The Triangle

Chapter 45 ? Dandelions

My eyes fell to the sheet again.

Y/N:
"No we just...didn't understand each other as well as we thought we did..." I nodded slowly.

NICK:
"Well, he can't be mad forever." he lightly smiled, "He'll come around."

Suddenly, the door opened and Clay walked in.

CLAY:
"Hey, I know you're gonna be mad but I—"

Y/N:
"I know." I cut him off.

CLAY:
"You know?" his eyebrows squished together.

Y/N:
"I know you called my parents and...I'll stay here for however long I need to be..." I nodded with a sad smile, "And then I'll go home..."

Clay's shoulders dropped as he slowly started to smile.

CLAY:
"Thank you...that just put a big weight off my shoulders." he laughed.

I smiled with a nod.

Y/N:
"Can we listen to music? It's too quiet in here." I huffed out a smile.

CLAY:
"Yeah." His lips curled up as he took his phone out of his black jacket pocket.

❥ A/N: You can play the song now :)

Shortly, Clay put on a song from Spotify. After hearing the first notes of it, I recognized it immediately.

It was "Dandelions" by Ruth B.

Y/N:
"Hey, you played our song." I giggled.

CLAY:
"Yep. I even remember the last time we listened to it."

Y/N:
"Do share." I smiled.

CLAY:
"Happy to." He grinned.

• FLASHBACK (NOT A CH.) •
Clay was stressed out on the first day of 11th grade. He wouldn't tell me what it was about but I knew that I needed to be there for him.

So, I went to the grocery store, picked up his favorite snacks and walked to his house.

When I made it to his house, I rung the doorbell and was shortly met with my dirty blonde best friend. His hair was messy and he was wearing a black t-shirt with light grey sweatpants. He looked distressed but once he met my eyes, he slowly began to smile.

CLAY:
"Oh, hey Y/N. What're you doing here?" he held the door open with one hand.

Y/N:
"You wanna do something fun?" I grinned.

Clay huffed out a smile.

CLAY:
"Always." he nodded.

Y/N:
"Then put some shoes on and grab your keys." I nodded then turned around and walked to his car, I heard him chuckling behind me.

Shortly, he grabbed both items and shut and locked the door behind him. Then he unlocked his car doors and we climbed in. I set the bag of items in the middle of my feet then shut my door and buckled up while he did the same.

CLAY:
"So, where are we going?" he had both hands on the steering wheel.

Y/N:
"The park where we met."

Clay's emeralds lit up as his smile widened.

CLAY:
"Okay." he laughed nervously and started the car.

After some time, we made it to the park where we first met. Once he parked the car, I looked at him with a smirk.

Y/N:
"Bet I can beat you to the field—" I cut myself off as I quickly unbuckled then grabbed the bag and dashed out the door, slamming it behind me as I giggled.

CLAY:
"Hey!" I heard him smile.

I ran as fast as I could while letting out laughter as I ran to the field we used to fight aliens in as power rangers. When I stepped onto the dandelion covered field, I was immediately tackled by Clay, making us both burst out in a range of laughters including his wheezes.

CLAY:
"I win!"

Y/N:
"No!" I smiled widely.

He slowly got off of me and sat up while I did the same. Then my eyes fell to the crushed dandelions beneath me.

Y/N:
"Boo," I fake pouted, "You crushed the dandelions."

CLAY:
"Oops." he grinned.

Y/N:
"You know what song that just reminded me of?" My eyes lit up, "Dandelions by Ruth B."

CLAY:
"I can play it if you want." he grabbed his phone from his pocket.

Y/N:
"I want." I nodded, making him giggle as he typed in the song to his Spotify.

While he was getting the music ready, I was getting his favorite snacks out of the grocery bag and setting them down on the field. Once he started the song, his eyes widened at the snacks.

CLAY:
"You bought my favorite snacks?"

Y/N:
"Duh." I smiled, "I felt like you needed this cause I know you felt sad today."

Clay's lips curled down as his eyes trailed to the pink and blue sunset.

Y/N:
"You don't have to tell me why, just know I'm here to make things better." I intertwined our fingers, making him shoot his head down to them.

He squeezed my hand then slowly began to smile again as his emeralds met my eyes.

CLAY:
"Thank you...this...this means everything." he nervously laughed with a blush.

Y/N:
"Of course, I love your smile." I grinned while poking his lips, making him wheeze.

His wheezing made me laugh too. After all, his laugh was contagious.

Y/N:
"Now, we're gonna stay here until it's night because I wanna make a wish on a shooting star." I nodded while staring at the painting in the sky.

Clay's blush expanded as he nodded slowly with a smirk at the sunset.

CLAY:
"Sounds perfect..." he spoke softly, "What're you gonna wish for?"

He turned his head to me.

Y/N:
"I'm not gonna tell you silly, otherwise it won't come true." I laughed.

CLAY:
"Okay...I'll make one too." he smiled at his Spotify.

So, the two of us waited until dark and talked about whatever we could think of. We had many laughs and ate our snacks. We even took some selfies of the fun night.

And when it became dark, the two of us held hands as I rested my head on his shoulder. After a while, we finally saw a shooting star. I gasped while squeezing his hand.

Y/N:
"There it is! Make a wish!" I smiled then squeezed my eyes shut to make my wish, I heard him giggle beside me.

Once I closed my eyes, I made my wish.

I wished that Clay would live a long and happy life and that things got better for him.

-CLAY's POV-
I wished that Y/N would live a long and happy life and that no matter who she ends up choosing one day, I wish her to be happy.
