Needed Some Time To Think...Anyways, 100 comments? 🥺

Y/n Pov.

Brandon: "I can't take this shit anymore man!" I sighed walking around the mall with him.

Y/n: "Brandon, you know millions of guys can give Kaia attention but all she wants is you." He huffed.

Brandon: "I know that, but can you blame me? I know I'm not good for her and-"

Y/n: "Okay, stop yourself right there. Who the fuck told you you're not right for her? I've seen the way you treat her and you do a fucking good job. So don't let anyone tell you any different, no one knows what happens behind closed doors." He nodded.

Brandon: "I guess you're right, thanks Y/n/n." I smiled.

Y/n: "No problem, want a milkshake?" He threw his arm over my shoulder and smiled.

Brandon: "Hell yeah, I'm paying since you paid last time." I sighed but agreed. 

We grabbed our drinks and continued to walk around the mall since we had nothing else to do and needed to get away from our houses right now. We sat down near the food court and made ourselves comfortable.

Brandon: "I heard some guy named Eric asked Maddy out." I continued to sip my milkshake, "How does that thing work between the two of you?" He asked curiously.

Y/n: "Honestly, we tried to make it work before but it was a fail. We couldn't see past the friendship but the kissing was great...and the other things." He shook his head.

Brandon: "So you guys do stuff but haven't had sex?" I scratched the back of my neck.

Y/n: "Trust me, whenever we get close to doing it, something happens. Her parents come home, her brother needs help, someone calls, it always something." I explained.

Brandon: "But would you want Maddy to be your first? Vice versa?" I sat back and thought about it.

Yes, I know what you all are thinking...Yes, I'm still a virgin.

Y/n: "I mean, I always thought I'd be in a place where when I do give it up, my feelings for the girl would be all over the place, but I just don't see it. It's hard to find a girl who doesn't want to just use you as an experiment." He smiled at me sadly.

Brandon: "You mean like Heather?" I rolled my eyes at the mention of her name.

Y/n: "You know, first hand that I wanted things to work with her. I liked the girl in middle school and it faded but then it came back and everything just fell in place. We were in the same Math class, we sat together, we started talking more and then we just started dating..." I placed my milkshake down, "And I thought she liked me, but she just wanted to use me as bragging rights. I fucking hate people like that. What do you get out of making other people hurt? "He drank his milkshake.

Brandon: "They're sick fucks," I couldn't help but laugh making him join in. "But I do know that she meant a lot to you. I mean, you started falling for the girl." I pursed my lips as the sudden rush of feelings I had for her surfaced.

Y/n: "I'm scared to fall again..." I admitted looking at him, "I'm scared to fall because I feel like no one will catch me. Brandon, I don't want to fall and hit the ground." He sat back and nodded.

Brandon: "I know, you want to fall in someone's arms instead of the cold concrete." I sat back and nodded looking at him.

Not many people knew why Brandon and I were best friends but it was simple. We were the same but differ in certain ways. Brandon's dad left when he was ten, I wish mine would have done that or at least acted like I existed. His mom was present in his life, much like mine. He has no siblings, I wish I had the same. 

He was also in a relationship where he made himself vulnerable but ended up getting abused. Yes, abused, the girl hit him and talked shit to his face repeatedly which fucked with him to this day. 

That's why Kaia was a blessing in his life, she pulled him out of the dark.

I wish I had someone to do that for me.

Brandon: "Listen, I know you feel like you're never going to find that but you will. You have us and you know hands down, we would all dive in, head first to save you. Always." I smiled.

Y/n: "I know Brandon, but...I wish I had someone like Kaia," He nodded understandingly.

Brandon: "I get that but she's going to come. Kaia is a blessing, I know it, we all do and you're going to find that. Just don't think about it so much and let it come to you naturally. The girl of your dreams can be right under your nose without you knowing it." He said grabbing his milkshake.

Y/n: "Look at you being wise. I need to get Kaia an award." He laughed and shoved me, almost pushing me off the chair. I gasped and shoved him back. "Dick," He wiggled his eyebrows.

Brandon: "I know I have one, don't you as well?" I rolled my eyes and went back to enjoying my milkshake.

We were busy having another conversation when some girls from school spotted us. They sat down at our table making me give Brandon a look whilst he put his hands up in surrender and pulled out his phone, talking to Kaia.

