The dark one

Chapter 16 - Innocence is overrated

Kyle's P.O.V

After a couple hours of the awful thoughts and nightmares I finally manage to dose off. The silence is peaceful, serene. It Reminds me of a better time when things were so less complicated. I lived in a beautiful perfect neighbourhood and now I don't even know what country I'm in. But the thing I miss most? Being able to look at Kayla. When I used to look at her I would feel.....complete. Like everything just fits into place. I knew I loved her and I had never been more sure about anything in my life.

Now I can't help but cringe when I see her. Mixed feelings of love, anger betrayal and regret course through me and I don't think I can ever look at her in the same way again.

After a while of just laying there thinking I hear a soft tap on my door, so quiet and hesitant I think I may of imagined it. I wait a bit longer and hear it again so I get up wearily and pull open the door.

"Kayla?"

I mutter sleepily.

She looks so......innocent. In her soft looking robe with her big eyes staring up at me. It's killing me.

"I'm sorry it's just......are you awake?"

I sigh.

"I am now. What do you want?"

"I uh I don't know honestly. I just couldn't sleep."

"What do you want me to do about it?"

She looks up at me like I've slapped her. I know it was curt but I'm really too tired to pretend to be nice right now.

She furrows her brow and out of no-where asks.

"What are we?"

I stare at her blankly before stuttering

"I...I don't know what you mean."

She waves her hand back and forth between us.

"What's going on here? Are we.... Dating? are we friends? or...... Do you like hate me now?"

"I don't know."

I reply honestly

"Well....."

She whispers

"Why don't we find out then?"

She takes a step towards me and I lean into her wrapping my arms around her waist to pull her closer. I want this so much...... Her lips press firmly against mine and "BAM" like a punch to the face all my anger comes raging up and I push her, Roughly, off me. Ignoring the shock on her face I start to scream at her unable to control myself as I shout all the profanities I can think of before slamming the door in that "Innocent" looking face.

Annie's P.O.V

"Hold on get off for a second I think my phone just buzzed."

I push him off before checking the phone.

"What's it say babe?"

He asks before stroking a peice of hair behind my ear.

I read the message from Kyle saying to meet me back at the apartment before closing the phone.

"Oh nothing just work stuff."

He smiles at me believing it before he kisses my neck and starts to go lower.

"Ah No. I told you I wasn't ready. I have to go now ok but ill see you tomorrow?"

He gets off looking disappointed but smiles at me and gets my stuff.

"So you have my number?"

"Yeah"

"It was good meeting you last week I'm glad we stayed in touch."

"Me too babe. Love you."

"Love you too."

I reply before opening the door into the cool brisk night and start making my way back to the apartment
