Chapter One
Ray's P.O.V.
In the weeks proceeding Tala's funeral, Kai's emotional status seemed to be going back to normal. He was acting like his show-no-emotions self pretty much. The only thing missing was that he never made any acknowledgement that Tala ever existed.
I still wanted out of the romantic part of our relationship and to just be friends, and I decided, well, more like hoped, that he wouldn't have that bad of a reaction if I broke up with him. I wasn't expecting him to show any reaction at all, really. He didn't express feeling too often. But as I walked to his room one sunny day, I remembered all the times he opened up to me, even if it was just a little bit.
His door was, typically, closed. I gave it a knock and waited for a response. A few moments later, the door opened partially, revealing Kai.
"Yes?" he asked me expectedly.
"Um, Kai? There's something I need to tell you."
He stared at me, waiting for me to continue, showing no emotion.
I cleared my throat before continuing. "I…I want to end our romance. I think we should just be friends." We held eye contact, and I searched for emotion in those crimson depths.
"Why?" was the simple question, and it was just as void of feeling as his eyes.
"Well…I don't think we're meant to be together. But I still wanna be your friend."
Again, we held eye contact in a moment of silence. I was getting uncomfortable having him stare at me like that, but I forced myself to hold my gaze.
After a long wait, I said softly but meaningfully, "I'm sorry, Kai."
Another few noiseless moments passed between us, and he broke our eye contact by shutting the door.
I stared at the door, closed once again, wondering what was going through his mind. I hoped I had not hurt him, but I thought, 'I shouldn't worry about it. This is Kai we're talking about. But if I really did hurt him, I hope he will confide in someone. That brings me, once again, to "This is Kai we're talking about".'
Hilary's P.O.V.
If there was ever a silent and strong hottie on the planet, it was Kai. He's so serious and tough and dreamy…. I longed to be with him and have him hold me in those muscular arms.
But I knew of no way I could reach him, for when I spoke to him, he usually didn't respond, and when he did, I got tongue-tied. I thought that perhaps I could get to Kai through one of the Bladebreakers, and I decided on Ray.
I got the nerve up to go and talk to Ray, who I knew was in his room. Upon reaching my destination, I knocked on the closed door. Ray opened it and greeted me.
"Oh, hi Hil."
"Hi Ray. Um, could you do me a favor?"
"Sure."
"Well…" I trailed off, but what exactly was I supposed to say?
"What is it?"
I looked down at the floor. "Well, it's Kai. I know you're probably the best friend he's got, now with Tala being dead, and, well, I was wondering…. It's just, I want to…be with him. I want him to…be my boyfriend."
"What?"
Ray sounded shocked, and it made me look up. I ignored the surprise and continued so I could get it over with, because if I had stopped, I don't know if I would have ever been able to start again.
"So, could you, maybe, talk to him about it? I know you must think I'm chicken, not asking him myself, but I'm just too afraid."
Ray stared at me for a few moments, a shocked expression on his face.
"Why do you look like that?"
"Huh? Like what? Er, sure, Hil, I'll talk to Kai for you."
"Really?" My happiness definitely showed in my voice as I forgot Ray's shocked look. "Oh, thanks so much, Ray! I owe you big-time!" I hugged him and happily walked off.
Ray's P.O.V.
'Oh, great. This is just great. Totally freakin' great. I broke up with Kai not but a half hour ago and now I have to go tell him that Hilary has a crush on him! How the hell am I supposed to do that? Unless Kai is bisexual, this is not going to help anyone's life!'
"Damn it!" I said under my breath.
