kaz_skylar (I only know your wattpad username but I still wanted to give a shout out to you! )
And I'd like give a special thank you to MelbieZ, I really loved your comment! It made me happy :D.
Skylar entered the rec room and saw Kaz sitting on the couch with an ice pack on his eye.
"Kaz, how's your eye?" asked Skylar sitting next to him and rubbing his arm.
"Um, it's a little blurry but I have a major headache!" he said holding his forehead.
"I can't believe Oliver did that!" Skylar said angrily.
"Yeah it surprised me too…but to be fair I started it." Replied Kaz not understanding what was happening to his best friend.
"Don't defend him! You shoved him because he yanked me by the arm! And there's a difference between shoving and punching!" ranted Skylar.
"Maybe but still, don't be too hard on him. Something's definitely going on, he is not acting like himself at all. Do you know anything about that?" he asked aware that she did know something since she cried twice after talking to Oliver the day before.
"Um no, not really." she said trying to put on a poker face but Kaz knew better.
"Skylar, I saw you cry twice after you talked to him yesterday…what was that all about then if it's not related?" He resonated with her.
Skylar knew she had to tell him something but she did not want him to know everything like her feelings for him.
"Okay, let's just say that I told him I didn't like him like he likes me and he didn't take it so well." She decided to confess.
"Oh…so it wasn't about him?" Kaz wondered out loud thinking about the poem.
"What?" asked Skylar not understanding what he was talking about.
"Never mind. Wait, if you told Oliver you didn't like him like that…what did you agree to go on a date with him?" asked Kaz suspicious. 'There's something she's not telling me.' He thought.
"Um…" started Skylar not knowing what to answer. 'What did I get myself into?' She thought. "Because I agreed to give him a chance nonetheless." She continued relieved that she thought of a clever response. And technically it was true! " But clearly that was a mistake!" she added still mad at the boy.
"Hey don't say that." Softly answered Kaz. Sure he didn't recognize his best friend anymore and sure it killed him to think of Skylar dating any guy but he knew Oliver would take care of her and love her like she deserved.
"Oliver's a good guy. I don't know what's happening right now or why but he still is one of the best man you could ever be with Sky…and what I want more than anything is to see my two best friends happy. Maybe being together would make you happy. Now I don't know who your poem was about but I'm sure Oliver is a much better choice."
Skylar looked at him blankly. The handsome man she loved just told her indirectly that his best friend would be a better choice for her than him. How weird can it get? For a moment she wanted to scream her secret, to tell him there would never be anyone above him for her. And maybe…maybe if she was bold enough she'd reach out for his hand and lean in slowly for the greatest kiss of her life.
But no, all she did was nod briefly before saying a small 'maybe'.
"You should go find him. I'm sure he feels guilty about what happened." Said Kaz before getting up and heading out the rec room still a little dizzy.
…
Oliver was still standing in the same spot not able to chase away his thoughts. 'I don't wanna be a bad person, I hate who I'm becoming, I hate who I've been these last few days.' Then, he saw his best friend walking in the room still holding an ice pack to his face. He did that! He was the one who hurt his dearest friend. How could he ever forgive himself? He would start by apologizing.
"Kaz…Kaz I'm so sorry, you have no idea!" he said walking towards him fearing his reaction.
"Look Oliver." Said Kaz sighing. " I don't know what's going on with you but I know that it's not normal. I know you usually would never purposely hurt me…so if you really want to apologize, maybe you should start by telling me the truth. What's going on?"
Oliver thought for a moment and he realized it was about time he came clean.
"I'm sorry. What happened is that I got jealous." he started but he did not want to reveal Skylar's secret, that was hers to tell…well once he would tell her he lied about Kaz's feelings. He didn't know how Kaz felt about her but he wouldn't be the one to stand in the way anymore.
"I got jealous because I saw how you and Skylar got along so well. I wanted her to give all that attention to me but I forgot that what's truly important is both your happiness and not mine."
Kaz stood there for a moment not saying anything, just raising his eyebrow that was not damaged.
"You got jealous over our friendship? That's ridiculous, you guys have a great friendship too. Shouldn't you be more jealous of her secret poem guy?" Kaz asked who was himself haunted by that.
"You…you know what…talk to Skylar. You'll figure it out eventually." Oliver replied.
Speaking of the brunette, she entered the room at that moment.
"Did you guys make up?" she asked nervous.
"Yeah, yeah we did!" answered Oliver finally relieved.
"Yep, so I guess there's no reason for you two to not go on that date eh?" said Kaz trying to push Skylar into the arms of someone he knew would be great for her. He did not even want to think about the poem guy who just sounded like trouble.
"Um, you don't have to Skylar." Said Oliver shocked and uneasy.
Skylar was unsure but looking at Kaz who nodded to encourage her, she decided that maybe it was what she should do. 'Oliver is a great guy after all EVEN THOUGH I'm still angry at him for hurting Kaz's beautiful face. But if Kaz forgave him, so should I!' she thought making up her mind.
"No, it's fine." she said before offering her arm to Oliver who gladly took it, happy that she was still willing to give him a chance. For a moment he almost forgot about the lie he told her. For a moment everything seemed to be alright with the world.
Little did he know two souls were crushed the moment he walked out the doors of Mighty Med with Skylar as she turned to look at Kaz with sorrow. 'This is for the best' Kaz thought trying to convince himself even though he never had been a persuasive person.
Twist!
I hope you liked it!
