Chapter 59: I Didn't Know Rich People Carried Change

"Always thought I was hard to love
'Til you made it seem so easy, seem so easy
Touch me 'til I find myself, in a feeling
Tell me with your hands that you're never leaving."

-Easy, Camila Cabello

When the car comes to a halt in front of my house, I look at Chase, despite the excitement running through me, I find myself feeling sadder.

He hadn't said anything to me since we got in the car. I open the door and I can't stop myself from looking back at him.

"We can still be friends, right?" I ask, the light rain starting to pour harder.

He looks at me, a little lost. "I want that more than anything, but, maybe... we could take a small break for a little while, you know I don't mean it like that-"

I shake my head slowly. "No, I completely understand. But if there's anything, you know you can talk to me."

He turns back to the steering wheel. "Yeah, I know. Now go, tell him how you feel."

"Bye," I walk away and when I reach the porch, I see Parker rushing out to the point where the zipper of his jeans is still down.

"I'm late, move!" He runs.

"Your zip's open! And where's Axel?" I ask, my heart beating faster and louder.

Why was I so nervous? It's only Axel.

Zipping his pants up, still running off into the night, Park yells a quick garage.

Taking a deep breath, I walk into the house and call for the elevator that none of us really use unless we want to go to the garage.

I step into it and it couldn't be moving slower even though it was a comparatively fast elevator. I run to step out as soon as it opens even slightly.

I see the hood of an old red Lamborghini Miura popped up and I can see his hand shuffling on the side, looking for some tool.

He peaks over the metal to look at the person walking in on him. I stride over as the surprise on his face becomes more and more evident.

"Jul-"

"Chase just told me he's in love with me," maybe not the best conversation starter.

Just like that his jaw tightens. "What the fu-"

"No, no, let me speak, if you start talking, I'll just chicken out," I take a deep breath.

He arches his eyebrows. "Go on."

"I know that I'm not always the easiest person to love. I can be very messy and our circumstances don't help. And I don't know what's going to happen to us in the near future but I do know one thing. That when one of my closest friends, someone who I know could love me the way I've always dreamt of being loved said he loved me, my first thought was you," I can feel tears welling up in my eyes.

His eyes soften immensely.

"I love you," I whisper, fiddling with my hands, telling my pounding heart to calm down.
