The Secret II - Chapter 10

Opening night finally arrived. The play was going fantastic. It was almost at the end of the play and I was back stage, Kai came up to me. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah fine, why?" I asked.

"You look kinda tired."

"Oh, I'm more nervous than tired." I explained.

"You? Nervous? You're the last person I thought who would be nervous." He joked.

I laughed, "But not anymore."

I stood up and was ready for the next scene. Without noticing I hugged him. It was a quick hug, and it didn't mean anything, or at least I thought it meant nothing. But instead he said, "Whoa. What was that for?"

"I don't know." I laughed.

But he was serious, so I said again, "Remember yesterday, how I told you about something that I wanted."

He just looked at me weirdly.

So I continued, "Actually someone. And I just like to tell you that I don't hate you. In fact I couldn't get over us for a really long time."

"So you finally admit it." He laughed. "you still like me then?"

My face was burning, "Umm..."

"Well, I'm glad you did." He said.

"but I'm really really really sorry. Because this will ruin you and Becky. I know I should never have told you." I said it quickly.

"Becky? Becky and I aren't that serious anyways. To tell the truth, I only went out with her cause I tried to push you away from my head."

My mouth dropped wide open, "That's just so mean."

"Mean? And partly to get you jealous, too." He laughed again.

I was so angry, but also happy at the same time.

It was time for our last scene. I was very happy and finished the play off with a big smile on my face. After the show, back stage, everyone cheered for a successful night. Then our friends came back stage to celebrate with us. Robert, Oliver, Enrique, Johnny, Tyson, Max, Ray, Kenny, and Becky all arrived as well. Becky ran backstage and hugged and kissed Kai. While I was busy with the rest of them.

"You were so great, Kai." Becky squealed.

Kai pushed her away.

"And so were you, Kelly." Becky gave me a hug.

"Thanks."

"You two really heat up the show. I mean it really looked like you were in love." Becky exclaimed.

Kai and I exchanged looks. Then Tyson said, "Yeah."

"I'm going to meet up with my other friends, okay? I'll be back." Becky said. "Wanna come with me?"

Becky asked Kai, but he said no.

After she left, Max asked, "So does this mean you don't hate each other anymore?"

I laughed and said, "Nope."

Then something that I was totally unexpected happened. He came up behind me and kissed me from behind on the cheek.

"Whoo.. Did we miss something here?" Tyson yelled.

"Are you guys like.. Umm..."

"I'm not sure." I said.

Then I saw Becky walking this way, so I quickly let go of Kai's hands and stepped back.

That night I couldn't sleep. It was very late, but something kept me awake. I still couldn't believe that Kai and I made up. I mean it doesn't seem right, because I'm still hiding something very big. The more I thought about it, the more wrongly it gets.

Suddenly I heard a loud bang coming from another room. So I got up and opened my door to see what was going on. Then a couple of seconds later, I saw Becky in tears, angrily walking down the hallway with all her stuff. I tried to stop her, "Becky! What's wrong."

She finally stopped at the end of the hallways, and yelled, "I hope you're happy!"

I was confused, then I a horrible thought came into my head. Kai broke up with her because of me? I knew this would happen, and the only person I can blame is me!

I walked into Kai's room and saw him lying on the bed. He quickly sat up when he saw me appeared at the doorway. I asked, "What happened here?"

"She left."

"You told her, didn't you."

"Yeah, I did."

I was exhausted, "Why? Why would you do that? You broke her heart."

"The whole dating thing was a lie."

I sat down beside him and there was a long silence. Suddenly Becky walked back in, "Oh come on, would you be kind enough to let me leave first, then get back to your little dating thing?"

She was still in tears, she marched back in to get her purse. Then walked back out with anger in her eyes.
