Mini a/n before the chapter my dudes.
This chapter has some juice in it. Not smut or anything, just some secretive stuff that should be left a secret *cough cough* AdAm *cough cough*
Well, technically it's my fault since one writing it 😂.
Anyway, just a warning
Possibly a trigger warning.
Also, language in this chapter.
Thanks!~Tori


Adam's POV
When I called y/n yesterday, I wanted to hang out. Ever since I introduced her to James, both of them have hung out together. I barely ever hear from them anymore. It's starting to worry me.
Both of them were my best friends
Both of them were all I had.
But now that they met
Everything has changed.
When me and y/n do talk, it's mostly about James.
I don't mind talking about that, but what she doesn't know is that I've had a crush on her since we were kids. My heart hurts from her smile when I see her. I know she doesn't like me, she likes James. I had always hoped she would have feelings for me, but she doesn't. I guess I have to accept this aching pain in my stomach when I see her. Or when I hear her laugh or sing.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. My heart raced, every time my phone buzzes, I think it's y/n. I get excited, only to be let down.
Jenna had messaged me.
(If you don't remember, Jenna is your best friend from the beginning. I wanted to use her more... (-: ....)
Jen: Hey Adam.
Adam: Hey Jen. What's up?
Jen: Nothing really. Just wanted to.... Talk.
Adam:... Okay... What about?
Jen: Things.
Adam: I swear if this is another one of your pranks...
Jen: Its not. I just wanted to know how you feel about me..
I was surprised by this message. I didn't think she would ask me something like that. Normally she is a rather cheery and happy person. She was never serious.
Adam: What do you mean?
Jen: are we only friends?
Adam: Jen, you know how I feel about y/n...
Jen: But she likes James...
Adam: I know.
Jen: Could I Skype you later?
Adam: Yeah, sure.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. back before y/n and I had met, me and Jenna were best friends. I had the tiniest crush on her, but I doubted she ever returned it. But now, I'm not so sure. Had she liked me before? I wasn't sure. I'm only confused now.
Damn, my brains a mess.

James POV
Last night I had a horrible time trying to sleep.
What was I thinking?
I was going to confess then and there! Why did I even start talking?! I knew I would mess it up. I always do. I don't know what I was feeling either. I only met her a couple of days ago. I couldn't have developed feelings for her already. Could I? No, I couldn't have. Even if she gives me butterflies and makes my heart flutter. Even if she makes me smile when I'm even thinking of her. No, this could not possibly be love.

I unlocked my phone and decided it was time to get out of bed. Even if I had only gotten a limited amount of sleep, it wasn't like I could stay in bed all day.
Before I could get up, I got a !message from Adam.
Adam: do you and y/n want to hang out later today?
We hadn't made plans, so I was happy Adam had asked. I immediately typed a "yes" and hit send. Today was going to be great, or so I thought.

*****a few hours later*****

I drove over to y/n's house to pick her up. She told me she would come. As I pulled in, I saw her door open and a smile curved on my lips. I was excited to be near her again.
We were talking a goofing off the whole ride there. When we pulled up, there was a car I had formally recognise.
It was Jaiden's.
My smile faded, Adam never said she would be here.
I pushed it passed me, I'm over her. I have to be.
We walked up to the door and with a swift knock, the door was opened by Adam. He was smiling at us.
We walked in and sat down on the couch. I wasn't sure if I should break the silence of not, so I stayed quiet.
A few minutes after walking in, Jaiden entered the room. I refused to make he contact and occasionally wouldn't talk to her. I didn't want to risk something coming out that shouldn't.

"So, this is y/n?" She said with a smile.
" Yeah. You must be Jaiden. " y/n said back.
I wondered what was going through her head after what I told her about Jaiden. She was smiling, but I still wasn't sure.
"Yep, that's me." Jaiden's smile faded. I didn't realise how close me and y/ n were. Maybe that's why no one was talking. However, I wasn't making any effort to move over.
Jaiden sat down next to Adam, probably to avoid me. We started talking about little things that had been happening. I wasn't sure what to talk about since my mind wasn't fully on the conversation. I kept zoning out at random times in my thoughts. Y/n would have to tap me on the shoulder for me to listen again.

When I finally started enjoying myself, Adam started a serious subject.
"So, y/n. Do you still like..... You know who?"  He asked.
Who are they talking about?
Is it me?
She confessed, but I doubt that it was true.
It can't be me.
"Y-Yeah..... Why?" Adam glanced over at me for a few seconds before answering. " No reason. I was just curious. " Behind his smirk, I could tell he was hiding something.
Did he have feelings for her?
Well why would it matter anyway?
She doesn't like you, and you don't like her.

"So James, who do you like?" I heard Jaiden say. I gulped .
Do I like y/n?
