Kyla's POV
Gray and I danced around the kitchen as we cooked dinner. It felt amazing to be able to be myself around him again instead of being on edge. I missed this, I missed Gray. I missed his company...

Grayson then grabbed my hand and twirled me into his arms, laughing whilst doing so. After a few seconds, our laughing seized and was replaced by Gray staring into my eyes.

Grayson's POV Everytime Kyla got close by me, my heart would burst out of my chest almost as if I'd forgotten how beautiful she was

Grayson's POV
Everytime Kyla got close by me, my heart would burst out of my chest almost as if I'd forgotten how beautiful she was. No matter how hard I'd tried, I could never find any fault with her. She was perfect, inside and out. Her soul was pure and filled with so much love yet she'd been through some shit situations that she didn't deserve.
As she looked up to me, our eyes met and, for a second, everything seemed to melt away. I'd felt this before on the beach... Our first kiss. Whilst I began stroking her face, she bit her lip slightly and looked down to the floor.
"Kyla." She looked back to me and smiled lightly. "I miss you." She let out a sigh filled with so much pain that even I could hear it.
"Gray, please..."
"I'm sorry, I am. I've tried letting you go, I just-"
"You have Beth now. Sure, she's an asshole but you chose her" She said stepping back from me. I grabbed her hand and tried pulling her back to me.
"I didn't choose her, Kyla. You gave me no choice..."
"No choice?! Grayson, I spent days crying because you left, you wouldn't speak to me. You broke up with me"
"I had no choice, you slept with my brother!"
"I said I was sorry!" She yelled at me. "I'm sorry. How much longer will you punish me for a mistake I made?!"

Mistake? Did she mean that? Did she truly think sleeping with Ethan was a mistake?

"Kyla..."
"No. You don't understand, Gray. I've cried over you too many times, I saved your brother's life whilst you were busy getting your dick wet in my ex best friend and then you have the nerve to continue making me feel like shit over that one thing that I did." Honestly, I had no idea how to respond to that. Most of it had taken me by surprise, partially at the fact she had so much anger built up inside because of me.
"You don't get to make me fall in love with you, break my heart, date my best friend and make me feel like complete and utter shit and then come back and make me fall for you again... You don't get to do that to me, Grayson Dola-"

I cut her off with a kiss.

Ethan's POV
"Don't touch me, I don't know where you've been" I said as I shoved her hand away.
"You play so hard to get, Ethan Dolan, but I know you want me. Even if it's only a one time thing, I don't mind. You pretend to hate m-"
"I don't pretend, I'm not 6." She sighed at me and bit her lip.
"Well if you ever want anything" she edged closer to my face. "Anything at all. I'm here."

Beth then kissed my cheek before walking away.

"Yknow what's funny, Beth?" She turned to look at me from across the room. "You walk around all high and mighty because you have Grayson. But you're nothing. You're a shitty friend, shitty girlfriend and shitty person. The amount of times Kyla had spoken to me about you... She made you sound like an amazing person. She spoke so highly of you, especially how you'd helped her through some rough patches and was there when she won this competition. It's funny that you'd think she was talking about two different people." I guess what I said made her a little uncomfortable as she began rubbing her arm and pulling at her sleeve.

"You're nothing compared to Kyla, I hope that sinks in. And I hope when Gray's dick is in you that you think all of this shit was worth losing your best friend."

Hours later, I joined Kyla in bed and snuggled up to her. She kissed my forehead and ran her fingers through my hair as I traced her back lightly with my fingertips.
"Are you okay?" She asked me. I sat up and looked her in the eyes.
"Kyla Perkins, I'm in love with you. This sounds stupid because we're so young but I want to marry you someday, I know I do. You're the only thing I've wanted this badly and I can't think of anyone else to spend my life with." She looked at me and smiled before kissing me.
"I'd marry you."

Kyla's POV
Suddenly Ethan ran downstairs. I'm not going to lie, at this point I was very confused as to what was happening. One second we were cuddled in bed and now Ethan had ran off.
After a few minutes he came running back upstairs, slightly out of breath and  came back over to the bed.

"Kyla... babygirl."
"Yes?" I laughed at him slightly.
"I don't have much to offer you, you live thousands of miles away, you're leaving in a few days and there's a huge chance that we may never meet again but I need you. I need you more than anything in existence. I can't picture myself without you... You are the only thing that makes me feel whole and I'm not prepared to lose that... Not now, not ever. When you leave, my life will stop. I'm nothing without you. Without you... I have nothing."

He then dropped onto one knee, holding a Haribo ring.

"Sorry this isn't a real ring, it's all I have right now. I'll replace it, I promise. It's okay if you eat it too...

Kyla Perkins, marry me?"

(Merry Christmas everyone!
