34|Don't you feel the same?

Stella

The clock ticking was the only sound that could be heard as the three of us sat in scilence.

After minutes of not conversing Hudson is the one to say something, "I'll leave you two um..alone"

"No, no um..I could leave" Shay suggets picking up her bag.

"No, it's fine, really...I should be going anyway..." Hudson says. I really didn't want him to leave but he had to before my mom got back.

I get up to hug Hudson and he slides an arm around my waist before kissing my cheek, "I'll call you later"

"Okay" I softly answer letting him go so he could walk out of the house.

After he leaves Shay and I are back in scilence until, "Did you uh..did you tell him?"

I suddenly felt guilty. Shouldn't I have told him.

"Yes..yes I did..I wasn't aware it should be uh..kept a secret" I say before clearing my throat.

"I wasn't aware you two were together.." She says.

"Not many people do" I tell her. "And I would really appreciate it if you kept it that way Shay..please?"

"I'll keep your secret Stella, like you kept mine..I owe you that much"

"Thank You" I tell her.

"So..am I an idiot?" Shay forcibly laughs.

"For what?"

"Wanting you" She says, I'm a bit taken back because I didn't expect Shay to still continue her persuit.

She makes me nervous when she moves from her seat on the sofa to sit beside me,"Why can't you see how much I like you Stella"

"Shay..I-I honestly don't know how to sy this but-"

"You don't feel the same?" She finishes.

I nod. I really wished I had felt the sane way because I didn't want to hurt her, plus I had Hudson who I already promised myself to.

"You don't see yourself changing your mind in the future.."

"Well....no?" I reply.

"You don't sound so sure" She says.

I get up walking towards the kitchen. I don't sound sure because she's making me nervous. I wanted her to leave.

"At least give me a chance Stella, please" She replies.

I got fed up with this conversation, I had to tell her, "You left me with him Shay, with Asher, you guys are friends...I'm sure you know what he did"

"I haven't seen Asher since that night at the party..what happened Stella?"

She's bringing back old memories and I hated it. "Please, leave" I tell her.

"Stella-"

"Shay...go!" I look her in the eyes and say to her. She picks up her school bag before exiting my house. I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding when I heard the front door shut.
