Chapter 6

Kai's POV

I begged my mom to not tell my dad about this. She agreed, but made me promise that I will tell him soon. I reluctantly agreed, not wanting to tell him at all.

My dad got home from work and we ate dinner like nothing was wrong. The air was tense, but if my dad knew something, he didn't mention it.

Heading back up to my room, I jump in the shower, wanting to wash away this day.

Using my masculine smelling shampoo, I scrub at my blonde hair. Me being distracted, thinking about what Lukas is doing, I get soap into my brown eyes. The stinging goes away when I wash my eyes out in the water, but a slight burning remains.

Using body wash that smells the same as my shampoo, I quickly wash my entire body, wanting to go to bed as soon as possible.

I hop out of the shower and dry off, putting on my boxers. Brushing my teeth, I look at myself in the mirror. My blonde hair looking darker because it's wet, my brown eyes slightly red from the shampoo mishap. How can Lukas not want me?

After getting lost in thought, I realize that I'm done brushing my teeth. Spitting out the foamy toothpaste, I rinse my mouth and head back into my room.

Approaching my white bed, I flop right on top, exhausted from this crazy day.

I slowly maneuver myself so I can bring the covers over me. Once I'm settled in bed, I let my mind wander.

Lukas and I have been enemies ever since that incident. He was my best friend, we did everything with each other. I ruined not only our friendship, but Lukas' confidence. He is scared to trust, and that's my fault.

I hope he can learn to forgive me, I really want this to work. I already want him so bad, I don't know how he is resisting the bond so easily.

I'm making it my mission to help heal Lukas. Help heal is trust issues, how he is always closed off, I want to help him open up to others. Keeping yourself to protected like he has done, makes for a boring and unfulfilling life. I want to teach him that it's okay to open up, to be himself.

This will be a long journey, trying to bond with Lukas when he wants nothing to do with me. But I will be successful in my goal.

As I go to sleep, my thoughts linger on the boy who has captured my heart.
