Clutching her books, Midnight couldn't help but smile as she watched Grey's car fade from view.

'It's official. I love him." She thought quietly, unable to keep the grin from her face.

Walking quietly Midnight couldn't help but think about Grey. How could he think he wasn't good enough for her?
He was absolutely and most definitely perfect.

Lost in her thoughts Midnight didn't notice someone was following her before a arm slipped around her shoulders.

"Kyle! You scared me." Midnight looked up to see the mischievous yes of her best friend, Kyle Everlost.

"You act like you didn't miss me, N."
He teased pulling her closer.

"Did I?" She questioned jokingly but Kyle glared.

"Don't joke like that, Night."

Midnight smiled softly and wrapped an arm around his waist. Kyle was your definition of clingy, possessive and everything in between. But he looked out for Midnight and cared for her when no one did.

"I'm just joking, K. You know I love you."

"You better." He murmured grumpily as Midnight laughed nudging the arm around her shoulder.

"Of course I do. Promise." To show reassurance Midnight smiled and moved closer as Kyle sighed.

"Love you too, N."

"N.... Who dropped you off at school today?" Midnight looked up at Kyle who continued to brush her hair.

"Oh! I haven't told you about, Grey haven't I?" Midnight could feel Kyle tensed but she waved it off. Kyle was always like this. No matter who she would introduce him to he would disapprove, it was a wonder how they became friends, but nevertheless Midnight was absolutely thankful.

"No you haven't. Explain."

"He's this really nice guy who I accidentally dialed... He REALY means well, K. And I just recently met him-"

"You know how dangerous that is." Kyle growled out and pulled her close. Midnight rolled her eyes. This again.

"Grey is really nice Kyle. You'll probably like him-"

"I don't like anyone." Kyle pointed put as Midnight shrugged.

"You like me, now shush! I'll call him , I swear you'll love him."

Kyle sighed as Midnight grabbed her phone and sat down beside. He loved her but how dense was she?

How couldn't she see how much he worship the ground she walked on? How couldn't she see how perfect she was for him? How?

And now another person he had to shoo off. Greedily, Kyle wanted Midnight all for himself. He wanted to protect and take care of the angel who was now smiling at her phone.

'Goddamnit she really likes him.' He cursed silently, turning away.

  All his anger vanished when the angel settled herself in his lap and hugged him tightly.

"I know how hard this is for you, K. But I really like Grey. And j want you to support you. You're my best friend. And I really don't know what I would do without you." She whispered softly causing Kyle's heart to break.

She loves him.

But all Kyle did was smiled and pulled her closer.

"Of course, N. I'm always going to be by your side."

'Until you decide to move on.' Kyle thought and sighed.

Until she would move on with someone knew he would hold her, take care of her, protect her, love her.

He would always love her. Even if she moved on.

Always.
