***Natalia's POV***

"Are you okay?"

I looked up and saw....

Oh. My. Gosh.

"K-Kyle? What are you doing here?" I said, tears forming in my eyes.

"I just wanted to see if you're okay..." Kyle said slowly. He rubbed the back of his head and looked to his left and right.

"Really Kyle. Don't spare me your pity. I'm fine," I said trying to reassure him so that he could leave me alone.

"I just want to help, Natalia. I'm your best friend so I should always be there for you," he said, smiling at me. I really wanted to hug him and tell him that I really miss him. I want to tell him that I've been acting like a bad best friend to him. But I can't. I just can't. He has a girlfriend already. I don't want to start a fight.

"Natalia? Are you okay?" he asked me. I stared down at the floor. I didn't want to look at him or I'll burst into tears again.

"Does it look like I am?" I said, mustering all the courage I need to face him. I looked at him and noticed there was hurt in his eyes.

He looked at his side. I saw a tear left his eyes.

Oh Natalia. Look what have you done. He's hurt because of what you said. I thought.

"Kyle-"

"You should be lucky to have a best friend like me. If you're sad, I'm always there for you. I always help you with your problems. As a best friend, I've loved you. Is this what I get for all I've done to you?" he asked me, furiously. Tears were forming in his eyes.

I don't know why but my heart hurt hearing the word loved. Does that mean he really doesn't love me anymore?

"You don't love me anymore, Kyle? It just seems that bitch changed you. You are not the Kyle I knew before. The Kyle before was kind, loving and never gets angry. Especially at me. Don't you love me, Kyle?" I asked him. I cupped his face with my hands. He sobbed. I wiped his tears.

He hugged me and I hugged him back. I really miss my best friend. Never did I have these hugs before. He was just too busy with his girlfriend.

"I miss you, Kyle. But please tell me....do you still love me?" I asked him, pulling away from the hug.

He looked down. What was he thinking? Before he was so easy to read. Now, I coudln't find out what he was thinking.

"No. I don't Natalia," he said, walking away.
I froze. He...doesn't love me anymore?

I fell into my knees and sobbed.

Why does it hurt so much?
