Heading out of Mystic Falls, I waited thirty minutes before attempting to call Kai. I was worried about him, no matter what had gone down between us.
No answer. The motherfucker hadn't even made a voicemail yet.
I tried again. And again. And again.
Pulling the car to the side, I eventually decided to just text him. Maybe that was the only way I would get through to him.
'Where are you? I hope you're safe.'
I waited ten minutes. No reply. Trying again, I swiftly typed out another message.
'Kai? Are you okay?'
Another five minutes passed before I began to panic. Sure, it was very likely that he just didn't want to talk, but a large part of me was worried that he may have gone to do something stupid and was currently in trouble.
Just as I was about to start the engine and turn around to head back to Mystic Falls, my phone flashed with a notification.
Kai: I'm fine. I'm spending my last night at the hotel before moving into my apartment tomorrow.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
'Thank God. Why wouldn't you answer your calls?'
Another minute passed before he replied.
Kai: I need space. I don't want to talk. I can't do this right now.
My jaw almost hit the floor. Was he kidding? I knew he was angry, but to completely shut me out of his life without letting me even explain the situation... It was like being back in the Prison World all over again.
Clutching my daisy necklace, I felt my heart begin to break into a million pieces as I sent the next message:
'Are you really going to break up with me over text?'
Terrified of the reply, it took me almost a whole meditation session before I had the courage to read his reply.
Kai: Break up? Mikaela, we were never even dating?
Ouch. It was the truth, but it still hurt like hell. What was I doing?
'You know what I meant.'
I was a little embarrassed. I hadn't really meant it in that way, but I didn't know how else to explain our relationship. It was complicated.
Kai: I just need time, okay? I'm scared of what I'll do if you're around.
I rolled my eyes as I read his reply. Did he forget that I was a Hybrid or something? I could look after myself very well, and he knew that.
But maybe it wasn't the thought of fighting with me that scared him. Maybe, like me, he was terrified of completely destroying what we had for good.
