Hey. Okay, I know this chapter is really, really short but hopefully the Kaia and Warren action in it will make up for the length. I kept it short because that's where I thought it would be a good place for the chapter to end. I promise to update soon and hopefully with a long chapter so that you aren't in suspense for too long.

Chapter 10

Warren's POV

I woke up and the events of yesterday washed over my memory. I went downstairs where my mom was sitting drinking coffee. I sat down at the table.

"I love Kaia," I declared. She didn't seem to hear me so I said it again.

"I love Kaia."

"What!" she shouted and then she laughed, "Finally you've realised that you two are perfect for each other. It took you long enough. So have you told her yet?"

"She's going out with someone else tonight. I had my chance, mom, and I blew it all those years ago. She had moved on by the time she came here. All she wants is to be friend. What am I going to do, Mom?" God, I must be desperate if I'm talking to my mother about girls. She became serious when I spoke.

"Warren, if you let Kaia go without a fight then that shows that you don't really care about her. You need to tell her." I nodded.

"You're right."

"Of course I am, I'm always right," she smiled.

"Thanks, Mom."

"Anytime." I went upstairs and called Kaia.

"Hello," she said.

"Hey, Kaia, it's Warren. Can you come over?"

"I'm a bit busy today Warren. I've kinda got a date today. Can I come over tom…" she asked impatiently.

"It's important," I interjected.

"Umm, okay. Is there something wrong?" she asked worriedly.

"No, everything's fine. I just really have to talk to you."

"Okay, I'll be there soon. Bye."

"Bye." I hung up.

Kaia's POV

That was weird. What was so important that Warren had to see me? I really was busy today. I had promised Layla that I would come over and watch 'An Inconvenient Truth' – a documentary about global warming with Al Gore in it. Then I had my date with Alex which I also had to get dressed nicely for. Hopefully, the talk with Warren would be quick. I had just woken up, so I showered, grabbed some breakfast and then teleported to Warren's house.

"Hey, Sarah. Where's Warren?"

"He's up in his room," she replied. I ran up the stairs and knocked on his door.

"Come in," he called. I went inside.

"Hey, what's up," I greeted uncertainly.

"Hi," he said, "There's something important I need to tell you."

"Okay. You're starting to scare me, Warren. Just tell me." He took a deep breath.

"Kaia, you know that you've always been my best friend but yesterday I realised that somewhere between all our laughs, long talks, stupid little fights and jokes, I fell in love with you." My throat constricted.

"What," I barely managed to say. This couldn't be happening.

"You heard me. I love you Kaia. Your smile, your look, your laugh, your hair, your clothes, your sarcasm and even the damn way you smell; I love it all." That's when he manoeuvred me to the wall and our lips met. He kissed me and I kissed him straight back. His hands tangled into my hair and my arms were around his neck. My lips parted and Warren deepened the kiss. I had no idea whether it was because I was kissing Warren or because he was a pyro but it was like my lips were on fire. But it felt so damn good. I moved my body closer to his, inhaling and tasting nothing but Warren.

"Wait a minute, what am I doing?" I screamed inside my head. I pulled away abruptly ending the kiss.

"I ca…can't do this," I stammered breathlessly, still caught up in the wild lust of that kiss.

"What do mean? Of course we can. I love you." Realisation dawned on me. This was just me being hopeful. I became angry.

"You don't love me," I shouted, "You just want me because you can't have me anymore. I can't believe you would do this." I turned and ran blindly. I rushed down the steps and heard him follow me. He spun me around.

"How can you say that? All I know is that for once in my screwed up life I don't have to work hard to be happy when I'm with you it just happens. Damit Kaia, I love you."

"Stop saying that," I shrieked, "Get away from me." I pushed him away from me and ran out of the house. He followed me out but I teleported away not caring where I was going. I just needed to be away from him.

I ended up in the park between mine and Layla's house. Black storms clouds were in the sky and there was thunder that rumbled menacingly. The air was humid and the park was devoid of people. It began to rain and the droplets slalomed over my face mixing with the tears that had begun to pour down my face. How could he hurt me like this? This was even worse than last time. I understood why he was so cruel then but this was so vicious for no reason. I was so confused. I let myself get soaked through and sat down on a bench, sobbing my broken little heart out.

"Kaia, is that you?" I heard a voice say. I looked up and saw Layla. I wiped a few tears from my face.

"Layla, I hate him," I wept.

"Come here," she said and I got up. I hugged her but got no comfort from her embrace. I pulled out of the hug and she was still holding my hands. I looked down at them and saw a grey bracelet hanging off my wrist.

"What the hell…" I said, confused. She ignored me and focussed on closing the bracelet's clasp.

"Fucking thing," she murmured. Hold on a minute, Layla never swore. She never even said 'damn'.

"Who are you," I accused just as she closed the bracelet. Suddenly needles stemmed from the bracelet and pierced my flesh. A liquid pumped into me and I felt an intense pain. I screamed as I familiar nausea came over me. I stumbled on to the floor. Help!

"Byrite," I managed to whisper before I blacked out completely.
