Eyes on You

Chapter 13

A/N : This chapter doesn't involve Brendon that much. Please don't be mad :D

"Well, umm..." Patrick starts, but he stops mid sentence. You wait eagerly for him, wondering what it is about. "I-it's about F/n." You're surprised to hear that. Why F/n? Does she has something to do with all these messes? "What about her?" You ask Patrick, interested in the mentioning of F/n. "She, umm... She c-confessed something." "Just tell me, Patrick." You put your hand on top of his, reassuring him that it's fine to talk about it. Plus F/n is the closest friend of yours. You really need to know this. Patrick let out a tiny relieved sigh. "She told me that she has feelings for me." Your jaw drops open now. F/n likes Patrick? Why hasn't she said anything about it? Oh yeah, you almost forgot. That's because you're too fucking busy in your own happy world with Brendon that you fail as a friend to F/n. Poor F/n. She just needs someone to talk about random things. Basically anything. You feel bad right now. You want to meet her as soon as possible, to catch up with things you missed about her.

But for now, you need to settle things up with Patrick first. "So, what did you say?" Patrick keeps quiet for a bit before he continues, "I'm just as surprised as you were just now. Hahaa..." You both share a little laugh. "But I just be honest with her. I mean, I had feelings for you, & I'm pretty sure that she knows that. So I told her that I don't know what to say." Patrick plays with his fingers, eyes looking down. You stay silent and watch him. He looks so cute right now, like a very shy child. You can already imagine that F/n and Patrick would make a cute couple. Then he looks up at you again. "But, I think I've made my mind. I wanna give a chance for this." Says Patrick while gesturing to the whole situation.

You smile at him, a very sincere smile. Then you take both of his hands, "I like that. I'm rooting for you and F/n. Go for it." Patrick beams with happiness. "T-thank you." was the only thing he managed to say. You both then decide that it's time to go home. You leave the table and share a friendly hug with Patrick. You even told him that he has all your support and wish him good luck before you start walking back. But suddenly the guilty feeling come and haunt you again. How long has it been since the last time both of you sit together and just enjoy the company of the others? You have no idea. Your mind is busy making up plans and stuff while you walk.

* the next day at school *

F/n is at her locker now, getting stuff for the first class that day. As she closes her locker door, she is greeted by your figure, which surprises her so much as she wasn't expecting that. "Fuck! Oh gosh, it was just you. Don't do that!" F/n is putting a hand on her chest now, trying to even out her breathing. You stand there, not saying anything, just a cheeky smile on your face as your hands are holding something. "What's that?" F/n moves closer to get a better view of it. It's a small cake with something written on it - 'Sorry'. F/n looks at you with an eyebrow raised. So you start, "F/n,...I know I've been a really bad friend lately. I was sooo into Brendon, and not realizing that you are much more important to me. I mean, you've always been by my side, and Brendon...well, I'll save that story up for later. Plus, I don't think he loves me like how the rumors told. So,... Forgive me?" You finish the last sentence, feeling a bit timid.

F/n looks at you with a blank expression. Then one of her hands goes straight to hit you by the arm. "OW. What was that for?!" Your arm hurt a bit now. Then F/n gives you a big hug. It's your turn to be surprised now. Then she let go of you, "Come on, we got lots of things to catch up." She smiles at you, and you return the smile as well. F/n being F/n, she drags you by the arm. "The cake! Careful please, geez..." Then both of you laugh out loud.
