Pretty Vacant

Tension

Kaya's heart started pounding as he comforted her by stroking her back gently.
"Shhh" he pulled the messy hair out of her face.
She looked up at him.
"You know", he talked really quiet, "I don't think it was your fault they bullied you.
Just because you're a little different doesn't mean they can treat you like shit.
To be honest I don't even get why someone would harm you like that.
You clearly don't deserve that.
Noone does.
And to be honest I..."
Sid took a deep breath.
"I think you're really beautiful"
She looked at him in disbelief.
She felt the strong desire to just pull his face to hers and kiss him.
But, of course, she didn't dare to.
She opened her mouth to say thankyou but no word came out.
She just looked totally shocked.
Sid looked down.
"Sorry I shouldn't have said that..."

Sid was angry at himself.
He knew he shouldn't have said that as it seemed to be way too fast for her.
He knew he messed it up and already wanted to stand up when suddenly Kaya touched his shoulder carefully.
He looked up and he couldn't stop himself anymore.
Slowly he pulled her face to his and looked into her eyes.

Kaya felt her heart pound faster as he came very close to her lips with his.
Her mind was twisting and her whole body was wobbly.

Suddenly they heard the front door open.
They jumped apart fast as Johnny opened the living room door.
"Aaaah the old stones vinyl" he smiled as he walked towards them.
"Yea" Sid smiled at him nervously.
Johnny looked at Kaya.
"Ey Kid what happened?" he sat down next to her and layed his hand on her shoulder.
"Sid n I just had a very deep conversation about the past"
She already felt the tears form in her eyes again.
Johnny gave Sid a questioning look but he just shook his head and formed "dont ask" with his lips.
Johnny seemed to understand.
"Mh uhm...you seem tired...you can sleep in one of our beds if you want to...?"
Kaya nodded.
The crying had exhausted her and all she wanted to do was sleep.
"She can...uhm...sleep in my room on my bed...I have a couch in my room where I can sleep" Sid mumbled.
Johnny nodded.
"Yea. Good uhm..."
"I'll bring her upstairs" Sid interrupted him.
"Alright we're gonna eat something. If you get hungry just come downstairs" Johnny looked at both of them.
