Chapter Six: Confessions

(We are back to Y/n's POV)

I push the door bell which causes Irene to freak out. I wonder why.... Does she not like her parents? Or are they terrible people. I don't wait to find out so I dash away from the house and wave goodbye to Irene.

Something's not right...... I can just feel it..

I turn around and see Irene not entering her house but turning away from it. Does she not live there? Why did she lie?

"Where exactly do you live Irene", I asked raising an eyebrow in a serious tone.

Her eyes widened when she saw me standing there. She was speechless. I might have been seeing things but I swear I saw her eyes fill with water.

"I-I-I...."

I walk up to her and give her a warm hug. She looked really upset about me finding out the truth, I just thought she needed a hug.

"It's okay Irene."

"No it's not, I'm a total liar". She said, burying her face into my neck. She's crying.....

I sigh and hug her tighter.

"I don't care about if your a liar or where you live Irene, who you are matters to me more..."

She stopped crying and looked at me. Then she smiled..... still with tears draining down her face.

I wipe her tears away and say, "This time, I'll watch you go inside."

"Okay.... thank you again Y/n. Also.....", she says looking at the floor. She then looks back at me and says,"Promise not to tell anyone.. okay?"

I look at her and she looks serious. I nod at her and say, "I promise".

She grabs my hand and walks in the direction of her house I'm guessing. I hope she actually goes to her real house this time.

We finally arrived at her house. I was certainly not expecting this...

"Home Sweet home", she says smiling.

I stare at the rusted gate and the broken walls. I see why she doesn't want anyone to know where she lives. It's fine with me. I like her whether she lives in a box or not.

"You really didn't have to hide this from me you know.."

"I was embarrassed, and when I saw your house it made me feel worse. I thought I would never have a chance with you.." she looks at the ground and the darts her eye back at me looking shocked. I just realized what she said!!

"You would never have a chanc-"

"No! I-I meant like...... I wouldn't have a chance to be your friend! That's what I meant".

Sure thing....

"Hmm..... sure....."

She looks at the ground again and kicks a rock. I decide to stare at her until she decides to go inside.

...............

Does she not want to go inside or what..

...............

"Go inside Irene...."

"O-Oh right..."

...............

She looks straight at me staring in my eyes. I swear she was staring at my soul... she then takes a step closer and grabs my shirt and.......

She kisses me..
