Falling For You

Chapter Twenty-Four!

Elena’s POV

“Come out already!”

“Yeah! You’ve been in there since forever!”

Me and Annie giggled at the boys constant whining.

“We’ve only been in here for fifteen minutes. Give us at least ten more. Go wait downstairs.” I told them.

After hearing two loud sighs, I heard footsteps fade meaning that they were going to wait in the living room.

“How do I look?” I turned my head around to look at Annie. “It’s perfect.” I honestly told her. She wore a sleeveless short dress that was made up of little spots of yellow, dark and light blues, and black. She also wore gold peep toe heels with straps.

“Drew wouldn’t be able to stop staring at you.” I teased her. She instantly blushed a scarlet red. Annie and I got really close during these past weeks. She always came to me to talk or get advice even though I have no experience at all. Apparently, she and Drew were helping me and Liam get together for a long time already. That kind of made sense when I thought about it because I felt as if Drew was drifting away from me. I guess he fell in love with Annie along the way.

I didn’t feel a hint of jealousy when I saw Drew and Annie together. Drew helped me and I was happy for him. What he had told me was right. I was falling in love with Liam without knowing that I was.

They, as in Annie and Drew are the cutest couple ever. You would think that it was weird between me and Annie since she’s my ex-boyfriend’s current girlfriend but we’re actually good friends. Drew and I got along just fine.

Liam on the other hand, I don’t know what’s going on between us.

-Flashback-

“Liam calm down! I was upset at first but he me realize something. I want to actually thank him for it too.”

“What’s that?”

He looked beautiful with his head propped up on his arm. You can clearly see his muscles on his arms. His eyes were full of curiosity so I before I could stop and think about what I was going to say to him, this escaped my mouth, “You look like a little boy waiting to get his present on Christmas.” I said with a smile.

“Elena, I’m waiting.” He said with fake annoyance. “Drama queen.” I muttered under my breath. It came out louder than I expected so I knew he heard it. Oh well, he had to know.

“Well, he made me realize that I,” My heart was beating so loud, it was impossible that he couldn’t hear it. I hid under my covers and told him before I chickened out. I wanted him to know.

“I think I’m falling for you.” I said in almost a whisper.

I was still hiding under my covers so when he never responded, I looked up to see his reaction. He was just staring at the ceiling with a weird look on his face.

Did he not love me anymore? That was impossible though because he told me, more like blurted out that he loved me only a few hours ago. I hid my head under the covers again feeling my heart break. He never responded to my confession but it just made me feel rejected. He probably never loved me. He just said that.

That realization made me cry so I couldn’t control the sob that escaped me.

I guess that snapped him out of his trance or whatever he was in because next thing I knew, he pulled the covers off. I turned the other way so I wasn’t facing him and moved as far away from him as I can. I didn’t know how to face him after that. I didn’t even want to hear him tell me that he didn’t love me. I’m not a hundred percent sure that I was in love with him but I was falling for him. I thought of him every single day. I want to hang out with him as much as possible. If I wasn’t falling for him, what was I doing then?
