(Mikayla's point of view)

After Brady sang I couldn't take any more so I ran. I could hear footsteps behind me, but I didn't stop or look back.

My vision blurred by tears. I couldn't see where I going and I tripped over a rock. I fell face first into sand. I remeber my name being called then I blacked out.

I'm slowly coming to terms. I feel my head being elevated by what or who I don't know.

"Mikayla?"

"Come on Mikayla. Wake up." I hear a male voice say, but I don't know who it is.

I slowly open my eyes to see Brady. I sit up, but I have this horrible headache. "Mikayla, Don't ever scare me like that ever again." He says sternly. We sit in silence for a few minutes. Then Brady asks.

"What's going on with you lately?"

"W-What do you mean?" I stuttered.

Brady shook his head sighed then said.

"You've been acting different since Devon got here."

"No, I haven't." I said my voice growing quieter.

And it only does it when I'm lying, but only Daddy knows that. The truth is that I knew I was acting differently, but I was hoping nobody was noticing. It seemed to be that way until Brady called me out.

"Oh really, then why are you lying?" He asked me pulling me away from my thoughts.

"I'm not lying Brady." My voice growing even quieter.

"Then why-He pointed a finger at me-is your voice growing quieter?" He asked.

I looked down I couldn't say anything to that.

How does he know that?

Then as if reading my thoughts he said.

"I've known you for a year Mikayla."

(Brady's point of view)

"So what's really going on with you?" I asked Mikayla.

"Nothing." Her voice barely audible.

Then she got up and started walking away, but I held her there with my hand.

"Your, not going any where till you tell me the truth." I said as I tighten my grip on her hand. She sighed and sat back down

This is a good sign

"You." She said after a while.

"Huh?" I asked clearly confused.

"You are what is wrong." She said.

"I still don't understand." I said my brows coming together.

"You and Devon. Since she has come here you've barely paid or spent time with me!" She shouted at me.

(Mikayla's point of view)

I clamped a hand over my mouth.

Did I really just say that?I averted my eyes downward not wanting to make eye contact with Brady.

"Mikayla look at me." Brady said.

When I didn't move he moved a hand to my face and lifted it so I was eye level with him.

"Mikayla tell me the truth, Are you jealous?" He asked.

I just nodded my head.

"Do you like me as a friend or more?" He asked again.

"More." I answered.

His hand dropped from my face and I thought he was going to walk away, but he grabbed my waist, pulled me closer and kissed me.

It was a short kiss, but it sent shocks down my spine.

"Why didn't you say something before?" He asked after he pulled away.

"I was afraid that you'd reject me." I admitted.

That is what I was really afraid of. Not of liking Brady, because I always knew I liked him. Not of Devon, I was afraid of being rejected.

"Why would I reject you, I've liked you since I got here." Brady told me then he grabbed my hand.

"Come on we better get back before the others start worrying." He said pulling me along.

(3 days later)

Today we are seeing Devon off. Brady of course is going with her, but this time I'm okay with it, because I trust Brady…

And That's it!
