(7) "Moment Of Truth"

Norrie's P.O.V

=============================================

 I am tripping out, I don't know what to do, why am I acting like this?. The Mall date was a couple of days ago, but why can't I move on from it. I've tried my best to convince myself that Tristan is the right guy, but whenever I close my eyes, Brad's the one who kept on showing himself over and over again and it's getting really frustrating since I can't have a crush on him, I hate him.

 "Get your shit together Norrie. This is not you. He's just a boy, nothing more than that" I whispered to myself while staring at the mirror. This can't be happening, you're supposed to be with Tristan and not with Brad, okay? Tristan and NOT Brad.

 I reached for my phone and saw Mom's 10 missed calls, she's been dying to have me back home but I'm the one who doesn't wanna come back. She's still in contact with Dad which can only result to nothing but trouble. However, this is also my way out. In order to escape Brad and my ever confused feelings, I can just go back to America. 

 "Ugh Norrie. Why do you have a crush on Brad?" I asked myself, unaware that Katie is standing by the door completely shocked at what she just heard.

 "You like Brad?" she asked and then walked out. My heart's beating fast, I forgot she has a crush on him. How insensitive of me.

 "Katie!" I called out as I ran after her. "I'm sorry" I said as I caught up to her while she's about to open the door to her room. " If you still value us, Avoid Brad. " she uttered and then slammed the door on me. I think she knew all along that's something's up between me and Brad but she's just subtle about it , now that she confirmed it , she totally went off.

 How am I gonna avoid Brad when he's going here every single day?. And as if on cue, Brad called on my phone.

 "Hello?" I whispered as I ran downstairs.

 "Hey Norrie. I'm on my way there. Bye" that's all he said and then the call ended. Then someone started knocking at the door.

 "I got it" I uttered and then opened it and let Brad came in. "Is everything alright?" he asked. My heart is still racing, I wish I could tell him that he's the reason for whatever is it that happening but I can't, my tongue is too twisted about it.

  Then I saw Katie come down the stairs, I have to get away from Brad. "Here's Katie. I'm sorry I still need to do something" I said and then ran up to my room. Leaving him and Katie downstairs.

Brad's P.O.V

=================================================

 "What's wrong with him?" I asked Katie right after Norrie suddenly came back to her room. "I don't know. So what are we gonna do?" Katie asked enthusiastically. Actually, Katie's not the reason why I came here, I decided to tell Norrie what I really feel but it's quite obvious that it won't happen today since she pretty much avoided me.

 "We can just hang" I said and then we both sat on the couch, a few moments have passed and then Katie got up and went to the kitchen. Suddenly, my phone rang and when I opened it I saw a text from Norrie.

 It says "I'll explain everything later". I just sighed, what's going on with her?. Katie returned after a few minutes and we ate snacks. I decided to leave earlier since I can feel that she's a bit clingy today and that's the main reason why we didn't get pass the best friend status.

 "Hello what's wrong?" I asked Norrie as soon as I left their house. "Uh I'm leaving" she said through the phone, but judging by her cracking voice, I can feel that it's something much deeper than that. She just cried.

 "Leaving? where are you going?"

 "Home"

 "Norrie, I have to tell you something" I uttered.

 "What?" she asked

 "I think I like you" I said but then silence followed and the call ended. What just happened? Why did she ended the call?

Norrie's P.O.V

====================================

 I think my heart just stopped right at that moment, I can't believe what I just heard. Brad likes me?. "Oh My God" I thought to myself as I realized things just gotten more complicated. How can I leave knowing that he likes me back?

 I won't just be breaking my own heart, I'm also breaking his. I closed my eyes and prayed for a sign, I need to know what's the best thing to do.
