Chapter one hundred thirty-two: "Crazy In Love"

Cloud's POV

We have boarded the bus 3 hours ago, The twins, my brother's, Angel's friends and my mother came with me on this ride
Just 2 more hours

He hired a bus driver and rented a while bus for ourselves

"Now remember dude, you should wait until tomorrow to meet her" Nick told me as he ate an apple slice

I stopped petting the bunny who was sleeping on my bag that was resting on my lap "Why? I wanted to see her"
It's only logical that I would want to see her once I reach the station

Nikki looked down at her phone "Wyett informed me that she is going to have a performance tomorrow, if you appear in front of her now it would only distract her"
I guess that's true

My phone buzzed with a notification from Yara, she sent me the price of the dress and Angel's hair in a low bun. The photo of her has her in front of a white piano with tired eyes

"Send her to sleep, Angel tends to be cranky if she doesn't have her right amount of sleep" I messaged Yara

She replied to me "Roger that"

I ordered Wyett this morning to inform Angel's friends of everything because I needed their cooperation too, they're the only ones I can rely on watching over her

"Hey Cloud" Will called me from his seat

"What's the plan?" Alice asked me

I held Bun-bun gently to show them "We use Bun-bun as our bait"

Ever since Angel told me that she likes bunnies I asked her sisters if she ever has a history of liking them, it was before they stopped talking to me. Wendy told me when she sees a bunny she can't control herself and would constantly pet and feed them

Everybody looked at me with pure confusion written all over their faces "A bunny?"

Benjamin looked up at Mom "Mom I think Cloud is crazy"

"Yeah crazy in love that is" Dustin teased me and everybody gave me a smug face including Mom and Benjamin

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We finally arrived at the bus station. Yara, Peter, and Daisy's friends along with Wyett all waited for us

Wyett stepped forward to greet me "It's good to see you, sir"
He may be older than me but I did hire him, I still give him the same respect I give to people older than me

Daisy glared at me "I swear if Penelope wasn't here I would have punched you right now from how you treated her" the guy and girl behind her was trying to hold her back from getting close to me

Nick popped out right behind me and looked at the two "You guys are?"

The girl's eyes widened, she was so in shock that she wasn't speaking so the guy beside her spoke on her behalf "I'm Max and this is my sister, Mira"

Nikki gave out her hand to shake Mira "I'm Nikki"

"We know!" They both chimed excitedly

Yara sighed "If you didn't threaten me you wouldn't be here today, I feel like I betrayed Penelope" she crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks

Once I found out that Peter and Yara were the people who also knew where Angel's location was, I threatened Yara that if she doesn't give me Angel's exact location I would ask every book store and the authors to ban her from reading all of their Ero-romance novels and that she isn't allowed to buy books in their shop

That threat worked and she didn't hesitate to give me where her location was, I gave both of them a request that they should not leave Angel's side until I arrive

Now that everyone is here I told them what they will do tomorrow, I ordered Wyett before that he should pretend that Mira told him about Angel's identity so he could get close to her and she will have to open up without living in her fake name

"I get that you want to get her back but can you at least say which hotel we are staying for tonight" I turned my head to see that it was Liam who complained to me

"We're all tired you see, unlike you, we want to sleep" Noah added, all of their eyes saying that they wanted to sleep

The 2 vans that we rented out came to the front of the station and we all boarded in, I helped out in carrying the bags, and onwards we went to the hotel

It was the festival and that Elliot fucker's concert so all of the hotels here were all booked, luckily we used our family's connections and we were able to find a place that can accommodate us all

When we finally reached the hotel all of us are now getting ready to sleep
Except for me

Without Angel beside me, I couldn't get even a good night's rest. The only sleep I could muster up only lasted 1 or 2 hours

"So is she sleeping already?" I asked him as I put down Bun-bun down, I just used the name Bun-bun as a temporary name since Angel will be the one who will name the bunny properly
If there is one fact about me, I'm bad at naming things

Even my own family agrees with me when I say I suck in naming pets

Wyett nodded "She slept at 11:54 PM after her piano practice"
Good she's gonna need a lot of energy tomorrow

A small smile crept up on my face

I'll be able to see her perform

"Did that guy try to make a move on her?"
With me out of the picture I know he will try having her all by himself

If he wasn't such a sore loser back when we were little then maybe this all could've been avoided, I won that deal fair and square, and yet he still won't admit it

He hesitantly said "Yes, they were actually going out when I arrived but I heard from Penelope that she ended it"

A sigh of relief escaped my lips
I still have a chance

"You may go now" I told him and he gave me a small node before leaving my room

My eyes looked out of the window where there were bright lights from the festival and tourists were still walking around late at night

You're not gonna escape from me Angel, I've made sure that you won't escape my grasp

As days go by without her beside me I feel like I am almost forgetting her but thankfully I made a lot of sketches and put up her pictures everywhere, the t-shirt that I stile right in front of her is now a pillowcase back at home
My coping mechanism is weird but it's the best I can do so I could muster up some sleep

She wasn't only my Pillow Buddy but I consider her as my real girlfriend

But since Angel was adorably oblivious it got to this situation
Well, I am at fault too since I couldn't confess to her when I had many chances

I looked down at her recent picture "You've changed your appearance, the you before was way prettier but of course, you're still pretty like that too" I smiled
She must have longingly wanted to be called pretty but I didn't give it to her, I'm such a douche

Her insecurities grew every day when she spends time with me and her family that it started to be the very core as to why she ran away, my hand went to rub my temple

I heard a knock at my door and I answered it, Nick and Nikki we're outside if the door with a lot of food in their hands

"The locals told us that they were giving out free food so we went there to get some" Nick handed me a paper bag before he sat down on the chair beside the window

Nikki started to eat the Shawarma rice "So Mr. Prideful, are you gonna confess to your girlfriend or are we gonna have to go through this stupid cycle again?" She asked me
These 2 already knew about my feelings for Angel

"I'm worried she won't accept me"

"If you don't confess now then when? Until we turn gray and old? Just confess, if she rejected you that's it, at least you tried!" Nick stood up and told me with an annoyed face

"Penelope wouldn't be running away like this if she didn't like you, she stayed to be there for you and she even took the liberty to keep your secret safe! IF THAT'S NOT LOVE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS!" He yelled at the last part

As my best friend who saw my lowest, he knew how much I have suffered from my Insomnia and those damn nightmares. He has had enough of just watching me suffer

"I hate watching you like this Cloud, we want you to finally be happy and I'm not gonna stand by and watch it all go down if you're just going to be a coward"

Coward?
So all this time I was a coward

I chuckled as I have realized what I'd been for a long time
Looks like I'm going to confess whether she likes it or not
