We're just friends, Kairi Cosentino

Sad eyes

Nicolette pov
I watched as Kairi pulled Ava into a kiss. In an instant I felt my heart shatter. I can't be in the same room as them right now. I quickly stood up, running away from circle. I cursed myself when I felt warm tears running down my face. What the fuck is wrong with me. Am I seriously crying over Kairi?

I ran outside to get a breath of fresh air. I inhaled sharply, trying to regulate my breathing. I looked behind me when I heard the front door open.

I looked at Hector with saddened eyes. He looked at me sympathetically before pulling me into a hug. I wrapped my arms around him, enjoying his comfort. I smiled into the hug. This felt right. Hector made me happy. Once we pulled back he cupped both my cheeks in his hands. I gazed up at him, slightly smiling.

Before I knew it he leaned in and gently kissed me. I kissed him back passionately. Our lips went in sync perfectly, he was perfect. I couldn't help but smile into the kiss.

"What the hell!" I heard a familiar voice interrupt. I immediately pulled back from Hector. Kairi stood there with an emotionless expression. He looked so empty. And for some odd reason I felt my heart skip a beat at the sight of him. It was like my heart saddened seeing him.

At this point Kairi and I were just gazing at each other with sad eyes, we both felt the same. Being friends with someone for over five years, it's easy knowing how one another feel. And we both felt pretty empty.

We both seemed to snap out of our trance when Hector spoke.

"Kairi I think you should leave." Hector spoke firmly. Kairi looked at me with teary eyes then back at Hector. What hurt me even more was that he didn't even argue. He nodded his head, walking back inside.

Once he got inside both Hector and I stood there for a moment without exchanging words. It was just silent.

"Can you take me home." I spoke gently, trying to hold back my tears.

"Of course...lets go." He answered back with a condoling smile. I hated when people looked at me like that.

When we got to his car he politely opened to passenger door for me. I tried my best to smile at him. Who knew a simple smile took effort. Hector started up the car without speaking.

Once we started driving I sighed in exhaustion. Tonight was supposed to be fun. But fun hasn't been on my side lately...nothing really has. I just wish Ava wouldn't have ruined me and Kairi's friendship. It was all perfect before she came along.

I thought back to Kairi's saddened face. Even after how mad I am at him, I still love him with every ounce of me. I hated that he had that much control over me. I just wished I hadn't caught feelings for him in the first place. But sadly we don't get everything we want and wished don't come true.

Once we got to me house, Hector let me out of the car. He pulled me into a hug, letting me know everything will be alright. When we pulled back I gently kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you for taking me home, it means a lot." I said rubbing his shoulder.

"It's nothing, I'm sorry that you didn't get to enjoy yourself." He said grabbing ahold of my hands. I looked down at our conjoined hands with a frown. Kairi would always hold my hands like that.

"Its okay, I'll get over it tomorrow." I lied. There's no way I was going to feel better by overnight. I needed time.

"If you say so...I'll text you when I get home." He said letting go of my hands. I watched as he got back in his car and drove off. I tiredly walked back into my house.

I hardly remembered falling asleep that night but I'm pretty sure I cried myself asleep.
