After a long nap and thinking session of how a jerk he was towards Eddie earlier, Juicy finally got the energy to get dressed and headed towards the party.

When he arrived, it was quite a sight. Bright lights and loud music was blasting from inside and there were people full out drunk and dancing in the front yard

"This will be fun.." said Juicy to himself before heading inside

It was absolutely crazy inside. People were dancing to the loud music while others were either passed out on the couch or playing beer pong. There was a karaoke machine in the corner and a few couples making out against the wall. Juicy managed to swerve through the crowd and bumped into Mully and Josh. They already looked like they had too many drinks

"Oi! Gaege! Welcome to the party mate!" yelled Mully, drinking the last bit out of his shot glass

"Come join us on th.. the dance floor pal! Let's go!" mumbled Josh, trying to pull his arm onto the dance floor

"Nah, chill bro! I only got here now. I don't want to get wasted just yet" replied Juicy

"Have it your way! yelled the others before stumbling onto the dance floor

Juicy headed towards the couch area and found Narrator sitting on his phone

"Oh hey Grant!" said Juicy, sitting next to him "How come you aren't there with Mully and Josh?"

"Oh hey Gaege! About time you get here! " he replied, looking up from his screen "Yeah, they got way too drunk and I don't want to return to my dorm all messed up. So I'm just chilling here until Ayden pitches up"

Narrator went back to his phone and I just sat there, letting the music blast through my eardrums

"Eyyy Grant!"

I heard a voice through the loud music and when I turned my head, I saw that it was Ayden

"Eyy, what's going on! Never knew you'd make it out of bed you asshole" laughed Narrator

"Shut up you! Now come, lets have some fun" replied Ayden before pulling Narrator off the couch

I didn't have anything to do at that point so I decided to join them. We all three ran towards the dance floor and joined the crowd. The music was blasting and the lights were going crazy. People were drinking and cheering as we all danced and went crazy. I was just beginning to enjoy myself when Eric bumped into me; spilling his beer all over my jacket. Fuck!!

I squeezed my way out of the group and ran into a passage. Where's the bathroom? I explored all over the house until I finally found the bathroom. As I was about to enter, I noticed a couple kissing against a nearby wall. PDA much! I rinsed majority of the stain out of my jacket and left the stall. I turned around and felt my heart shatter...

Unable to move, I watched as the couple broke their kiss and faced me. It was Eddie and Gabby! I felt my eyes tear up and my whole body fall numb. Eddie immediately locked eyes with me, realizing what I've just seen and shouted:

"Shit, wait Juicy! I can explain!"

I didn't want to hear it. I suddenly felt a feeling of betrayal for some reason. I quickly turned around and ran towards the front door. This was a mistake. This whole thing was a mistake! I dashed through the crowd and ran through the front door. I heard Narrator and Ayden call my name but I didn't care. I couldn't face anyone right now. I ran through the front yard and down the street to where I parked my car. I'm leaving and I'm leaving now! Just as I was about open my car, I heard a shout from behind me and a hand suddenly slammed my door shut before I could climb in.

"Gaege, listen, I can explain..."

I knew it was Eddie but I couldn't dare face him. The amount of pain he's caused me. The excuses I made for my broken heart and tears. But I also felt angry and betrayed. All these emotions built up in my chest and I turned around to face him; yelling my heart out:

"Does any of this matter to you?!!"

Eddie looked at me with a confused face; staying silent as I continued:

"Any of this?! Us?! Do you not care about any of this?!" I yelled, with tears streaming down my face

Eddie, still out of breath, softly replied "What do you mean?!"

"Eddie, I can't anymore. I've kept quiet for too long and I'm beginning to realize that all of this was just a big fucking mistake! All of these feelings, these moments, even that kiss we shared that night. Did those mean anything to you?! Not even a tiny bit?! I can't be the only one that felt something that night. That was real! I know it! Stop hurting me Eddie! Tell me it was real, please! I don't know what's real or not anymore, but all these feelings I hav-"

Before I could continue, I felt Eddie's soft lips slowly press against mine. I was leaning against the bonnet and my body was still numb, making me unable to move or push him away. When he eventually broke it, I looked straight into his eyes, confused of what just happened

"I thought I was the only one... The only one that actually felt something that night" he softly said

"What are you saying?" I asked, still unable to move

"Juicy, ever since that first night we kissed, I know I was drunk out of my mind but I felt something, honestly. Butterflies and sparks inside my stomach. I was confused if it was real or not, so I didn't say anything. All of this time, I've had something for you Juicy. Strong feelings! True feelings! I just couldn't find the words to tell you and the boys. I was so embarrassed and confused to ever bring it up. The smallest times I hurt you, my heart would shatter into a million pieces. Being around you just makes me so happy. I can be myself around you. I don't know why but I want you, Juicy. As mine. Only mine. You make me feel something so different than any girl can-"

The mention of a girl caused me to tear up again and lower my head

"What's wrong?! What did I say?" panicked Eddie, also beginning to tear up

"I saw you and Gabby kiss. This whole thing is so confusing. First you get mad at me when we were caught kissing, you give Gabby that special look whenever you are around her and now you say that you like me? I'm confused Eddie! Do you want me or her" I whimpered

"She was drunk! And she kissed me! I was looking for you, about to confess to you, when she pulled me back and pushed me against the wall. Believe me Juicy! I don't like her in that way. I thought, if I hung out with a girl more often, these confused feelings for you would stop. I was scared about ruining my friendship with you and the boys, so I would get mad whenever you kissed me. I tried to deny everything I felt about you but now I know, nothing can stop these feelings." he replied

Me, trying to calm down my sobbing, slowly looked up into Eddie's teary eyes. The look on his face proved that what he just said, he meant it. I began to realize that he has gone through the same pain and denial as me all this time! I gently rubbed away his tear with my thumb before pulling him closer into me

Our lips met once again, and this time, it was real. Eddie deepened the kiss as I gently stroked my fingers through his hair and slowly onto his neck. He quickly lifted me up and placed me on the bonnet of the car and rubbed his hand underneath my shirt. He lowered his left hand onto my thigh, gently massaging it and making me want more. This is the moment; the moment I've been waiting for all this time. The kiss I've been waiting for. I could hear people cheering and laughing in the distance but nothing could ruin this moment for me. Nothing at all. And do you know why? Even after all of this drama I've gone through, I've finally realized something. Eddie and I...

...Truly do have something special
