Worth it.

Chapter ten

Zion's POV
I saw Edwin walk upstairs with Kc. I still thought it was weird of them hanging out so I follow them. I watch as Edwin leans in and kisses Kc. My heart sinks.
"Wow" I say. I walk out of her room heading towards my room.
"Zion. Zion please. Zion!" I hear her call out to me. I ignore her and go into my room. I close the door and sit with my back against the door. I feel tears come down my cheeks. This was a different type of hurt. I thought Sammi had broken my heart, but this. This was worse.
2 days later.
Kc's POV
I wake up really early. I had planned to fix all of this by tonight. It had been too long. I haven't talked to Edwin or Zion since the party, but today's the day all of that changes. Edwin walks into the kitchen, sees me, then walks right back out.
"Get in here" I yell at him. "We need to talk" he walks back in and sits at the table.
"Look I'm sorry I kissed you" he says.
"Edwin, I told you how much I'm into Zion. I told you how much I wanted to be with him"
"And did you know how much that killed me" he says. "Hearing you talk about Zion when I was falling for you?"
"Edwin. I'm sorry, but we are just friends. You need to understand that" I tell him.
"Then why'd you let me kiss you?" He asks me.
"Huh?"
"When Zion tried to kiss you, you pulled away. But when I did, you let me kiss you" He says. "Why would you let me kiss you and not Zion"
"Edwin, I was drunk. You think I could think straight?" I tell him. "Edwin. I need you to understand how much Zion means to me. I need you to go tell Zion what happened, so I can fix things between us"
"Why should I help you get with a guy that isn't me?" He says.
"Because before YOU caught feelings, we were best friends. And I really need that best friend right now" I say.
He sighs.
"I guess you have a point" he says going up to Zions room.
Zion's POV
It's been 2 days. I haven't left my room other than to use the bathroom. Only people I've seen are Nick and Austin who would check up on me once in a while. I couldn't leave my bed. Life had been so... hopeless. I couldn't sleep, every time I would close my eyes all I could see was Kc kissing Edwin. I stopped crying. I was just so numb. No emotions. I just laid there in my bed thinking of her. I hear someone knock on the door, then walk in.
"Zion" Edwin says.
"Get out." I tell him without turning.
"Zion let me explain" he starts.
"Explain what? How you betrayed me as my best friend and kissed the girl I have feelings for?"I say standing up.
"I never meant to hurt you, that was never my intention, I swear" he says. "I was hurt, Kc cares so much about you, she would spend hours just talking about you. I liked her Z, it hurt to watch her fall for another guy"
"So you decide to ruin the only good thing I had and kiss her?" I yell. "We were FINALLY in a good place Edwin"
"I'm sorry Zion. It was a mistake" he says. "Look, you can hate me all you want, but please don't hate Kc. She likes you a lot. I'm the one that kissed her. She pushed me away. You are the only one she wants" he puts his hand in his pockets and looks at the floor. "Just go talk to her man"
He leaves. Damn. She really likes me that much?
Kc's POV
I finish eating breakfast and start washing dishes.
"Hey..." I hear someone say.
