Stay

Chapter 9

Kirstie's Point of View

"I love you, Kirstie."

I stood still. My hands fell from his and I just stared at him. I wanted to say so much! I wanted to leap into his arms and have him hold me forever. I wanted to kiss him and heave him carry me everywhere. I wanted to tell him I loved him too!

But I couldn't.

I was frozen.

Avi's Point of View

She didn't say anything and I felt my heart sink to my stomach. Her hands slipped from mine and I felt someone stabbed me in the stomach.

'I knew it.... why would anyone like her like anyone like me... gosh Avi you're so stupid sometimes!' I told myself.

We stood there just looking at each other. By this time I was sure that she didn't feel that way about me and my eyes started to burn.

"I'm sorry..." I whispered after lowering my head. "I shouldn't have..." I couldn't even finish my sentence. My voice was scratchy and I needed to go.

"A-Avi...." she choked out.

"No, no you don't have to say anything. I should have..." I was cutting off by her hand snatching mine, making me look at her.

"I... I...." she managed to say. She looked like she didn't know what to say. She tried to form words but none came out.

Right when I thought I should just run away, I felt her lips crash with mine.

Her hands held my face and I wrapped my arms around her waist. 'Is... is this actually...' I thought to myself. I felt her pull away and heard her say,

"I love you, too, you idiot!"

'Yep, it's happening!'

She was smiling cheek to cheek and her eyes were lit up like a little kid on Christmas day.

"Idiot?" I questioned, smiling right back at her.

"Like you didn't notice!" She stated.

"I literally thought you didn't like me..."

I bent down and kissed her once more.

"What was that for?" She giggled.

"To make sure you're actually here..." My smile faded a little as I said that thought out loud. She looked, blinked, and smiled. She leaned up and gave me a short little kiss. "What was that for?" I mimicked her.

"To make sure you meant it." I had no clue how that made any sense but I just went along with it.

I wrapped my arm around her and we continued to walk around the beach without a care in the world.

Scott's Point of View

"Aww!!!" I cried, "They kissed each other!! Oh and look! Look, Mitch!"

He and I were watching the whole entire Kavi scene from the water. It's about time they confessed!

"They're walking away! No! Come back! I'm not done fangirling yet!" Mitch yelled jokingly.

"Shh! You want them to see us?"

"They're practically asking for it! What, you think them going on a walk alone along the beach at sunset with the person they love wouldn't have any love scenes?"

I slapped him on is head playfully. He was so cute when he corrected me.

"We should probably start heading inside, it's gonna get real dark real soon." I pointed out. Mitch and Kevin nodded their heads and we made our way out of the water.

"HEY LOVEBIRDS? STOP SUCKING EACH OTHER'S FACES AND LETS GO EAT!" Mitch yelled. Avi and Kirstie stopped kissing and even though they were 20 feet away, I could see them blushing.

"Thank you," I said. They looked like they were gonna go all night.

"Don't mention it," he answered, giving me a smirk.

*Inside in the basement thinking of what to do*

Mitch's Point of View

"We could..." Kevin's words trailed off. We had no idea what to due that night.

"We could just go to bed..." Avi said rubbing his eyes.

"Oh we know why you like that option..." Kirstie joked, squeezing his hand.

For a couple that just got together, they were freaking annoying!

"Okay guys, I know I'm forever alone but you don't have to rub it in," I snapped.

I felt a hand on mine.

"You got me, Mitchie!" Scott said, obviously joking.

"Oh yeah, I forgot..." I sassed, taking another swig from my water bottle.

"I think little Mitchie needs a nap," he said in a baby voice.

"Yes he does... and daddy's gonna carry him," I held up my hands, giving his puppy eyes.

He picked me up bridal style and took me to my room.

He lied me down and tucked me in like a parent tucking in their child. He kissed me on the forehead before he headed towards the door.

"Wait!" I called out. I didn't even think about what I just did, I just, well, did it. Like something inside of me couldn't bare the thought of him leaving me again.

He turned around, looking like he didn't want to leave either.

"Can you... well... stay?"

He gave me a smile before climbing into bed with me. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer so my back was on his chest.

I could feel his chest rise and fall with every breath he took.

"Mitch..." he mumbled.

"Yeah?"

"I really love you..." and with that he fell asleep while I lied there, thinking about what he just said.

'I really love you....'
