BLS #7: BREAKING THE LAST

Chloe Regens

“I can’t believe we’re eating smores right now.” Janet said as she looked at the smores with so much love.

“It’s been a long time.” I said.

“Reminds me of camping.” Sebastian said.

“I hate highschool.” Sophia said.

I wrapped myself with a blanket because it’s really windy and kinda cold. I hold my smores like it’s a hotpack. It’s really windy here. We just sat at the balcony turning on the fire and chill.

I ate the smores slowly and just listening to their chats. I turned to see Hailey leaning to Luke’s shoulder sleeping. Luke is stroking her hair and sometimes kissing the top of her head. They’re so sweet.. not just them but all of the couples are really sweet. It’s kind of remind me when I’m with Xander.

It’s already in the past, I won’t get back to him anyway. I turned to see Rose yawning again and again. Max was looking at her smiling. I’m jealous.. how can they all be so sweet?

“I’m going to take this little red to sleep. Night guys.” Luke said carrying Hailey bridal style to their room.

They started to go to their room one by one, besides me and Kenneth. We both didn’t say anything, we just sat beside each other and looking at the fire.

“You’re not sleepy yet?” I asked and turning my head to Ken, he shook his head.

“I’m going for a walk.” He stood up and walked out. I decided to follow him since I’m not sleepy yet.

“Can I come?” I walked to him as he put on his shoes.

“Wear your shoes then.” He said and I quickly put it on. Going out from the cabin and I walked side by side with him. I found myself smiling.. I don’t know why.

“Did you graduate with a good score?” He started a conversation.

“Top 10.” I showed my hands.

“Nice.” He nodded.

“Why? Are you going to give me present?” I said excited and turned my body. I walked backwards and looked at Ken’s face.

“Look who’s acting like a kid?” He raised his eyebrows and I glared at him.

“I’m jealous of your friends, why they’re all so cute?” I asked as I turning back my body and walked side by side with him again.

“They weren’t cute before this.”

“I saw once about Sky, I followed Janet’s blog and damn it was funny.” I laughed.

“He was mad at that time and almost throwing Janet to jail.” Ken said and I turned to him disbelief.

“Really?”

“They all went through something Chloe.” Ken said.

“Me and Xander were like that when suddenly things ruined.” I sighed and Ken didn’t say anything.

“He’s a fool.” I turned to him.

“Maybe he is.. or maybe Emma has something that I don’t have.”

“None of us is perfect Chloe, sometimes people are stupid for letting a diamond slide in front of their eyes.” I smiled hearing him say that.

“Am I living in fairytale too much?” I asked him.

“Yeah, waiting for a prince charming to come. That’s a little bit stupid Chloe.”

“It’s all girls dream Kenneth, you can’t blame them.”

“You’re one of them.” He said and I chuckled. The wind blow really strong causing me to rub my hands to make some heat. I should have bring that blanket.

“Have you date someone?” I asked.

“No.. I’ve told you I never date Chloe.”

“You never have a crush on someone? Like? Love?” I asked disbelief and felt my lips starting to get numb because of the coldness.

“No.” Suddenly he pulled my hand towards the woods. He walked first and I looked at his back. He never felt anything like that before? Is he really heartless?

My eyes widen as I saw the lake, we walked through a shortcut. Wow.. I looked at the water and it reflects the moon. It’s so beautiful. I felt a weight on my shoulder, I turned to see Ken gave his jacket to me.

“You’re cold.” I said.

“Just sit.” He said and I followed him. We sat side by side and none of us starting a conversation. I looked up to the moon and it’s a full moon today. So beautiful and it lights up brightly.

“You came here often? I mean when you’re staying here.” I turned to him.

“Yeah.. sometimes I sleep here.” The moonlight illuminates his face and I found myself admiring him. I heard my own heart beating faster. My face started to get hotter.

“Do you like being alone?” I asked but my eyes never left him.

“No.. I hate being alone.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Then why decided to be alone? Everyone needs someone to be beside them.” I said and he turned his head down to the lake.

“It’s not as simple as that Chloe.”

“Do you know that you’re making me curious?” I asked and he turned to me.

“What do you want to know exactly?” He looked at me seriously.

“All of you.” I answered and he turned his head away.

“It’s cold, let’s get back” He changed the subject, he stood up and I found myself wanting to stay here a little bit longer.

“Chloe.” He called and I stayed silent.

“Chloe, let’s get back.” He repeated, I stood up and turned to him. He’s already facing me and I looked at his eyes. There’s a lot of things in his eyes and I want to know it all.

“Do you look at me as a kid?” I asked and he chuckled.

“Do you want me to see you as a kid?” He asked.

“I want you to see me as a woman.. can you do that?” I asked boldly and he face turned serious. He turned his body and started to walk back to the woods.

I walked and looked at the jacket I’m wearing. Why does everything that related to Ken makes me feel comfortable? Feel safe? Feel warm? And make me feel this weird sensation inside my heart?

We walked to the cabin side by side but none of us saying anything and I don’t like this kind of awkwardness.

“Can you do that?” I asked one more time.

“I can’t.”

“Is it because you afraid to hurt me? Or you’re really don’t have any feelings inside your heart?” I asked.

“I’m heartless, I’m not capable to have a feelings like that.” I stopped and he stopped too. He looked at me seriously and I walked closer to him. Standing in front of him and my body was shaking nervously.

I took his hand and intertwining my hand with his. I pulled him and we walked to the cabin in silence. I felt warmness running through my body.

After arriving at the cabin, I took off his jacket and gave it back to him. Taking off my shoes and walked inside. I turned to see him still taking off his shoes. I walked to him and stole a kiss to his cheek.

“Thankyou.. Goodnight.” After that I ran upstairs to my room with a smile plastered on my face.
