In The Rain

chpt. 13

I make my way home and slowly walk up the stairs to reach my bedroom. I plop onto my bed and stare at the ceiling...

I still hadn't full processed what happened back at school, should I tell Haven? What would she have to say about all this? Did she know about Conan liking me? Only one way to find out.

Hey Haven, can we talk?

Mhmm, what's up?

Well uh, there's no easy way to say this but.
Conan confessed to me...

Haven read my message but didn't reply. Great! just what I needed. Maybe she's busy? even so, a quick message indicating she's doing something would be enough for me. I shut my phone off and put it to the side, not too far just in case she texted back.

There I was, back to staring at the ceiling questioning everything. My eye lids felt heavier with each blink, and slowly I fell asleep.

I woke up and looked at my phone to check the time, it was 2am and I got a notification from someone. Who could it be?

Hey Celestia, I want to apologize for what I said to you earlier at school today...
I don't want my feelings to get in between our friendship and possibly ruin it.

Why was Conan apologizing? He did nothing wrong. In fact I should be the one apologizing, I stood there and made things awkward.

Hi Conan...
Don't worry about it! The last thing I want is for our friendship to be ruined
To be honest it just shocked me a bit, so i apologize for not giving you a proper answer

Yeah, I get it... And I understand you like Chris
I really shouldn't have confessed to you

I didn't respond, how could I? I don't want to hurt him anymore than I already have. Then again, I don't know what to say... I close my phone and put it aside, leaving me alone with my thoughts as I try to fall asleep again.

I was now on my way to class. Luckily I didn't bump into Chris or Conan. Things have gotten awkward now and I can't help but to blame myself, my own actions are the reason why my best friend and crush won't talk to me.
