Just Chatting, right?

Chapter Eight

I'm standing still, afraid that if I move they will hear me through the walls.
"Pero como? When you guys meet?" Alex asked, unsure on how Rai even had time to meet and date since she was always with us.
I put my ear against the wall, because if I stood in front of the door, they will see my shadow.
Although I had some questions, I knew the answers would come sooner then later.
"Well, that's a story to talk about later I don't wanna bore you just yet, Alex."
Interesting answer, but I don't doubt they probably met through social media.
"Where's Alondra?" She asks, I panicked and I quickly jumped on my bed. I get on my phone, opening TikTok and started doom scrolling to pass time until Alex or anyone opens my bedroom just so I could have a reason to not go outside.

Alex opens the door, "Alo."

I look up and his eyes were wide, like he's seen a ghost.
"Rai is here," he pauses, "with—"
"Her girlfriend," I interrupted. I get off the bed and sigh, "Alex, what's happening to me?"
My chest started to hurt, I held my hand over it.
"I feel like everything is going to shit!"
Alex quickly rushes towards me, hugging me trying to calm me down.
"Mi amor, no! I know this isn't Rai," he holds me arm length, "She's planning something."
I know my brows, "Like what?"
He sighs, "to make you jealous maybe. I don't know what exactly or why, but one night Rai confessed to me."

What?

"She told me she was in love and that scared her, because she knew if this love were ever to happen, she was afraid of rejection by...you."
Alex stared into my eyes waiting for a response that I didn't have. I'm barely trying to come up with a solution to my own feelings but this confession has made this even harder.
"Alex, you know I have feelings for her why would you keep this from me?"

Alex tears up, "Because I'm not just your best friend, I'm hers too. I respect your secrets and hers too just as well as you two keep mine."

That is true.
I can't blame him, I would've done to the same.
I sigh, knowing I had to go out and greet the couple. I need to figure this out myself.
"Okay, let's go out there and have a fucking amazing stream tonight but with a special guest."

We might lose followers tonight.
