Far or Near?

Part Thirty-seven

....... 

The air was silent, as if it knows that it wasn't a perfect time to make some noise. 

I've never actually thought of it. 

Never thought of Emma kissing another guy other than me. 

I guess we should expect the unexpected, right?

I wanted to rip him off of her immediately. 

But something stopped me.

They look so much better when they kiss. 

So much passion. 

So much love. 

And so much pain, in my part. 

She was kissing back. 

She looks like she wasn't pulling away soon. 

Neither did Ethan.

Yeah. 

But then they did. 

Their eyes were still closed. 

Foreheads pressed together.

Them, breathing the same air. 

a smile 

on 

their

lips.

But then they opened their eyes. 

Emma was the first one to react. 

"De-devan?" She squeaks out, eyes wide, panic evident on both their faces.

She was blushing. I always thought blusing looks cute. Maybe not anymore. 

"How long ha-have you been there?" Her voice cracks with fear. 

"Long enough to know." My voice monotone, as if trying to cover up the pain in my insides. 

"Devan, i-i'm sorry let me explain." Her voice was now shaky. 

Her eyes filled with tears. 

So was mine. 

. . .

"Devan, man, i-i was the one who kissed her. B-be mad at me," Ethan tried to cover up for her. 

I just blankly stared at them. 

Then my eyes went to Emma. 

"Did you ever love me?" 

It was a question i suddenly asked out of the blue. 

"Yes. Yes yes yes, of course, Devan! I-"

"Then why?"

My voiced cracked. 

The lump in my throat hurts. 

"Devan..." She's walking towards me. 

Her hands are now placed on my upper arms. 

"Devan, please, i-i was just caught in the moment-"

"No one kisses someone back if they didn't have feelings for them. And obviously neither of your are drunk." My words hurt her. 

I can see it in her face. 

Silence. 

"Tell me, Emma. Do you have feelings for Ethan?" 

"No Devan I swear I don't-"

"TELL ME THE TRUTH!" 

They were surprised about my burst. 

Even i was. 

I never burst.

I never get too angry to actually shout at someone unless if i was really angry.

Silence. 

Emma looked at Ethan. 

Then at me. 

Then again until her gaze stops at the floor boards instead. 

A pause. 

A deep shaky breath.

Six shaky words with an exhale;

"Yes.

I do have feelings for

Ethan."
