Future Rejection

Chapter 4 - Hopeful Thinking

KYLE'S P.O.V:

"Byeeeeee" I said
"Bye, Kyle! Talk again sometime?"
"Of course!" I promised, and this time I'll keep it!
I checked the time on my watch. 9pm? That meant that it was 3am in Britain. Why on earth would he stay up that long to Skype with me? Maybe he...?
No.
I can't like him, he clearly didn't like me like that. Why did I always do this to myself? I crushed on straight guys, thinking that they would turn gay for me or something?
I knew if I thought about Conor as more than a friend I'd only put myself through more torture than before. So I pushed it to the back of my mind. I would see him in a couple of day there was no point in worrying about something that would never be a reality. I sat on my huge sofa and cried myself to sleep. My last thought was of how much I missed him.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

I whacked my alarm off the bedside table with a slightly aggressive manner. I didn't want to wake up this morning but I had fans to meet today and I didn't want to be late!
I took a quick shower and spent more time picking out my outfit than usual. After a few minutes of hair styling, my producer messaged me where I would be meeting my specially selected fans.

Brittany: Meet ur fans at "the cookie dough ice cream palace" in 30 mins!
Kyle: What! But it takes 20 minutes just to drive there! x
Brittany: Better hurry up then!
Kyle: Kill me now... x
Brittany: Haha 😛

I quickly brushed my hair once more before walking over to the apartment door and locking it behind me. I realised I'd forgotten my car keys so I went back for those. I ran down the stairs as fast as I could and jumped into the car.
I raced down the road and parked surprisingly efficiently outside the ice cream palace. I opened the door  and there was nobody else except a screaming 14 year old girl.

"OMG HEY KYLE! "
"Hey gurl Hey!  What's your name?"
"My name is Pippa" the girl said shyly as she realized where she was.
"No need to  be all shy now,  I used to have a friend at school called Pippa"
"Really? "
"Yeah, really. She was a funny girl"
"Cool"

There was silence as I tried to think of something to re-start the conversation.

"So, who is it? " she said,  leaning in and lowering her voice slightly but still talking in an exited tone.
"What?" I asked, shocked she had figured it out so easily.
"Oh, don't play fun Kyle" giggling in a high pitched voice "Everyone knows you're bad at hiding your emotions, and this is your love mood. Now spill."
"I'm not in love" I said rolling my  eyes and trying to contain a girly giggle myself. It was true. I wasn't in love. It was only a crush.
"Whatever, just tell me! " she said, bouncing up and down now.
"Fine,  just don't spread it"
"Okay, I promise"
"It's... umm..." I don't know why I was so hesitant to tell her,  I guess it was because they were real feelings.
"It's-"
I was cut off as the waitress came to take our orders for the ice cream. I wakes for the waitress to leave before turning back to Pippa.
"Tell me tell me tell me tell me! " She clamoured insistently.
"Okay"
She stared at me,  waiting.
"It's"
"Yes? "
"Erm"
"Come on Kyle! "
"It's, Umm,  Conor"

Her face lit up.
"You mean that British YouTuber you used to go to school with?"
"That's the one"
"OMG!  You two would be adorable! "

I know we would, but he doesn't love me. He never will. I had no chance with him.

Unless...

The wedding was only 9 months away...

I know nothing really happened but I needed something to show Kyles feelings too. Hope you liked it anyway xxxxx
