my brother's best friend

5-Lea

As I woke up, I saw y/n. Her head was on my chest, it was amazing. She looked to adorable when she slept. I got my phone and checked the time. 8:24, July 3rd, 2021. I quickly got up, not remembering the thought of y/n waking up nor that her head was on my chest.

"W-what's the rush?" Y/n said in a tired voice as she rubbed her eyes and looked at me. I felt horrible. I quickly saw that she was confused. I noticed I was frowning. I quickly gave her a smile.

"I'm going to see a friend, so I gotta be quick. I'm sorry for waking you. Go back to sleep" I said as I got out of bed and grabbed some clothes. As I went near the door I looked back at her. She covered herself with the covers a faced the wall. I walked out the door closing it quietly. I walked to the bathroom and changed into a blue hoodie and black ripped jeans. I walked towards the door, then I was stopped.

"Where are you going? It's only 8:41 am" Tommy asked me as he shot me a tired good morning look.

"To meet Lea a-" I realized what I just said. I covered my mouth and ran out the door. I drove to the café and sat at a table. I sat there for a while. It seamed like forever so I decided to text her.

George:

hey where are you? It's 9:10am already

Lea:

Be there soon just leaving the house xxx

I waited and waited. I checked the time. 9:49am. I texted her one more time.

George:

You said you'd be leaving the house more than a half hour ago! Where are you?!?!?

I soon waited even more. Soon a waitress came over to me. She was concerned. I looked up from my phone to see her sitting across from me.

"Sir are you ok? You've been here for more than an hour" She said as she looked in m eyes. She gave me a concerned look and put her note-pad to the side. I sighed,

"My ex wants to talk things out, she said she'd be here at 9am but I guess not" I said. I quickly grabbed my phone and drove back home. I went inside and saw everyone staring at me. Y/n was sitting on the island counter on a stool. She glanced up from her phone and sat there with a bowl of lucky charms. everyone was in the living room. I didn't see Clay so I assumed he was still sleeping or something. There was a silence until y/n broke it.

"How was your date" she said as she gave me a glare. I didn't know how she found out. Then I realized what I said. Tommy had told everyone. But did he have to tell y/n? Out of everyone, he told y/n!

"She uh- she stood me up" I said as I rubbed the back of my neck with a frown. Y/n gave me a shocked look as everyone did as well. It was awkward so I broke the silence and everyone went back to do their own thing.

"Y/n can we talk?" I asked her as I leaned on the counter. I made eye contact with her. She said sure and we went to her room. She sat on the bed while I stood there.

"Y/n those comments.. their just idiots. Yo-" She cut me off. I was surprised at what she told me. I stood there once again like an idiot. I hated what she said. \

"You know, why didn't you about Lea? I liked you and I thought you liked me back. I'm an idiot to think you would like me back" Was what she told me, cutting me off. I held back the tears. I didn't respond so I just walked out of the room. I went into the bathroom. I couldn't take it anymore. I cried hard. I heard a knock on the door and wiped my tears away. I opened the door. It was Clay. Out of all people, Clay? I really hope y/n didn't tell him anything. He would nearly kill me. Worst of all, get kicked out and lose my best friend.

"I heard what happened. I'm sorry she stood you up. But why would you go and talk to her? She cheated on you and broke your heart!" He told me as he pulled me in a hug. I hugged him back. I wish Clay was y/n. I felt more safe with her than anyone else. But I could already tell she doesn't want to talk to me at all. I pulled away from the hug.

" I honestly don't know. I just thought she wanted to work things out" I reply, answering his question. He gave me a blank stare. I knew it was awkward now. I walked pass him and into the living room. Everyine stared a me again. It was more awkward than it was with clay, but not as worse when it was with y/n. I sat down on the couch and scrolled through TikTok.
