I fell in love with my best friend.

Telling Rye.

*Rye's room//Rye's POV*
I see Lauren look at her phone and smile. I wondered what she wanted me for. I sat on my bed and she stays stood. It makes me nervous the fact she wants to tell me something and doesn't want to sit down. "Sit down babe." I say patting the bed. She looks at me and gives in. Her fingers begin twitching. "What's up?" She looks at me before saying "I only realised this a little while ago. I think the fact we are closer now, makes me more."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Rye...I think I uh ha-" She gets cut off by Andy shouting in the room "GUYS COME DOWN!! LAUREN WE NEED YOU!" She smiles a nervous smile at me before walking out the door. What does she want to tell me?
"Coming Fovvler." I follow behind her. We run downstairs and see Brooklyn hugging Kaitlyn. Lauren rushes over to her. "What's wrong?!"
"I had to...."
"What happened Brook?" I ask.
"She called the police and he uh came back..." Lauren begins crying. "He did this to you? How did we not notice??"
"You guys went into the kitchen and you and Rye upstairs. He came in and took me out. Told me not scream ir shout. He beat me in the corridor and left my crying at the door. Brook came out and called then police again."
"Kaitlyn. I'm so sorry we didn't notice."
"Its not your fault. It's mine. I should of screamed, shouted, kicked, punched. But I didn't." She broke down. I look at the floor. "Has he been caught yet?"
"I don't know." Brook, Lauren and Kaitlyn all hug each other, crying. I walk over to Andy and pull him into the kitchen and locked the door.
"Dude what's your problem?"
"Oh sorry."
"What's up?"
"Lauren took me upstairs and wanted to tell me something. Has she said anything to you recently?" Andy shook his head. "Nah mate. She hasn't spoke to me today. I hope we're okay."
"I'll go ask the others."
After 3 minutes of getting Brook off Kaitlyn,I decided to ask him. "Is Kaitlyn alright out there?"
"Yea."He said wiping away the tears.
"Lauren pulled me upstairs. She didn't get to tell me what she was going to say. Has she said anything to you?"
"Rye. Look no she hasn't. I'm sorry. I need to see Kaitlyn. If you excuse me."
He pushed past my shoulders and I shouted Lauren in. I locked the door as she looked at me funny.
*Lauren's POV*
"Why you locked the door? I ask.
"I want to know what you were going to say." I look away from Rye and avoid eye contact. He walked closer to me. "What did you want to say?" He asked raising his voice slightly.
"Rye. I'm going to be honest with yo-"
"Thank you." I laugh.
"Don't tell anyone about this though please?"
"Okay...depends though."
"Not even Brook."
"Swear. Not even Brook."
I look at him trust fully and decide to tell him.
"Rye. Recently we have been spending so much time together. And I like it a lot. I love spending time with my best friend. I really do. I just wanted to say, I think...I have feelings for you...." I avoid contact and make a drink of water. I notice a shadow blocking the light above me. I turn around and see Rye there. "You....love me?" He asked with a serious face. I nod slowly and see his getting closer to mine.
"Promise you won't tell what I'm about to do?"
"In promi-" I get cut off by Rye's lips attacking mine. I rake my hand through it. Other on his cheek. He pushes me against the door. I smile and kiss him back. Each kiss gets better and better. Passion fills me. I knock my glass open and it smashes. "Whoops." I laugh before kissing him again. He picked me up onto the counter and began to take my Roadtrip top off.  "Do you know how long ive wanted to undress you like this?" He laughs.
"I've no idea." We laugh together. I start to pull his shirt over his head. He smashes another glass. I laugh before placing my finger on his lips "shh we will get caught." He laughs. "No we won't."
"Do you want to take this upstairs?" He smirks.
"Did you seriously just ask that?" His face drops. "Don't be silly Rye. Of course I do." We put our tops on, ignore the smashed glass, unlock the door and run upstairs, hands intertwined with each other.
