V- Coco

She'd been watching them from afar. Coco excitedly combed her fingers through her short bob and resisted the urge to squeal in happiness at the sight of Gabe and Lana locking lips passionately.

Finally, she thought, Gabriel had grown the balls to kiss Lana – to tell her how he felt about her.

She nudged her boyfriend – Benjamin – in the ribs, and pointed in the direction of their lovesick friend.

“He did it, Benny!” she stated enthusiastically, and bounced up and down on her bar stool. Ben - who stood beside her near the bar - had a perfect view of what was going on in the dark hallway. His eyes managed to make out two distinct figures. Benjamin hissed out a breath and wolf-whistled, nodding his head in approval.

It was about time Gabriel told the girl how he'd felt about her. He'd pinned over Lana ever since they were all in kindergarten. In all honesty, Ben was getting tired of Gabriel's nonchalant attitude towards the subject. He'd come close plenty of times to just march up to Lana and tell her how his best friend felt about her. At least Gabriel saved Benjamin from having that talk with her.

“Looks like our little Gabby is growing up,” he humoured and chuckled at his own joke. His girlfriend's attention was still on the happy couple in the corridor and she was clapping her hands happily. Benjamin took a long swig of his beer and leaned down to nuzzle Coco's neck with feathery kisses.

She giggled in return and planted a long, hard kiss on her boyfriend's lips when she saw that he was getting irritated with the lack of attention she was giving him.

It was only when she'd pulled away from him and shifted her gaze elsewhere on the dance floor did she see something that had her heart clenching painfully inside her chest.

Noah.

He stood there, directly facing the dark hallway – no doubt having an even better view of the two lovebirds. His face was twisted into a painful grimace and she'd realize then that it was because of Lana.

Noah liked her just as much as her best friend Gabe did. He squeezed his eyes shut and pivoted on his heels, before angrily storming off.

However, Coco had been the only one to catch the heart-wrenching look that eased across his face before he'd bolted out of the room.

She gasped and placed a hand on her rapid beating heart. “Oh, no,” she murmured lowly.

Her heart ached for Noah Fletcher.
