Love Triangle

Chapter 2. Bruises and Scars

I was woken up with whipped cream smashed on my face. " Betsy! " I yelled . I laughed and smashed the whipped cream back in her face . I grabbed a paper towel and wiped it off . " What do you want to do today? " she asks . " I'm going to the park today .. Gotta practice on basketball . You know Kalin ? " she nods . " Yeah, well he's teaching me a few things so I can get better at basketball . " "Ohh that's cool !" You wanna come?" I ask "Duh!" we both laugh and do our daily morning routine. I look at the time 11:59 .. Woah perfect timing. *ding dong* I hear the doorbell , Betsy and I meet our way at the door . "Betsy you can bring my longboard if you want " she grabs my longboard that's leaning on the wall . I open the door and there stood Kalin . "Hey ! It's okay if my friend comes right?" "Of course!" Kalin turns around and goes to the car, I shut the door behind me. Betsy gives me this look .. "What?" I say quietly "He's hot" " I know" we follow Kalins steps to the car , I saw a boy with poofy brown hair . I'm assuming he's Myles? I hop in the back seat, so does Betsy. "Hey! I'm Aaliyah" I introduce myself "Myles" he smiles . Wow his smile is a killer. —- "Aye I'm gonna skate with Betsy, while you're with Aaliyah" Myles says. We go our separate ways . "Race you there!" I yell. We both race over there. "I won" he smirked "Whatever" I smile and grab the ball from him. "So what are we working on today?" I ask. "I'll teach you the correct way of shooting a basketball, the way you shoot the basketball you kick your leg up, you're not supposed to do that." he explains. I nod listening. We worked on it for about 30 minutes and then moved on to different things.

Myles P.O.V

I was skating with Betsy and I glanced at Aaliyah and Kalin's way.. A shot of jealousy suddenly ran through me.. "What's wrong Myles?" Betsy asked. "Nothing" I say. "There is something wrong, you're really red.. and saying nothing means there is something wrong." she explains.. "I think I like Aaliyah.. I just met her and all, and I want to get to know her more.. seeing Kalin with her makes me jealous, I guess.." my voice starts to fade. "Go ask to hang out with her." she suggests. "Like with Kalin too?" "No, with just you two." "So like a date?" I ask.. "Yeah" she says. I thought about it for a while.. Maybe I should.. I don't think Kalin would mind. At least I think he wouldn't. Aaliyah and Kalin ran to us. "Woah how do you do this?" Aaliyah smiles getting on my skateboard. She holds my hand as she gets on. Not to sound cheesy but my hand started tingling when she held my hand. "Aaliyah it's exactly like a longboard" Betsy says and starts laughing. "Well I don't really know how to longboard." she admits. "Then why'd you buy it?" Kalin butted in. "I got it for Christmas". Aaliyah was still holding on to me going sliding back on forth on the board. It was cute. "Myles teach me something" she laughs "Okay, well you should learn how to ride first." I state. "HA!" Betsy starts laughing. Kalin, Aaliyah and I look at her weird. "What?" I ask "Nevermind, go on" she giggles. "Okay anyways, put your right foot on the board and you can use your left foot to start moving." I say " She holds me tighter as she starts to try it. She skated for at least 5 minutes more. "Okay I wanna try it on my own." she says. "Be careful" Betsy states.

Aaliyah's P.O.V

I began doing what I was doing before and before I know it, I slipped. My whole body twisted and I was bleeding. My phone was in my pocket and it cracked and my phone wouldn't even turn on. I began crying, not because of my phone, because there were huge bruises and scars everywhere. Kalin and Myles began running towards me. Betsy was on her phone worried. "Hey I gotta go.. I'm so sorry I wish I can stay but I gotta go. " Betsy says and heads to her moms car. "Are you okay?" Myles asked. I didn't answer, I began to cry more. Then, I blacked out. —

I woke up in a room, not in mine. It seemed like a boy room. All I could see was the back of someone's head sitting on the side of me. "Myles?" I say "You're awake" he smiles in relief. I sat up, "Ow." I say. "Are you feeling any better?" I shake my head. "I can barely move.. and my phone isn't working" "You can stay over since your body is hurting.. Until you can move a little more and don't feel the pain of the bruises, I'll take you back home." he says. "Are you sure, I can just go.. I don't want to bother you at all." I say and trying to move but I couldn't.. "No, Aaliyah stay please" he says. His eyes locked on mine. I looked at his lips.. then back to his eyes.. he began to lean in.. soon enough, our lips locked. I pulled away.. "Sorry.." he says. "No it's fine.. I liked it." I admitted.. I seen him smirk. That was kinda awkward since I'm hurt at all.. "Where's Kalin?" I asked breaking the silence. "He's picking up pizza for us. Is it cool if he sleeps over?" "It's cool." "I'll get you some more ice." he says and goes downstairs. I didn't realize I was laying on a bag of ice, no wonder why it was so cold. I wrapped myself in his covers. Myles came back in an instant. "Sorry I'm really cold.." I say embarrassed. "It's okay" he laughs. He places the ice on my leg.. "Ow" I mumble. "Here's some pain reliever.." he gives me a pill and some water. "Thanks" I drink it. "You know, I barely know you and Kalin.. but it feels like I've known you forever" "I can say the same" Kalin walks in. "Hey Aaliyah, you feelin' better?" I nod, the smell of pizza made me so hungry. I grabbed a piece and began eating. "Aye Myles!" I heard a boy from downstairs yell. "Hold up." Myles said setting his pizza on the plate and running downstairs. "What up" is all I heard before his voice faded away. "Thanks for the pizza Kalin" I giggle "No problem" he smiles. "Ow my shoulders hurt" I say "I'll massage them for you" he sits behind me and begins to massage my shoulders. After about 2 minutes, it felt easier to move again.. "Wow thanks" I say. Kalin gets up and sits on Myles beanbag. "Sorry about that." Myles walks back in. "Jake wanted to know if I took his macbook" he continued. "I can move now" I say "That's good." he smiles "But can I still stay the night?" "Of course" "So where do I sleep?" "You can sleep next to me" as Myles said that, Kalin shot a glare at him.. As much as I wanted to sleep next to Myles, not in a weird way, I said no. "No it's fine, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable.. I can sleep on the floor." "Aaliyah I don't want you to sleep on the floor, you just got hurt. I don't want you to lay on the hard floor. You won't make me feel uncomfortable at all." he says and smiles. Oh my gosh, this boy.. I felt my face turn a bit red. —-

Nightime

It was night time, I borrowed Myles clothes cause it fit me better then Kalin's clothes. I brushed my teeth and threw my hair in a bun. I layed on Myles bed and played with my hair tie on my wrist since my phone was broken.

Kalin's P.O.V

I went downstairs where Jake and Myles were. "Aye" I greeted them "Kalin can I talk to you?" Myles said "What's goodie?" I say "Is it weird if I ask Aaliyah out?" as Myles said those words, my heart fell into pieces... But I don't want to hurt Myles feelings.. In plus it seems Aaliyah likes Myles, she's sleeping in his bed and everything. "Go ahead bro" I said trying not to sound hurt. I went onto the couch and thought about how I should've quickly made a move before he did..

Myles P.O.V

I was so happy, she'll be My Girl Aaliyah. ;) I walked into my room and seen her sleeping. Seeing her in my clothes was so cute. I shut my door and quietly layed down next to her. She rolled over, "Myles?" "Yes?" "Can I cuddle with you..? I can't go back to sleep because I keep thinking of scary things.." she says. "Of course" she wrapped her legs and arms around me, and with that, we both fell asleep.
