My Gay Best Friend...Likes Me...?!?

Chapter 26 (Shane's P.O.V)

~Shane's P.O.V~

I woke up just before my alarm went off and got ready for school. Dad was quiet today but left for work. I had my breakfast and hugged Zach and my mum then left. I still wasn't sure whether I should tell Yasmin or not. The bell had rung and I was waiting outside our form class. The more I thought about it the more unsure I was.

I looked up and saw Yasmin walking over to me but knew if I was going to tell her, here is my chance but then someone blocking her way. Luke. Must he always get in the way? What was I thinking? I was going to look the other way when I noticed Yasmin kept looking at me. It felt as if she wanted to talk to me, Luke was getting frustrated because Yasmin wasn't listening to him.

Luke waved his hands in front of her trying to get her attention but she was still looking at me. She eventually turned her attention to him but it looked like she didn't want to be there. Mrs had come and opened the door, she was looking at Yasmin and was about to call her.

"I'll get her." I said. She nodded and I walked over to Yasmin. I walked over to them and heard Luke say. "I really think we could have something." from what I gathered before I joined be barely talked to her. I wasn't going to let him mess with her feelings.

"You're only saying that because you don't like her spending time with me." I said standing beside Yasmin. She looked up at me and relaxed. "Yasmin come on Mrs Turner's waiting by the door." I smiled at her. I saw her blushing, she looked adorable. It hurt that she must be blushing for him. 

"I'll be right there." She smiled back. I figured she wanted to be alone with him but I didn't want to leave her side. Luke smirked at me but I just looked the other way. I walked slowly to make sure I could still hear them.

"In a way he is right, look I don't mind being friends but we both know I'm not the girl for you." I heard Yasmin say. Ouch that had to hurt. I didn't bother listening to their conversation anymore. So she doesn't like Luke anymore? Now I knew I had a chance. She walked over to me and I smiled at her and we walked into form together.

"So what did Luke want?" Sasha asked interested.

"He wanted me to spend break with him, but I told him I'll be with you guys. I also told him to stop messing with my head and that we could only be friends." She replied taking a breath.

"Good, you deserve better." I said, his smile grew. I noticed her blush, I loved that I made her blush, but what did it mean? We talked for a while then we had English.

In English, we mostly did our assignments. I sat next to her but I was still contemplating whether I should tell her or not. English went by in no time and we had maths. I was finding it really easy now that I knew what was happening. I waited by the door while she spoke to Mrs. This is my chance. I was going to say something but the others had come and we went to our area. Damn, it's like no one wants me to tell her.

I listened while they talked. I noticed Yasmin was really quiet today, something didn't feel right. I started to get worried and was going to ask her but then she and Aisha got up. I figured they wanted some alone time and stayed with the others. Time passed and Yasmin still wasn't back. I was about to get up to find her when I saw her walking back with Aisha.

Aisha told us they were talking about her granddad and we let it be, but I still felt like that wasn't the case. Yasmin and I walked down to our class, I guess she'll tell me if she wants to. I helped her throughout lesson and in no time, we were in Spanish. It was now lunch, I was walking with Yasmin when her phone rang. I watched her walk away from the group and answered it, believe me I wanted to listen but didn't in the end. I saw one of our tutors held in her direction and walked up to them leading them away from her.

By the time I got back she had already hung up and smiled at me but I saw worry in her eyes. Time passed and we were walking to mine. She told me this would be our last tutoring session since I was doing so well. So that's why she was upset. I was too, but I smiled at her making her smile too. I'll still see her in school. I was glad dad wasn't home. She tutored me and by 6 pm She walked home. I was going to walk her home but dad's car had just arrived and he didn't look happy.

Zach was asleep in mums room and mum was trying to stop him. He slapped her and then shut the door putting a chair in front. I tried to get them out but he kicked my side making me stumble into my room.    

"This is all your fault!" Dad yelled. I lost count of how many times he hit me, but at least I knew mum and Zack would be safe for now. I had to stay strong for them. "If it wasn't for you I would have had it all. I despise you and that brat. I should have pushed that bitch down the stairs when she was pregnant with you. You all were a mistake. Taylor is my only son. Now because of your stupidity and your big mouth I know they are going to be on my case again! You're going to pay for what you've done!" Dad screamed at me full of rage. my heart pounded and every muscle hurt. I didn't notice the door open and it took a while to recognise the voice.  

"Leave him alone, you only have yourself to blame." It hissed. Once I recognised the voice I was taken back. what the hell is she doing she can get hurt! I looked up at her and was surprised to see this side of her, she was fuming at dad. I tried to hide my injury's from her but she had already saw. It looked as if she wasn't going to back down. I had to do something I wasn't going to let her get hurt because of me.

"If you know what's good for you, you'll leave and not come back." I heard her warn looking straight at dad. I could tell it only made him angrier. 

"And what are you going to do?" He laughed mocking her.

"Yasmin don't." I barely managed, I still ached all over. I tried to get around dad. Dad's attention snapped back at me, but I wasn't scared of him.  

"Shut up!" He screamed at me. He stopped me from getting up and pushed me back to the floor. "As for you, I'm going to make sure you learn your place once and for all." Shit. It took all the strength I had left but I managed to stop him from getting to her.

"I wouldn't to that if I was you. I have everything you said and did on record, it's backed up on my phone and there is a backup on a friend's phone, if I was you I would leave now. Don't test me." I barely heard her challenge him. He looked at me in rage, but I showed no emotion. "Now!" Hissed Yasmin more firmly and sternly. Her bravery really impressed me and I wished I was the one protecting her and not the other way around. Dad stormed out the house and shut the door after him. I relaxed a little knowing we were safe for the time being. I couldn't look at her but I was grateful.

I tried not to groan in pain, she helped me on the bed. My eye's closed and I drifted off to sleep. I woke up at some point thinking dad had come back but realised it was Yasmin. She cleaned as much of my wounds as she could and put the covers over me. She sat on the bed I was falling back asleep but I could have sworn she kissed my head and whispered I love you. I fell back asleep with a smile.
