Stay Away From My Friends (sequel to bulletproof love)

chapter 13

Megan's POV - few days later

I've been out of hospital for 2 days now and all I've done is sleep, I can't leave the house without supervision and I have no energy to either so I'm stuck at home. I'm sitting at home, in bedroom with Jake and Matt because they came to visit me after school. I'm not allowed to go back to school yet because everyone thinks I need some time off, so do the doctors but the guys bring me the homework round so I don't fall behind in my lessons.

"So..how's Finn?" I finally asked. Finn hasn't came to see me once since he ran out of the hospital couple of days ago and I miss him. It's not my fault that I never saw Finn in that way but it doesn't mean he can avoid me for it. I just want him to come round so we can talk about it.

"He's fine" Jake said like he does everyday, everyday they come round I ask the same question.

"Why is he ignoring me?" I whined.

"Look, he's just upset.. you blew him off when he admitted he liked you so he's going to be a little embarrassed to see you!" Jake explained. I bowed my head in shame.

"I didn't expect it that's all, I just didn't know what to say!" I replied.

"He's liked you for years, everyone knew except you, you were completely oblivious to it all" My eyes widened in shock, he's liked me for years?

"For years?" I asked shocked.

"Yeah, for years and he's never had the guts to tell you till now!" Jake said. Now I felt really bad. To be honest I've always thought Finn was attractive but I never went there because he was my bestfriend but.. arghh this is all so confusing!

"Please can you tell him to come over so we can talk? I miss him and I just want to sort everything out but him not coming to see me isn't helping!" I said. Both guys sighed.

"Okay, I'll text him now" Matt said. I nodded and smiled, hopefully he'll come over, "don't get your hopes up though, he's stubborn and you know that" He added. I knew what he meant, Finn very stubborn and won't be told things

"I know but just tell him I begged!" I said. He chuckled and said okay.

A few minutes later after Matt sent the text, his phone buzzed and he picked it up and looked at the message he had just received.

"He agreed to come over now" He said. A massive smile grew on my face.

"Really?!" I smiled. He nodded. I'm felt so happy that he's agreed to see me, I just want to sort everything out.

"I guess we'll go and leave you to it" Jake said.

"Okay and thanks for this you guys, I'm happy I have you both back" I smiled. They smiled back, both hugged me tightly then left. I sat quietly on my bed just enjoying the silence. I liked being alone most of the time but I like having company, it keeps me sane when I have someone else around. A loud knock on the door snapped me out of my trace and shocked me. I stood up and ran downstairs to open the door before anyone else did. I stopped once my hand grabbed the door knob, what was going to happen? I took a deep breath and opened the door to see Finn standing there awkwardly.

"Come in" I said with a warm smile. He placed his hands in his front jean pockets and walked in. I then walked upstairs and heard his footsteps closely behind mine. I walked into my bedroom and sat on my bed. Finn just stood in the doorway awkwardly.

"You can sit down ya know?" I chuckled. He laughed too but it seemed forced which I furrowed my eye brows at, why can't things be simple? He sat next to me on the bed and an awkward silence fell in the room. I sighed and spoke up.

"I'm sorry Finn" I said. He looked at me confusedly.

"Why are you sorry?" He asked.

"The guys told me about how long you've liked me and it's not fair for you that I just blew you off like that!" I explained feeling guilty. I don't know why I felt so guilty but I just did.

"They told you?" He asked looking slightly shocked. I just nodded my head in response. He sighed and and looked down at his lap.

"Talk to me Finn, we can't sort anything out if you don't talk to me!" I said softly.

"And say what? That I like you and have done for year because you already know that!" He shouted slightly. He burst of anger shocked both me and him by the looks of it, "sorry.." He quickly apologised. I sighed and took hold of his hand, he tensed up at first but relaxed quickly after.

"Look, I'm going to be honest with you okay?" I said and he just nodded, "I admit that I find you very attractive and always have" He chuckled at that which made me smile, "but the only reason I never looked at you in that way is because I didn't want to ruin the friendship that we had and I never thought that you'd like me like that because we were such good friends" I explained honesty.

"Are you kidding?! How could I not like you? You're fucking beautiful, you have a great sense of humour, you're talented and you always know what to say to cheer people up" He explained quickly. My eyes slightly widened at what he just said. He really think of me like that? A small smile crept up on my face.

"You really think that?" I asked.

"Yeah.." He nodded suddenly feeling shy. I smiled at him.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I asked curiously. He just shrugged his shoulders.

"I was scared, I didn't know what you're reaction would be and I was scared of you rejecting me but that already happened.." He trailed off. I squeezed his hand slightly and that made him look me in the eyes.

"If you were honest with me from the beginning, things could've be different" I said and he sighed.

"I'm sorry" He said

"Don't be sorry but I've always looked at you as my bestfriend and nothing more" I explained. He looked back down at his lap quietly. What harm could it do if something did happen between us? What would happen if we broke up? I couldn't lose him again, he's too special to me. I had a full of mental debate with myself, maybe I could fall for Finn? I do find him physically attractive and we are very similar in personality so what's so bad? I hooked my finger under his chin and made him face me. His eyes didn't have that sparkle in them anymore, that's my fault. I took a deep breath.

"C-can I try something?" I asked nervously. He looked confused but nodded anyway. I was hesitant at first but I slowly leaned in, it finally clicked in Finns mind and he did the same. We both leaned in until our lips collided. It felt unusual because I'm kissing my bestfriend but it felt nice. I didn't feel the typical fireworks that they say on movies but I felt magical for sure. I slowly wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me. He wrapped his arms round my waist and I smiled slightly into the kiss. Before things got heated I slowly pulled away breathlessly.

"Wow" I muttered under my breath. I didn't expect that.

"That was-um.." He was lost for words. I smiled at him.

"Great?" I finished off his sentence with a smirk.

"Defiantly" He said. Then it went silent again, what now? I felt more confidence in me and sat closer to him.

"I think I'm starting to like you" I admitted. I guess I've always been curious with my feeling towards Finn but never really didn't anything with them but that kissed confirmed it all. A grin was plastered on his face.

"Really?" He asked. I nodded then leaned in and kissed him softly again. He immediately kissed back and we both smiled into the kiss, maybe this could be the start of something new?
