-----------------

I was absolutely devastated when Maya rang me to say the Mia had been murdered. She may have paid more attention to Maya than me, but she was still my sister and I loved her as such. I took a train to the city to see Maya as I knew she was still upset about it.

I made my way to the now named 'Wright and Co Law Offices', and knocked on the door. It was soon opened by Maya, "(Y/n)! It's so good to see you!" she shouted hugging me. "Good to see you too Maya! How have you been?"

"Good, just, Mia," she spoke sadly.

"I know Maya, I know. That's why I came, to make sure you were ok."

"Maya! Who's at the-Oh hi (Y/n)."

"Hi Nick," I replied waving, a slight blush appearing on my face.

"You know it's actually good you're here. I want to talk to you," Nick spoke, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Oh really? Well on you go then."

"I meant without Maya."

"Nick! Usually I'd ask why, but I know what this is about so.. Imma go get some burgers! Bye!" Maya shouted leaving the office.

"So, Nick, what did you want to talk about?" I asked.

"You're sister talked a lot about you, you know."

"I know. Maya shouts a lot."

"No, I meant Mia. She thought you were awesome," he replied sitting on the sofa. I followed suite, sitting next to him, "Really? Mia though I was awesome?"

"Definitely!"

"How?"

"Well,"he spoke repositioning himself on the sofa, "She said: 'There's nothing like your smile sort of subtle and perfect and real.' She said: 'You never knew how wonderful that smile make someone feel.'" I felt my face heat up as he continued, "And she knew whenever you get bored you scribble stars on the cuffs of your jeans and she noticed that you still fill out the quizzes that they put in those teen magazines." I felt my face go even redder, "But she kept it all inside her head, what she saw she left unsaid and though she wanted to, she couldn't talk to you, she couldn't find the way but she would always say: 'If I could tell her, tell her everything I see. If I could tell her how she's everything to me but we're a million worlds apart and I don't know how I would even start. If I could tell her. If I could tell her'"

I smiled, "Did she say anything else?"

I saw him tense up, "A-About you?"

"Never mind, I don't really care anyway," I said waving my hands in front of me.

"No, no, no.. just, no, no.. she said.. he said so many things, I'm just.. I'm trying to remember the best ones. So, um.. she thought you looked really pretty, er.. It looked pretty cool when you put indigo streaks in your hair," he said pulling a photo out from his pocket.

"She did?"

"And she wondered how you learned to dance like all the rest of the world isn't there, but she kept it all inside her head, what she saw she left unsaid. 'If I could tell her, tell her everything I see. If I could tell her how she's everything to me'."

"But we're a million worlds apart."

"And I don't know how I would even start. If I could tell her. If I could tell her, but what do you do when there's this great divide?"

"She just seemed so far away."

"And what do you do when the distance is too wide?"

"It's like I don't know anything."

"And how do you say, 'I love you'? I love you, I love you, I love you. But we're a million worlds apart and I don't know how I would even start. 'If I could tell her, if I could."

"Did Mia really say all those things Nick? Or are you just making it up to make me feel better?"

"Umm, well," he stuttered, his face heating up, "Ok, fine. She didn't but, it's what," he paused and took a deep breath, "it's what i think of you."

I was shocked, "You mean everything? Even the 'I love you' part?"

"Yes, yes I do," he answered rubbing the back of his neck and his face getting redder. I giggled, "Nick I think there's a better place for your hand," I said, removing his hand from his neck and placing both of them round my waist. I leaned into him and kissed him, wrapping my arms round his neck, "I love you too."
