7. obsessed? no way!

It was a bit later on in the week and today I was finally going to tell my friends about my feelings with Niall.

Guilt has been eating me ever since I left Niall's house the other day. How could I keep my friends from knowing this?

I hopped inside my car, patiently waiting for them. Momentarily, I see them approaching, laughing at something I guess. This is the best time, I just hope I don't kill their mood.

When they get in, I peck their cheek and stare straight ahead, still not reversing out of the parking lot like I usually do.

"Something wrong?" Taylor asks and I sigh, biting my lip.

"Can I tell you guys something? But please don't flip out."

They look at me weirdly, "Okay..." Skye says.

I lean back in my seat, rubbing my face, "I like Niall."

"What?" They both say, not understanding what I had said since my voice came out muffled.

"I like Niall!" I exclaimed and there was silence in the car.

"Are you serious?" Skye gaped, and I nodded, resting my head on the steering wheel.

"Bonnie, I told you-"

"I know what you guys told me. I'm sorry... but I... I just..." I give up and shrug.

"Have you guys kissed?" Taylor speaks for the first time since I said I liked Niall.

"Yes." I truthfully say.

"How many times?" She frowns.

"Many..."

They both groan. "Sex?" Taylor asked.

"No." I shake my head.

"Good."

"I know you guys probably hate me now because I like him when you clearly told me not to like him." I ramble.

"Bonnie, why the hell would we ever hate you for a small thing? It's your feelings. We can't do anything about it. You shouldn't let anyone decide for it because it's your feelings, not mine or hers, or anyone elses." She says and I swallow.

"He also asked me out on a date..." I said and they raised their eyebrows. "And I said yes." I avoid their eyes.

"What the hell!" They yell and I bite my lip.

"How could you keep that from us, seriously?"

"I know you guys would flip out! That's why I didn't tell you guys."

"I'm not mad that you said yes, I'm mad because you said yes without even asking or telling us!"

"Ugh!" Taylor slumped against the car seat and I frowned.

"I can't believe you, Bonnie. I'm really hurt that you didn't even tell us first. When did you say yes?"

"After the... game." I frown.

"You said..." Taylor narrowed her eyes at me. "You ditched us for him? I would've been okay with that if you just told us the truth, not lie to us! Look what he's doing to you."

"It was my choice! Stop dragging him into this."

"You ditched your best friends of several years for a guy you've just known for months. I see how it is." Taylor opens the car door and walks away.

I look at Skye and she just shakes her head. "I don't know, Bonnie... I kind of agree with her."

"It's okay," My voice cracks.
