HIDDEN (Hide Or Die)

Chapter 16

KYLE'S P.O.V

Life couldn't get any better than this, everything was finally falling into place.

I was able to convince mum not to break up with Sam and for the first time in my life, I was introduced to my mother's boyfriend. I now had friends, not just friends but very kind and nice ones, Becky and Albert were the best friends a guy could ever ask for (I could never tell if they saw me as a best friend material but I sure did see them as one.)

I finally had my first kiss, stolen as a matter of fact but it was the best thing that had ever happened to me in my entire existence; even though it got ruined by my overly sensitive ears it was still way more than I could ever have asked for in a million years and for that, I was extremely thankful.

I hid behind a tree and watched him stare into the woods. I couldn't stand it anymore, my heart felt like it was going to explode so I ran like a coward and hid in the woods. My morning had gone from zero to a hundred in a matter of minutes.

When I ran after him, I was hoping to find out the reason he hated me and the people around me but I ended up getting an answer to all my prayers " A Kiss."

Ahhh!! Kissing Andrew felt so unreal, it felt like magic. like I was walking on beautiful soft clouds. It was purely amazing!

My heart wouldn't stop pounding even up to the point I watched him get into the car with Matthew.

I couldn't go back to school not when my main attraction to school was already on his way home so I did the only sensible thing at that moment, I followed him home.

Making sure I kept taps on the car he was in, I took off my jacket, spread my wings and flew after them with the thick covering of the woods acting as an umbrella for me.

I could hear them, I didn't want to eavesdrop but I couldn't help it. Matthew looked angry when he picked up my Andrew so naturally, I really needed to know what was going on.

Andrew started apologizing but then suddenly Matt swerved to the side of the road in such a reckless manner I must say and I on the other hand, almost bumped into a tree out of shock. Before I could recover, he was already speaking so fast that I could almost barely comprehend.

It turned out, my Andrew was keeping some things away from Matthew and he wasn't too happy about it but the weirdest thing happened, Matthew decided to let it go.

I couldn't decide if it was a good sign or a bad one because the Matthew that I got to know from my observations of Andrew wasn't the kind of person to let things go so easily. Like I said before it was extremely weird.

Anyway, I got home, watched Andrew get into his house and I did the same. Mum wasn't home yet so I went up straight to my room, opened my window blinds a bit and just stared at his house like a creepy weirdo until he fell asleep. I could hear him snore lightly and it sounded so adorable.

I stepped away from the window a few minutes later and finally undressed, releasing my wings. I flapped a couple of times to expel some tension then I laid down on my bed and slipped into my thoughts.

In the midst of my thinking, I came to the acknowledgment that I was becoming too greedy when it came to Andrew but I also knew I could do nothing to stop it. I realized after the kiss, I had somehow developed during that short period of time a very strong urge to be near him at all times. I could feel it, I could feel it spreading all over me like a poison that had no remedy.

I couldn't take it anymore, I couldn't take the hoping and the longing to be with him anymore, it finally dawned on me that if I did nothing about it, I would slowly die and wither away, I couldn't let that happen, I had to do something and very fast.
