Geese Floating

Chapter Four

It was a Friday. Kenz figured that since neither Jordan nor Val had lives, they'd be available to come over. He wanted to talk everything out in person.

"I have to let my friends know everything. Isabelle, they know nothing about you. I'm sorry.", Kenz stated.

"Oh. That's- that's okay. Kenz, I get it, I do."

"You're not hurt? I care about you so deeply. Love you. I'd hate to cause you pain like you caused me."

Belle felt sadness at Kenz's passive aggressive comment. Even though they felt it was deserved.

Kenz pulled out his phone and decided to just message the group chat. The chat had both friends in it and, Liz.

"Guys, I have to admit something to everybody. I'd like to do it in person if possible. Can you come over tonight?"

Goose
"Liz, you don't have to come. Val will update you tomorrow."

The texts were sent off. Kenz patiently waited for the replies but luckily he didn't have to wait long.

"Yeah, I'm not doing anything. I can get dropped off after dinner. Curious to hear the news."

Liz
"Die."

Jordypie
"I'll get dropped off around six."

Kenz was pleased to see that they were both available on such short notice. He really wanted to get everything off his chest.

"You look relieved. I'm guessing they'll be heading over?", Belle asked.

"Yes, around six. Liz told me to die, but that's typical of her.", Kenz replied with humor.

"I'm going to pick up your room while we wait. You just stay where you are since you're so hurt."

Kenz put on his Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles love songs playlist, while Belle cleaned. Larry music was essential right now. He decided to lay back and rest to help pass the time.

There was a loud door slam that had Kenz bursting awake. He looked over to see Belle staring at him with startled eyes. The room was spotless.

Kenz had an idea what the noise was so he asked Belle the time.

"It's about five. Why?"

"My parents are getting home for work. They can't see you here.", Kenz loudly whispered.

Belle quietly raced over and slipped in Kenz's closet with him, out of sight. For a moment it was just the two of them in a tight space, but Kenz snapped out of it and exited the closet.

After a few minutes of Kenz greeting his mom, he returned to his room. He was relived he'd be having friends over so his parents wouldn't suspect anything.

Belle and Kenz spent over an hour together in the dark closet space before Val and Jordan showed up.

Kenz kept Belle in the closet, deciding it was best while he had the much needed conversation.

"Okay, I don't really know where to start. But I met a wonderful person in a One Direction group chat three months ago. We've fallen in love."

Val immediately responded in utter confusion, "What? I didn't think you had the capability to fall in love?"

"You found love in a One Direction group chat? That seems like the only way you'd do it.", Jordan replied, calm.

Kenz knew he should just get everything out there so he blurted, "And the love of my life is here. Now. In my closet."

Just as he finished his sentence Belle exited the closet.

"Hi, I'm OneDirectionLover69, but you can call me Belle."
