The Triangle

❥Warning:
Includes strong language.

-Y/N's POV-
Clay and I stayed on the roof until second period. Once the bell rung, we hugged one last time and parted ways. He told me to text him if I needed him, which I adored.

While walking down the halls, I shortly made it to Math class. When I saw George sitting at his desk, I pulled him by the hand to the hallway.

GEORGE:
"You okay?" He asked once we got to the lockers near the classroom.

Y/N:
"Yes, but I know you're not..."

George sighed with a frown.

Y/N:
"I think you should live with me again...I don't want you having a screaming match with your parents every day."

His shoulders fell as he stared at the lockers.

GEORGE:
"Look...I'm going to stay with Clay and, if that means having a screaming match with my parents every day, then...so be it..."

Y/N:
"Why're you so fixed on staying at Clay's house?" My eyebrows squished together.

GEORGE:
"Cause..." He released a shaky breath, "Just cause..."

Y/N:
"Is there a reason, or do you just not want to tell me...?" I asked nervously.

GEORGE:
"Fine...when I lived at your house...it was great but...it wasn't fair to Clay and Nick..."

I swallowed hard.

GEORGE:
"I know I haven't been the best friend to them, and...I want to put them first this time...I'd rather have the stress of my parents every day with peaceful friendships than to live in peace while the screaming match is with my friends...I already lost my parents...I don't wanna lose my friends too..."

Slight tears formed in the corners of my eyes.

Y/N:
"So basically...it's my fault that you guys aren't as close as you used to be..." I mumbled under my breath.

GEORGE:
"What?"

Y/N:
"Nothing..." I shook my head while weakly smiling at the lockers, "I gotta go."

GEORGE:
"Right now?"

Y/N:
"Yeah...I have to tell someone something...I'll see you later—" I immediately walked away, not giving a second thought to my plan.

Hearing everything that I have from George and Nick, I knew that my sister was wrong. My plan was the right thing to do. I had to choose Wilbur, even though my heart wasn't 100% into the idea.

I speed walked down the halls while trying to find Wilbur. After walking down several of the hallways, I turned the corner sharply. I gasped while my eyes widened at what I saw. Wilbur and Minx split apart from their make out session. He had his hands on her waist, while she had her hands on his shoulders. They looked like deer caught in headlights.

WILBUR:
"H—Hey Y/N..." He looked nervously at me.

I swallowed hard at them as tears filled my eyes. My heart dropped a little, making me shut my eyes.

MINX:
"I think you're interrupting us. Move along, little girl." She smiled with pride at me.

I locked eyes with Wilbur. I gave him a look of disappointment and sadness as I shook my head at him.

Y/N:
"You haven't changed at all..." I whispered.

Wilbur's eyes fell to the floor as he clenched his jaw. I couldn't be there anymore, so, I turned around and walked away, turning the corner sharply. Unfortunately, I heard Wilbur running after me.

WILBUR:
"Y/N wait—" He grabbed my arm and ran in front of me, stopping me, "Let me explain."

Y/N:
"How about I explain something to you instead...?" I tilted my head while narrowing my eyes at him, "You're a hypocrite..."

Wilbur swallowed hard.

Y/N:
"Why can't you just...be who I want you to be..."

Wilbur clenched his jaw while staring hard at me.

WILBUR:
"Cause I'm not them Y/N...I'm never going to be them..."

Y/N:
"You're right...they'd never do this to me..." I whispered while shaking my head, "I'm so tired of going back and forth with you...you told me that I was the only girl you've ever loved...yet you go back to Minx every single time...and I fall for your charms when quite frankly...I'm just seeing what I want to see...and what I see in you right now...is someone who I thought I knew..."

His eyes fell to the tile as he frowned.

Y/N:
"I'm so tired..." I breathed out as tears fell down my cheeks, "I'm tired of trying to make us work...I'm tired of trying to please everyone...I'm tired of having this weight on my chest, every, single, day...so congratulations...you get to keep the liar...the slut...but now...you've lost the girl who was going to give you everything..."

Wilbur slipped his hands into his pockets while slightly glaring at me.

WILBUR:
"I already lost you a while ago, Y/N..." He whispered, "I always knew those idiots would come before me...I've prepared for the day you let me go again...I'm not the type of person who can just wait around...waiting for you to decide if you want me...so...next time...don't turn around the corner..."

I pressed my lips together as more tears fell to the tile. Wilbur walked away from me and went back around the corner. I heard him and Minx walk away together, farther from me.

Once I released a shaky breath out, I knew what I had to do now. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and texted the group chat of me and my friends, to meet me on the roof. After that, I wiped my tears away and made my way slowly down the halls to get to the roof.

When I made it to the roof, I sat on the edge and waited for my friends to arrive. My feet swayed off the building as more tears filled my eyes.

It didn't take long for the 3 of them to come.

CLAY:
"Y/N?"

I slowly turned my head to meet my friend's gazes. I swallowed hard, seeing their worried expressions at me. I hopped off the edge onto the floor and walked towards them.

Y/N:
"I made a decision...on who to choose..." I spoke quietly.

All of their eyes widened as they exchanged nervous looks at each other.

GEORGE:
"R—Really...??"

Y/N:
"Yeah...it's the right decision so...please don't fight me on it..."

They nodded hesitantly, I could tell by their body language that they were even more nervous. I gulped nervously at my friends, preparing myself for the impact that would destroy them.

Y/N:
"I choose no one..." I whispered as more tears filled my eyes, almost overflowing.

My friend's gave me puzzling looks.

NICK:
"Wha—What do you mean you choose no one...?"

My breathing slowed down as I stared at each of them hazily.

Y/N:
"I...I don't choose any of you..." I clenched my jaw with a frown, "We're all friends...that's what we are...that's what we'll always be..."

CLAY:
"Did you...choose Wilbur...?" He frowned as slight tears formed in his eyes.

Y/N:
"No..." I shook my head, "I don't...I don't want anyone..."

My eyes fell to the floor, I couldn't bare to see the tears in their eyes.

Y/N:
"I love you guys...I'm sorry..." My voice cracked, "But it's over..."

My eyebrows squished together in sadness as the tears filled my eyes all the way. Since I was about to explode, I ran out the door and left them alone together on the roof.

While running down the stairs, my tears fell as my lip quivered. I ran until I reached the girl's bathroom. Then I collapsed in a stall and held myself as I cried, knowing I did exactly what my sister said I would. I hurt the boys I loved, and I hurt myself. I let my head fall to my knees and let out my cries in the empty school bathroom.
