Heather One Shot [I’ll Always Be Here]
This story is in Heathers point of view the whole time.
I opened my phone to a new text message when I woke up this morning. It read ‘one new message K2’. ‘Hey bud =] Wanna hang out tonight?’ I smiled. Kevin was my all time best friend and yes I admit I have a little crush on him. But he has a girlfriend and I have an amazing boyfriend. We are both really happy. Speaking of Nate, my boyfriend, I just got a text from him too. ‘Hey gorgeous. Let’s go out tonight. Pick you up at eight?’ I smiled. He really was something else. I texted Nate back ‘Sounds gr8 babe’ Then I texted Kevin back ‘Eh I sort of have plans with Nate tonight. We can hang tomorrow if you want?’ I knew he’d be a little mad at me. He always felt like I chose Nate over him, but Nate WAS my boyfriend. My phone vibrated in my pocket. It was Kev ‘K maybe. I have to see what Sarah wants to do’ I winced. Sarah. Ugh. Sarah was Kev’s girlfriend, and she was absolutely perfect in every way. She wrote songs, she sang, she was athletic, and she made Kevin really happy. The worst thing about her was, it was nearly impossible to hate her. She is so sweet to everyone, so even though I want to hate her, I can’t. But she made Kevin happy, and that’s all I really cared about.
Later That Night
I was just finishing up my makeup when Nate knocked on my door. We left and he took me for a candlelight picnic right by the boardwalk. It was beautiful, almost like it was a scene taken from a movie. I was amazed but finally spoke up “Nate…Wow this is so incredibly beautiful. I don’t know what to say. What’s the special occasion?” I asked curiously. I knew it wasn’t our year anniversary, and it wasn’t either of ours birthdays. I sat there wondering when he finally said “I want tonight to be special Heather. So...I got us a room at the hotel for the night.” I moved back and looked at him in disbelief “Nate I already told you I’m not ready for a relationship like that with you. I’m sorry.” I said as I looked at the ground. “I think you should just take me home.” He stood up angry and I started to walk away. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back “Heather now wait a minute here! We’ve been dating almost a year. Why won’t you just have sex with me!?” I was furious now “I JUST DON’T WANT TO NATE! WHY IS THAT SO HARD? Now please. Take me home!” I said on the verge of tears. He got up and let go of my wrist and pushed me to the ground. “You know what? If you won’t come to the hotel, I’ll find someone who will. We’ve over.” I looked up to him, the tears falling freely now. He started to walk away then turned around “Oh and you can find your own way home.” With that he left me lying on the ground crying with no way home so I called the only person I could think to call. After about three rings he picked up “Heather. I wasn’t expecting to hear from you tonight. Aren’t you still on your date?” I was about to tell him what happened but he just kept talking “I’m sorry if I seemed rude in that text, I just always get a little jealous of…” I cut him off and yelled “KEVIN WOULD YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME FOR A SECOND! PLEASE!” When I said that I couldn’t keep the tears at bay. They fell freely from my face and didn’t show any signs of stopping. He spoke up “Wait a minute. Are you crying? Are you okay? What happened to you?” I would have laughed if I wasn’t so upset. Kevin was so overprotective. But at this point it was a nice feeling. I just quickly spoke into the phone “Can you just come pick me up Kevin?” He of course said he would and I told him where I was. He made it there in record time, and I would’ve yelled at him for speeding had I not been upset. He helped me into his car and drove off back towards our houses. After a few minutes of silence he asked “My house or yours?” I quietly replied “Yours.” I really didn’t want to go to my house with a tear streaked face and be alone. I just wanted a friend to be with. He was silent for another few minutes till he said “You know Heather. I’ll always be there for you. But I know you. And I know you probably don’t want to talk about this. I’m telling you now we are going to talk about this whether you want to or not.” He spoke in a stern, strict voice. I knew he wasn’t messing around. And I knew he was only saying that because he knew I never opened up, and I knew he cared about me. We got out of the car and went up to his room. “What happened Heather?” I immediately started crying “Oh Kevin, it was horrible. I thought I might’ve loved him. I really did!” He pulled me into a hug and started pushing my hair back. “What did he do to you?” He asked genuinely. “He dumped me because I wouldn’t go to a hotel and have sex with him tonight.” Kevin immediately stood up “HE DID WHAT?!” I had never seen Kevin this angry before. “That jerk! I can’t believe him! I thought he was a nice guy.” I sniffled a little “Well that makes two of us, but nice guys don’t do this” I said pointing to my wrist where he grabbed me. It was already starting to bruise. “Let me get you some ice before it swells any more.” He returned a few minutes later and gently put the ice on my wrist. “There you go.” He said. “Heather I’m so sorry. I’m so mad about this. I could never treat you like that. You know that right? You know what? I should have told you this a long time ago. But I really like you Heather. And to see some one hurt you, really hurts me. I didn’t want to make our friendship weird by telling you, but I thought it was time for me to let you know. If I’m with you nothing else matters. I just look into your blue eyes and get lost and I could talk for hours with you.” I just sat there staring at him in disbelief. I can’t believe he just said that. Maybe I’m dreaming. I finally spoke up “Wow Kev. We sure wasted a lot of time on other people.” I started to smile “Because I really like you a lot too. I wish you would’ve told me sooner.” He pulled me into the most passionate kiss anyone had ever given me. Sparks immediately flew. I stopped suddenly “Wait what about Sarah? She’s a nice girl Kev. I don’t want you to hurt her.” He looked down and said “We broke up. She was here when you called. She saw the way I reacted and asked if I was in love with you and I told her I was. She wasn’t mad, she said she always suspected and she told me to go get you.” I was beaming from ear to ear. “So you mean….like are we…?” He laughed at my nervousness “Yes Heather. We’re a couple now.” He leaned in for another kiss. And then I layed my head on his shoulder and we fell asleep together, both happy we realized what had been right in front of us all along. Eachother.
