Now that the moment was actually before him, Kal quickly realized that he had no idea what to actually say. Demi had taken a spotlight and dragged out his flimsy reasoning in front of them for all to see. She was angry, she was sick of him, and she didn't seem to appreciate his little stunt earlier. The fire in her eyes was something else, something he hadn't thought he would not only be on the receiving end, but he [i]liked[/i] it. Why? It wasn't entertaining, but the fact that she was so mad made him feel like he still had her for some reason. Admittedly they never did get into many fights, but there was something about the way she spoke right now that made her positively irresistible.

And he knew that she still loved him, even after he crushed her.

Kal had let her get her questions out, his blue eyes focused on hers. Should he come out and say it? How would she take it? What if it was the straw that broke the camel's back? At least now he could live with getting some sort of attention from Demi, even if it was negative attention. And it wasn't like he hadn't said the whole truth; he was sure his Mother would faint if she found out her son was not just associated with someone who 'wasn't of his status' but completely head over heels, but that wasn't the whole of it, either. He unconsciously bit down on his lower lip, slowly shaking his head. He couldn't say it. He didn't want to say it.

Taking in a breath, his hand went up to cover his mouth, and Kal realized he was shaking. Crap, he needed to get a hold of himself. Taking a step back away from Demi, he tried to calm himself down. Kal looked back at her, lowering his hand slowly. "[color=springgreen]The way you see right through me is one of the things I love most about you,[/color]" His voice was quieter, calmer than usual, completely betraying his actions. "[color=springgreen]You've managed to keep yourself together, and even now I'm certain if you get the chance, you'd hex me and walk away without so much as batting an eye. There's so much I love about you from the way you speak to the way you move, I...there's not a chance in hell anyone could ever compete with you in my heart.[/color]" He admitted, taking in a breath. "[color=springgreen]I'm so in love with you that it hurts to know that my life has decided that I'm not allowed to get any semblance of happiness. That the one thing I wanted more than anything in the world is just out of my reach...and if I tell you why I'm terrified of the possibility that you won't be in my life anymore.[/color]"

For just a moment, silence followed, Kal's eyes searching Demi's. For the first time, he sincerely hoped Caleb's prediction came true. His left hand reached into his pocket and he opened his palm to show her. "[color=springgreen]But you're right. Time to cut the bullshit,[/color]" A thin, silver ring rested there, seemingly harmless. "[color=springgreen]Once I graduate, I'll be getting married.[/color]" He told Demi, staring right at her.
