Remember Me
Chapter 13 - It's Too Late
Well who should I pick? They're both equally great in their own special way, but I just can't decide. I walk around school and people would just say, "Pick Kyle!" or "Pick Tyler!". It's so annoying, and it's none of their business. How did they find out anyways? I can't help but think about what they're saying, I just can't decide. I talked to my parents and brothers about it, but all the time they would just say the same thing, "It's your choice. Only you can make the right decision."
I arrived just in time to see Tyler by the door.
"Hey Amanda."
I tried to walk away and step around him, but he would just block me.
"What do you want?" I said frustrated.
"You don't have to talk to me. Just hear me out, okay? I just want you to listen. First off, I'm really sorry. I didn't want 'us' to turn out like this. Not at all. I'm going to California tomorrow and I want you to give me one more chance. Please, before I go."
I looked around and saw a crowd forming. What should I do? Should I give him a second chance? I looked deeper into the crowd and saw Kyle's face. He smiled at me, but his eyes gave him away. He looked so sad. I saw his lip twitch and it looked like he was hesitating to say something. I looked at him with pleading eyes, begging and trying to get him to say what was on his mind. He nodded slightly and took a breath before mouthing the words that broke my heart.
He whispered, "Give him a second chance."
I turned to look at Tyler then back at Kyle. He's so sweet. I can't do this. I can't do this to him. I turned to look at Tyler and took a deep breath. I made my decision.
"No." I whispered and looked away.
I turned around and kept my head down, while walking the rest of the way to class. I felt something tugging on my arm, so I turned around, expecting it to be Tyler, but instead I saw Kyle.
"Why didn't you give him a second chance?"
"I--uhh--" I stopped short and continued in a quieter voice, "'Cause you're the one I want to be with." I whispered, slightly embarrassed.
I looked down at my feet, hiding behind my hair, preventing him from seeing the blush that was slowly forming on my cheeks. I felt his finger on my chin as he brought it up slowly so that our eyes would meet.
"I was hoping you would say that because I want to be with you too."
A smile formed on his lips and he leaned down slowly. I closed my eyes feeling his warm breath on my lips. I smiled and lifted my head up, waiting for the kiss.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?!" I looked up, glaring at Tyler's figure near the end of the hallway. "When I try to kiss you, you avoid me and back off. I didn't want to pressure you with anything so I never kissed you!"
The hallway fell silent, and I didn't know what to say. I just didn't want to kiss Tyler!
"Dude just chill. No big deal." Kyle finally said.
He grabbed my wrist and he walked me to my next class.
Tyler's POV:
Why would Amanda kiss him and not me? What's so good about him? I came into her life first! I was friend's with her first! I think I deserve her more! I helped her the most when she needed help! She chose him and not me?!?! How? Why? Whatever the reason is, I just know that we belong together and that I would get her back. I know I will. I’m going to California tomorrow, but when I get back, I will get her back somehow. I’m going to become a guy she never saw before. A guy that will change her life. I’m going to be her guy and Kyle would be out of the picture.
