Best friend or Lover?

Chapter.4 - Best Friend or Lover?

"Alright so from what we are just seeing; it doesn't look too bad. The worst maybe a sprain. But we need to bring you to the hospital so you can get it healed" One of the paramedics said.

"We need one person to come with us in the ambulance to the hospital. We suggest it being her parent or guardian" Another paramedic said.

"That would be me" Olivia's mum said raising her hand, "Noah, you can take Marcel home with my car."

"Alright mum. Marcel, you ready to go?" Noah asked.

"Yeah, I'm ready. Bye miss Jackson, bye Liv." Marcel said waving to them.

"Bye sweetheart, we'll see you later." Their mum said waving back.

"Bye M, I'll see you later." Olivia said.

"Love you Liv" Marcel whispered.

The whole car ride home Marcel wasn't feeling himself. He would look out the window every now and then looking as sad as you would pretending you were in a sad music video.

'I love that girl' and 'I love Olivia' he would whisper once in a while. 

"Hey. You look down. What's up?" Noah asked frowning his eyebrows.

"Nothing." Marcel sighed, "Nothing at all."

"Hey dude, just tell me what's up. I can clearly tell something isn't right." Noah said.

What Noah had just said triggered Marcel's brain to spit out all and everything that was on his mind. "Well, Liv got injured so I'm worried about her."

"Anything else?" Noah asked. Was he trying to be a therapist or something?

"I uh...also really like Olivia. No, I love her. I love Olivia. I can't stop thinking about her. She's all that I can think about. Even though Olivia and I are only friends to her, I can except that. I'll just have to except the way she feels. But on the other hand she could actually like me and I could actually have a girlfriend. But I'm not ready to have a girlfriend. I've never had one before. What do I do if i have a girlfriend? What do I say to her?" Marcel said really fast, almost in one breath.

"Whoa! Calm down. Breath." Noah said, "That was a lot, let me process." He stopped for a second, "So you love Olivia and want her to be your girlfriend?"

"Yeah. Um...I know, it's a bit weird I'm talking to you about this. I should just keep my mouth shut from now on." Marcel said sighing while looking down a his shoes and fiddling with his fingers.

"Marcel, I wish I could tell you this but I promised I wouldn't. But let me tell you what, that one lucky girl is closer than you think." Noah said with a wink.

A little bit later Marcel and Noah got home. 

"Bye Noah. Thank you for letting me talk about that. I usually don't get to talk about feelings and stuff in my house. So...I'll see you tomorrow?" Marcel asked as he stepped onto his porch.

"Your welcome, I'm just kinda used to Olivia blabbing on and on about drama and crying, so my "therapist" side came out. But uh...yeah, I'll see you tomorrow. Bye." Noah said walking to his house.
