You’re not Alone Chapter 2: 1 year later

Kayley’s POV

                “Hey Jill can we talk?” I asked walking into my best friend Jill’s room.  I heard her laughing so she must be still be skyping James.

                “Oh hey KK.  JJ Kayley’s here!” Jill said.  Her and James were still dating after all this time.

                “Hey KQ!” I heard James say

                “Don’t call me that.” I said

                “Why?” he asked

                “I’ll tell you later, J.  Right now I need to go.  I love you.” She said blowing him a kiss.

                “Okay.  See you later and I love you too.  Bye Kayley.” She closed her laptop.

                “Okay so what’s wrong.  I told you me and James were having a video chat date today!” she said upset.

                “Preston broke up with me.” I said sadly.  “I’m sorry for ending your date with James, but I really needed to talk to you.” I said sitting on her bed.

                “It’s okay since you have a good reason.  Why did he break up with you?” she put her arm around me.

                “To date Jazzmine Taylor.” I felt tears coming into my eyes.

                “That butthole!” she said loudly.

                “I know right.” Tears started coming out now.

                “Oh my gosh Kayley.  I haven’t seen you cry since-“ I instantly stopped her right there.

                “Don’t.  Bring.  That.  Up.” I said through gritted teeth.

                “Sorry!  I didn’t think you were still sensitive about that.”

                “Well yeah!  I have three scars from that!”  I said pointing to my cheek, where I conceal the scars with make-up.

                “Kayley, James said that he wouldn’t talk for days-“  I interrupted her again.

                “That’s not what Carlos told me.”  I paused.  “He said he was quiet till they got to Hollywood.  Then it was like he forgot about me.” I said sadly.

                “Kays….” I started to walk away.

                “Thanks for trying to get me to talk to Kendall again, but I know the truth.” I went back home.

At Kendall’s old house:

                Me and my mom moved into Kendall’s old house when the guys left, and surprise surprise I have Kendall’s old room.  “Kayley is that you?” asked my mom from the kitchen.

                “Yeah its me!” I called back to her as I start walking up the stairs.

                “Are you trying out for hockey tomorrow?” I stopped cause I had no idea if I wanted to.  I didn’t try out last year cause I was upset about the guys, and I didn’t want anything to do with hockey.

                “Yeah mom I think I am.”  I am tired of being so depressed.  It’s time to get on with my life.  I walked to my closet.  In the very back was my hockey stick and skates.  “Might as well get some practice before tomorrow.”  I grabbed them and went to the frozen lake right behind my house.

                “Kayley!” said Jazzy a little girl on the peewee hockey team that me and Kendall taught how to play.  I haven’t seen her in a while, and she has definitely grown.

                “Hey Jazzy!” she ran and gave me a huge hug.

                “Kayley are you going to play hockey this year?” she asked as I walked to a toppled over tree to put my skates on.

                “Yeah this year I’m trying out.  I just need to practice.”  I put my skates on and stood up.  I saw Jazzy skating the perimeter of the ice to warm up.

                “I’ve missed you Kayley last year the hockey team stunk without you as captain.” I skated to the middle of the ice.

                “Yeah I heard.” I frowned and started doing high school hockey warm-ups.

                “Now that you’re back in action they’ll be awesome!” she gave me another hug.

                “Yeah everything will go back to normal.”  I said sighing as I hug her.  I know things won’t ever be the same as one year ago, but it’s time to pick up the pieces of my broken life.
