Dearest His Words [Kohnnie]

2 - Johnnies POV

"Hey. Kyle? I'm skipping with you...I have to talk to you about why Alex did what she did." I tell Kyle after he hangs up on his mom.

"You know why she did that? I'm actually really confused as to why she did..." He confesses to me.

"Yeah, I know why. And I'm actually really nervous to tell you why." I say, rubbing the back of my head.

"Why? You can tell me anything! You know this." He gives me a hug. I start feeling better about what I'm about to say. It's still hard. What if he doesn't want to be my friend anymore? What if he gets mad?

"I know." I sigh into his chest.

"Let's go somewhere private because I have a feeling we aren't going to want people hearing what he are talking about. Especially Alex, being that part of it is probably about her." Kyle states, walking out of the bathroom. I stand there. Thinking about what's about to happen. About what Kyle might say. About what he might do. "You comin?" Kyle says to me, snapping me back to reality.

"O-oh. Yea..." I stutter, feeling stupid.

"Ok. Let's go outside, behind the school, where no one, not even the janitor goes." He leads me out into the chilly autumn weather.

"Well fuck, Kyle it's cold out here." I shiver. Kyle takes off his sweatshirt and hands it to me.

"Here. I'm not cold." He smiles at me.

"No. Keep it." I turn the offer down.

"Johnnie. Take the damn thing." Kyle jokes.

"Well, fine. But, like I said, I need to talk to you about Alex." I say nervously.

"Okay...why did she just walk away after apologizing to you?" Kyle looks so confused. I don't blame him. I mean, Alex did something really weird. But with good reason.

I have no idea how I'm going to say it. It's super hard. I mean he probably won't feel the same, but he needs to know. I've been keeping it from him ever since I found it out, 2 months after My Digital Escape started. "Kyle, I-I l-love yo-" I was cut off by Kyle. He was hugging me. Tight. "K-Kyle..."

"You were nervous about telling me that? Why?" He lets go, grabbing my shoulders.

"Because. I didn't want you to be uncomfortable or mad or," I ramble.

"Stop. I wouldn't ever feel that way about my best friend. Even if they had a crush on me, Johnnie." He kisses my forehead. Kyle David fucking Hall just kissed my forehead....haha.

"Okay." I sigh. I'm glad he doesn't hate me.

"Wanna go to get food? We've got 40 minutes before 3rd hour. Chick-fil-a is only like 5 minutes away." Kyle suggests.

"Like a date?" I joke.

"Not this time. I can't cheat on Meghan. But next time. I promise." He Kyle says grabbing my hand. I nod. I can't cheat on Alex either.

We get to my car and Kyle says he's gonna drive. We get in the car. I look at Kyle and I smile.

"I love you too, Johnnie." Kyle murmurs.

"What?" I can't hear him.

"Johnnie. I love your deaf ass." Kyle says a little louder. I smile.

I open my mouth, but no words manage to come out.

"Really?" I manage to sputter out.

"Really." He glances and smiles back at me. Then he looks back at the road so we don't crash.

"How long?" I question Kyle once we get to Chick-Fil-A.

"What?"

"How long have you loved me?" I reword my sentence.

"Oh. 1 1/2 months. I know that that's not very long, but it's long enough to tell that I really like you Johnnie. You have been my best friend for a while. And honestly, I fell in love with my best friend..." He confesses.

-time skip to beginning of lunch-

"KYLE! JOHNNIE!" I hear Shannon yell to me and Kyle.

"I have to talk to Alex." I tell Shannon. I am not ready to let go of Alex. But I really need Kyle. I've never been so sure of something in my life.

"Ok. Kyle?"

"I gotta talk to Meghan....." Kyle says.

"Oh..." Shannon sounds disappointed.

"Yea." Kyle walks away.
