Oblivious

Chapter/3

        That night I assumed Sophie probably wanted some space, so I told her I was sleeping over the guy's place. Which wasn't a lie but I told her I was staying with Con, that part was the lie. I was staying with Kian, obviously. Kian and I were in the living room and it was about 3 am. The guys were knew I was staying over, but they think I'm sleeping in the living room alone. Kian and I were finishing the movie from earlier. He then looked at me and put his hand on my leg. I turned and looked at him confused. "What?" I ask. His face dropped as he looked down. "I just hate sneaking around like this." My smile falls off my face as I look down at the hardwood floor. "Kian you know why we ha- " "I know why Sydney, I'm not an idiot!" Kian starts to shout in his voice. I keep my head down as I shed a tear. Kian stands up and runs his fingers through his hair. "Kian, I just I don't think I'm comfortable with telling them yet" "How much fucking time do you need, you're not the only one in this relationship, I have to live with not telling my best friends about a girl I love." His voice cracked as he was about to cry. I couldn't take my eyes off of him, even as the tears made it hard for me to see. "A lot happened that night, and Jess has to live with that scar to remind her everyday when she wakes up and I don't want our relationship to be an add-on to the reminders." He took a big breath and started looking at me. "I.. I'm sorry." He ran over to me and pulled me into his arms.

        That morning I woke up in Kians arms on the couch. I grabbed my phone and checked the time hoping it was early enough that I could get up without the guys seeing us. I wiggle out of his arms and get up. I go up to Kian's room and use the shower.I heard voices downstairs so I hurriedly puts my clothes on and started rushing down the stairs. Ricky was leaning over the counter while Jc was sitting on one of the bar stools.They both go quiet and look at me. "What?" I ask confused. Connors voice appears behind me before they could say anything. "Guys she already told us she's flying home for her birthday." Jc throws his hands up in the air and slams them on the table. "Way to go Con ruining the surprise" "It wouldn't be that much of a surprise if the birthday girl wasn't even there." I laugh and look over to the couch. Kian wasn't there anymore. Weird, I wonder where he went. "Sorry boys" I say while wrapping my arms around Jc. He shakes me off annoyed. "Yeah, yeah whatever" I laugh and grab my car keys. "I should head home and check on Soph." All the boys wave goodbye as I walk out the door. There I saw Kian at the mailbox going through mail. He saw me and started running over. "Leaving so soon?" He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into him. "I gotta go home babe." He started smiling at me. "You know whats coming up soon..." I started laughing and put my arms around his neck. "Yes yes, how could I forget." Kian and I were going away for my birthday. I told the guys I was flying home and Kian said his sister needed help moving in somewhere. It was going to be perfect.
