This Shouldn't happen... Right? (BW/WM)

Part 14

"Why can't you learn to keep your mouth shut!" I had been pacing in Kelly and Mya's dorm since we made it back. Mya wasn't there. Kelly had cried the whole car ride home.

"Can you be-quiet I already feel like shit! Just go already she isn't coming back tonight anyway.." Kelly was defeated at this point. Her tears stained the sides of her cheeks and her makeup had been ruined. She didn't even bother to undress herself as she crawled into bed.

"Kels I'm not leaving until she does...," I sat down on the edge of the bed, "You didn't know about her situation so don't go and beat yourself up over it," Kelly rubbed her eyes to try and stop more tears from forming.

"I should of though.." Her voice was low, she reached to her dresser and picked up a rubber band to to put her hair in a bun. Kelly pushed up against the headboard, "Mya never spoke about them... even though we haven't known each other that long I just thought that..." Tears streamed down her face.

"You thought that you made a real friend," she nodded.

"You met Dex here... I thought I would make a friend too." Growing up many people were around us for the money, the prestige, our last name. We didn't know who to trust, so we had each other for so long. Last year, I met Dex. He could careless of who I was, or who I was related to. Kelly envied that, she would come up here every weekend just to experience the same thing I was.

"She still is your friend... we all have things that we are touchy about, secrets we just like to bury," I took her hands in mine, "She came here for a fresh start, that doesn't mean she doesn't care about you,"

Kelly sighed, "You're right, I let the anger get the best of me. She may not even want to talk to me anymore!" Kelly through her head back.

"Stop beating yourself up...get some sleep. Okay." She nodded and laid back down onto the pillow. I got up from her bed and sat back down by the window.

"What about you?" Kelly wasn't looking at me her head was in her pillow.

"What about me."

She sighed again, "what do you want from her? You care for her and you barely know her."

It was a realization I was wrestling with myself, "If I tell you this you'd think its cheesy."

"Don't tell me it was love at first sight," she laughed. I didn't respond, "Ryan..." I still didn't respond, "You are kidding me right..." She shot up from her bed. I just shook my head. "Thats fairytale... It doesn't happen in real life."

"Well it happened...it may not even be love," I tried downplaying what I was feeling, "I'm just really...really...really attracted to her thats all.."

"What if she doesn't want you?" Kelly was saying what I was already thinking. She doesn't want me I know, I am everything she is supposed to hate. She is everything I'm supposed to hate. So, this shouldn't be happening...Right? My feelings.

"It's something I can't except,  from here on forward I'm going to try and win her over." I made my mind up, she's what I wanted.

"And dad?"

"He's gotta get over it," Kelly was smiling from ear to ear.

"Its will be a fight for her heart, I may not know everything about Mya... but I know pain when I see it. And she has more than the both of us combined. Someone like you can hurt her more than anything."

"I know, but its worth the try." Nothing was going to stay in the way of what I wanted at this point.

The door to the dorm opened slowly. Mya was back, she entered the room and not alone....Dex.

"Ryan you're here?" Mya looked between me and Kelly. "I was going to speak to you guys in the morning but since you are here, we can do it now." She turned to Dex, "Thanks for everything." She hugged him. What the hell was going on?

"No problem... and don't forget okay...Ryan I'll see you in the morning." Forget what? Dex didn't even acknowledge Kelly.

"Can you guys have a seat, I'm going to explain everything... its best if I get this out now, so we can drop it for good." Mya moved to sit on her bed while Kelly and I sat across from her on Kelly's. My mind was still on Dex and her. What was that?

"Before you do... I want to say that I'm sorry for what I said," Kelly apologized.

"No you didn't know, I was going to tell you eventually... just didn't think it'd be this soon," Mya let out a sigh, "Okay... I never knew my parents or knew of them. They had a private adoption, I couldn't find them if I tried. I jumped from foster home to foster home. Not many people were fond of adopting a black child in my town," That broke me a bit, she had a tough life and the most I worried about is what color Bently I wanted for my birthday.

"I have a therapist who helps me a lot... he's like a father to me, he even got me into this school. He's all I got when I head home, I stay with him now. I was kicked out of the foster system as soon as I hit 18." I was getting pissed now. What kind of people did she even have in her life?

"Mya you got us now," Kelly pointed between the two of us, "We can help you out."

"No... I can do this on my own, thanks for the support but I don't want your pity."

"Pity? Its far from pity ?" I barged in, "I... we care about what happens to you. No matter what our father thinks, we aren't just going to leave you." That was the first time I outwardly expressed my feelings for her, and she noticed. Mya's face softened. She got up, stood in front of me and the next thing I knew she hugged me. My heart was thumping out of my chest at this point, she was so soft. It was like a shock wave through my body... I couldn't be the only one who felt it....

"Thank you..." that was all she said before a tear made it down her cheek.
