To Be Torn Between Two

Chapter 5: Something Strange Is Going On

"I-I think I have a crush on L-Layla" Cody stuttered and sheepishly smiled towards Kelly who was just speechless. Kelly just stared at him, not knowing what to say or do. "Please say something, Kel."

"Wow…" was all Kelly could say. There was a silence between the two and Cody was bright red from embarrassment. "Really? You have a crush on Layla?" Kelly exclaimed with a grin on her face now as Cody nodded reluctantly. "That is so adorable!"

"Can you keep your voice down. I don't want the whole of Miami hearing this" Cody said as Kelly rolled her eyes and opened the door to her room. She stepped aside to let Cody in.

"Sit" Kelly motioned over to the couch. Cody looked between Kelly and the couch nervously wishing he had never told Kelly his secret. "When did this happen?" Kelly asked in surprise as she decided to sit next to Cody who began to relax.

"I don't know…it just happened" Cody sighed burying his head in his hands. Kelly smiled at him and Cody looked up at her in confusion. "Why are you smiling?"

"Because I think you two would make the cutest couple ever!" Kelly exclaimed, becoming overly excited, causing Cody roll his eyes. "You should totally tell Layla or maybe I could talk to her for you." Cody stared at Kelly in disbelief.

"I don't think you should say anything to Layla" Cody sighed as Kelly raised her eyebrows at him. "That's a really bad idea" he added.

"I could, and then you guys could get together" Kelly teased.

"Kelly please, don't say anything. It might make my friendship with Layla a little awkward" Cody stated seriously and Kelly nodded her head in return.

"I was just kidding Cody. Your secret's safe with me" Kelly said with a smile.

"Thanks Kel" Cody gave her a light hug. There was a silence between the two once again. "Let's talk about you." Kelly couldn't help but laugh at his comment.

"Me?" Kelly answered, before running her hands through her blonde hair. "Well I...it's all a little complicated" Kelly managed to say causing Cody to stare at her completely dumbfounded.

"Complicated?" Cody replied raising an eyebrow. Kelly nodded in return. "Do you want to tell me what's up Kel? You did ask me about guys and mixed messages. I can tell something's wrong." Kelly stayed silent not wanting to talk about her feelings towards Randy or John right now.

"Thanks for your concern Cody but really I'm fine" Kelly answered with a reassuring smile. Cody didn't believe her but he decided to change the topic.

"So, what's up with you and John these days" Cody asked with a wink. The mentioning of John's name made Kelly blush.

"Nothing, we're just best friends" Kelly lied as Cody couldn't help but chuckle at her. "What?"

"Are you sure about that?" Cody asked again causing Kelly to blush a deeper shade of crimson. She needed to create a comeback and fast.

"You and Layla would make a good couple because you both are very annoying" Kelly teased causing Cody to chuckle. "In fact," Kelly looked at the clock on the wall, "I have to get to the grocery store maybe you two could hang out for a bit?" Kelly suggested a playful smirk appearing on her face. Cody blushed as Kelly picked up her car keys and walked towards the door. "Look who's blushing now?" Kelly grinned.

"I'm gonna get you back for that" Cody replied, still blushing. Kelly just grinned cheekily across at Cody before she shut the door behind her and went to find John so they could go to the grocery store.

Kelly was in the foyer now, casually waiting for John who was still greeting fans with Layla. On one of the couches she saw Eve and Randy sitting together. Eve seemed to be talking away about something while Randy just looked as if he wanted her to be quiet. Kelly looked away not wanting to be caught staring at the couple, for two reasons. One she couldn't stand the sight of them being together and two Eve would probably give her a hard time over it. "Hey Kel" John Cena chimed causing Kelly to snap out of her thoughts.
