Chapter 91
"Whoah! Who is that?" I ask. He looks like he just came from hell.
"His name is Red, we like to call him Old Diablo. He led us to you," Kye says and I blink.
"Uhm, I don't remember seeing another dog around though," I say.
"He's always quiet in his house. Doesn't like disturbance," Kye informs me and I nod as I stare at the dog.
"Can I pet him?" I ask, although I doubt the dog would want to.
"Try your luck," Scott says and I look at him then I call the dog, he comes and stands in front of me and sniffs my arm, stares at me for a while and licks my arm. Then he walks away like nothing happened.
"Well, that was awkward, thanks though," I say and everyone laughs.
"He's not the affectionate kind like Axel, that's the best he can do. You're lucky, my first time meeting with Red, he peed on me," Scott says and Kye bursts out in laughter, I try to hide my smile.
"That, was a good one," Kye says.
An hour later, Roxy approaches me and clears her throat.
"Can we... Uhm, talk?" she asks.
"Sure," I say.
"Not here, let's go outside."
"I don't want to go outside," I begin panicking.
"Relax, we're not going too far, we can take Red with us if you wish," she says.
I sigh.
"Okay."
Then we walk out after Roxy calls Red. After ten minutes of walking, my heart begins beating so fast.
"Let's not go too far. Whatever it is, just tell me now, right here," I tell Roxy.
"Okay," she says. Red stops too and stands guard, very alert.
"I just wanted to let you know that I really don't like the idea of you being with Blake. He's caused you nothing but sadness both directly and indirectly. I care so much about you and I wouldn't want to end up losing you because of that psychopath, Sabrina. All of this started when you and Blake got together and Sabrina has been on your neck ever since. I hate to watch you lying in hospital beds helpless. I don't like it all," Roxy confesses.
"Roxy... I know I've hurt you so many times, but what do I do? I love him–"
"Are you sure?"
Roxy winces and closes her eyes for a while. She's saying the exact same thing Scott told me earlier and that coming from two people is not good news.
"You deserve better and you know that. You just have to look around you and realize how much other people care about you. We love you so much, Kyrah. You've always helped me and Vic and we are grateful but, let us help you now, by listening to what we say. You might say you love Blake, but I need you to do me one simple favor, please."
"What's that?" I ask, pursing my lips.
"Take some time alone and think. Think about every single thing, from the day you started talking to Blake till now. Think and when you find what you've been missing all this time, don't hesitate to let me know."
"Okay. I'll think about it... Promise."
She pulls me into a hug.
"I can't believe I almost lost you. I'm glad you're here. Safe... Let's go back before Scott starts to worry, you should have seen his face when he learned that you had disappeared. I've never seen him like that, scared, terrified even. He really cares about you," Roxy says as she looks deep into my eyes.
"I swear, I see it in his eyes every single time," I say as I look away.
"Then you should look deeper inside."
"What?" I ask.
"What?" she imitates me and we laugh on our way back.

Scott's POV
I'm busy watching something on my laptop, just to keep me distracted. But my thoughts keep interfering.
I remember her words from earlier, when she said she loved him. Never have I ever felt so disappointed in my life. It felt like her words were cutting through me.
She loves him. She loves him and there's nothing I can do about it.
I pause and stare at the ceiling of the living room and sigh.
This is getting more difficult day by day. I fall in love with her even more each day.
Yes, I love her! I love her so fucking much, it hurts! She's like a sweet melody that never stops playing. Watching her smile is like watching the sun rise, I get that tingly feeling in my stomach every time she smiles. Her eyes, oh her gorgeous eyes, are like the stars shining bright in the dark sky. Sometimes I feel like the whole world stops when she laughs. For all the things my hands have held, the best so far is only her.
All I want is to be with her, to hold her and love her like no one else could. It hurts as a bitch knowing that she still loves that moron, Blake.
It hurts that she hasn't yet noticed how much he's damaged her. Damn you Blake, damn you!
It hurts to think about not ever having her as mine, maybe I'm not the guy she's meant to fall in love with.
"Fuck!" I curse out loud forgetting I'm not alone in the living room.
"You okay?" Vic asks.
"Yeah." I lie and walk out of the room.
