Alex

I woke up the next morning with a pounding headache, from crying for so long last night. I don’t remember when I fell asleep, but I must have at some time. I couldn’t feel Krys’ arm around me anymore, so I rolled over and saw that I was the only one in my bunk. It made me heart hurt a little bit, but it’s my fault in the first place. I was the one that kissed her, I was the one that made everything awkward for her. I should have known that she didn’t like me back, but I guess I just needed to let my heart know that.

I climbed down and out of my bunk, finally noticing how hot the bus was. I took off my hoodie, as well as my sweat soaked shirt. I threw them into my junk bunk, not grabbing another shirt and just walked out into the front lounge. When I passed the door that leads to the lounge, I saw that Krys’ was just sitting there, all cuddled up in a blanket watching tv. She was the only one in the lounge, so that made me wonder where everyone else is.

I walked over to the other couch, the one she wasn’t on, and sat down. She took noticed in me and gave me a small smile. I returned the smile, but mine was faked, and everyone could tell. “Everyone went out for breakfast. They are bringing us some back.” She spoke.

“Alright.” I spoke for the first time since awaking, noticing how hoarse my voice sounds. I lifted my eyes from the ground, and placed them on the tv, seeing what was on. I felt movements on the couch, and I looked to my left and saw that Krys had moved over next to me with her blanket. I looked back at the tv, not knowing what to say or do. I didn’t want to be rude, asking her to move. But I also didn’t want to make things more awkward between us. I don’t believe she knows how much her little acts have effect on me.

I felt her poke my cheek and I looked over at him, giving her a questioning look. “We need to talk about last night.” She said. I sighed and moved so I was facing her, and my back was facing the rest of the couch.

“I guess we should. And I also guess I should be the one to start.” I cleared my throat and spoke again. “I’ll sorry for what I did. I wasn’t thinking straight. Something happened the night before last and everything in my mind was just all mixed up together. My feelings, my thoughts, my everything. I’m so so sorry. I promise I’ll never do it again.” I looked down at my lap, now noticing the I was fiddling with my fingers. I felt two fingers place under my chin, and looked back up.

“Why don’t you start with what happened the other night? I could tell something was wrong, but I didn’t want to pressure you or anything.” She said in her soft, sweet voice. I took another sigh and nodded my head slowly.

“Lisa called me. Basically she called me crying, talking about how the guy she left me for cheated on her with her friend. She told me that she was wrong to leave me for a scumbag like him, that she was wrong for ever hurting me the way she did. She said she wanted to get back together with me Krys.” I looked into her eyes, knowing that mine were about to shed more tears.

“But, that’s what you wanted, right? To get Lisa back?” I thought about it, and that’s when I realized something.

“No. That’s not what I want. I don’t need her anymore, I’m better off without her. Over the past week or so, I have had her on my mind, but not as often. I think I have finally moved on, and I’m kinda glad I did.” I gave her a lighthearted smile, to which she returned.

“I’m glad you moved on. That means I can do this.” I looked at her with a confused look, wondering what she was saying, but my question was answered when she used both of her hands and pushed me a bit, making me fall onto the couch to where I was laying down now. She climbed on top of me, bringing her blanket with her, and connected her lips with mine. I couldn’t help but feel a bit of a spark when she did so, but it left me more confused than ever. I used my hands and pushed her back a bit, looking her in the eyes.

“What are you doing?” I questioned. There was no way I was going to let this happen if she was only doing it to make me happy again. No way was I going to let her do anything she wasn’t comfortable with. She looked into my eyes and spoke.

“I have feelings, Alex. For you. Last night just shocked me. I have trust issues, I’m afraid to get hurt again. But, I’m willing to try again, if you are, that is.” That was all I needed to hear to let myself resume what she has started. I removed my hands from her shoulders, letting her hold herself up with her arms, as I let my hands trail to her waist. She placed her lips onto mine again, and this time I returned the action. I couldn’t help but smile into the kiss a bit. I felt her bite my bottom lip, and I couldn’t contain the small moan that released from my vocal cord, which caused her to smile into the kiss as well. But, holy shit was she a good kisser. Things got a bit more heated, and I let my hands travel up her shirt and land on her back. I could hear the bus door open, but I didn’t pay any mind to it. All I wanted at this very moment was for the world to disappear, and let Krys and I have our little bit of time together.

“Okay guys. Drop the food off right here, then everyone back off the bus.” I heard the voice of my best friend say. Krys and I removed our lips from each other, but stayed in the position we were in. We looked up and saw Jack, Zack, Rian, and some of the band crew standing there with knowing smirks on their faces.

“Get out.” Krys said. I chuckled and everyone shook their heads as they made their way off the bus again. I looked back to Krys and saw the smile that was playing on her kiss swollen lips, cause one of my own. “Now, where were we?” She leaned her head back down to mine and made our lips collide again. It was in that moment, that I knew that this is what I truly wanted.
