Bailey's pov For a guy who was limping he sure freaking walks fast ! Kaleb had already got to the double doors before I even caught up to him . But you can't blame me , I had to run down the bleachers and across the field !! never claimed to be athletic . He walked into the the building and my quick footsteps turn into a sprint . I huff by the time I got to the door and pushed it open . He's not far and it almost seemed like he was slowing down . up ahead " Kaleb ! " I called out , rushing over to him . He stops but doesn't turn around . I am panting when I finally catch up to him , worried a bit when he stays silent . " Are you okay ? " I whispered , clutching my back as I eyed the side of his face . He nod and continued walking forward . My brows furrowed . Just a nod ? Is he seriously going to act cold now when I am genuinely worried about him ? I followed after him silently , concerned that if I said another word we'd be arguing …. but I did want to make sure he was okay . He took a nasty tackle and clearly got a strain or something . I chewed on the inside of my cheek as I just followed after him . He enters the nurses office and we caught her just in time . She was packing up her stuff but when she sees Kaleb she rushes over to him . What did you do this time ? " Nurse Charles scowled , her grey brows drawing in a pinch of concern as she helped Kaleb to the bed . He sits down , his eyes refusing to look at me . Yet I am glad he didn't tell me to leave . " I think I strained it a bit . " She sighed and told him to remove his shoes and socks . I find myself drawing closer , wanting to be near him . He winces , pulling the socks off his feet . His ankle is a bit red . Nurse Charles hummed and inspected his foot , nudging her glasses on her nose while leaning closer to get a better look at his ankle . " Will he be okay ? " the worried question came from me as I peered down at Kaleb's ankle . Nurse Charles glanced at me and smiled . " It doesn't look too bad . Icing it down will help . " " Like you care ," Kaleb suddenly snorted , looking anywhere but me , but I knew his words were directed at me . Beg your pardon ? " Nurse Charles wrenched back in shock , seeming to think his words were directed at her . Kaleb shook his head . " Not you , " his head lift and his eyes pinned me . " Her ." I felt like I'd just been slapped across the face . Kaleb's words stung and made my chest feel tight . " Of course I care . " my brows furrowed , wondering when did I ever give him that idea that I didn't care about him . Even though we never saw eye to eyel always cared for Kaleb . He rolled his eyes . " Since when ? You made it clear you didn't . " I staggered back a little , feeling like his words were arrows to my heart . I clench my bag and blinked . Nurse Charles glanced between us , clearly sensing the tension , but she wisely chose to focus on Kaleb's injury . " I will get the ice , you two stay right here . 1/2 Chapter 30 I will be back soon . " She stood up and walked away , pulling the curtain around us . When the door opens and closes , we are left in a inside of my cheek . After a few moments of the uneasy silence Kaleb eyes shot to mine and I held my breath w uncomfortable silence . Kaleb had gone back to avoiding my gaze and I had gone back to chewing the no longer bear it any longer . " How can you ever think that I do not care about you Kaleb ? " saw the swirl of anger . " Why would you care about a guy who you rather die than ever touch ? " I flinched , my words from that night haunting me in the flesh . Kaleb mocked . " I don't know Bailey , this indicates that you don't care about My gaze dropped to his chest , the shirt clung to his skin . " You're wrong , I didn't mean it in that way and you know it , " I said softly , my voice trembling slightly . I lift my gaze back to him , to see him glare at me . " I was talking about what we had done , " I looked away , flushing . " I never meant to make you feel Bet didn't care . " " You talk yet like a coward you refuse to look me in the eye and speak . " Kaleb taunted , his voice laced with hurt and anger . His anger infuriated me . Here I was caring about him and he was looking for every little thing to argue with me . Why was he even mad about this ! He never had a problem ignoring girls after he had screwed them before . His words had struck a nerve and my frustration flared before I can stop it . " What do you really want from me Kaleb ! " His eyes narrowed . " I told you that night what I want Bailey ." You . He said he wanted me . For the night . That didn't mean forever . I scowled . " Right , to add me to your long list of girls you've conquered ." Kaleb looked angry by my words and voiced it out . " Do you really think this low of me ? " " You never gave me a reason to think otherwise ! You've treated girls like shit . Fuck them , use them and toss them to the side . You barely spare them a glance afterward . Mira and I always had to clean up your mess ! " I barked , breathing roughly . I blinked , frustration anger and pain making it hard to hold back my tears . " I don't get why you won't let this go . Why can't things go back to how it had been between us ? " My lower lip tremble as I looked at him . Suddenly Kaleb reached over and since I was not far from him , he successfully gripped my wrist and tugged me to him . I landed on his lap and gasp as he shifted me to straddle him . I didn't make much effort to move off him . He peered at me with an angry glare . " Because you're not the other girls Bailey ! Goddammit , you're going to make me lose my mind . " He snapped and slammed his lips on mine . AD Comment Send gift
