Chapter 118: Confession
Rory
"I- I don’t know." I admitted quietly before glancing up at Kenny who was rapping his fingers against the counter. He exhaled slowly as our eyes locked and then he let out a low chuckle.
"That’s funny because... I also don’t know as well." He revealed quietly and once again, I realized that we were utterly fucked.
I stopped slicing the vegetables and walked towards him to pause in front of him. His hand cupped my face and his thumb brushed over my chin, and a rush of feeling flooded my lungs as his eyes bored into mine.
"I don’t think I want to imagine him leaving our lives. I’m sorry." I whispered, my heart clenched tightly in my chest and my eyes filled up with tears. Kenny leaned down and kissed my eyelids before the tears could fall, and something familiar filled up his eyes as he spoke.
"It’s okay, don’t beat yourself up. I’ve also been feeling conflicted, because I don’t think I want him to leave either." He admitted quietly and my eyes widened in shock, which made him chuckle again before he combed my hair pot of my face.
"Does that make us bad people? Do you feel... sidelined or something?" I asked tentatively. That’s the last thing I’d want Kenny to feel. And if Kenny didn’t like Jason, then I was ready to send him away even though it would hurt.
Kenny shook his head. "No, doll. I never felt that way." He revealed and I exhaled again before slumping against his chest, suddenly feeling drained.
"What do you suggest we do? I haven’t the slightest idea, and I’m not even certain he’d ever want something serious with us, knowing how he used to be." I whispered softly as Kenny’s arms came around me.
"That means we really are fucked, aren’t we?" He snickered softly and I couldn’t agree more.
