Eyes on You

Chapter 14

You are happy. You are happy coz everything seems to be in order, just like how you sorted them out. Your friendship with F/n is pretty good too. You spend lots of time together, exchanging stories from past events. F/n even told you about her feelings towards Patrick, and was very worried to share it with you. But you assure her that it is fine by you. In fact, you ship them a lot. That makes F/n giggles and blushes to herself. As for you, you explain to her about the whole situation and the deal you made with Brendon. F/n thought that the feelings shared between Brendon and you was mutual at first. Turns out, it's not serious. It was simply a friend helping a friend out.

What you don't realize is how wrong you've been about Brendon. F/n also shouldn't only listen from your side. Who says Brendon is just toying around with your feelings? He's fucking in love with you as well. He is just bad at admitting his feelings; really bad at it. He loves you as much as you loved him. You're a problem too. So blind to see how much he likes being around you, secretly enjoying your company. Who knows, sometimes he would just make excuse by asking for your help so that he could meet you. & one more thing you don't know about him is, how eager he'll be waiting to help you out; like right now. But of course, being an ego-ass he is, he won't show it, especially in public.

According to the timetables exchange between you two, it's time for him to 'escort' you to your next destination. So he comes out of his last class, a bit in a hurry, which leaves Dallon and his other friends in confusion. Brendon walks along the hallway and spots you at your locker. A smile forms on his face, then he approaches you, "Ready to go?" He gives you that famous grin of his. "Oh hey, Brendon. I almost forgot. Umm, go where?" "Your next class? Come on, we need to get out of Patrick's sight." His hands are on top of your shoulders now, shoving you a bit to make you start walking. "Oh yeahh, about that..." You remove his hands from you, then hold them for a bit moment before letting go. "I...don't think I'll be needing your help for that anymore." You give him a small smile. Brendon looks at you, confused. "Well, you see, me & Patrick get along pretty good. He won't be much of a bother now. He even ended up dating F/n! I'm so happy for them!" You laugh a bit as you ended your sentence. "Oh..." was the only thing that came off his mouth. "I need to go now. They probably are waiting for me. Oh, but don't hesitate to ask for my help okay? The deal is still on." You told him as you start walking away from the lockers, away from him.

There stood Brendon. He feels as if the whole world has shut him down. He just watches you go away, far away from him. He didn't understand. Where did he go wrong? What is it that's still not enough? To him, what you said just now literally means 'I don't need you anymore. You may go away from my life.' That's why it impacts him that much. His heart broken to pieces. At first, he feels very sad inside. But that feeling is then replaced with anger, rage, and mad. He hates you for 'rejecting' him. He then left the place while stomping his feet. Everyone around is a bit shocked to see him left the hallway like that. Why things between you and Brendon are sooo complicated?? If only both of you confess and admit the feelings for each other, none of this misinterpretation would happen. Brendon is a hot tempered person, and couldn't think straight sometimes. He really shouldn't be thinking of you meaning it that way. As for you, you shouldn't have making your own guess about Brendon just using you for his own selfishness.

You both fall for each other. But ego has takes over the best of you two; especially Brendon. Oh, the agony. If you know what the future holds for you towards the end of your school year, you would probably be scared right now.
