As the name left my lips I wish I could take it back. My mind reels at scene in front of me. Why is he here? What is going on? I take a step forward and shut the door behind me. I breathe in deeply and walk into the room. We all stare at each other for a few seconds. I try to process what I'm seeing but I can't.
"You look great this evening though I prefer you less dressed up." Mihael speaks first.
"Wh-" I pull myself together, "What are you doing her?"
"What does it look like? I'm here for you."
"Nate what is he doing here?" I ask.
"He's here for you. He refused to leave." Nate says shyly.
"It's been too long Kaylee." He says as he walks toward me. He is the same I think. He looks the same. His hair falls messily over his green eyes that study me intently. He has the same strange sense of fashion; I admired him for that. He is shorter than Nate I note, even though he does overpower him. "Kaylee Miller, or should I say Kaylee Greg," That name causes anger to flash across my face.
"Don't call me that!"
"You don't go by that name anymore. That is why it took me so long to find you."
"Why are you here? Why were you trying to find me?"
He steps closer to me. He's close enough that I can feel his breath when he speaks, "Isn't it obvious? I came all this way to find you. I missed you Kaylee." His face softens and my head spins. I want to throw myself at him and hold him but I also want to slap him. Emotions whirl through me; regret, lust, hate, love, fear, happiness, sadness, guilt. My eyes fill with tears but I hold them back. "It was to my surprise to find this twerp here." He gestures to Nate.
"Hey!" I snap, "You can't just come in here and screw everything up! Don't you see that I've got my life back together?" I break down.
"Mello I think it is time for you to leave." Nate says.
"Wait you know him?" I ask Nate.
He nods, "Quite well actually. I want him to leave just as much as you do."
"Maybe I don't want him to leave!" I blurt out.
After a second of shocked glances Mihael says, "I knew you couldn't give up on me that easily. You never were that type of girl."
"What type of girl?" I yell.
"The type of girl to give up that easily. Do you remember the first time we met?"
Of course I do. I was in an ally in New York City. I had been drinking away my problems that night but they hadn't disappeared. I sat in the ally alone and cried. I remember it all too vividly. A man on a motorcycle was passing when he saw me. He got off his bike and walked over to me.
"What's a girl like you doing out here all alone?" He asked.
"I don't know." I sobbed.
"Why don't we get you home?"
"Ok sure." I sniffled and attempted to get up. I was wobbly on my feet and could hardly stand so he put his arm around me.
"Let's get you out of here."
"I remember." I sigh. "How could I forget?"
"Tell me Kaylee, how'd you end up with Near?"
"Near?" I question.
"He hasn't told you yet?!" An amused smile flashes across his face.
"Told me what?"
"Think about it, I know him and he has secrets. What do you think those secrets are?"
"Nate, what haven't you told me?" I ask.
He starts to speak but Mihael cuts him off, "Secrets are demons Kaylee." That line bounces around in my mind. That's what Mihael told me after he told me everything. I know all of his secrets and he knows all of mine. I know about his past. I know about the Kira case, I know about the Wammy House, I know about the mafia; I know it all. That means Nate is Near which means he was there too. My mind spins.
"You understand now." Mihael states.
"I do. So if Nate is Near…" I drift off.
"I can't believe he never told you."
"You never told me." I look over at Nate. I'm holding back tears as I look at his face. He looks scared and guilty. "Why didn't you tell me?" I whisper.
"How can you trust him when he has so many secrets?" Mihael says.
"I can't handle this!" I burst. "Both of you, get the hell out of my apartment!" I push them both out the door before slamming it shut and falling to my knees to cry.
Outside of the door Nate stares at Mihael. How could that all of just happened, he thinks.
"Why?" Nate simply asks.
"Why what?" Mihael snaps.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm here because I made a horrible mistake. I let an amazing girl go and I need to change that. I want her back and Near, you may be first at everything but this is one thing I can't and I won't lose to you."
AN: I'm thinking of making the next chapter a bunch of flash backs of Kaylee and Mihael to tell that story. What do you guys think? Ps. Clearly you can tell why I left this AN at the bottom ~CaitCait12
