I Guess I'm In Love With You || (sketchXreader)

Chapter 23

(Y/n)'s POV

"At least she told you the truth," I said, breaking the silence from everyone and trying to say positive things to get it out of Elijah's mind.

But it was no use. He was still frozen, everyone still shocked from what happened.

"Well... Let's go home," I said, dragging Amie to drive. 

Surprisingly, everyone else followed. Everyone pushed Elijah towards the minivan.

"I think I messed up..." I say to Amie in the car.

"Why? You didn't do anything wrong," Amie said, checking her rear view mirror.

"Well, it's probably my fault he's gonna be like that for a couple of days... maybe weeks... or months... or-"

"Y/n!" Amie yelled, deafening my ear. "Can't you see? This is your chance to win his heart!"

"Calm down Amie, he's not a game to beat, he's a human being. Of course I'm not gonna date him. Well, at least I can't." I said, fiddling with my purse.

"Who in the world says you can't? Well, why not? I thought that was what you wanted," Amie replied.

"But Amieeee, I can'ttt," I whined. "He loved her, not me."

"Y/n, sometimes you can be a bit too nice. Obviously, he doesn't fucking love her anymore, they're long gone!" Amie responded.

I thought about it for a long time. I wanted to be his girlfriend, and I feel like I just threw Cayla out of the way so that I can date him. So I explained... it had to take time.

It just felt... wrong.

Elijah didn't bother speaking, eating or literally do anything. 
I wanted to cheer him up, or maybe just start a normal conversation.
I knock onto his room, I open the door and find him laying on his bed, just holding in his tears.

"Elijah... it's okay... I know how you feel," I said, sitting beside Elijah on his bed.

He muttered a few words before looking at me.
"Don't worry about me Y/n, I'm fine."

He wasn't.
He was doing the thing where he hides his emotions from his smile. 
He was hurt, broken and sad.

"Elijah... it's okay to cry sometimes. It's not just girls who does it... and I am sorry about you and Cayla. I know what it's like to be with someone for a while, then them leaving you for someone else..." 

I have. In my previous relationships.

I turned to Elijah, his face filled with rivers of tears. He was crying, but not in a loud way. He was crying over everything, and all I could do was hug him.

"It's been a lot this year... The Pals are gone, Braden's gone from the Pals if you knew," 

"No. I didn't know about that," I said. "Braden? Why'd he leave?"

"Well, probably something about cyberbullying a fan," He replied.

"You talk to him?" I asked. I was then suddenly curious about Braden, he's literally a kind person. And he was removed?

Elijah shakes his head, causing me to give out a disappointed sigh. Braden has been friends with Sub, but I've never really gotten close to him, than the others. And now, I don't think I can get the chance too.

"Well... anyway... Don't put too much pressure on yourself, sometimes just let it go, okay? It can be hard, but you gotta do it," I said, smiling at Elijah.

Elijah was taking a long pause, then also returned his smile.
"Thank you, Y/n."
