Chapter Fourty - Normal

Kyle's POV

Before I realise whats happening, my lips are on hers.

Why am I doing this? Do I like her? How can I do this to Dan?

Shit. Dan. He's my best friend. He's been my best friend for years and here I am, kissing the love of his life.

Emily pulls away instantly, "Kyle, what the HELL are you doing?!"

She sits up and stares at me. I can't tell if shes just shocked, or angry.

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't thinking!"

"I can tell" she crawls to the edge of the trampoline and jumps off, making her way towards the reception area. I jump off and follow her.

"Emily wait up" I get to the counter just after her and we grab our shoes, slip them on and I follow her outside.

Once we get a little bit down the street, she stops and turns to face me.

"What was that all about Kyle?" She doesn't look angry, "Do you like me? Like, whats happening here?"

"Nothing, no, I don't know" I sigh and start to play with the end of my moustache.

"I guess we've just been spending so much time together recently and I totally got caught up in the mom-" she holds her hand up to stop me.

"Listen I don't want to hear it if I'm honest" She shakes her head.

"We can't tell Dan, you know that right? It'll kill him, even if it was just nothing"

I nod "Okay, I won't say anything" Dan's been pissing me off on this tour but that's nothing compared to how angry hes going to be if he finds out about this.

"Right" Emily turns and starts walking down the road. I stare after her.

"Are you coming or what? I need to get back to the bus" she says.

"What if I do like you?"

"Kyle... what?"

"I mean like, what if I do kind of like you?" I ask again.

"Well Kyle if that's the case then you need to keep those feelings to yourself, because I love Dan... and I've always loved Dan"

Emily's POV

We get back to the bus after a fairly silent half an hour long walk.

Dans still sitting exactly where I left him, in the lounge, head resting on his hand and his other hand scribbling away furiously in a notebook.

Kyle follows me onto the bus but heads straight for his bunk.

I make my way to Dan and sit next to him.

"Hi" I say quietly.

"Hey" he looks up and smiles at me, "Listen I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier, all this writing and touring and more writing is making me exhausted"

"It's okay, I get it" I kiss his cheek and rest my head on his shoulder.

"Dan?"

"Yeah Ems?"

"You know I love you more than anything, right?"

He chuckles slightly. "Where'd that come from?"

"I just do, okay?"

"I know you do" he kisses the top of my head "I love you more than anything too"

I close my eyes and he continues to write, humming tunes out loud as he goes.

Have I made the right decision to not tell him about me and Kyle? I mean, it's not like it meant anything. I'm super close with Kyle and theres no denying hes a good looking guy. But I meant what I said, its always been Dan.

I hope this doesn't affect mine and Kyles relationship, because hes by far one of the best friends I've ever had and I don't want that to change.

Tour has been an amazing experience, but I honestly cant wait until its over, I'm so ready for everything to go back to normal.
