BRADDISON// IS THIS LOVE?

Part 11- do you love me like I love you?

recap:

clem is really drunk and bryce puts her to bed. As he starts to leave clem grabs his wrist and says "bryce.."

back to the story:

Clem pov: bryce grabs me and carries me to a room on his shoulder. I feel good that i am getting the same treatment addison got. He gets me meds and water for the hangover that is yet to come and removes my heels. As he starts to leave i grab his hand.

Addison pov: i get up and check my phone. Its 2:37 am. I feel thirsty and the bottle near me was empty. I start walking towards the stairs. The party seems to be over now. I could only spot josh and quinton quietly talking in the dark in the corner. I cross dixie's room and she seems asleep. Bryce's room is open but dark so he probably isnt there. Where is he? I wonder. I come across teh guest bed room, its dimly lighted and ther are 2 voices. I stop to listen. Ist clem and bryce. I know i shouldnt eavesdrop and listen to their convo but i cant help myself so i stand quietly in the shadows listening to the talk. Clem says " bryce....."

Clem pov:"Bryce...." i say. My heart thumping in my chest. "I love you" i say. He smiles. " i love u too clem" he replies.

Addison pov: my heart feels like it stopped beating. My heart tells me to not listen anymore or it would break me but i do.

Clem pov: He starts to leave ebut i pull on his hand "no...bryce....i love love u" i say cause clearly he thought i was saying it to him just like friends do sometimes. He seems shocked, which was...expected. "Clem umm ur drunk righ now we should talk later, got to sleep" he says. Ughhh. Why wont he just listen and respond to me now. I think i do know how he feels but i want him to say it in his own words and voice.

Addison pov: Clem continues "no....bryce i love love you" she says. Bryce clears his throat slightly and says "Clem umm ur drunk right now we should talk later, got to sleep". Yess thank god. But clem doesnt care.

Bryce pov: "no ....Bryce I love love you" she says. I clearly know what that means. I guess....Addison was right? Clem likes me. Wow. I am such an asshole that i am gonna break her heart now but she knows I can't like anyone let alone love them . I feel really bad for her but i decide not to respond directly and i just say "clem umm ur drunk right now, we should talk later" but she clearly seems not happy with the answer.

Clem pov: "No Bryce answer me, do u love me like i love you?" i say 

Addison pov: "no Bryce answer me, do u love me like i love you?" she asks. I can't bear to hear his response anymore. I dash across the hallway, wide awake now. Tears rolling down my face.

Bryce pov: "no Bryce answer me, do u love me like i love you" she pushes on. I don't know how to answer her. I know my answer will break her. Before i can decide how or what to respond i see a figure rush by followed by soft crying. I run after the person. Thankful for the distraction. I spot yellowish dressed figure get into a car. It was Addison. But why was she crying? Or running? Was she in trouble?. I follow her in my own car but she is quite ahead of me. I call her and send texts to her asking what happened but she doesn't respond. this night is taking a huge turn...and I am not enjoying it, i think to myself.
