The Triangle

Chapter 74 ? Confessions

I had a bad feeling in my stomach about where she was though. So, I asked to use the bathroom and left the classroom, trying to find her.

When I was searching down the halls, I passed by the corner to see her and Wilbur hugging each other tightly, making me hide behind the corner as my eyes widened.

WILBUR:
"Darling, what happened?" He spoke softly to her.

I clenched my jaw while glaring at him. She slowly split apart from him but they still held onto each other. She met his eyes. When I saw the tears, my heart fell a little.

Y/N:
"I—I—" Her breathing picked up, "I'm scared..."

WILBUR:
"Of what?" His face grew with concern, along with mine.

Y/N:
"Of hurting everyone..."

My eyebrows squished together.

WILBUR:
"Well...I told you that we don't have to be together if it hurts you to hurt your friends..."

Y/N:
"There's more..." Her lip quivered.

WILBUR:
"More?"

She tilted her head and pouted, her tears collapsing down her cheeks.

Y/N:
"I like you...but I like them too..."

My heart dropped along with my expression.

WILBUR:
"You like them...?"

She nodded while frowning.

WILBUR:
"Do you like two of them or...?"

Y/N:
"All of them..."

My heartbeat picked up fast as my mouth opened in shock.

"There's no way...there's no way she likes me..." I kept repeating in my head.

WILBUR:
"Oh...for how long...?"

Y/N:
"I...I started liking George in 4th grade but...it went away and...I started having a thing for Clay in 6th grade..."

I was frozen in shock. I kept pinching my arm, trying to wake up from this dream.

Y/N:
"And...my crush on Nick started the week before 11th grade..."

Tears immediately filled my eyes, except they were happy ones. I sadly smiled while squishing my eyebrows together at her.

WILBUR:
"Oh...that makes sense now..." He frowned while clenching his jaw, letting go of her.

Y/N:
"I—I'm sorry...I like you but—"

WILBUR:
"You love them..." He finished her sentence for her.

I couldn't erase the smile that was on my face. My crush that I've been in love with my whole life...she loved me back.

Y/N:
"Wilbur I...I don't know if anything's gonna happen with them or not...our friendships could be ruined or something else...I don't wanna risk that..."

My smile faded.

WILBUR:
"Well, those idiots have always had a thing for you. Nick's liked you since the 1st grade, Clay's liked you since the 6th and George has liked you since the 9th."

Mine and Y/N's eyes widened.

I couldn't believe he was telling her everything, exposing us. I also couldn't believe that he knew everything.

-Y/N's POV-
My heart dropped.

I had no idea they all felt this way for me for so long. I was speechless.
