i think i kinda love you

chapter 13 | oh so you're kissing her now?

"heyy!" finn screams from across the room as i close the door. 

claudia waves her hand while smiling at me, like finn, zoe adds an exited "hi" and drew gets up reaching for a hug. 

"ugh, i feel like i haven't seen you in forever how are you ev?" she whispers in my ear as we hug.

"i'm good. really really good. bil keeps me sane." i answer truthfully. 

"that's good to hear." she chuckles. 

"but hey, i missed you. we should see each other more often. i know you're sticking with bil because she's caught up in work and it's hard for her to not have you there while she's making music and shit but we really can't freaking wait as long as we did until we see each other next." she adds. 

"fuck yeah dude. i literally missed you." i say while smiling. 

drew is too cute. i honestly think it's so cute how bil's friends are mine too now.

i walked towards zoe, gave her a hug and we made small talk. claudia and i did the same. once i finished greeting everyone, i sat down beside bil on the couch. she lifts her arm up gesturing for me to rest my head under her arm. i did just that. i love how we always cuddled. we're cute. 

i looked around the room as everyone was talking to one another, as people do at get-togethers, and glance over at emma only to find her with jealousy-filled eyes. 

"you good?" i mouth to her. 

she nods yes but i know damn fucking well she's lying. to break the very clear tension between me and emma, i propose a game of truth or dare. everyone agrees. although it seems a little childish, it was a perfect way to break the ice. after a couple of rounds of truth or dare, emma pulls me aside and asks me if her boyfriend, noah, can come. of course, i said yes but i was super skeptical. wasn't she just telling me how she's planning to break up with him?

she stays in the corner as her phone is up to her ear while she talks to her boyfriend while i go back to the couch and lay on billie's waist. 

"baby you sure you're good?" she mouths. 

i shrug my shoulders. 

"wanna talk about it?" she whispers lightly.

"not right now." i whisper back. 

she nods her head sort of as an "okay".

"hey guys, so my boyfriend noah wanted to hang with me tonight but i told him i was out so he said that he was down to join us would that be cool with everyone?" emma asks. 

didn't this bitch just say SHE wanted him there?

after another few rounds of truth or dare fly by and just as claud was gonna dare emma, the doorbell rang. it was probably goddamn noah. fuck. i forgot about this whole shitshow of a relationship emma has with someone she allegedly wants to break up with but then wants him with her when she's with her best friend and her girlfriend. the fuck is she on. 

"i'll get it!" emma exclaims. 

thank god. 

she gets up and quickly skips towards the door and when she was far enough to not be able to hear me whisper, i quickly try to gather everyone's attention. luckily it worked. 

"guys i'm so fucking sure she's never weird like this. i have no idea what's gotten into her. she's sober i promise but like, i really have no idea why the fuck she's acting like this."

throughout my little apology, everyone, not including emma and noah, looked at me with compassion seeming to understand what i was saying. they all looked forgiving so i took that as an acceptance to my apology. i figured no one was gonna add on to what i was saying because emma was probably getting close. and before i could even process what i was just thinking about, she comes up behind me and bil as she flirtatiously strokes billie's shoulder. and bil flinches to her touch. oh hell no. 

"emma can you maybe fucking not." i say sternly.

"jesus christ, sorry." she answerers, clearly annoyed.

her and noah sat down right beside bil and me. this bitch was really trying her hardest to push my buttons.  

"anyways," claudia says, breaking the awkwardness. 

"i was about to dare you to do something but i forgot who it was so let me come up with a different one." she says. pausing to think for a second then resumes talking. 

"emma, i dare you to kiss the prettiest person in the room." she adds. 

we all fully expected emma to kiss noah. and that's what she did. at first. but then, she abruptly stops kissing noah and reaches to her left where billie was. she awkwardly put her hand on bil's thigh but at how weird she was tonight, i was gonna tell her to not touch bil but before i could even say anything, emma looks at me then at billie. in the blink of an eye, almost everyone in the room, including bil but discluding emma, went from being annoyed to be absolutely mortified by emma's actions. 

this bitch was kissing billie. 

what. 

the. 

fuck. 

"oh so you're kissing her now??" i yell.

she stares blankly into my eyes giving me no answer.

"emma get the fuck out." i said.

i've genuinely never been angrier in my entire life.

"make me." emma says.

but before i was about to knock this motherfucker out and drag her outside, finneas and zoe somehow manage to get in front of her. finn began explaining that she needed to leave immediately or they'd escort her out and childishly, she rudly looked at me one last time and stuck the middle finger at everyone before screaming, "fuck you all!" 

i was mortified. we all were. but, at least she was walking herself out. 

poor noah walks out behind her in desperation like all of us, wondering what the actual fuck had just happened. 

wait. could bil have been the crush she was telling me about earlier?
