"So.. what was that?"

Hands on the wheels, Eve asks, curiosity lacing her tone as she keeps her eyes on the road. "Why was Lucy looking at you like she wanted to snap your neck?"

Sitting beside her, you keep your gaze on the side window, sighing, "You know how she is with me."

Eve tilts her head, thinking. "No, seriously. I saw her following you to that partition—"

"What?!"

You yell, grabbing the door handle and the transmission in panic. The car swerved a bit as Reed got startled, eliciting panic screams from everyone inside. Your face drains of color as Reed, intrigued, glances over and leans towards you casually, asking, "W—what what—why?"

"I uh.. We—" you stammer, running your fingers through your hair, bending over your thighs in distress.

Comprehension washes her face as Eve turns to the front of the road, eyes widening, "The fuck did you do with Tyler now?!"

Groaning, you mumble, "We.. we.. kissed."

"Are you both finally dating now?!" Tara chimes in from the back with newfound excitement, finally intrigued.

Oh right, Tara already knows about me and Dom now. Eve finally tells her—after your permission, of course—because she always pestered her when Dom was seen with other girls at parties while you were absent.

Blushing, you sit back, smiling dreamily. "I.. don't know.."

"After a hot ass. kiss?! You guys seriously need to have your reality checked. Unbelievable." Tara rolls her eyes dramatically—before Eve nudges her head from the front.

"They're still figuring it out, girlie. Cut them some slack~ We've known what they are since the very beginning anyway~"

"I'm scared though," you admit softly.

"Of what?" Eve and Tara ask simultaneously, their voices filled with concern. In melancholy, you tilt your head, gazing out of the window while saying,

"Of us."

You continue to stare at the sky, lost in thought. You see a plane soaring above—and you can't help but wonder if Tyler's on it. As the plane disappears into the horizon, you take a deep breath and close your eyes, holding onto the memory of him.. wondering..

So here I am, stuck. Stuck between being afraid to love you and wanting to love you. You're the first person I've ever felt this way about and I know this is going to ruin me.

But.. something so beautiful could hide as something so destructive, right?
