21. Let's talk

Y/N's POV

"Exams are finally over! I can finally finally live my life!" I think as I throw the last revision paper into a box to be placed somewhere until next year.

I look around my room, all the papers and revision books had disappeared and a smile spread across my face. I was freeee!!

Ahh

With the stress of exams finally gone, all my worries of the exams had washed away.

Oh... and a new worry comes back to my mind.

Oli still does not know how or why we broke up! He still thinks I was cheating on him with Callum!

I slap my face with my hand, "you're such a dummy, you should have discussed this with him earlier! Now he thinks you are a lying, cheating s...tupid face" i say quietly to myself.

I have to talk to him

I look at my sweat pants and baggy shirt, sighing. I'm not going into public to be judged like this. I quickly throw on my "Tokyo" shirt that's covered in drawings on sushi that I love and quickly put on my jeans before throwing on a denim jacket.

I watch one more Dan and Phil video to calm myself down before reluctantly going over to Oli's window.

Oli's POV

I'm lying on my floor, surrounded by materials to build a desk. "I can't do this" I groan to myself. Just then, there's a knock on the window.

I sit up and see Y/N crouching outside my window, I smile at her weakly and gesture for her to open the window to come in. She opens the window and jumps into my room, "hi!" She smiles. "Hey" I reply. Darn it, why did she have to come into my room when my room is a mess with stuff everywhere. Wait, why do I care so much about her seeing my room as a mess? We've known each other since we were born, she's seen my room at my worst... were these feelings I had kept away coming back?

I mean, I'd always liked Y/N, even when we did break up... I'd just tried to keep my feelings to myself and stop loving her... I guess I never did.

"Sooo what's up?" I ask her, smiling at her again. "Does something HAVE to be up for me to visit you, panda?" She asks, giving me a "really, Oli" face. I laugh and shake my head, internally blushing at the fact that she had called me "panda".

We look at each other in silence for a few seconds. She breaks the silence by holding her hands up in a "I surrender" position, "fine, you know me well, something IS up" she says, flopping onto my bed. I walk over and sit next to her, "so what's up" I repeat.

She takes a deep breath, using her hands to cover her face. "I came to talk about... us" she says, hands still covering her face. Us? There's an "us"?

"What about us?" I ask, curiosity making me move closer to her.

"Why we broke up" she replies.

Great. Juuust great. Just when I realise I still have feelings for her, she decides to talk about how we broke up.

Wait... why did we break up?

Suddenly, a wave of anger comes over me. I remembered. She and Callum had kissed and APPARENTLY gone on a date after I had caught her cheating on my with him.

We were silent for a couple more seconds.

"I know you're getting mad at me" she says, "ughh!! I knew I shouldn't have done this, I'm going"

She stands up to leave but I grab onto her wrist, "stay, tell me what you needed to tell me" I tell her, ignoring the hurt I felt when I saw them kissing.

Y/N takes a deep breath

"Iactuallywasn'tcheatingonyou,CallumforcedmetokisshimwhenhesawyoutomakeyouthinkIwascheatingonyouwithhim."
(If you don't know what that said, it reads: "I actually wasn't cheating on you, Callum forced me to kiss him when he saw you to make you think I was cheating on you with him.")

What?

Wait so... Y/N didn't cheat on me?

It was Callum's fault for us breaking up?

Y/N's POV

Oli's expression is unreadable. His eyes are wide and his mouth is hanging open slightly but his fists are clenched and his eyes are sparkling with...tears?

"I... wait... give me a moment" he says, standing up and leaving the room. I sit there, in the empty bedroom and sigh. I should not have done that... it was all in the past, it was forgotten. Then I HAD to bring it up again... I'm so stupid.

"You're not stupid" Oli says.

I look up and Oli had come back into the room.

Did I say that all out loud?

As if he had read my mind, Oli said, "and yes, you had said that out loud"

I sit in silence...

"So... you didn't cheat on me?"

"I guess not"

"So if Callum hadn't kissed you..."

"...we could still be dating now"

"Huh."

"Yep."

After of AT LEAST a minute it awkward silence, I stand up. "I should definitely leave now" I mumble, getting up to leave.

As I expected, Oli's hand was gripping my wrist and I was pulled back. He spun me around to face him.

I... don't know how to react. Oli is looking into my eyes and I'm looking into his. His eyes flicker to my lips and I continue staring into his beautiful chestnut eyes...

And before I know it...

His lips...

Are opening and closing with sound coming out of them... yes he is talking.

"I should probably start fixing this desk" he stutters, stepping back.

"Yeah you should ha" I half say half laugh, tripping over a piece of desk, I presume, and falling onto the floor.

Oli bursts into laughter while I sit on the floor, having still not fully digested what had happened. He lifts me back up and says, "I'm scared you're gonna fall out of the tree when you climb back to your room, why don't you stay with me and help me fix my desk"

I laugh and nod my head, eagerly, moods changing immediately.

<time skip>

"Where does this piece go?"

"The instructions are right there"

"Oh"

<time skip>

"What do I do with this?"

"You put it ther- just read the instructions"

<time skip>

"What about this p-"

*rustling noises of instructions being thrown across the room*

<time skip>

And finally it was done, the desk Oli had bought had erm put together by Oli and me. "Good job, panda" I say, clapping him on the back. "Good job, lioness" he replies , ruffling my hair.

I don't really mind that now :)
