At this point, the flash had nothing on me in this car.

I sped down the highway, Tints by Anderson .Paak playing softly in the background.

I could hear my name being called but it sounded so distant, I could feel someone touching me but I could barely feel the pressure.

"Y/N" Normani abruptly yelled simultaneously turning off my music.

I turned to look at her and took one hand off the steering wheel, pressing play on my phone then looking back on the road. I turned the music down a bit since I could tell she wanted to talk to me.

"Y/n what the hell was that out there ?" The tone she was talking in wasn't necessarily soothing.

I sighed and leaned on my left hand that was on the window, making sure to slow down since I didn't feel like paying a ticket right now.

"There are things about my life you don't know and you might not ever find out until I'm sure I can tell you, only Billie knows. Not saying I don't trust you but you can never be too careful" I looked at her hoping she would understand.

I could tell she wanted to ask me more but she finally nodded waiting for me to continue.

"Chicago told me that the people who did it to him weren't randoms that they were actually people from school so of course I wanted to go help and find who did it but then he got mad at me and called me selfish and said he hated me" I rolled my eyes as I pulled into my driveway.

I didn't feel like getting out so I just turned the car off and sat there.

"You know he doesn't hate you, he probably just said it because he was angry"

I simply nodded and looked out the window, I truly did not believe her but she didn't need to know that. I was only with her because I didn't want my mom to be stressed out on me.

"You just...you d-don't know what we've been through and to know that's how he feels just breaks my heart" I could feel the hot tears about to fall again but I held them back.

She gripped my chin and turned my face so we were eye to eye.

"Y/n he does not hate you, He loves you and I'm sure he didn't mean it. Now of course I don't know what you've been through but I know whatever happened brought you guys closer. Don't let this little thing break you guys apart" I let her words sink in but still didn't dare utter a word.

"Okay ?" I nodded as I looked into her dark brown eyes.

"Okay" I softly replied.

We sat in silence, her hand still gripping my jaw. I took the time to analyze our situation and how there was barely any space between us.

The only thing between us was the console and even at that our faces were still very close.

I saw her eyes flicker to my lips and involuntary, my eyes did the same with hers.

She suddenly cleared her throat and retracted her hand.

"I'm uh..I'm gonna go in now" She plastered a smile on her face before turning to open the butterfly doors of my car.

This is wrong, I have a girlfriend that I'm happy with.

So why did I so badly want to kiss her ?

After Normani helped me calm down she left.
