The sun peeking into my room woke me up in the morning. Yesterday feels like a fever dream.

I mull over the kiss with Nick, and then the kiss with Alex. Could it really have just been yesterday?

I roll over and groan into my pillow. I have to ride in the car with both of them today on the way to Karl's.

I walk into the kitchen. They're both already eating. They look up with smug looks on each of their face's.

"Good morning," they say in unison.

"Morning," I'm not awake enough to deal with this yet.

They continue to talk, but I stay focused on the warm cup of coffee in front of me.

"I'm in a driving mood, so I can drive the whole way." Alex offers.

"That'll work for me." Nick nods, "you alright, y/n?"

"No, it's so early." I rub my eyes.

"It's noon." Alex says sarcastically.

"Well it's early for me."

Time skip im lazy

Last night I got next to no sleep. I decided to sit in the back of the car so I can get some.

~Alex Quackity POV~

I glance at the back seat of the car to see y/n fast asleep against the window. I smile softly before focusing on the road.

I've made a lot of stupid and impulsive decisions in my life, but last night was probably one of the best ones. I think I had been too careful when I thought of my feelings towards her. I tiptoed around subtle hints, but she was totally clueless.

The one word that keeps me going but holds me back at the same time runs across my head. Maybe. It's not a no, but it's not a yes.

She's thinking about it, which means she has some form of feelings. What's holding her back then? Can she not take a chance for us? Do I not matter? Or does our friendship mean too much?

"Is she asleep?" Nick asks beside me.

"Knocked out cold."

"She went to bed early, too."

"Something kept her up." I smile smugly, thinking that I was probably that something.

Nick looks pretty smug next to me. What's that face supposed to mean?

I think about it for a little, but Nick seems to want to answer my questions.

"I wanted to talk to you about something." he says out of the blue.

"Okay shoot."

"I kinda assumed that you had feelings for y/n, because who wouldn't, and I kinda realized that you like her more than I thought you did."

"Yeah I like her a lot," I just realized that recently myself. "why do you ask?"

"Well I like her too, and I think I could have a chance."

I scoff a little. Not a chance after our kiss last night. "What if I think I have a chance too?"

"That's what I wanted to talk about." He begins, "I think we should leave it up to her."

"Okay. I agree. It's her life." I nod.

Maybe I should be a little more upset about him being so upfront with his feelings, but I think I have a leg up when it comes to y/n.

I've been friends with her longer, I live with her and, last night, I could feel something from her as she kissed me back. Something I like to call passion.

Maybe the only mistake I made last night was not doing it sooner.

Then a pang of doubt surges through me. Maybe. That's the word she used with me. Was Nick the reason it was a maybe? What's getting in the way of us being together?

I shake the pang off. She told me it was because we were friends. That's what it is. She wouldn't lie to me.

And besides, I think I have a real chance with y/n.
