Drunk & Sober : IN LOVE

Chapter 24

We were all having breakfast together but my eyes moved to Rey and April who were both behaving a bit weird. Rebekah saw me noticing them and she squeezed my hand a bit while she signalled me to chill.

Just then Rey got up from his chair and he went over to April’s side. Everyone looked at them expectantly while he stood behind her chair and rested his hands on her shoulders.

She looked up at him and nodded at him. Rebekah took hold of my hand when she saw me getting tensed.

Rey looked at April one more time before saying, "I…umm sorry. We…we have decided to move in together. We have been looking at apartments for almost a week now and we finally found one that we would like to call home. I am going to sign the lease today and we just wanted you guys to know about this.” Everyone looked at them with a shocked look on their face.

Rebekah was the first one to get up from her seat and congratulate both of them. She hugged Rey while he told her how good it felt to have the both of us back.

Then Austin fist bumped Rey and jokingly said, "So you finally got someone to bear your stupid self. I hope she doesn’t leave you once she realizes what a nut cracked hooman you are!” Everyone congratulated them except me.

I just sat on the chair looking in front of me not knowing what to say. They are so serious about each other and April didn’t even bother to tell me about it.

They are so serious that they are literally moving in together. Like it is such a big thing for a couple to do that.

Does she really believe him enough to just shift her things into an apartment and stay with him? And what if one day he does something that breaks her heart into a million places and she can’t stand him anymore?

I am sure that she has spent all her savings into getting that place and she might not be left with anything considerate. What was she even thinking before taking such a big decision?

Has she thought about it enough? I don’t want her sabotaging her career and her life behind some stupid high school crush.

April looked at me impatiently, waiting for me to say something, say something positive to be precise. I looked at her with a betrayed expression and made my way upstairs to where I supposed was Rebekah’s room.

I sat on the bed shaking my legs nervously while I rested my head in my palms.

Rebekah’s POV:

April had tears in her eyes when Rex left the room as if he was least interested in the big announcement that his best friend just made. I looked at her with a look of sympathy before making my way up to the room where Rex just took off.

As I opened the door it made a creaking sound that made Rex to look up. His eyes were blood red as if he was crying.

I sat beside him and urged him to look at me. “What’s the matter baby?”, I asked him while I placed my hand on his arm in an attempt to calm him a bit.

At this he just hugged me and wailed like a little boy who was refrained to play with his toys. He hugged me for a long time before looking at me and wiping his tears with the sleeve of his t-shirt.

“This was going on from a long time between them and she didn’t even bother to tell me. We had promised to never hide things from each other. And she is literally moving in with him. Like is this really happening? I really think she should have taken some time considering this decision, before acting upon it. It just feels as if she isn’t my best friend April anymore. Because my best friend would never hide things from me, she would never act so immature because of some mere crush who to the best of my knowledge will leave her the day he gets someone better or gets bored of her. They both are just acting in the heat of the moment and they will regret it.” Once he vented out his feelings he took a deep sigh and looked at me before looking out of the window.
