Right in front of me (max and harvey)

Chapter 27

Bexley's POV

"You're not even interested in knowing my side of the story?" I ask him

"I already know it all" he says crossing his arms and frowning

"You know nothing, Mills" I say shaking my head

"Fine, go ahead" he tells me

"So when I left I went somewhere-" I say

He cuts me off "somewhere? You don't want to tell me where or what?"

"It's of none importance, that's all" I shrug. He remains silent but still without looking convinced  "anyhow... so, I left and then came across my childhood best friend and I didn't really have a place to stay and he invited me to stay at his house. That's it."

"That doesn't justify you two sleeping on the same bed, does it? Do you like him? Do you?" He asks me anxiously

"We didn't sleep in the same bed!" I exclaim with a disgusted look on my face "why the hell would I ever do that? With him!"

"So you guys didn't sleep on the same bed? Or more important than that... don't you like him? Not even a little bit?" He asks me

"Logan is just a friend. Really" I state trying to convince him

"Logan" he repeats "So his name is Logan" he says raising his brows

"Yes"

"Logan what? What's his surname?" he asks taking out his phone and opening Instagram

"Harvey!"

"Okay... okay" he says as he puts his phone back in his pocket

"It doesn't matter. I swear. I don't like him. I like you, Mills" I tell him giving him a peck on the lips

Harvey's POV
I believe her when she tells me that nothing happened between her and this Logan kid and I understand he's just a friend of hers. I guess I kinda understand the love he has for her and the love she feels for him as well. I don't really understand why they slept in the same room, yet, I can still kinda work with it. But what I honestly really can't understand is why she didn't trust me enough to tell me what had happened.

"Yeah... okay" I tell her forcing a smile

"Are we cool?" she asks me looking concerned

"Yeah... yeah" I stand up and she looks at me with confusion as to why I'm acting like this. It just hurts to see that she doesn't trust me as much as I trust her "I have something to do. Goodbye" I say walking away without facing her again

I wander the hallways trying to find a place where I can be alone for some minutes. I think I may be overreacting... but I don't know.

I believe her, or at least I want to. But the fact of her liking another guy keeps circling my mind. What if she does feel something for him and she doesn't want to admit it. Or what's even worse, what if she likes him and she's not yet aware of it?

Bexley's POV

"Woah. What just happened with Harvey and... yeah... that!" Hana says walking towards me

"What?" I ask her confused

"I just saw Harvey punching the wall. Then I asked him what was wrong and he told me to go fuck myself!" she says widening her eyes. Then she sits down next to me "alright. Spill"

"You remember I once told you about a guy named Logan? From the town I used to live in before I moved here?" I ask her "I think you met him at my birthday party. When I turned 9"

"Right. Logan. Yep" she answers nodding and looking right and left as if she's trying to remember who he is "wait. Who? What's his user?" she asks me taking out her phone

I take out my phone. I start going through my camera roll and find a pic of him "here" I tell her handing her my phone

She looks at me with amazement "dude, he's so cute!" She says zooming into the picture as if he were going to look better by doing that

"Ew. Don't call him cute, it's weird" I respond taking my phone off her hands

"Do I smell jealousy?" she says smirking

"No way! He's just... a friend. That's it" I assure

"hold up. Why do you have a picture of him in your camera roll, though?" she says narrowing her eyes and tilting her head "is that why Harvey's jealous? Because you have some pictures of Logan in your camera roll? Is that why he's mad? Oh my god! Such good tea! Woo! High five!" She exclaims raising her hand almost screaming at the top of her lungs

I give her a disgusted look "no, dude. And gee... keep it down, would you? And why are you even excited in the first place? You're acting... strange"

"Hey, if you don't want to take him, I will!" She giggles

"You've got Max. It's not like you're not single!"  I state

"Oh yeah, right. Max..." she answers looking suspicious "Max and I are taking a break" she looks down at the floor and putting her hand on her forehead

"What? Why?"

"Things have been really..." she sighs "tense between us. It's not working out. And I-I want it to work out. I really really like him. And I just don't know what to do anymore!"

"Oh um..."

"We've been fighting over everything. He doesn't want to be near me anymore. He pushes me away!" She starts speaking with a knot in her throat "I want it to be okay again!"

"Wow, it all really does suck now, huh?" I chuckle

"What?" She says wiping a tear from her cheek

"I mean, look, you always have such luck! How? And then the most minimum inconvenience happens and you start acting like the world is going to end or something! Meanwhile, I've had many problems during the past months and you're not even here to listen to what I say! You're always too busy with your boyfriend to talk to me!" I say starting to speak really fast because of how desperate and mad I am "And I've been having to choke on my own problems because no one wants to listen to me. However, you don't see me crying or begging for help and now this happens and there you go... overreacting!" I rage shaking my hands like a crazy person "geez! Hana, would you allow me to tell you my problems without you making it all about yourself for once?"

"But you asked..." she responds with tears rolling down her cheeks

"Shush, Hana, shush" I tell her as I leave
