I decided to not text Keegan any more and just talk about things at the party later. I called Casey instead. She had been spending most of this break with her grandparents since they fly back to Japan on January 3.

“What is up James?” she asked, using our video windows to apply her make-up.

”Case, I am thinking of forgiving Keegan,” I said, hiding my face in my t-shirt.

She paused her eyeshadow application and put her face right up to her camera.

”Why James? Why do you keep letting Kee P. do this to you?” she inquired.

”Well Baylen explained everything to me about why he stayed the night at Isadora’s house last week. I just want to hear him out, Case. I love him. I am hopeful we can get it right this time,” I said.

“James, you know I want nothing more than to see you happy, but it seems that the times I see you with Keegan, you are crying or newly devastated behind something he did. I won’t support this, Brees. I just won’t,” she said, grabbing a nude lip liner from her dresser.

I understood where she was coming from. Her best friend kept getting hurt by the same boy over and over again. It was the worst broken record of our time. I was not sure why Keegan and I could not get it right.

“Case, so much has happened. Jagger told me she loves me, but I really have another reason for falling back to Keegan. Case, I have to tell you something,” I started.

I cleared my throat and lowered my voice. She furrowed her eyebrows and stopped applying her blush. She could hear the seriousness in my voice.

”What’s up my James?” she asked.

”So the reason I am trying so hard with Keegan is because on my birthday, we umm, well we had sex,” I said quietly.

Casey dropped her blush brush and stared at me with wide eyes. Her mouth hung open and she audibly gasped.

”Oh my god! I am so sorry I missed this news. This is so special. I have been so busy with my family that I didn’t even check on you,” she said, palming her face.

“No Case, please don’t feel bad. I am okay. It was so sweet, gentle and intimate. I felt so loved. I know his heart is really mine. He just isn’t sure how to give it to me. Please trust me with this,” I begged.

”I do James. I just don’t want you to keep getting hurt by this asshole. But I digress. I will keep my opinions to myself and help you get your guy in any way that I can,” she said smiling, “So you got laid for your birthday? I can’t beat Keegan’s gift, just so we are clear,” she joked.

“Oh my gosh Case! The make up bag you got me was more than enough,” I giggled.

We laughed for a bit and eventually hung up. I wanted to have the perfect dress for this party and I wanted everything to be special for when Keegan and I reunited. Tomorrow was the game with my dad, Allison and Jagger. I wanted to cancel until I figured out these feelings with Keegan, but it wouldn’t hurt to spend time with her until our feelings were settled right? I convinced myself of this idea and that is what I did.

  • One Of the Guys Part 2   Chapter 69

    The morning came in brutally. I rolled over begrudgingly and stopped my alarm. My head was hurting and my mind was racing. I had stayed up all night thinking about Keegan. His game was televised last night and I mindlessly watched. Seeing him actually enter the game in the 4th quarter was breathtaking. Keegan was a freshman so he didn’t get a lot of playing time. But on this day he did. I held my breath every time he was near the ball. Recalling the time from Homecoming when he had been knocked on conscious. My heart went back to that time. When he had seen me in my dress. The way his eyes had went over my body and face. Soaking in every inch. The way he gulped when I came closer. That made me smile. No Brees. Stop it. You aren’t his anymore. Today, I was going to the petting zoo with my softball team. They were doing team bonding. There were mazes, games, food and more at the petting zoo. She thought about the fun she would have with Harper and Quinn. She

    Meanwhile, at LSU, Keegan sat on the edge of his dorm bed staring at his phone. Brees was still blocked from nothing on his end. She had blocked him. He had tried once. He’d stared at the message he’d typed for nearly twenty minutes before finally deleting it. I miss you. Too simple. I’m sorry. Not enough. I didn’t mean it. A lie. Because he had meant what he’d said in that moment. He had been scared. Scared of their families. Scared of what happened next. Scared of how serious everything had become. But he’d never been scared of Brees. That was the part he couldn’t explain. He could face thousands of people in a stadium. He could handle the pressure of LSU. He could handle everything his future demanded from him. But the thought of admitting how much he loved his best friend’s little sister terrified him. And now he’d lost her. He wanted to drive home and scoop her up in his arms and let her know that his love for her had not changed and that they needed to be

    Brees thought blocking Keegan would make it easier.It didn’t.It just made everything quieter.His name no longer appeared on her phone.No late-night texts.No random pictures from his day.No stupid videos he knew would make her laugh when she was trying not to.No You awake? at midnight.Nothing.And somehow, nothing hurt worse than everything.She had stared at his contact for almost ten minutes before finally pressing Block Contact.Her thumb had hovered over the button.Once.Twice.Three times.Then she had done it.Because she couldn’t keep being the girl who waited for Keegan to decide what they were.Especially after what happened in front of their mothers.After her mom found out they’d been sleeping together, Keegan had promised her.“It won’t happen again.”Brees had wanted him to promise they would be safe. Not that it would never happen again.She had wanted that promise to mean he was choosing her.Instead, when their mothers asked what was happening between them, Kee

    “Wow, okay. Yeah, we are focusing on our sports and I’m getting more serious about Jagger since she is moving here next semester,” I said. His head whipped around so quickly. He looked confused. After our moms excused themselves, he moved closer to me on the couch. “Brees, what did you mean about you and Jagger?” he asked. “Well you said we weren’t together, so I assumed that meant what you said this morning about being in love with me was complete bull crap. What was that Kee?” I asked. At this point I was holding tears inside so hard that I thought my heart might explode. He grabbed my hand and didn’t let me pull away. “I felt like that was the right thing to say for now. Your mom seemed upset that we have been having sex. I didn’t want to give her anything else to worry about. I’m really sorry I said that. You know I absolutely love you with all my heart Squirt,” he said, bumping my chin. I shook my head. “No Keegan, I don’t know that. You have had a weird way of

    I looked at her with my mouth agape. Was she seriously having this conversation with Keegan in the next room? RAP! RAP! A knock on the door saved the day. Keegan poked his head inside and Ms. Kyren was right behind him. “You guys all good in here?” he asked. I nodded and tried to push him out of the room, but my mom made him sit down on the couch instead. “Join us for a moment you two. I was just discussing the protocol of safe sex with Brees,” my mom blurted. How embarrassing. She really didn’t need to do this right here just because Casey slipped up. Keegan fidgeted a bit and looked at his mom for reassurance. You could see how uncomfortable he was. “Oh they are safe Missy. I told Keegan they needed protection every time they were together and he promised me that they would,” Ms. Kyren said. My mom’s face turned a deep shade of red. I don’t think she was ready to hear that I had already been sleeping with Keegan. She turned to me specifically. Her eyes narrowing in on mi

    We made our way to my mom’s house. When we arrived I saw Casey’s car in the driveway. I was happy that she came. I had invited her, but she had been missing in action all day. She got out of her car when she saw me and she ran to me. It looked like she had been crying. I reached out and hugged her tightly. “What’s wrong my Casey girl? Did Cyman do something?” I asked. She nodded her head aggressively. Keegan looked at me and smiled and excused himself after giving Casey a warm hug. He went into the house so that we could talk. “So remember during the back to school party you saw Cyman and I… well we were sleeping together up until Thanksgiving Break,” Casey said wiping tears on her jean jacket. “Okay. I knew this information Case. What’s the deal?” I badgered. I will admit, I was a little perplexed that she was even bringing up his name when she knows I can’t stand him after how he treated her. “James… I’m pregnant,” Casey sputtered out. I almost dropped my phone. Did she ju
