(Kylie's POV)
I stared at the door a good minute after Ryder ran out.
Fears bubbled in my head, making me feel sick.
Ryder wouldn't run out on us for his parents. That's a huge... Lie. He'd never do that... He told me... But if not, then...? Was everything okay? Did something happen? Did he... Know?
My fingers absently grazed my collar bone, and I took a moment to trace my scar.
It was a long curve extending from just below my collarbone on the right, and then it dipped, before forming a semicircle and re-touching my collarbone on the left.
It wasn't actually a scar though.
It was a b—
"That was weird, right?" Keith asked, shattering the silence.
I nodded, since I couldn't do anything else plus, I wasn't in the mood to write anymore.
Daisy opened her mouth to say something, but shut it before anything escaped.
"Are you okay?" Keith asked her.
"I— yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" Daisy smiled, but no one bought it.
"It's nothing, you just seem disheartened all of a sudden."
Daisy shook her head.
"I'm not disheartened. I'm just... That was strange, wasn't it? It's like Ryder's hiding something."
Nobody spoke after that. Not until the nurse walked in with the decision that visiting hours were over for the day.
None of us complained.
Daisy hugged me gently, and told me to get well soon, and then she and the nurse waited outside for Keith.
"I'm not going to tell you to get well soon, because I'm going to see you again tomorrow. Plus, I know you're going to be fine, so there's no point in me telling you anything. But, I will do this."
Keith leaned down and pressed his lips on mine, and for the entire duration of it, the world melted away. I had forgotten just how much I loved kissing Keith.
I tiny tiny sigh escaped my lips, along with all the tension that I'd been harbouring.
Still, Keith didn't let go. And that was fine. I didn't want him to let go. I wanted the world to be in limbo like this forever.
But eventually, we couldn't take it anymore, and with the lack of oxygen was forming too big a barrier between us, we pulled away, breathing hard.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that."
YOU have no idea how long I've wanted that.
Keith smiled at me, showing off teeth so white they gave me a headache. He leaned back in and planted a kiss of my forehead before getting up.
