Barely Legal. [Milex]

Wrong Side Of Life

When Jules, Damon and I got to my house we ran upstairs before my mom could put one word out there. There was no time for that.

I wanted to talk to them at school but it was a very busy day and we couldn't find a spot where we were all alone.

I wasn't sure about telling what happened to Damon, but I learned my lesson about keeping secrets from him. He was also my best friend, I couldn't treat him differently. He had been nothing but nice and transparent to me so why shouldn't I trust him?

"Alright, spill it," Julian said.

Dames and I were sitting on the floor, looking up at Jules who was sitting on my desk chair.

"Okay, uh..." I started, trying to remember everything that happened. "So, on Saturday I- I did shrooms with Noel and Liam."

"What?!" Damon shouted.

"Bro!" Julian said with a confused expression.

"What the fuck, mate? How did that happen?" Damon screamed.

"Shh!" I said, covering Damon's loudmouth. "I was going mad at Alex's flat because he hadn't sent me anything, so I thought maybe that could help me get my head out of it."

"Did it work?" Jules asked me in a sarcastic tone.

"Yeah, actually," I smiled. "There were a lot of feelings going on and Noel helped me understand them."

"How did he help you?" Damon asked.

I shrugged. "He just held me and told me everything was gonna be alright."

"That's not helping," Julian laughed.

I rolled my eyes slapped his leg. "Well, it helped me."

"And... what was your trip about?" Damon said trying to sound nonchalant. I knew he just wanted to know if I thought about him.

"A lot of things. I forgot a lot of it, though. But it was mainly reflective, about Alex and I's relationship. It's like I realized that I'm becoming a little obsessed with him... like I was before we started dating. I mean I should give him some space, let him do his thing without having to worry about me. And I've tried but I don't think I've tried hard enough. In the end, he'll always call and he'll always text so there's no reason for me to be such a crybaby.''

''Okay... that's good buddy,'' Damon said before laying down on my bed.

''Yeah... I'm glad you figured that out,'' Said Jules, turning around to look through my stuff.

I laughed, they were clearly hoping for something more exciting. After some seconds of silence, I started thinking... Should I tell them?

''Uh, there was another thing. Nothing to do with my trip though.'' I said before I changed my mind.

''What?'' They both said at the same time.

''I-I... I kind of became friends with Liam and Noel... I mean we were friends before with Noel but, I don't know, I think we really like each other.'' As I talked I didn't realize I was staring at my wall, just thinking about that night, about Noel...

''Oh my, our little Miles is in love,'' Damon said mockingly.

''No, I'm not! I just feel like we have a special connection.''

''Sure... Hey, Dames! Miles loves Noel.'' Julian laughed, making Damon giggle. Big pricks, I knew I shouldn't have told them.

''Alright, fuck off. I'm not telling you anything ever again.'' I said standing up from my spot on the floor.
