Grow up
"We won't forget each other, right?"

When I got home, at three in the morning, dad was thankfully passed out already. Slumped on the kitchen floor
I made my way upstairs, trying to rid my head of those blue fucking eyes.• Inara •
I went to bed feeling... stupid
Stupid and guilty for letting Kane Vallow walk away from me after... after a kiss
A real kiss.•
"I'll call you when we land" Mom said
"How long will Ivy be?" Ethan asked
"Not long. I am capable of being alone you know? Ivy won't be here all week" I pointed out"Oh I know, I just hate leaving you all alone" Mom said, hugging me
"I'll be fine, enjoy yourselves" I said
A week alone was just what I needed
Quiet
Headspace.•
Quiet ruined by Ivy fucking Jang shouting her head off in my kitchen
"You kissed?" She asked
"Yes" I groaned, letting my head fall into my arms on the table."What do I do?" I asked muffled
"Call him" she shrugged
"I can't call him!" I said, looking up at her
"Why not? You clearly have to talk about it, he kissed you Inara, that's not a small thing" she said"He's kissed me loads of times" I argued
"Yes, in some weird fake dating arrangement, not in the middle of the night, on your doorstep" she argued back
I hated it when she was right."No, no... we were supposed to meet up today and he shot that down when he left. If either of us should text the other, it's him" I said
It should be up to him• Kane •
"I'm not texting her" I snapped for the thousandth time
"You can't leave that unspoken of mate, she'll crumble, you know she will" Koen said
"She'll be fine, it meant nothing" I said"Is that right, because you don't like people Kane. They're not in your nature, then you help her out of nowhere, after following her when Tommy had-"
"Don't" I warned
He sighed"Fine. But kissing her is a big thing Kane, especially for someone like you, you like her" he said
"No"
"Yes"
"No""Kane"
"Koen" I replied
"Stop being a child" he said
"You like her, just tell her, she definitely likes you" he said"No she doesn't, she... it doesn't matter, it meant nothing, I'm not fucking texting her!" I finalised, leaving his room.
