Socially Awkward (Zane x Reader) MyStreet

Chapter 25

Sorry for the long excruciating wait, I didn't have time to write any this week and I am just starting today. It might take me a little bit to get back into writing how I used to.

Chapter 25 - Confessing

(Y/N)'s POV

"Zane?" I spoke while Zane was still pulling me through the mall. We passed several stores and people that walked by us were constantly giving us weird looks. "Zane, stop for a minute, people are looking at us." I didn't like the unwanted attention from other people, it was making it more awkward than it should be.

I had no idea what happened in the arcade, I was speechless. I couldn't comprehend anything until Zane pulled me out of there, giving me a little time to think. Zane stopped but still didn't let go of the grip on my wrist. "You have one minute," He said, his voice a bit deeper than normal.

I took the first few seconds to take deep breaths before I started rambling, "What even was that? I have no idea what happened. Do you have something against Travis? He just tripped, what do you mean he did that on purpose? Why does it always seem that it's you two who fight the most? Why do my feelings always interfere with what I do and what I think? Why do I think about you so much? Why does my heart beat rapidly when I'm around you? Why are you the person that I have a crush on?" I stopped, not able to think fast enough to stop myself from saying the last question.

I could see Zane tense up but the grip on my wrist loosened, allowing me to pull my hand out of his grip. I booked it and quickly sprinted out of there with all the strength I had left. 'How embarrassing was that! I wasn't planning on telling him that I liked him at that moment, I was going to wait a bit longer!' I set that aside for the time being and hid inside of Hot Topic, hoping that if Zane was looking for me, he wouldn't look here.

If I could go back home, I would, but I don't have the car keys to drive back home and Aphmau, the person who drove us here, is back in the arcade. I decided to just wander around in the back of the store, looking at the different band, anime, and other themed t-shirts. Even though the store was filled with people and it was hard to think, I couldn't help but wonder about what Zane was doing.

Zane's POV

I froze when she stopped rambling, almost unable to comprehend what she just said. '(Y/N) likes me? Why me? Out of everyone, why would she choose me?' (Y/N) looked as surprised as I was but she ripped her wrist out of my hand and sprinted away, not giving me enough time to respond. Is stood there for a moment, replaying the questions she spoke out loud. 

'What even was that?'  I don't know, I reacted before I could think

'Do you have something against Travis?' Not really, I just had this really bad feeling about him being around you,

'He just tripped, what do you mean he did that on purpose?' He didn't trip, he pretended to trip. If you were with me you could obviously tell that he faked it.

'Why does it always seem that it's you two who fight the most?' I have no idea, I just don't like the thought of him being around you.

'Why do my feelings always interfere with what I do and what I think?' Again, I don't know, it happens to me too.

'Why do I think about you so much?' I have the same problem, I think about you more than anyone else and I have no clue why.

'Why does my heart beat rapidly when I'm around you?' My heart does the same thing! Maybe we should go to the doctor to make sure we're not sick.

'Why are you the person that I have a crush on?'

I had no idea how to respond to her last question. I tried to avoid my feelings as much as I could. My brother told me about love but to think that everyone could experience it, I thought was unbelievable. It takes too much work to continue a relationship and to go out on dates and  buy gifts. You never know what to say or do when you're right there in front of them. But, as much as I tried to throw the feeling away, I couldn't get rid of it. Seeing (Y/N) smile and laugh made it grow even stronger. 

Then, I thought of what Garroth told me. 'This feeling, I know you're not familiar with it, but just go with it. If you don't it will hurt. Just don't let go.'

Aphmau's POV

Everybody was silent as Zane left, dragging a speechless (Y/N) behind him. Everyone was surprised at the sudden outburst Zane had, no one knew that Zane could get that angry at someone before. "I guess that was his breaking point," Aaron murmured next to me.

"Yeah, I guess he kept his feelings for too long," I responded, looking up into Aaron's black eyes. I tore my gaze off him and glanced back at Travis who just stood there with wide eyes, shaking a bit.

"Good work Travis," Lucinda laughed, "You made him furious but you did get the job done."

"R-Really?" Travis stuttered, still trying to recover from what just happened.

"Well our plan was to get Zane to finally break and confess his feelings to her, I'm guessing that's what he is doing right now."

"Y-Yeah," He responded, "I guess."

I still have band camp two days a week but it's not as long and not as painful! That means that I'll have time to write finally! Sorry if this chapter disappointed you, I'm still getting the hang of writing like I used to (A week ago, really. It took me that long to forget how I used to write). I hope all of you have a lovely day (or night) Reader~Chans!
