Teenage Spy Life

How to Keep a Secret

Rule 4: "The best way to keep a secret? Keep it to yourself. Second best? Tell one other person - if you must. There is no third best."

Austin's pov

I open my eyes and see that I'm laying on the couch and Kylie isn't with me anymore. I then hear her "I'm high as a kite," giggles coming from the kitchen and a males deep chuckles. I get ready to sit up but then I hear Kylie say " You're cute but you confuse me."

The male responds "How do I confuse you?"

I recognized the voice and it belongs to Alex. Kylie answers "You're cute but I can never get a good read on you. One minute you a nice guy and then the next you a cocky annoying jerk."

Alex chuckles and says "You better be careful saying that since Austin is right there on the couch."

Kylie responds " So he is asleep and it not like we are doing or saying anything bad."

Alex says to Kylie "Austin really cares about you. You know that right?"

She giggles and answers " I know he does...."

She sighs before she finishes what she is saying so Alex asks " What's wrong?"

She doesn't giggle this time she just answers " I really do care about Austin too because he is the only one who was always been there for me until he wasn't and that's the problem."

I'm so angry with myself I should have know that when I moved it would have hurt Kylie. Alex responds to Kylie by asking " What do you mean?"

" It's hard to explain. I didn't have a good life and Austin made it better. We always joked that he was my sunshine on a cloudy day. But then one day he moved and he never called. At first I was pissed because I liked him like more then a friend and he just left me to face life by myself. I eventually forgave him. There was nothing he could have done to stop anything."

Alex say " I'm sure Austin did everything he could to stay with you."

I remember the day that my mom and left like it was yesterday.

Memory
Kylie looks at me with her beautiful brown eyes but they aren't sparkling like they usually do. Right now they are looking at me sadly and with tears getting ready to spill. Which really hurt me because all the years I had know Kylie I had only seen her cry once, but it's getting ready to be twice. I pull her into a giant hug and she sniffles in my chest and asks " Do you really have to leave?"

I hug her tighter and reply " I do but I wish I didn't. I want to stay her and protect you."

She give chocked up chuckle and says "As much as I wish you could, you can't protect me. Nobody can protect me."

We continue to hug each other in silence. Kylie breaks the silence first by saying " I would offer you to come live with me at my house, but I wish I didn't even live at my house so I doubt you would want to live there."

Before I could reply my mom pulls up and honks at me telling me it's time to leave and start a new life. I had let go of Kylie when I turned to see my mom pull up so when I turned around I was crushed to see Kylie staring at me with tears streaming down her face. It broke my heart. I was about to leave my best friend unprotected against her dad.

I pulled Kylie into another hug, but she had a different plan. When I wrapped my arms around her she jumped up and wrapped her legs around me and arms went around my neck. She layered her head on my shoulder and cried.

While holding her I walked over to my moms car. Once I reached my moms car I set Kylie down. Kylie looks over at my mother. When my mom see the emotional state Kylie was in I knew she wanted to pack Kylie in our car and take her with us but we couldn't. Kylie says to my mom " Ms. Brown I am begging you please don't leave or please take me with you. I can't stay here, not by myself."

Kylie's voice had cracked towards the end that made a tear slip down my face. My mom looks sadly at Kylie and replied " Baby if I could I would bring you or stay here but I don't have a choice on either matter."

My heartbroken mother gets back into the car. I then turn to Kylie who has a few traitor tears slipping down her face. I take my thumbs and wipe her tears away and tell her "Don't worry K, I will always protect you. I am only one call away."

Kylie gives me a small smile and says " Whatever you say, Superman."

I grin at her and say " Baby superman's got nothing on me."

We then finish our goodbyes and I get into my moms car and we drove away leave the girl I love alone and crying.

(End of the memory)

After we got to our new house I didn't utter a word to my mother for a while because I was angry. I am pulled out of the memory by Kylie giggling and saying to Alex "Sure ask away."

He must have asked if he could as a question while I was thinking. Alex asks " Why was you life not a good one? What did Austin have to protect you from? He is always saying he promised to protect you."

I get a little angry with his question. One it's non of his damn business and two she is high as a kite and can't defend herself from his questions. Kylie says to him " Let me tell you a little secret..."

I am about to stop her but then she continues "I may be high as a kite and most likely won't remember any conversation I've had with you guys but I do know one thing and that's if you want to keep a secret, you keep it to yourself."

That's my girl. I then hear a door close and the I hear Kylie's voice and it's says "Austin, I know you're awake. You can get up now."

I sit up and she walks over and sits on the couch next to me. She lays her head on my shoulder and I ask her "How did you know I was awake?"

She giggles and replies "Just because I'm all drugged up doesn't mean I'm not the same Kylie. I'm just a little more happy, sharing, and giggly. Even though I'm high, I'm still smart but I'm just a little slower."

We sit in silence and then she asks " How much of Alex's and mine conversation did you hear?"

I don't want her to know that I heard them talking about me and I don't want her to know that I heard her call Alex cute, so I answer "I heard him ask you those personal questions and I was getting ready to stop him but you handled yourself."

She gives me an eye roll and goofy smile and says "I've always been able to handle myself."

I give her a grin back and say "Don't I know it."

What do you think?

I know this one is short but it just a filler for the next chapter because in the next chapter is when the action starts.

I also know I haven't updated and I have two reason; One school and sports have been taking up all my time. Two I have been stuck on how to get the part of the story I wanted too but have no fear I figured it out. 

I am hoping to post the next chapter by Sunday night or maybe Monday!
