23- complicated

 

"Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else
gets me frustrated. Life's like this. You, you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty. You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it." -Complicated (Avril Lavigne)

 

"I choked on the words I never said and drowned in the thoughts I never shared." Kyle exhales as he sits next to me, on the edge of the hospital bed. His hand shaking running over my cuts that are mixed with my scars from when I was hit.

"What?" I breath.

"I should have said things that I was too scared to say and I should have shared the thoughts that are me whole."

"Why do you say that, Ky?" I ask, shifting my body slightly, finding a comfortable spot to ease the pain.

Kyle takes my hand in his and sighs, "I should have told you, but I was already dating Janna and I don't want to see her heart broken." My heart speeds up, "Dan," I looks up from our hands and into my eyes, "I-I love you." Tears fill his eyes and my cheeks start to burn.

Even though it hurts badly, I lean up, taking Kyle in my arms, as tight as I can (which is pretty weak for my state right at the moment), and I place a small kiss on his cheek.

Pulling away and breaking the hug, I look back into his eyes, "I have always loved you, Ky." The sweet moment instantly flashes by as my body rings in pain, forcing me to lay back down, screaming.
