Real Life - Sequel To GroupChat

(Important a/n at the end)

Anonymous' POV

"Hey, I'm going to bed. Goodnight." She says offering a small wave and small smile.

I can see the sadness writen in her eyes eyes; a sadness everyone is either too blind to see or she's too good at hiding, either way I know it's there.

We all say goodnight and she heads up the stairs and around the corner out of sight.

I sit downstairs with the boys for a few more minutes then say my goodnights and go upstairs.

I stand at the landing for a few seconds before deciding to go to Echo's room - a decision that could go very wrong or very right or not have any impact at all.

I quietly make my way down the hall towards Echo's room, making sure none of the the others hear me.

I slowly open the door amd luckily it doesn't creak. I poke mg head in and see her already asleep, thank god.

I slowly make my way over to the bed and crouch down next to it. I look at her sleeping figure - not in a creepy way, just to see if she's sleeping peacefully.

I sigh and shake my head. "I wish you knew how much I love you." I whisper; not even sure if I had said it out loud or in my mind.

I kiss her head and leave the room, quietly sneaking to my room. Luckily the other guys were still downstairs in the living room and didn't notice me walkimg back to my room.

I curl into a ball on my bed and hold my pillow tight against my chest. "I wish you knew how much I love you." I whispered to myself before falling into a deep sleep wit her at the center of my dreams.

If only she knew.

So this story is sorta cut up into different parts. We just ended the "past" part of the story and by that I mean she finally worked thru the problems of her past and now she's moving on to work on her present/future.

So this is sorta like the start of the middle of the story, the "present" where she figures out what she wants.

So basically its the part of the story where she starts to decide what she wants for her love life.

I asked in the a/n of the last part who you want her to end up with bit im not sure if anyone saw it (bc im writing this before the last part went up) so put who you want her to be with in the comment section and I'll pick who had to most votes (or the lease bc im SpOnTaNeOuS. -🦉
