You Came Back (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 5

Kyle's POV

I watched Taylor and Anna's retreating figures and mentally sighed. I couldn't help, but be wary around him.
"You alright?" Zach asks. I nod and smile at him.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm wiped. Wanna head back?" Keith asks. Everyone agrees and I follow silently.

"Well, I'm exhausted. I'm going to head back to my dorm and crash for the night alright? I'll see you tomorrow." Zach kisses my forehead before walking away as soon we reach campus. Keith and I say goodbye to everyone else before going back to my dorm.
"Did you have fun today?" He asks. I nod.
Why'd you invite Taylor? I sign to him. He pales a bit.
"He seems cool."
That's not a good reason. He attacked me.
"He knew you back in Michigan. I can't exactly hate the guy for not knowing about your memory loss."
That's not it. You're lying.
"I'm not lying Kyle. He's an alright guy. And I felt bad." He confesses. I arch a brow. He raises his hands in mock surrender.
"I tackled him when we first met. He was just excited to see you. I thought you would've, you know, interacted a little more with him today." I frown at that. Why should I talk to Taylor?
He freaks me out.
"You talk to Lisa and Ty. They knew you in Michigan too." He points out.
That's different.
"How is that different?" He quirks a brow this time.
They didn't tackle me.
"Lisa was pretty rough. I think you should give him a chance. At least be friends with him. Zach has a ton of classes all throughout tomorrow right? You should "talk" to Taylor." He makes hand quotations around talk.
I don't want to.
Keith throws his hands up in the air in frustration.
"Please? For me? If you're still uncomfortable with him afterwards, then you never have to talk to him again." I roll my eyes.
I never have to talk to him again now.
"For fucks sake Kyle! That boy is your ex boyfriend!" Keith yells. My eyes widen.
"Fuck. You weren't supposed to know." He mutters.
Why didn't you tell me? What else do you know? I demand.
Keith sighs.
"He is the one that convinced you to come to Europe. You guys were in love it seems, he called once. When I answered your phone. He said he missed you, I told him it wasn't Kyle and asked who he was and the line went dead. That's why he was so excited to see you. He thought you came back to him. You guys had this deal or whatever, that after a year you would come back to America and live with him and his ginger friend." My eyes widen at all of this. It really is strange, hearing your life from someone and just expected to believe it.

You're lying. I sign to him. he could see the desperate look in my eyes.

"No Kyle, I'm not. Will you at least try to be friends, poor lad is already heart broken." Keith looked upset. so I caved and nodded. He grins and gives me Taylor's phone number.

To: Taylor

hey um, its Kyle. Keith gave me your number and I was wondering if you wanted to hang out tomorrow? I only have one class at 6

I nervously sent the text while receiving a thumbs up from Keith.

There I did it, happy? I sign. he smiles and nods.

"Yes very. He's really not that bad. I like him." Keith shrugs. A few more minutes, then my phone buzzes. I open the text and see its from Taylor.

From: Taylor

Oh hey, uh yea sure. when and where?

I'm thankful he is not one of those people that uses dozens of emojis to text. that drives me bloody insane. I turn back to Keith.

When and where? I ask him.

"You're the one hanging out with him. you pick." I roll my eyes.

To: Taylor

umm, the fountain at 11?

I get a response much quicker.

From: Taylor
