A/N- thanks for 10k reads!! Also an opportunity for a s/o and follow at the end of the chapter

Chloe had totally caught me. I don't know why I didn't want her (or anyone else) to know. I guess it was just the whole 'Noah's like my brother' thing."Ok so maybe we like eachother, i dunno," I said quietly.
     "Mhm," she rolled her eyes.
     "Oh my god, stop," I groaned. "What do you want me to say?"
     "I don't care what you say, just stop acting like a grade A hoe," she said half laughing, half serious.
     "What are you talking about?" I asked getting annoyed.
     "You do realize you've been 'talking' with like three guys this months," she said with her eyes wide.
     "Not really," I defended.
     "You went to the dance with James, you confessed your feelings to Noah, and now you're onto Andrew." Whoa. Kinda harsh Chlo.
     "How'd you know I told Noah?" I asked.
     "He told me," she shrugged. "Because he actually cares about your feelings and he tells me stuff."
     "I would've told you but it just felt so... weird. And I care about his feelings too, it's just not his business who I hang out with," I pointed out. Chloe raised her hand to her eyes and shook her head.
     "You're changing the subject, that's not what I'm talking about." Her hand remained on her face.
     "Then what are you talking about?" I asked.
     "You have to suck up this fear you have of liking Noah and just go for it."
     "You're one to talk," I scoffed shaking my head. She looked to me curiously signaling that she had no idea what I meant. "You've never even had a real boyfriend," I explained. I don't know why I started attacking her. I had never even thought it was weird that she was never in a real relationship. I have no idea why it even came into my brain. Her eyes grew wide.
     "And your past relationships have been 'real?' Oh, and guess what? Josh and I hung out when I got home and I asked him to be my boyfriend, so yes I am one to talk."
     "Oh my god," I started. I wanted so badly to take a break from arguing so I could hear all the details. I knew Josh made her so happy and this was all I could ever want for her. Unfortunately, my adrenaline wouldn't take a break."Why didn't you tell me sooner?" I asked.
     "Well you've been making today all about you when it really shouldn't be," she shrugged.
     "What do you mean? I was the one who was almost drugged." I responded offended. It seemed like today should sort of be about me.
     "Well Julia WAS drugged," she reminded me. It went quiet for a minute. Somehow, that detail escaped my mind. I suddenly felt awful for taking up attention today. "That's beside the point. We were talking about Noah and Andrew."
     "I just thought that you were my best friend and that you'd support me," I shrugged speaking quietly.
     "Sam," Chloe started with a serious face. "You ARE my best friend," she reassured me. "But Noah's my brother... my twin brother." It went silent for a second. "His best interest has to be first." Silence. I felt tears welling up in my eyes.
     "I'll call you back later," I said avoiding eye contact.
     "Don't bother."

Call ended.

     What did I do? Just an hour ago I felt so content. Now, both of my best friends in the world didn't want to talk to me. I totally screwed up... And I was about to screw up even more. I picked up my phone again and swiped around until I reached my contacts. I found the right one and clicked call.

Please, please answer.
     "Hey," I heard from the other side.
     "Thank god you answered," I sighed with relief.
     "Huh?" he asked. "What's wrong?"
     "Oh, nothing don't worry," I reassured him. I realized I must've sounded like I had just gotten shot. "Just... Do you wanna hang out?"
     "Oh, yeah, sure," he responded. I couldn't tell how he was feeling about this. He sounded like he was excited, but there's only so much you can interpret over the phone. "where?" he asked.
     "Wanna get ice cream in town?" I suggested.
     "Yeah, that sounds nice," he agreed. Ok, he was definitely excited.
     "Perfect, meet you in like 20?"
     "Sounds good."
     "Ok, see you Andrew."
