Twenty; Awkward Friendship

Chad's P.O.V.

Aaron and I return from the city and enter the house with filled stomachs and some new clothes. Honestly, the kid is not bad to be around but I do not enjoy being the babysitter whilst (y/n) is out of the house and doesn't even message me to let me know when she will be back. 

As we enter the house she is sitting at the computer. "Aaron, lay our stuff upstairs okay?" He nods and goes while I turn to the girl sitting in the gaming chair. "So, decided to finally come home?" I say, gaining her attention as she turns towards me. 

"Oh I am sorry, didn't hear you come in." She answers with a smile on her face. "Where's Aaron?" 

"Upstairs. I send him there because we need to talk." I say, crossing my arms. She stands up to walk to the kitchen but I grab her arm to stop her. "(Y/n), we need to talk. Now."

She sighs. "I don't see why this can't be discussed over a nice cup of tea." She rolls her eyes after saying that and pries her arm loose before continuing along her way. I follow. "Chad, since when did you become such a serious person?" 

Her question baffles me. I stand in the door opening of the kitchen for a second while I feel myself getting more angry than I want to be, especially since we're talking about getting mad at my best friend here. "When did I become such a serious person?" I repeat her question. "Maybe because someone leaves me alone with a teen to take care of. Someone is out of the house every day and leaves me to deal with everything. Where have you even been? Wait, let me guess. Ryan?" 

"Oh, am I not allowed to visit people anymore." She says, fury in her voice. She turns towards me and looks me in the eyes. I look back, I see her eyes soften and I know mine do too. I step a little closer to her, without realizing what I am doing. A hand sneaks around her waist. She allows me, or at least doesn't stop me. She leans into my figure, sighs and puts her hands behind my neck. Her embrace feels warm and safe. She lifts her head off of my chest and smiles as she looks at me. A small sigh escapes her and I feel a smile grow on my own face.

Unconsciously I lean in closer towards her face. She closes her eyes and suddenly I feel her lips on mine. It takes a few second before I realise what is happening and at the exact same time we both lean back and let go of each other immediately. 

"I... uh... Have that thing I need to do." (Y/n) says quickly, her eyes looking at the ground. 

"Yeah, me too." I say. "But then at the barn." She nods before going  back into the living room. I rush out the door, get into my car and drive off towards the barn. 

The entire drive I can not get her out of my mind. The feeling of her body against mine, her soft lips, the way she smiled at me. I shake my head. This is my best friend, never had I ever felt romantic feelings towards her before. Is it even possible to, so suddenly, feel entirely different about a person. I force my eyes back to the road, realising that I hadn't been paying attention to it at all. 

I arrive at the barn, park the van and get out. To my surprise, someone is standing there. Their back is turned to me but for some reason he looks familiar. The figure turns, showing me Felix. He has a smile on his face and waves as I get closer. 

"Felix, dude, what are you doing here?" I ask him as he also steps closer to me. 

"Could ask the same thing about you." He counters, making me raise an eyebrow in confusion. 

"Bro, I just drove by here and spotted you. Are you okay?" I walk even closer to him, laying a hand on his shoulders. My hand lays itself down on hardened muscle. Whatever the guy did in these few days of absence must've been intense. 

Suddenly he grabs my wrist, twisting it until it cracks. I let out a scream at the feeling. Broken. This dude just broke my damn wrist. I am about to ask him what that was for when he pushes me to the ground. He leans over me, a wicked grin on his face. 

"Where is Ryan?" He asks. 

"At home, I figure." I sputter out. "What is going on, Felix?" 

Instead of answering me, he laughs. He balls his fist and seconds after I feel the impact of it against the side of my head. Everything turns to black and then last thing I hear is my van starting and driving off.
