Love Complications Book 1

Chapter 15

Piper P.O.V

I leave class walking out with Zara and Alyssa.

"So give us five minutes we'll make sure he's at the bench and you can talk to him."

I nod as butterflies rise in my stomach and make me feel nauseous.

Alyssa puts her hand on my back.

"It's gonna be fine just breathe."

The two of them hardly went to the bench anymore, I felt bad for them. I feel like because of Chris and I they had also lost friends. Especially Alyssa who hardly saw Mark. We had been spending our days sitting in the library.

I look at my phone as 2 minutes pass, I stand at the door nervously tapping my foot trying to calm myself down.

3 minutes. Can I actually do this? Is it to late to back down? What if he doesn't come to the wedding does it really matter?

4 minutes. Damn it my legs start to move as I push the door open I look at our bench the gang are all sitting there. Thankfully his back is towards me. I slowly walk up to the bench, I look up and Zara and Alyssa spot me and they nudge the boys and they also see me. They all get up and grab their bags and leave.

"Hey where you all going?" Chris shouts as he sits there.

He bends down to pick up his bag.

"Chris." I say softly.

"Yeh?" he turns round and looks at me.

"Piper. Fuck! Shit are you okay?"

I look in his eyes and he has dark circles under his eyes, it doesn't look like he's been having much sleep either.

"Can we talk?" I quickly interject before he stands up.

"Yeh course."

I sit opposite him on the bench as he sits back down.

He looks in to my eyes, I can tell he looks tired. His face had a light stubble on it. I don't know how but he somehow looked sexier than before.

"Piper." He says quietly and I snap out of my thoughts.

"Sorry." I shake my head.

"What did you want to talk about?"

I pause before speaking.

"Actually I was speaking to Zara and Alyssa yesterday and they were talking about helping the guys with clothes for the wedding."

I pause again to see his reaction, he just stares at me intently listening.

"They mentioned that you weren't coming?"

"Ohhhh.." I can see his face drop, it wasn't the conversation he thought we would be having. But he doesn't say anything and looks up at me with his blue eyes.

"I thought it would be best, I don't want to mess up your mums big day and stuff. I also don't want to make you feel awkward." He adds.

I look at him for a moment.

"I want you to come." I say with a little smile.

"Piper it's fine. I'm totally fine with.."

"Chris.." I can see his eyes light up as I say his name.

"I know it's been a long three weeks for us but I want you there." I take my hand and place it on top of his hand on the table and squeeze tightly.

"All our friends are going to be there. I can't imagine the wedding without you. Please come for me." I say bravely.

He nods.
