?" I sighed deeply, feeling better for letting everything out. "Wait, you met a guy?! Oh. My. God! Tell me everything!!!!" She was practically screaming into the phone!  This is exactly what I didn't want to happen!
 
 "His name is Jeydon. I think he's because I've never seen him before. I was
 
 standing there when I got knocked over. I waited for his apology, but instead
 
 he kissed me, and I let him..." She screamed, louder this time, causing me
 
 to take the phone away from my ear. A beeping came from my phone letting me
 
 know that I had another call coming in. "Hey, V, I got to go. There's
 
 another call. I'll talk to you later." I went to the other line before I
 
 could listen to hear her pleading me to stay. "Hello?" I said into
 
 the phone. "Uh, hey Kelsey, this is Jeydon..." My heart stopped, butterflies
 
 coming to my stomach. It is so not normal to feel this way. "Hi um.
 
 Calling to finally apologize?" I said jokingly. He laughed, "No
 
 actually, I wanted to ask you something. Would you do something with me
 
 tomorrow?" This guy thinks that I'll just agree just like that! Well I'm
 
 not that kind of girl. "Only if you apologize first! Or I'm not going
 
 anywhere with you." I heard faint laugh, like he was laughing at me.
 
 "Okay, while you laugh your *ss of, I'm going to hang up!" I was
 
 about to hit the end button, when he stopped me. "Wait! That wasn't me it
 
 was a friend. I'm sorry for making you fall on the ground and hurting your
 
 beautiful head." He was trying to flatter me, trying to make me fall for
 
 him, well I'm not that easy. " Pick me up at one, don't be late." I hung up the phone and went
 
 to sleep, after all I will need my beauty rest. I fell asleep smiling that
 
 night, because I finally got my apology.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
 
 I opened the door to Jeydon's car sliding into the passenger seat. He had a big
 
 grin on his face, just like the one from last night, just before he kissed
 
 me.  He pulled out of the driveway and
 
 went onto the freeway. "So, where are you taking on this fine day?" I
 
 asked him. His grin turned into a mischievous look. "It's a
 
 surprise..." I hate surprises. You might not like what it is, and surprises
 
 are supposed to be good. We sat in silence for a little bit until he said,
 
 "What's your favorite color?" I looked at him puzzled. That was kind
 
 of random. "Purple, black, red, blue, green. Every color except pink and
 
 yellow. Those are the most horrid colors ever invented!" this made him
 
 laugh. I didn't think it was funny at all. I guess he wanted to know things
 
 about me. Most guys don't ask me questions about myself, all they want to do is
 
 kiss, and maybe get a little bit farther. I guess he was different. A good
 
 different. "Do you like roller coasters? " he asked as he got off the
 
 freeway. I nodded. "Are you new? I haven't seen you around school
 
 before." He smiled. "Yes I am. So far it's you've been the best thing
 
 that's ever happened to me. So... You like roller coasters huh? What about
 
 Belmont park? Ever been there? I heard it's the best." I smiled actually
 
 enjoying this conversation. "I love their Roller Coaster!!! There's this
 
 tunnel you go through, and I love to scream at the top of my lungs!" He
 
 pulled into a familiar parking lot, "Well that's good, because that's
 
 where we are." I already knew this was going to be a day I'll never
 
 forget.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
 
 We got our tickets and ran to the front of the line for the Big Dipper. We handed
 
 the guy working there our tickets and headed for the very front car. He was
 
 willing to be in the very front, which is quite odd because no one would ever
 
 go to the front with me. We put the bar over our laps, and waited for everyone
 
 else in line to get on. "If you get scared, don't hesitate to hold onto
 
 me." he said just before the ride begun. The car started to move and we
 
 were headed for the tunnel. Just before we got out, I screamed at the top of my
 
 lungs, making Jeydon flinch. We started to go to the top of the drop and my
 
 heart pounded fast against my chest. I grabbed onto him, not because I was
 
 scared. I held onto him because I was terrified. I was terrified or falling for
 
 him, and that's the last thing I wanted to happen. The Roller Coaster ended and
 
 I ran for the exit. I went into the nearest thing and it was the mirror maze. I
 
 made my way around the mirrors almost smacking into one. "Kelsey? Where
 
 are you?" Jeydon yelled after me. I stopped, seeing his reflection all
 
 around me. I ran to the one that looked more like a mirror, but ended up
 
 running into the real one. I smacked hard into the ground causing me to groan in pain. My head pounded with pain, rubbing the same bump from last night.
 
 "Great you just made me head even worse."
 
 He held out a hand and déjà vu swarmed around me. I took his hand and pulled
 
 myself up from the filthy ground. "Why did you run away? I thought you
 
 were having a good time?" he looked puzzled. I was having a good time, but underneath it all I was screaming.
 
 "I'm terrified. That's why..." I went back the way I came and went to
 
 the beach wall, sitting on it waiting for Jeydon to join me. I looked out to
 
 the horizon watching the sun setting. "What are you afraid of?" he
 
 asked sitting down next to me. 
 
 Everything
 
 I thought. "Falling for you." I said while taking off my shoes
 
 and jumping into the soft, warm sand. I walked over to the shore letting the
 
 cold water wash over my bare feet. "What if I said that I was willing to
 
 catch you, or never break your heart? That I would never do anything to hurt
 
 you..." I looked into his serious grayish green eyes. "How do I know
 
 you're not lying?" I asked him. He stepped closer to me, almost kissing
 
 distance. "You won't, you'll just have to trust me." I stared into his
 
 eyes, finally giving in to him. He leaned his head down just a little, just
 
 enough to make my heart melt away into the most perfect kiss.  The kiss was better than last nights, more intense and more romantic. I held onto him tightly never wanting to let him go.
 
 Little did I know that all he said was a lie. He lied straight to my face, when
 
 I trusted him. He did catch me, but dropped me and let me fall onto the
 
 cold ground, breaking my heart into a million little pieces.
