Glass Heart

Part Ten

Kylie's POV:

We filmed the Life is Sweeter scene, which took about a week.

Every single day, everyone was so busy. I barely saw anyone, let alone Malia. One day i'd get home at midnight, the next, she would.

I didnt think much of it, as we knew how busy we'd get with the show.

Why would I think hard about it?

But now that the scene is complete, and we're all starting to get back into our schedules, I have one word to describe my relationship with Malia.

Awkward?

I don't know what changed from last week to now, but it's almost as if she can't be around me unless someone else is there.

There's also an undeniable tension between us, but I'm unaware of what.

Today, we got to go back to Malias house early as a reward for good filming.

It was about noon, so I assumed we'd spend the rest of the day together.

But, as soon as we got home, she walked to her room and closed the door.

I walked in behind her, thinking nothing of it because we'd slept in the same bed for a week.

"Malia," I said, a confused tone capturing my voice.

She turned to me and smiled, but it was fake. I knew it was.

"Yeah, Ky?" She talked back at me but kept her eyes busy.

I walked over, took the item from her hands and set it down next to us, and made her face me.

"Did I do something?" I blurted. I wanted to know.

"Ky, no you did nothing." She said, quickly and to the point.

I slowly nodded but it was apparent that something happened.

"Malia, please tell me if I did something wrong," I didn't mean for my voice to come off so desperate, but it did.

"Kylie," She said, straight faced.

Kylie? No more 'Ky'?

"I'm just stressed, and I need a little space. Maybe rain check the sleepover tonight? I'll take the guest room."

Gosh Kylie, what did you do.

I just nodded.

"No, Malia i'm not making you take a guest room in your own house. I'll take it. Do you want me to get an uber home?"

She thought for a second, which was insane to me. I literally have no idea what I could've done wrong.

"No, it's not that deep. I just need some alone time, don't worry."

I nodded. I understand, it's her first time filming a show like this since she was ten, so I get it.

"Yeah of course, if you need anything i'm wherever your guest room is."

She nodded and shot me a quick smile before I walked out of the room.

I stood by the doorway for a second and heard her sigh softly.

I tried to think back to every interaction i've had with her since last week. Any context clues at what I could have done wrong,

Nothing.

About two hours passed, and it was now dark outside.

I was on the couch watching TV, when I heard Malias door open for the first time since I left her room.
