I'm in too deep

Chapter 25: i depend on you

Kyara's pov:
Zach is still deadly silent and I'm debating if i should just run. I just told him I love him. So casually. It just came out but I meant it. "You- you love me?" He says softly. "Yes Zach I love you. I have for a little while but I never wanted to tell you until now that I just blurted it out. It's True though I do really love you." He stays silent for a while and just looks over the water as we sit in peace until he breaks it by saying: " I love you Kyara." He says it so purely, angelic almost. I look over at him and I can see he meant those words in his eyes. "I've loved you for a long time now actually. I just didn't want to say it because you were with Scott and I didn't want to give you any complications. But I do I truly love you." He stops out of breath he said that with his entire chest. He looks as if he's debating what to say next. "What now?" He looks out of his eyes and I can see they're full of questions. "I don't know." I look over at my notebook. "You want to write again?" He let's out a smal laugh. "Yeah sounds good." I start a lyric and Zach catches on that we're just freely brainstorming in the cold moonlight. "When you need me you just call me I'll be there. When you look over your shoulder I'll be there. You ain't ever gotta worry, cause I depend on you, I depend on you." He smiles and continues the song. "When you breath, a silent symphony. When you blink, you steal the sight from me. When we kiss, endless symmetry." "You don't gotta worry. I depend on you. I depend on you." I know that we're not just writing a song right now. We're communicating our feelings through musical dialogue. It's almost therapeutic to be with him like this. Just us. Two idiots who write music. I stare off in too the deep end and think about how this is going to work. After the camp is over I mean. It's only been 4 weeks but it feels like a lifetime. I wish it was. I've found myself again here. Almost more importantly I found Zach. I think about how we'll work when we're back in school as I lay my head in his lap. He starts playing with my hair as I feel the sun go down and myself drift off to sleep in his lap.

Zach's POV:
I have to think about what Kyara said for a minute. She loves me? Like she just told me she does but the idea seems so strange. After a little while I finally get some words out. "You- you love me?" I ask with a softer tone than I would've wanted. "Yes Zach, I love you. I have for a little while but I never wanted to tell you until now that I just blurted it out. It's true though I do really love you."
I let a silence rest between us but then break it by saying: "I love you, Kyara." She lifts her head to look at me. In her eyes I can see she's questioning my words so I try to make sure my eyes speak volumes. "I've loved you for a long time now actually. I just didn't want to say it because you were with Scott and I didn't want to give you any complications. But I do, I truly love you." When I finish that sentence a weight is lifted off of me. I almost didn't notice that I'm out of breath. When I get my breathing normal and the silence starts to set
"What now?" She breaks the silence. "I don't know." I tell her honestly. She sits for a second before speaking "You wanna write again?" I have to laugh at how that's the first thing she'd come up with. But I agree to it because it will help and it's what we do. "Yeah sounds good."
She starts singing and I catch on to where we're going with this.

I don't know what it is. But every time we write music. It's exillarating. I know the song is now our form of communication, I don't mind. It's easier that way. I go up in this completely. Watching the moonlight dance on her long dark hair as she sings the words full of love and passion. She looks away most of the time but sometimes she looks me right into the eyes. Like she's making sure we're on the Same page. Like she needs me to know it's not just a song anymore. But I already knew that. Because it's never been just a song. It's always been her and me. From the first time we wrote together. Until right now in this exact moment.

When we finish writing we just sit there in silence. It's not an uncomfortable one. We have said everything there is to be said. And we know it. We have each other. And in this exact moment that is enough. She lays her head in my lap and I start playing with her hair. And right now I know exactly why I love her so much. I'm at peace.
