After All That We've Been Through

Kady's POV

After taking a nice relaxing shower on our brand new bus, I slowly start to get around to go out on the town with the guys. I was excited to celebrate our success but I wish I knew what the had happened between me and Brian. Throughout my whole shower and getting ready process, I replayed Brian's last kiss over in my mind, trying to figure out what happened. I've got nothing! What the fuck?!

I applied my makeup and curled my hair before pulling out a pair of ripped skinny leg jeans, a black t-shirt, and black converse. This outfit helped me to feel more like myself but I forgot one thing...my beanie! I quickly pull it over my head and fix my hair in the mirror. Now this is Kady Parker!

I walked out into the living room part of the bus only to see Marley and Caleb standing inches apart. They looked like they wanted to kill each other. The room was loaded with tension and I had a strange feeling this all had something to do about me.

"What do you mean you want to date my sister?" Caleb growled, grabbing Marley by the shirt. "Do you have any fucking idea what that would do to the band!"

Marley pushed Caleb away and brushed out his shirt. "So you'd rather keep her under a rock than let her date someone she cares about?!" Marley countered, his blue eyes narrow and dark.

"She can date whoever the fuck she wants as long as they are not in our band!"

By this point I am beyond pissed and my blood is boiling. "Are you fucking kidding me?" I snapped, stepping forward and pushing Caleb and Marley apart. "Who the hell are either of you to tell me who I can and can't fucking date?!"

"Dating dickwad over here would destroy our band and I forbid it!" Caleb yelled, throwing his empty beer bottle down on the floor. Well, that's one way to break in the new bus.

"Oh that's rich!" I laughed. "You forbid me? You FORBID ME? What about this?!" Without even thinking, I grabbed Marley by the shirt and smashed my lips to his. I was to pissed to feel anything let alone let him kiss me back. "How do you like them apples, Cal?!"

Caleb gapped at me with tight fists, trying to decide his next course of action.

"Yeah, what she said!" Marley laughed with a smug ass look that I wanted nothing more than to whip off his face.

"And you," I growled, turning on Marley with a pointed finger. "Who says I even want to date you? You've never even talked about having a relationship with me! You're my best friend and one day you turn around and kiss me?! What the hell is up with that!?" A frown pulls on Marley's lips and it know my words are hurting him, but I can't stop. "And then automatically that one kiss makes me your girlfriend? I don't think so Mar!"

He scoffed and turned his head away from me, unable to look me in the eye. I can tell that I hurt him and that he hated me right now. I careful walked forward and took his face into my hand, forcing him to meet my eyes. "Mar...I love you but I can't ruin our relationship with some questionable fling..." I sigh, tears forming in my eyes. "Can't we just stay the way we are? As Batman and Robbin?"

Marley ripped his face out of my hand and pushed me away. "Fuck off, Kadence," he scoffed before going to hide in his bunk.

"Well this is fucking great!" I said sarcastically, pulling my bag over my shoulder and leaving the bus. That wasn't the way I wanted to have either of those conversations....fuck me and my temper.

I walked down the street away from the arena we just played and toward the darkness."FUCK!" I screamed, kicking an old beer can. The can flew down the street, echoing and causing mayhem. I followed the rolling can until I reached a little open alcove of trees and sank down to my knees.

"Why does this shit always happen to me?" I cried, blurring my face in my hands as the tears started to flow. Marley was really the only friend I had ever had and now he didn't want anything to do with me. I was the worlds biggest asshole.

I angrily wiped away my tears as I smelled cigaret smoke. "What the..." I mutter to myself, sucking up my problems. I looked over into the distance to see a figure sitting on the picnic table with a cigaret.
"Hello?" I called only to be answered by a chuckle.

"Now I think you're the one stalking me," the voice said and I suddenly feel uneasy.

Notes

Poor Marley...no one should have to find out that way. Did he deserve it? Who is in the park in the dark?
