Chapter 20 (Edited)

I just noticed I got 3k views! Tysm guys! I never thought this book will be enjoyable or that sad 😁 What in the world lol

"I have this feeling in my stomach, I get flustered, and they only happen when you're around," That's weird, I get that feeling when I'm around her too. Wait. My eyes widen when I finally figured out why. I love Bri. And she loves me. Bri sighed and continued "Cory, I love you. But I don't expect you to return the same feelings for me. So, go ahead. Turn back time where you never would have met me. I'd think you'd be happy if I wasn't in your life"

I stared at her for so long without saying anything that Bri looked away from making eye contact with me. I love her, but, I can't tell her. Yet. The reason for that is because, I'm in a confused position right now and I never felt this feeling before. But I can't just say nothing to her, I have to say something that will encourage her to continue being in my life. I need her with me, watching my back at times.

It seemed awkward now. I could tell Bri wanted to leave as she starts backing up a few steps. But I stopped her. "Bri... At all the times, you decide to tell me now? I can't believe you're telling me to–to leave you. But either way, at any time, any situation, I am not leaving you. That will always be my answer and you know it. If I ever left you, I don't know what I'd be doing with my life–"

Bri cut me off "You have your friends. You probably do know what you'd be doing with your own life without me" I shook my head "Sure I have them with me and there always supporting me through my entire life but you– you are different" It was only then that I walked up to her face and cupped it into my hands and wiped away a tear from her face. Although, I did say I didn't want to return the feelings to her just yet but right now is the perfect time.

"At certain times when I try to run away from my problems, you're always there. You know the words that will help me. You know how to react. You know when to keep it a secret. Except for one secret" Bri looked at me confused "What secret was it?" "That you love me" I say smoothly. "Yeah?" "Yeah.." "So... That was it? That was the secret that I didn't keep?" I nod at her question.

"I have my own secret I'd like to tell you" I told her "What is it?" She asked. I never actually pictured myself making the first move. Actually, I'd didn't even plan it. I leaned in on her and placed a kiss on her lips. My hands fell down to my sides and slightly and gentle, placed it onto her hips. Her entire body froze, to startled by my actions, as her eyes went wide. She felt confused thinking that I didn't like her, that I was only a friend to her. But she thought wrong.

She then relaxed and returned the kiss. I broke up the kiss and looked at her as I place my forehead onto hers. "Everything you said... You meant it?" She asked "Course I did. I put my heart and soul into that sentence" I smiled.

Bri backed up from our position and said "You still coming to my party on Friday?" I looked at her with an 'Are-You-Serious' face. "Is that a yes?" Bri assumed "Yup" I replied. "Alright, I'll see you some other time"

When she left, I felt guilty. I don't know why. Was it because I told her how I felt to soon? If that was the case, my brain would start telling me to stop being around her so much and try to avoid her as much as possible. But I didn't want that. Why is it telling me that then? I sighed. "This is why I never wanted to fall in love," I muttered. "Other wise, I'd start having all these stupid ass emotions"

It was all worth it anyways. Bri was just right for me.

Getting back to reality, I wondered where Ashlie and Tommy went. Maybe they saw our conversation and decided to give us personal space and went home. I should probably go home. It's getting late and I had a long day today which made me feel so tired. I put back on the music with my headphones on and walked all the way home.