"So, Y/n, still single?" I looked over at Chantel and nodded.

Y/n: "You know me and relationships, Chantel, we're just not meant for each other right now." She giggled along with her friend, "Where's Cindy?" I asked noticing the brown-eyed girl missing.

"Somewhere shopping," Sommer added.

Y/n: "Mhmm, you girls are at the mall very late, any reason why?" They exchanged looks.

"The usual, clothes. We're still having my annual back to school party." I laughed.

Y/n: "Parents out of town?" They both laughed.

"They have to be, they would die if they knew what teenagers are capable of." Brandon and I laughed. He put away his phone and looked at me.

Brandon: "Kaia is still busy with homework so she cant join us, but we're going to the arcade, you girls wanna join?" I looked at them.

"Sure," They both agreed. 

We cleaned up the table and left, walking to the arcade with the girls. We were friends with them so it wasn't a big deal, but both girls made it their duty to flirt with me, especially Chantel. We entered the arcade, Brandon and I put some money together and bought tokens.

Brandon: "What's first?" We walked around making Chantel take my hand and drag me to the skee ball machine.

"I'll make you guys a deal, whoever gets the lowest score in this has to buy drinks for the rest of the night." Brandon and I exchanged looks.

"Bet," We both said standing at our machines. I handed Chantel and Sommer some tokens and started the game.

I laughed when Chantel shoved me trying to get an advantage, which she did, but it didn't last for long. We finished the game and added up our scores.

Y/n: "Oh! You know Brandon and I are the dream team," I high-fived my best friend seeing the two girls roll their eyes.

"Whatever, what drinks do you want?" Chantel asked when we started walking to the drinks cart they had.

Y/n: "I'll have a coke," I smiled looking at her.

Brandon: "Make it two!" They both ordered our drinks as we stood behind them and waited. I felt Brandon nudge my sides.

Y/n: "Ow! What?" I rubbed my side, "You and those poky fucking elbows bro." He waved and laughed nervously.

Brandon: "Bella is here...with a guy, must be a boyfriend and she spotted us. She is coming over so don't freak out, okay?" He mumbled trying his best not to move his lips.

Y/n: "What? Fuck." I mumbled making the girls turn to us and hand us our drinks. "Thanks, Chantel," I smiled making her blush.

"No problem, not like I could say no to you." I smiled shyly and saw Bella stand by us, looking at Chantel before her eyes moved to me.

Bella: "Hey Y/n," The way she said my name made my knees weak and tremble.

Y/n: "Hey Isabella," I saw her roll her eyes playfully. "Funny running into you," She sighed.

Bella: "It's date night," She moved her head to the side where I saw a boy. He eyed both Chantel and Sommer. The girls move to our sides, feeling uncomfortable under his stare. "This is my boyfriend, Abel." I looked at him and felt an odd feeling settle in my stomach.

This boy gave me weird-ass vibes.

Abel: "Hey," He extended his hand out, offering me a fake smile.

Bella: "This is Y/n. I help her parents out," I shook his hand.

Abel: "Your girlfriends?" He said looking at the girls. I saw Bella frown at his words and look at him, clearly seeing that he was checking them out.

Y/n: "We're just friends." My grip around my cup tightened.

Abel: "Really? I wouldn't be just friends with them." I saw Bella tense next to him and frowned immediately.

Y/n: "Well, if I were you I'd focus on the girl next to me." I bit back trying not to sound too aggressive.

Abel: "And what is that supposed to mean?" I shrugged.

Y/n: "I wouldn't stare at other girls if she's on my arm." I pointed to her arm which was wrapped around his bicep.

He was going to say something but shut his mouth, Bella looked at me and smiled softly. I sent a subtle wink her way and sighed since the tension was growing.

Bryce: "Anyways, we should do our own thing and let you two enjoy your date," He smiled trying to lighten the mood."Bye!" We bid them goodbye and went our separate ways.

I turned around and saw her pull her hand away from his and glare. She said something to him earning an eye roll from him in return. You could tell by their body language that they were fighting. I frowned and turned back to Chantel who dragged me to another game.

We spent all our tokens and we enjoyed our time there. The girls left and both myself and Brandon walked them out since we also had to leave. We walked them to their car and started making our way to mine.

