Kayla walked angrily into the kitchen behind Ike. This was it. She was sick of his "I need to talk to you" cack. She was sick of all this tension between Charlie and him over nothing. And it really was over nothing. This had been going on since Charlie arrived, actually before he arrived. She was sick of it. Getting a spoon and pulling the fridge open and grabbing the jar of nutella she started to dig in.

"Kayla you hate nutella straight"

Kayla looked up at him.

"No Ike, you are wrong, I like it straight when I am frustrated, angry and need a sugar burst."

Silence

"Well, Ike, you have taken me away from the hustle and busy of the movie watching to talk and you dont say anything? I am getting sick of this."

"Kayla.."

"No please, dont Kayla.." me. I'm not stupid. You know that. Tell me what is wrong. We have been having these random discussions for what..a month now. I want to know what it wrong, I want to know why there is all this tension between you and Charlie. And I would preferably like to know now."

"This isnt easy for me."

"Do you think it's easy for me?"

"No, Sorry. Look Kayla I'm not used to having someone else that wants to share your time. I dont know what to do. I mean he is a nice guy, but he seems to be spending more time with you than me. I dont know. And then he's your flat mate? What is with that? I dont know. I am confused."

He looked up to see Kayla glaring at him. She shook her head at him and then walked out the door. Ike stood rooted to the spot for a second and then ran after her.

She was sitting on the porch. Staring at nothing. This was not good.

"Kayla?"

"What?"

"I dont know what to say."

"Yeah, you have already said it."

"Geez..I dont know what to do."

He sat down next to her, but not close. Silence.

"God Ike I never though it would end like this."

Ike's eyes grew wider end? "..I mean we are such good friends but what you just said made me realise so much." She turned to look at him, "Ike if you cant trust me, If you cant see that I have changed, I have grown and that I can take care of myself then we cant go on like this. I need my independence, I always have and you know that, but I also need trust. Keryn and Tay have it now and their lives are so much easier. I just cant go on walking on egg shells, you know I love you but you also have to accept that Charlie and I are mates..and thats all."

"So what does this all mean?"

"It means Ike, we need a break. And I'm sorry but I dont know any other ways to sort this, we need to see what we both really want."

The looked at each other for a few seconds, before Kayla got up with her nutella to walk back into the house.

"I love you Kayla."

"I love you too Ike."

And with that the door shut and Ike's head sank into his arms.
