When Ice Falls for Fire

Emily pov

I was awaken by the sound of someone knocking in on the door. I got up, unwillingly and shuffled to the door. I looked through the peep hole to see who it was. I open the door, it was Kyle. "Mike isn't here." I said to him with my raspy morning voice. "I know. He is at work. I am actually here for you." Kyle said looking at me. I turned to him and said "Really? Why is that exactly?" I gave him a devious smile. He started to walk around the apartment, touching everything. "I don't know, I guess that I-I um kinda like you. I guess you can say." I could tell by how his shoulders were all tight he was nervous. I could also tell by the tone in his voice. It was cute. "Really? Well that's good would you like some coffee?" I asked. I am sure I was smiling like an idiot. "Yeah, I would like a cup. I like it black." He said still walking around the apartment. I grabbed the cups and looked down to make sure I wasn't spilling any, when I noticed that I had frozen the coffee. "Never-mind the coffee maker is broken." I said flipping the cups up side down in the sink.

I walked toward the couch and sat down. Kyle came and sat down next to me. "Where are your parents exactly? Sorry but it has been bothering me. little." he said looking me strait in the eyes. His eyes had a strip of sympathy in them. It hurts when people look at me like that. When they look at me like I am a abused puppy. "They died four years ago." I said. His eyes still looking at me with sympathy. "Oh, how?" he asked. "

"They were leaving for a business trip and the plane exploded. I was twelve

when it happened. Mike was eighteen so he has been taking care of me ever since." I told him. I blinked back my tears. "I am sorry. I sorta know how it feels. I lost my dad in a boating accident when I was six." he said still looking me in the eyes. "Wow, I am so sorry." I said hoping I didn't have the look of sympathy in my eyes. A smile slowly started to cross his face. "Your hair." he said with a worry in his voice. "what about it?" I asked hearing it shake. I didn't wait for an answer, I just darted for the bathroom and shut the door and locked it. I turned and looked in the mirror. He was right my hair, it was changing. It was starting to change white...
