Watching the nightmare come true

"Lets go to the lake." said Ian with a smile thinking that would be the best place for her right now since he knew she liked it a lot.

"Ok to the lake." Kacey said agreeing. After all it was the first place she had met Ian and that was her favorite place to be out of all the places she had been here so far.

Ian walked alogn with Kacey down a few paths until they were both standing a few feet away from the lake of the shore. ian foudn the spot where they had met and led Kacey over to it and sat down.

"Do you remember that day? The day I met you? It was night and I couldn’t sleep because I was having that nightmare again. You could see the moon in the sky so clearly that night. And I wasn’t really saying much when I first met you." Kacey said, thinking about that day.

Ian smiled, "Yes I remember that night, its like engraved into my memory." he said with a smile.

"Yeah I know. You’re the first person I ever really cared about you know that right?" Kacey said looking up to the sky hoping to see the very same clear moon she had once before.

Ian smiled, "No one has really cared about me before." said Ian, "Except my grandfather, but that's different.." Ian said, "You were the first person I met here, and the first person who even slightly cared about me." he said "I love you Kacey." he said. He knew she still had a boyfriend, but it didn;t matter to him, he still loved her anyway, and respected the fact that she ha da boyfriend. he wasn't goign to try to change that, but he wanted her to know how he felt.

Kacey looked at him, the words ringed in her head for a long moment. "You what?" She said hoping she heard right. She wanted to say the words back to him, she needed to say the word back to him but she just couldn’t. Kacey was to afraid of getting hurt, he had scared her once and if anything really did happen she would be hurt more if she said those words to him.

Told you that you shouldn't have said it you idiot. ian thoguht to himself, "I said I love you." said Ian as he bit the inside of his lower lip.

Kacey was still a bit shocked he said that to her. But she smiled shortly afterwards anyway, "I love you too." Kacey said back to him before a long pause, "As a friend." She added.
