The Middle Man

Anarchy

I ran outside at the sight of the small fight.

"Kian!" I yelled, pulling him back. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"I'm so sorry Rosi." He said looking back at us both, shaking his head, and then running away.

"Drew, are you okay?" I asked helping him up.

"No, I feel like shit." He told me while wiping the dirt off of him.

"I'm sorry I don't know why he did that or why he even came today." I told him. I was really upset about this, how could Kian do something like that? He was acting out so terribly, I just wanted to know what his issue with Drew was.

"It's okay, let's just go I need to forget what just happened." He said reaching for my hand to lead me to his car.

Now I was thinking about it all, and I wished Mindy would've told me what Kian had said to her. It was killing me, making me anxious, it could explain why Kian has been acting different. Why did Kian do that to Drew, it angered me not knowing. I told myself that I needed to relax, watch an amazing movie, and spend time with an amazing guy.

And just when I was starting to calm down, I get a text.

From: Kiki

I'm sorry.

To: Kiki

Save it, that was ridiculous.

I put my phone down so that I could engage more with Drew.

"So what is the relationship between you and Kian?" He asked.

"Me and Kian?" I asked laughing "Don't worry, we are totally just friends, I have known him forever. And again, I'm really sorry for what he did to you. I have never seen him act like this"

"Oh okay, if I may suggest something, he might be jealous. I only say this because he told me that he uh- um- he said if I hurt you he would hurt me. Then I told him to back off, and that's when he pushed me." He said. It was clear to me that Drew didn't do anything wrong, and Kian was at fault here. I knew that sentence was missing something though. What did he say to both Mindy and Drew?

We arrived at the the theater and walked in hand-in-hand. We got our tickets for the newest horror movie and a small bag of popcorn before heading to the theater. Sitting down, he put up the middle arm rest and snuggled next to me as the lights went down.

"Are you ready?" He asked looking over at me.

"Ready for what, the movie?" I asked.

"No this" he said leaning in to kiss me. It was definitely nice, but he kept going. When I tried to pull away, because the movie was starting, he continued to kiss me almost like his lips were begging me to stay. I finally broke away.

"Wasn't ready for that." I said with a small laugh.

"Why did we part?" He asked frowning a little.

"The movie is starting, silly." I told him kissing on the cheek reassuring him that his kiss was nice.

"Okay." he responded.

We watched the movie and when a thrilling scene started to play out I tensed up and Drew responded by holding me closer. It was such a sweet gesture because then he wrapped his arm around the front of my waist, almost like a hug. It felt nice.

The ending scenes were even more horrific but luckily to distract me, he kissed me again. He kissed me slowly but it more shorter this time because we wanted to see how the movie would finish.

When it was all over, we walked out to Drew's car. When we were driving home, Drew asked me something.

"So Rosi I have something important to ask you. Would you want to be my girlfriend?" Drew said while pulling out a small heart necklace.

"I would love to be your girlfriend!" I said with complete shock. I went to take the necklace to examine it closer as well.

He didn't let me take right away, "but you have to promise to be only mine."

In that moment I could help but think, he couldn't be serious, right?

"Of course, if it's Kian that you're worried about, he isn't even in my thoughts." I said finally getting my hands on the gorgeous necklace. He gave me a small before I left his car to go inside.

I walked in my house to see Mindy sitting on the couch, and just wait it gets worse, with Kian next to her.

"What the hell are you two here for?" I asked. I was mad at Mindy for not being honest and I was mad at Kian for a few different things at the moment, obviously.

"We have to tell you something." Mindy said speaking up.

"What?"

"Listen, Rosi, I have some confusing feelings about you" Kian started.

"What are you telling me-" but he cut me off

"Rosi, I'm in love with you." he said. I didn't even know what to say, what to believe, or how to feel. My emotions were all mixed up but at the same time I felt nothing at all. Was this the big secret no one was telling me?

"Is that what you told Mindy AND Drew?" I asked. He responded with a nod.

I had no words. Nothing. Nothing came to thought therefore nothing was able to be said. I just turned away and walked straight up to my room to lie down.

-an hour later-

I'm laying on my bed, still completely dressed from the night out. I took notice of Kian's presence next to me, looking at something shiny. It was my necklace.

"Rosi, do you have something to tell me?" He asked.

"Kian, me and Drew are officially dating now."

Kian set down the necklace on my nightstand before getting up to leave. I couldn't just let him go, so I pulled him back to give him a hug.

"I'm sorry for all of this." I told him.

"Rosi don't. All I've done is confuse you, we are friends and I want you to be happy, with Drew." he then left, this time without me stopping him.
