Maya

,,I'm such a mess... I'm sorry." I whispered pulling away from Dylan.

,,It's okay. I understand. I'm always here for you, you know. Even if I'm not physically you can always text or call and I'll be by your side immediately." He said, his hand gently rubbing my arm up and down.

,,Thanks... but why? Why do you care so much?" I whispered

,,How can I not? You're literally the nicest and kindest person ever. You've been through so much and you still manage to make people around you smile. I really admire that. And besides, I'm basically always with you these days and I guess I just started to care about you more than I should..." he trailed off.

,,What do you mean 'more than you should'?" I asked confused.

,,Nothing..." he mumbled.

,,Dylan."

,,What?"

,,Tell me."

,,I can't- I- sorry."

,,Okay" I sighed. ,,I thought you trusted me..?" I said. ,,Actually it's okay. I get it some thing you just have to keep to your self, I totally understand, I mean it's your privet thing after all I can't really know everything. In fact if I did-

I was cut off by Dylan pulling me closer to him and pressing his lips softly to mine. I was taken aback at first but for some reason I kissed back. It just felt so right but so strange at the same time, but like the good kind of strange... If that makes sense.

We pulled away from the kiss that was too short in my opinion. We just stood there in silence for what felt like hours but was actually seconds. He looked like he wasn't gonna say a word anytime soon so I decided to say something.

,,So... uh..." I mumbled. Wow nice choice of words Maya...

,,I... well..." Dylan stumbled over his own words now.

,,Oh god just please say something this is too awkward." He finally said making me laugh lightly. Even in the most awkward situation he still makes me laugh.

,,Uh well that was.... uh.. unexpected?" I said, unsure of what am I even supposed to say. Because I don't really know how I feel...

,,I'm sorry..." he said looking straight into my eyes. His expression was a mixture of concern, fear, curiosity and a lot of other things I can't really understand

,,Uh no it's okay." I just said. Where am I even going with this.

,,No it's not, I shouldn't have done that, it was a mistake." He said stepping further away from me.

,,Well I wouldn't say it was a mistake.... but it's okay seriously"

,,God I'm such an idiot." He whispered.

,,You're not an idiot." I rolled my eyes and smiled slightly. ,,I get it.. it was just.. uh... in the moment thing, right?" Oh god what the hell am I doing.

,,Yeah... in the moment thing..." he said sounding hurt.

You know that story about every person having their own guardian angel? Well I feel like mine just facepalmed so hard I might have felt it.

,,Okay then.... buddy... we should go get my sister and the dog and get going." I awkwardly patted his shoulder and walked past him to Callie's room.

'Buddy'? seriously? What is wrong with me

I walked up the stairs slowly, tripped and almost fell. I wasn't usually that clumsy, but I was still in a shock a bit so I couldn't handle even the smallest things. Like climbing up the stairs.