Brandon: "Chantel wants you sooo badly," I laughed shaking my head.

Y/n: "She's a sweet girl and all but she also got out of a relationship. She needs some healing time." He scoffed.

Brandon: "What's Sommer's excuse?" I laughed.

Y/n: "Sommer is a wild card, honestly. I never know what to expect with her but she's fun and cool to hang out with," He hummed.

Brandon: "The day you start catching feelings for a girl, I might die." I shoved him playfully pulled out the keys to my car.

I heard some shouting and Brandon and I exchanged looks, walking to the car faster. Some couples throw shit and I don't want my car getting hurt. I opened my car door and looked in front of me seeing Bella and Abel fighting.

Y/n: "Brandon," He followed my gaze.

Brandon: "Oh, she looks like she is about to explode," I nodded.

She pushed him back harshly, wiping the few tears that escaped her eyes. He shook his head and climbed in his car, driving off.

Brandon: "What the fuck? He just left her here." He frowned not liking it one bit.

Y/n: "That's because he is an asshole," I closed the door and huffed. "I'm going to talk to her and offer her a ride. I can't leave her here." He looked at me.

Brandon: "Okay, I'll sit in the back," I gave him a thankful look and walked towards the girl.

Bella's back was turned to me and she was typing on her, sniffing every now and then. I cleared my throat and stuffed my hands in my pockets catching her attention. She turned around and saw me.

Bella: "Fuck, did you see that?" She asked.

Y/n: "I didn't mean to. I was just walking to my car and he was parked in front of me," She groaned. I searched my pockets and pulled out the pack of tissues I always carry since my friends are emotional wrecks.

I still love them, though.

Bella: "Thanks," She mumbled when I handed the tissues to her. "I'm sorry you saw and heard that." I shrugged.

Y/n: "I've seen worse so you're okay." She laughed a little. I smiled at the sound and shed off my jacket, "Here, you look cold." I wrapped it around her and smiled slowly.

Bella: "Thank you," She mumbled still wiping her nose.

Y/n: "No problem. I'm going home and since I can't leave you here, you're coming with me." She shook her head.

Bella: "No! I messaged G and-"

Y/n: "Message her back and tell her you to have a ride. Come on," I moved aside and pointed to the car.

She sighed but walked to my car making me rush and open the passenger door for her. She smiled and I closed the door once she got in. I got in and started the engine, seeing Bella admire the interior of my car.

Bella: "What the actual," I laughed and reversed out of the parking spot.

Bryce: "I know, we all still say that about this car." I shook my head.

Bella: "Wait, who bought this?" I exited the mall parking and made my way onto the main road.

Y/n: "My mom bought it. I saved some money up and had the interior done along with a new paint job. The car was white before but I wanted matte black so I got it. My car is my baby." Brandon stuck his head between the two of us.

Brandon: "It's my baby too, you know," I laughed and shook my head.

Y/n: "Sure Brandon, sure." I laughed turning the music up a little.

Bella: "Uhmm thanks for today by the way," She said making both Brandon and myself look at her. "Brandon for trying to break the tension and Y/n for well, being Y/n." I smiled.

Y/n: "Of course," I said looking at the review mirror to see Bryce smirking at me.

Brandon: "It's cool, I just didn't want Y/n causing a scene." I scoffed.

Y/n: "You are just as bad as me, so shut the fuck up." Bella giggled at our banter.

I dropped Brandon off first and continued to drive to Bella's house. The car was filled with silence but I didn't mind since it was comfortable. I pulled up to her driveway and put the car into the park glancing at the girl.

Y/n: "Do you feel better now?" She shrugged.

Bella: "I feel fine now, but I'll start overthinking before I sleep." I sighed.

Y/n: "Just message me, okay? Maybe I can help in some way." She smiled at my offer.

Bella: "I will," I was about to say something else when my phone went off. 

Y/n: "Excuse me..." I mumbled pulling out the phone and saw my mother calling. "Hey, mom, what's up?" I asked.

Jennifer: "Hey baby, your father is still at work because his surgery is running longer than expected and I had to go to the office for an emergency. Do you have house keys?" She asked.

Y/n: "Uhmm let me check..." I looked in my car and saw no house keys insight. "Shit, mom, I don't have any keys. I left them at home." She sighed.

