SIXTEEN

Quinn sat starring at Peyton's contact on his phone. It had been three days since the phone call with his mom and he was seriously debating on whether or not he should tell Peyton how he feels.

"Dude, just tell her," Elias' voice snaps him out of his thoughts.

"What?"

"Just tell Peyton how you feel," Elias repeated.

"What if she doesn't like me like that?" Quinn asked. "I could fuck everything up."

"She wouldn't have gone on two dates with you and kissed you, twice, if she didn't,"

Quinn thought for a quick moment.

"Fine," Quinn sighed. "But if anything goes wrong, I'm blaming you."

Hey, can we meet
up and talk?

Quinn threw his phone on the coffee table in front of him.

"I just asked her if we can meet up and talk," Quinn told Elias.

"What'd she say?"

"I don't know, she didn't answer,"

"Maybe she's working," Elias shrugged it off.

"No, she works Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Fridays — Sundays," Quinn told him. "It's Monday."

"Just give her time, she'll answer,"

Peyton sat on the couch of her apartment, staring at Quinn's contact in her phone. She knew how she felt and she wanted to tell Quinn, but was scared of ruining things.

"Just tell him," Amelia, her best friend and brother's girlfriend, told her.

"What if he doesn't feel the same?" Peyton asked.

"Didn't he tell you that he really liked you before kissing you?" Amelia asked.

"Wait, you guys kissed?" Brayden looked at his sister.

"Yeah," Peyton nodded.

Peyton's phone chimed in her lap.

"Quinn texted. He wants to meet up,"

"Say yes!"
