the neighbor (Twice Jihyo gxg)

Chapter 29

Sunday. This Sunday is the worst Sunday of my life. I haven't came out of my room, and I've turned off my phone just in case. I wanted to be left alone today.

Last night was the hardest thing I've ever done. It kept replaying in my head like a sad movie. I don't even know what to expect tomorrow at school. I didn't want to go, and I didn't want to see Jihyo.

"Hey, Y/n." I peeked out of the blankets and seen my sisters standing by my bed, with concerning faces. "You haven't left the bed all day. You don't want to watch a movie with us?" Tiffany asked.

"Yeah. I mean it's already 8:45, it still pretty early." Siyeon spoke as she crawled into bed with me. Tiffany doing the same on the other side of me.

"No. I just want to stay in bed." I mumbled and hid under my blanket.

"Want to talk about it?" I peeked out of the blankets again and shook my head. "You know we're here whenever you need us." I looked over at Tiffany and nodded.

"Yeah buddy. Just say the word and we'll be here in a heartbeat." Siyeon pinched my cheeks with a half smile.

"I know you guys will and I'm thankful for that." I smiled sadly. "I just want to stay in bed." I guess they didn't have anything more to say, so they kissed my head and left my room.

The next morning, I sat in my car with my forehead pressed against the steering wheel in the schools parking lot. I was contemplating whether if I should go to school or not. I've never ditched before, but there's always a first time for everything.

"Hey! Are you coming out?" I lifted up my head as I heard the tapping on the window. Yerin was standing there holding up a travel mug.

"No." I mumbled and rested my head against the wheel again.

"Y/n." I heard the click of the door opening, and Yerin sliding in. I looked over at her as she closed the door. "Are you ok?" I shook my head and began to cry. I hadn't cried and today knowing I was going to see her, I broke down. "Hey hey." Yerin took a hold of my arm and pulled me over to her.

"I don't want to go to class." I mumbled against her shoulder.

"Then we don't have to. Let's go get something to eat." Yerin smiled and slid on top of me and I moved over so she was driving. "What are we feeling like eating this morning?"

"Shit." I mumbled. She rolled her eyes and backed away from the parking lot. When we drove away from school I could hear the faint sound of the bell ring. This was definitely the first time.

We got to a small diner and sat in the back of the room in a booth. It was really cute and I couldn't help but look around. I've never been here before.

"Hey Yerin!" The waitress exclaimed. "Aren't you supposed to be at school?" The waitress then looked over at me and smiled. I smiled back and sinked in my seat thinking she was going to call the police.

"Hey, sunmi!" Yerin giggled. "My friend here is really sad. She needs breakfast." The waitress now known as Sunmi, took out her notepad and a pen.

"Well, you know the menu like the back of your hand, what can I get you?" Yerin thought about it and got us French toast with hash brown and bacon, with a coffee on the side. "You're order will be out shortly." She nodded at us both before leaving to leave our order.

"You come here alot?" I asked and finally looked back at her.

"Something like that. I work here nights. It's my favorite place." I nodded at her. I didn't know she worked. "So? How was your Saturday?" She sounded like she was teasing and I knew why. She was asking if I was hungover or not.

"I threw up all morning, and didn't eat anything till later that day." I chuckled. "Can I ask you something?" She nodded at me. Sunmi walked over and sat two mugs of coffee infront of us and the creamer and suger. "After the party. Did we have a moment infront of my house?" She sighed deeply.

"You remember?" I shook my head. "In the front of your house no. We just hung out on the swing and talked. Before I left your house though, I kissed you. I'm not going to keep that away from you." I didn't know what to say. "Don't worry. Just like how I did with your sister, I'm going to do that to you." I raised a brow.

"You're not going to talk to me?" I asked. Even if I didn't feel the same way for Yerin, I loved our friendship and I didn't want that to stop.

"No silly." She laughed. "I'm just not going to try with you anymore. You're clearly to invested in Jihyo. But I'll still be your friend. You're good company." I smiled lightly at her. She was amazing.

"I wouldn't want our friendship to stop. I care alot about you." She smiled wide and held up her fist. I bumped mine against hers and huffed.

"And I do to. Let's not bring this up anymore. Its embarrassing." She laughed and I joined her.

I dropped Yerin home after hours of hanging out. I decided to skip practice and found myself standing infront of my yard. I know they called my mom I wasn't at school. I can feel it in my gut she was waiting for me. But I had to face the music if I liked it or not.

"You little shit!" I swear Yoongi, Siyeon, and I give Tiffany the biggest headaches sometimes I feel bad for her. "You're lucky I answered the phone and not mom!"

"What are you talking about?" I took off my shoes and shut the door walking to the kitchen. Tiff was right behind me.

"I'm talking about you being a wanna be James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause or some shit!" She screamed. "Why are you ditching!?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! Please!" I begged so our mother wouldn't listen.

"You're lucky she isn't here!" Tiffany ran her fingers through her hair stressfully. "She's with Jihyo's mom shopping for groceries. " just hearing Jihyo's name made my heart pound roughly against my chest. "So why are you ditching? Why aren't you talking to me anymore?" One question after the other.

"I'm fine!" I yelled. I was now fed up. "I just want to know why can't I have a normal crush!? I always get people that are with someone or move away! I'm tired and I just want to be left alone! I want to cry till I can't no more! I hate that I like her! I hate that I want her! And I hate that I'm...falling for her." Tiffany just stared at me as I cried. I exploded and this is what I didn't want to happen.

"Come here." She whispered. I wiped my face and ran to hug my sister. I wrapped her in a hug and cried harder. She didn't say anything else but just hug me and rub my back. "I want to tell you something. Ok?" She said after an hour. She placed her hands on my shoulders and guided me to the living room. We sat on the couch as she turned on the TV. "I was with someone else when I first started talking to Suho." I raised a brow at my sister.

"You did?" I asked.

"Suho wasn't what I wanted. But I was falling in love with him slowly. I was still with my ex when Suho and I started dating. I know it was wrong, but i was still in a relationship that didn't make me happy anymore. I started to think of myself for once and what I wanted and my needs, and I started dating the man that is the love of my life." She smiled proudly and looked over at me. "Life's all about taking risk. Don't wait for a crush to move away, or for someone else to scoop them up. If you are falling for them y/n, try and fight for her. The worst she can say is no. If I was you, I'd go and fight for my girl!"
