Falling For You

Chapter Thirteen!

Elena’s POV

 I was eating my cereal when my phone beeped.

 It was a text from Drew.

 Hey baby, do you wanna go out with me today? :)

 Yesterday ended with me falling asleep on my bed. Drew didn’t call me instead, he sent me a text that said good night.

 I quickly reply okay and he tells me to get ready in 30 minutes. Right after I finish eating, I jump out of my seat to take a shower and change.

 I tied my hair in a ponytail but it was still wet. I put on a while boy tank and some jean shorts.

 Drew rang the bell right on time. I put on my white converse and ran down to open the door.

 “Good morning” I said with a big grin on my face. Drew had his hair in a tousled way that looked really good on him. Instead on him saying good morning to me, he gave me a kiss on my lips.

 When he pulled apart, he took my hand in his and we walked outside.

 I walked towards his car but he pulled me back causing me to crash into his chest.  I stumbled a few steps and blushed looking down at the floor.

 “Elena, I want to walk today around the neighborhood today. Is it okay?” He asked looking at me in the eyes.

 “Okay.” I fell into step and walked side by side with him. About half an hour later which consisted of Drew making up funny stories about people he saw on the street, I recognized where we were. We were on Liam’s block.

 I sighed as thoughts started to unravel in my head. How did Liam and I get to where we were today? Did he start to realize that he was too good for me so he left me alone? I didn’t get it.

 I want to know what happened. He started to ignore me after we kissed. I want to know why he kissed me. Did he have feelings for me more than a friend? No. I shot that thought down. It’s impossible. He’s my best friend. I know he didn’t like me like that.

 After a few moments of thinking, I decided to give him a call tonight. I mean, that was a mistake. I won’t let a stupid kiss get in the way of me and my best friend. Yup, I’ll call him right after Drew leaves. For now, I’ll just enjoy my date. When Drew and I walked passed Liam’s house, I snuck a glance letting my eyes linger on his window. I peeked in his driveway where we used to always play games in since we were little and saw Liam playing basketball by himself. Gosh I missed my best friend. The thought slipped into my mind.

 He was half naked and my eyes focused on his muscular back. I didn’t have bad eyesight and even if he was a driveway down from me, I could still see his muscles moving and flexing as he ran and dunked the basketball. I mentally slapped myself when I became conscious of what I was doing. I was checking out my best friend on a date with my boyfriend. How messed up was I? I turned my sight away.

Drew’s POV

 Holy moly. Annie was right.

 My girlfriend was probably in love with someone else. That someone else was no one other than her best friend.

 I can’t believe I was so blind, so stupid. But I saw it coming and never accepted it. I was too stubborn to let myself come to realize this since I wanted Elena for myself.

 I was kind of mad at first that Elena hadn’t told me that she had feelings for her best friend but I couldn’t blame her. She doesn’t even know she was in love with her best friend.
