The Triangle

Chapter 89 ? Exposed

MINX:
why can't you come over tonight??

WILBUR:
I have a date bitch

MINX:
so? blow it off
ive had a rough week

WILBUR:
So cry in your bedroom
You ain't my problem
Don't text me tonight

Suddenly, Floris walked up behind me.

FLORIS:
"Hey man." He smiled.

WILBUR:
"Hey." I said flatly.

-Y/N's POV-
I walked down the hallways and soon, started to hear voices.

FLORIS:
"So, you gonna pay off the other team to hurt Evans this week like before?"

I stopped in my tracks as my eyes widened.

WILBUR:
"No." He scoffed, "I didn't even win anyways. Paying to hurt that idiot was pointless."

My feet moved on their own around the corner, meeting eyes with Wilbur.

Y/N:
"You paid the other team to hurt Clay??"

Floris turned around as his eyes widened. He nervously laughed. Meanwhile, Wilbur gave Floris a death stare.

FLORIS:
"Would you look at that? I—I have an appointment at the—" He cut himself off by running away, leaving me and Wilbur alone in the hallway.

WILBUR:
"Y—Y/N—" He looked nervously at me as he stuttered.

Y/N:
"Clay got hurt because of you??" I raised my voice.

WILBUR:
"Yes but—" He sighed, "I only paid them off so that I could be the one to win the game for everyone."

I shook my head as I began remembering what happened and how I felt.

• FLASHBACK (CH.69) •
The whole time, Clay got passed the ball. He made a touchdown for most of the times. My best friends and I cheered on for him.

However, in the middle of the game, Clay kept getting tackled by the same person. Every time he collapsed, I'd gasp and jump a little. But, Clay always got right back up, making me release the breaths I was holding.

After a while, the game was almost tied. If Clay could get one more touchdown this time, they win. But, if Clay didn't get the touchdown, then the other team had one more chance of winning.

"You got this Clay, c'mon..." I thought while messing with my fingers.

The players lined up in their usual formation, said a bunch of words then the round took off. Jack passed Clay the ball. Clay ran as fast as he could to the touchdown, and right when he was about to make it, a large taller player suddenly came out of nowhere and tackled Clay so hard that he flipped over, straight onto his head.

My eyes widened as I gasped along with many others in the audience.

The coach and others ran to Clay. I didn't hesitate and pushed past people on the bleachers to get to Clay.

My friends called my name behind me but I kept running. I made it to the field shortly and pushed past the players to kneel down to Clay.

When I saw him, his eyes were shut. My eyes widened more as I shook him by the chest.

Y/N:
"Clay?? Clay!" I yelled but he still didn't wake up.

From the corner of my eye, I noticed the guy who tackled Clay laughing with another while staring at my unconscious best friend.

My nose twitched as I got up and tried running towards them when suddenly, someone picked me up by the waist and set me down.

WILBUR:
"Calm down—"

I pushed his chest to release his grip off of me while I glared at him.

Y/N:
"Why didn't you protect him??" I snapped.

Wilbur's shoulders dropped as he sighed.

• REALITY •

Y/N:
"It makes so much sense now why you didn't protect him...what was I thinking trusting you...Clay was right...you just see me as a prize to be won just like your stupid game." I turned around and tried walking away but Wilbur went after me, speed-walking beside me.

WILBUR:
"Y/N wait—Clay didn't even get hurt—"

Y/N:
"He got knocked out and could've ended up worse—"

WILBUR:
"I'm sorry okay?"

Y/N:
"You're only sorry cause you got caught—"

Wilbur sighed.

-CLAY's POV-
I was waiting in the car for Y/N when after a few minutes, I saw her exit the school with a distressed look on her face. Then the source came after her, Wilbur.

-Y/N's POV-

Y/N:
"I don't wanna hear it—"

WILBUR:
"Y/N come on—" He rolled his eyes.

I quickly turned around, meeting his gaze.

Y/N:
"Wilbur...you paid people to hurt my best friend...football players get all kinds of head injuries that they could die from!" I shook my head while frowning at him, "If you want me, you'll have them too. We're a packaged deal...our date is off. Call me when you grow up and think of someone other than yourself..."

I stormed off, leaving Wilbur behind to sigh.

-WILBUR's POV-
I glared at her walking away, being pissed off at Floris for saying my business out loud. I soon grabbed my phone out of my pocket and texted the whore back.

WILBUR:
I'll be over at 6

MINX:
that's what i thought

I sighed with a frown at Y/N in the distance then made my way back into the school, feeling like the biggest idiot in the world.

-Y/N's POV-
Once I made it to Clay's car, I opened the door, climbed inside and slammed it shut with a sigh.

CLAY:
"Let me guess, Wilbur did something?"

My eyes fell to my lap.

Y/N:
"He paid the other football team to hurt you that night so that way he could win the game instead of you..."

Clay's eyes widened as his grip on the steering wheel became tighter.

Y/N:
"You were right...he doesn't care about anyone but himself..." I shook my head while rolling my tongue against the inside of my cheek, "I'm sorry..."

My best friend lifted my chin up with his finger to meet eyes.

CLAY:
"Don't ever apologize for being a good person, that's why I fell in love with you." He smiled.

I felt the weight lift off of my shoulders as I smiled back at him with a blush across my cheeks.

CLAY:
"Hey, there's the cute smile I love."

I giggled at his statement. He soon let his hand fall back onto the steering wheel.

CLAY:
"Now, let's have some fun to keep that smile on that pretty little face of yours." He started the car.

I couldn't erase my smile as I stared at my caring best friend.

I knew Clay's version of having fun was actually doing something that would make me happy. Meanwhile, Wilbur's version of fun would be sex.

Clay could always cheer me up, even if he's the one I'm mad at. That's one of the many reasons why I fell in love with him, and why I will always need him in my life.

And so, I left the parking lot today with the right person instead.

❥ A/N: I'm sorry I haven't uploaded in over a week. I've been in this new relationship since a little after my old one and things haven't been going well so I've been unmotivated to write :/
