Lies and Pain

HERE WE GO... ;)

ELENA'S POINT OF VIEW

It's been six months since I started dating Kyle. We were getting serious, but no one else knew about us except Dean. Of course everyone had their suspicions, but they never had any evidence. I was becoming annoyed at the fact that we had to hide our relationship, and we couldn't even be seen together in public.

It's been half a year, and we haven't changed at all. It's been the same thing for half a year. Personally, I was becoming annoyed.

It was like he was ashamed to be with me.

I needed to talk to him today. It was our six month anniversary, but it's not like we could celebrate anywhere else.

I woke up this morning and saw Dean in the kitchen. He knew all about our relationship. Dean's my best friend. Of course I'll tell him everything. Besides, it's nice to get a man's opinion on things.

"I'm talking to Kyle today," I told him.

"About what?" he asked.

"The fact that we haven't changed at all. It's like he's ashamed to be with me. He won't even take me out!" I told him.

"Lena, you deserve so much more," he told me.

"No Dean. I don't," I said.

"Don't say that! You're beautiful, sweet, funny, and it's a shame that he's the one who's supposed to appreciate that," he told me.

I blushed.

"Thanks Dean," I said smiling.

"No problem, I'm here Elena. Always," he said.

"I appreciate that. You'll never know how much it means," I said kissing him on the cheek.

"Good luck today at work," he said winking.

"Thanks," I said laughing.

"I'll see you tonight!" He yelled.

----------------

I walked into Kyle's office feeling extremely nervous.

"Mr. Grant? Are you busy?" I asked.

"Not at all, please come in," he replied smirking.

"You know what today is right?" I asked.

"No what is it?" He asked.

"Our six month anniversary," I said sadly.

"Relax beautiful, I know. I was just playing with you," he said winking.

"Don't do that!" I said laughing.

"I would never forget that," he said smiling.

"So are we doing anything tonight?" I asked.

"Ahhh I can't baby! I have that meeting late tonight!" He said.

I sighed.

"Look, we can do something tomorrow," he said smiling.

"I know. It's just... I wish people could know about us. You know what I mean? It'd just be easier," I said.

"Well yeah it'd be easier, but you know I can't have anyone know about us," he replied.

"Kyle, we've been together for six months. The only person that knows about us is Dean. Don't you think it's time we tell more people?" I asked.

"No Elena!" He yelled.

"Why not?" I yelled back.

"Because people can't know about us!" He yelled.