Jennifer: "Okay, can you stay by someone tonight? I'm not sure what time either one of us is coming home and I don't want you waiting," I sighed.

Y/n: "Okay, I'll ask one of the girls or the boys." She hummed.

Jennifer: "I'm sorry sweetheart. I'll phone you when I can, okay?" I nodded.

Y/n: "Okay mom. Love you and be safe." She said it back and hung up. 

Bella: "You okay?" She asked.

Y/n: "Kinda, I need somewhere to crash since I forgot my keys and no one is home." I mumbled typing on the group chat.

Bella: "You could stay with me," She said and I stared at her. She blushed and shrugged her shoulders trying to act cool about it, "You can, I can ask my parents and-"

Y/n: "Oh no, it's alright. I'll just-"

Bella: "Wait here..." She jumped off the car and walked inside her house. I sighed and sat back in my seat seeing her walk out two minutes later with her mom standing at the door.

Yolanda: "Y/n, you can come inside!" Bella walked to my car and grabbed her bag with a smile.

Y/n: "You are something else Bella," She grinned.

Bella: "I know," I chuckled and grabbed my things, getting out of the car.

I greeted her mom and walked inside, greeting everyone else. We both excused ourselves and I follow Bella upstairs, I still didn't know what was happening.

Bella: "So my parents are fine with you sharing with me. Our guest's rooms are a mess right now because we're still moving things around." I gulped but nodded.

I'm sharing a bed with Bella.

Oh God, Oh Jesus, Oh I'm going to die.

Y/n: "Cool..." I mumbled trying to pretend that I wasn't dying on the inside.

Bella: "What are you sleeping in?" She asked putting her bag on the desk, taking out her phone, and putting it to charge.

Y/n: "This?" I said which came out like a question. She looked back at me.

Bella: "Don't be silly, what do you normally sleep in?" I pursed my lips.

Y/n: "My boxers and a shirt," I answered.

Bella: "I'll get a shirt from Anwar." She walked out of the room. I took a deep breath.

Don't freak out.

You're fine.

You will be fine.

Get your shit together, Y/n! 

Bella: "Here you go..." I was pulled out of my thoughts when she walked back into the room and handed me the shirt.

Y/n: "Thanks...I'll uh...be right back." I smiled nervously and walked to the bathroom. I closed the door and huffed.

I changed and grabbed my clothes walking out of the bathroom. I saw her standing in front of the mirror, removing her makeup, and gawked. She wore white short shorts with a top that clung to her which allowed my imagination to run wild. I moved my gaze down to her ass and heard the imaginary audience in my head all clap.

God, please don't let me get a boner.

Bella: "If you're staring at my ass, it must mean the squats are working." I coked on my spit and coughed roughly.

Y/n: "Oh! Sorry, I thought I saw a...spider?" She looked at me through the mirror and laughed.

Bella: "Sure you did," I looked down and blushed feeling like my face was on fire.

I put my clothes on the chair and moved back, standing near the bed. She finished removing her makeup and moved to the bed, putting her hair into a messy bun. She bit her lip and patted the bed.

Bella: "Don't worry, I don't bite." She winked.

OH, GOD! PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME A BONER.

Y/n: "Yeah, okay," I mumbled getting under the covers and clearing my throat. She was silent when her phone goes off. She picked it up and read the message, rolling her eyes.

Bella: "I'm such an idiot," I frowned.

Y/n: "No you aren't," I said looking at her. "He's a piece of shit who doesn't deserve you," I said seeing her look at me. "I'm serious. Bella, if I had you, there would be no need to look at another woman." I mumbled honestly.

Bella: "You're cute." I blushed.

Y/n: "Doubt it but it's the truth. The dude seems confused and dumb...no offence." She laughed and leaned forward making me gulp.

Bella: "Thanks for making me smile," She kissed my cheek making the butterflies in my stomach lose their shit.

Y/n: "N-No problem." I smiled trying to seem normal. She turned the lamp off and made herself comfortable under the covers and I did the same and put one hand behind my head, looking at the ceiling.

Bella: "Y/n?" I turned my head and saw her looking at me, the moonlight peeping through the curtains sharpening her features.

Y/n: "Yes?" I smiled.

Bella: "I wouldn't be opposed to cuddling, just thought you should know that."
