The Triangle

Chapter 123 ? Fine

Y/N:
"Well yeah, I had to sneak out somehow. They would've caught me at the door. It's fine." I raised my eyebrows while pushing his hands down, to release his grasp on me, "Can I come in or not?"

CLAY:
"Y—Yeah, we need to put medicine on that cut." He looked nervously at me while stepping to the side to let me through the door.

Y/N:
"I don't need medicine, I'm fine." I spoke while walking inside with my bags.

My crush ended up convincing me anyway to go to the bathroom, so he could put medicine on my cut. I was seated down on the toilet as he held my chin across from me, applying medicine with a Q-tip on my cut.

I adverted my gaze from him, as I began to get lost in my cloudy thoughts. I didn't even realize he put a band-aid on my temple, covering the cut.

CLAY:
"Please never jump off your roof again..." He sighed, "That's really dangerous..."

"I don't care..." My immediate thought was in my head.

I clenched my jaw and met his eyes.

Y/N:
"So..." I tried changing the subject, "Where do you want to go on our date this weekend?"

His eyes narrowed at me as he bit the inside of his cheek.

CLAY:
"Y/N...I don't think that's a good idea..."

My brows furrowed together.

Y/N:
"Why not? It's what you wanted. I'm giving you what you want, Clay...I've been giving you what you want..." I glared slightly at him.

CLAY:
"What I want, is for you to be okay...which clearly you're not..." He gulped nervously.

Y/N:
"Says who?" I tilted my head.

He paused for a moment, staring at me a certain way.

CLAY:
"You called your mom a bitch, Y/N..." He spoke lowly, "Why'd you call her that?"

Y/N:
"Cause she was acting like one. She tried grounding me just because I cancelled on our family day. But I didn't even want a damn family day anyway..."

CLAY:
"Why not...? You used to love them..." He frowned.

Slight tears formed in the corners of my eyes.

Y/N:
"Well I don't anymore..." I mumbled.

Clay looked my face up and down, then slowly raised his hands to cup my cheeks, making our eyes lock on each other.

CLAY:
"Y/N...are you okay...?" He asked quietly.

I swallowed hard while narrowing my eyes at him, more tears flooded my eyes.

Y/N:
"I'm fine..." I answered quietly.

CLAY:
"Are you sure...?"

I clenched my jaw tightly.

Y/N:
"You know what...? I think I'll have a date with George this weekend instead..." I pushed his hands down again, then stood up, leaving the bathroom.

CLAY:
"Y/N..." He walked after me.

I grabbed my bags and walked out of his bedroom, heading downstairs to leave his house for George's. Clay stayed behind in his room, I heard him sigh.

I left Clay's house, slamming the door behind me, then strutted over to George's house.

Right when I stepped onto his yard, I realized that I didn't want to see him. I didn't want to see any of my crushes right now.

That's when it hit me of who I needed to see.

I got out my phone from my pocket and quickly texted Wilbur.

Y/N:
Hey, could you give me Hannah's number, please?

He replied shortly.

WILBUR:
Hannah?
Why?

Y/N:
Cause
Just gimme it

WILBUR:
Alright🤨
Hannah's number is xxx-xxx-xxxx

Y/N:
Thank you

Right when I got out of our text thread, Wilbur texted me again.

WILBUR:
How are you today?

I rolled my eyes and slid up his notification, getting rid of it. Then, I texted Hannah's number.

Y/N:
Hey Hannah
This is Y/N from the party
Could we hang out?

Hannah replied soon.

HANNAH:
Oh hey!
Sure😌
I'm at my house rn
My address is xxx✨

Y/N:
Thank you
I'll be over shortly

I breathed out, then got my belongings and started the long walk to her house.

-CLAY's POV-
I was sitting down in my computer chair, theorizing about what could be wrong with Y/N when suddenly, my phone rang.

I grabbed it off my desk to see Y/N's father was calling me, making my eyebrows squish together. I picked up shortly.

CLAY:
"Hello?"

DAD:
"Hello Clay. Come over to our house right now and bring George with you. We need to talk." He spoke lowly.
