The Perfect Tragedy (Kelix)

Chapter 11

You never thought that we could be the perfect tragedy~

Alix pov:

He walked to his bed and sat down, patting next to him to get me to sit with him.

I felt my palms getting sweaty and my stomach getting tied in knots.

I sat down and wiped my hands off on my jeans.

"I'm really glad that you came to talk. I've been wanting to get a few things off of my chest, too." He simply smiled, and I knew he was nervous too.

I turned to face him and he was looking down at his hands, fidgeting with his fingers.

"Kevin, promise you won't let anything get between us, nothing at all. Promise that I can never lose you as my best friend." I said breaking the silence.

He looked up with a sad smile and said "I never want to lose you, Alix, never. I promise."

Here it goes...

"I haven't been completely honest with you for the last year or so..." I trailed off a bit.

His face fell and he looked hurt.

"W-what do you mean?" His eyes were welling up with tears.

I took a deep breath and exhaled into a long sigh.

"I've had this feeling for a while, but I never acted upon it. I was too afraid of being hurt and rejected."

He leaned it a bit because I was speaking softly now.

"I've been holding it down for so long, but I feel like it's time to get it out."

I took a long pause to gather my thoughts and find just the right words to say. I can't fuck this up.

"Kevin, I have feelings for you. I'm sorry if you didn't want to ever hear that, but it's the truth. I like you, a lot. No, I fucking love you. I love you, Kevin and I'm so sorry." I made myself louder than I was before.

I wanted to show him that I wasn't afraid of how I felt for him. I felt so much weight off of my shoulders.

The only problem was, he hadn't said anything yet.

"I-I." He stuttered out.

Did I do something wrong?

Oh God, he doesn't feel the same.

Maybe holding it in a little longer was better.

I felt two arms wrap around my neck and pull me in for a tight hug.

"I love you too, Alix. I love you so fucking much it hurts." He said with pauses in between to catch his breath.

I put my arms around his waist and pulled him up onto my lap.

I got the same feeling as when I woke up with him just a few days ago. Like he was the perfect match for me.

He backed away a bit and our gazes met.

I swear, there's no time when he doesn't look absolutely stunning to me.

His big turquoise eyes were flooded with tears. I took my thumbs and wiped away the ones that had already fallen.

"Why are you crying?" I asked with true concern in my voice.

"I-I'm just so happy that you love me back. I've been wanting to tell you for so long now, but I was so scared that you'd.." He started to cry into my chest.

I rubbed circles into his back to try to talk to calm him down some.

"It's okay, I understand completely." I said back to him.

I lifted his head up with my right hand and he was now looking into my eyes again.

He looked at my lips and back up into my eyes.

He sat up in my lap again and asked so quietly, I almost didn't hear him "Can I-"

I nodded before he could even finish.

We tilted our heads to where we wouldn't bump into each other when we went it.

We were now so close that I could feel his breath, warm against my lips.

I giggled a little and I felt his bottom lip grazed mine ever so slightly...
