Chapter 3

I feel my phone vibrating on my side table. 

"ugh" I groan just waking up. 

I grab my phone and look at it and see that I got a text from Flynn. 

It's been almost a week without a word from him, I started to think that he forgot who I was. I unlock my phone and look at the message. 

*Hey sorry I haven't contacted you in so long, I had a lot of family stuff to deal with. I wanna see you, tonight?*

I groan contemplating saying no and forgetting he even existed, but then I start to think of how much he seriously made me feel. He's keeping something from me, but he makes me feel good. 

*Sure, why not hahah.* I reply.

*Ok cool, meet me in the park by the coffee shop at 6?*

*Sounds great.* I respond. I guess we will just have to see what happens. 

I get out of bed and brush my teeth and put some jeans and a top on with a jacket and a scarf texting Paige to meet me at my apartment. We have been getting graduation things prepared all week we just haven't gotten our dresses for after graduation since we were our nursing attire for graduation. 

15 minutes later I hear someone coming in the door. 

"Hey Paige I didn't think you would be here yet." I say turning around the corner to see June.

"Oh hey June, what are you doing here?" I ask. I forgot I gave him a key a little while ago when he was between places and I forgot to get it back. 

"Hey, I was just gonna give back your key and I wanted to see you. I feel like you have been ghosting out on me." he says. 

"Oh gosh no that's not my intention I have just been really busy with graduation and stuff." I say. 

"Stuff as in that guy from the bar, what was his name? Flynn?" he says. 

"Yeah, why do you care?" I ask. He takes a deep breath and pauses sitting down.

"Rayne I have something to tell you and I have been meaning to for a really long time I just didn't want to ruin what we already have." he says. 

"Then don't say it June, I really don't want to hurt your feelings and I think it's best unsaid." I say. 

"See that's the thing, I don't agree. I need to say this, I like you Rayne. I always have and at first I thought it was just me dreaming but I'm not dreaming. I saw you leave with that guy and it made me realize how much I like you, and I know you feel some type of way towards me." he says. 

"Listen June, you know I don't feel that way towards you. Don't take this personally but I have always just seen you as a brother than more than a brother." I say.

"See you are just denying this cause you somehow are just taken by this guy. Do you even know him Rayne? Paige told me you are going to a wedding with him and you just met him a week ago? he says raising his voice.

"Do not get angry at me for how I feel and do not pretend that you know everything and everyone in my life. Maybe it's best you leave June, I don't need this shit in my life." I say. 

He huffs looking at me with disappointment and pain in his eyes and gets up and opens the door and leaves the door open walking out while Paige walks in with wide eyes and confusion written all over her face. 

"I will explain later." I say as we walk back into my room. 

Hours later and a lot of Netflix I look down at my phone and look at the time.
