Spies have secrets too. //Wattys 2016

Chapter 12

Kayla's P.O.V.

My eyes shot up.

I opened my mouth to say something but all that came was a breath of air.

I had never expected Tyler, of all people, to say he loved someone.

The fact that that someone was me just added to how crazy it all was.

His face dropped.

" I know, it's stupid. I'll go," he sighed.

He went to jump down from the roof and back into the school.

Rushing forward, I grabbed his arm.

He spun around.

" no Kayla, it's okay," he sighed.

" you didn't give me enough time to respond," I whispered.

He looked at me in surprise.

" what?" He asked.

" I love you too," I smiled shyly.

A bright, genuine smile lit up his face.

" really?" He exclaimed.

I nodded.

" I've liked you since we met when we were little kids," I admitted.

" that was a really long time ago," he pointed out.

" yeah, I know," I shrugged.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me so that my bad was against him.

Nuzzling into my neck, he let out a sigh.

I shivered as his warm breath made me realize that the summer air was a little chillier than normal.

" how long?" I heard through my daze.

Shaking my head a bit, I looked up at Tyler.

" huh?" I asked.

" how long did you like me?" He asked.

" I told you," I reminded him.

" yeah, I know but I feel like you hated me at one point. I'm sure of it," he stated, sounding almost ashamed.

" what no!" I argued, even though it was lie.

He somehow picked up on that.

" liar," he whispered.

I went to spin around but he held me tight.

" I-um-have no clue what you're talking about," I stuttered.

I mentally cursed myself.

Even he seemed surprised that I was lying so bad.

" I love you?" I tried.

" come on princess, admit it," he whispered.

" fine," I whispered back.

He raised an eyebrow.

" fine what," he pressed.

" there was a point that a may have disliked you a little,"

Another blatant lie.

He had crushed me.

He had taken my emotional wall and shattered it.

Not only had he brought me into our war, but also my friends.

The thought made me pull away from him.

" Kayla," he called hesitantly but I wouldn't let him see my tears, not this time.
