The Triangle

Chapter 125 ? Realize

Y/N:
"I have no time, silly. I'd rather look good than eat."

MOM:
"You do eat at school, right?"

She blinked slowly with a smile.

Y/N:
"Yep—" She lied, "Okay bye love you!"

Y/N and I ran out the front door hand in hand while her parents shouted that they love her back.

When the front door shut, I looked at Y/N with slight concern.

GEORGE:
"You really don't eat any breakfast? At all?"

Y/N:
"Well on the weekends I do." She shrugged.

GEORGE:
"You care about your looks that much?" My eyebrows squished together.

Y/N:
"Well yeah."

I slightly frowned.

GEORGE:
"But you're beautiful just the way you are. You don't need makeup or anything. You should make time to eat breakfast every morning."

Her eyes trailed to the concrete.

Y/N:
"I do what I think is best..."

GEORGE:
"But—"

Y/N:
"George—" She held her hands on my shoulders, stopping us from walking, "I appreciate it, really, I do. But the prettiest people can still be insecure...all those models on the magazines are pretty because they do things that aren't pretty...I do what I want..."

I nodded slowly.

GEORGE:
"Sorry..."

Y/N:
"It's okay, I know you mean well...let's leave it." She lightly smiled.

• REALITY •
She wore black shorts that day with a black t-shirt. She told me flat out that she skips the most important meal of the day. She admitted that she starves herself sometimes just so she can look beautiful when she's always has been.

I didn't notice the change at that time, but I'm realizing it now. I should've realized it then.

-NICK's POV-

• FLASHBACK (CH. 33) •

CLAY:
"Y/N, we know what happened and, if you wanna take your anger out on us, it's okay. We just wanna be there for you." His eyebrows squished together in sadness, "It's killing us to see you this way..."

She clenched her jaw while thinking. Her eyes narrowed at me.

Y/N:
"It's your fault she's dead..." She snapped, making everyone's eyes widen, "I told you that guy looked suspicious but YOU'RE the one who told me it wasn't a big deal! I knew something was wrong and you made me spend the whole day almost dying when she probably did when I almost did!!"

Her voice trembled as the tears filled her eyes again. Y/N shook her head while frowning at me with a glare.

Y/N:
"You told me I was paranoid and all that time I was...I could've been off, saving her...! It's your fault...it's your fault I'm like this..." She twitched her nose while staring me down.

My glossy eyes fell to my lap as my lips curled down lower. I was disappointed in myself.

• REALITY •
Y/N told me point-blank how she felt about me, and my friends made me believe it was just because she was hurt about Nicole.

But I was right. When people are angry, they do say the things they mean. And I know now that Y/N did mean everything she said about me.

I just haven't realized it until now.

-WILBUR's POV-

• FLASHBACK (CH. 13) •

WILBUR:
"That was pretty rude, not inviting her to have lunch with you."

Y/N:
"If she's there, you will be too..." She spoke lowly.

I turned around and hovered over her against the wall. Her eyes widened in response. I had one hand on the wall next to her shoulder and the other one, I used as a head rest. She swallowed hard at me.

WILBUR:
"And what's so wrong with that?" I grinned.

She glared at me hard then clenched her jaw as something clicked in her.

Y/N:
"Everything. So go hit on another bitch, this one has no time for your bullshit." She snapped.

My eyes widened as I froze. She pushed my chest, releasing my grip off the wall as I looked at her in disbelief.

• REALITY •
She snapped because of me. I always flirted with her, even though she didn't like it. She reached her breaking point with me, just like she said she would.

-ALL's POV-

ALL:
"It's all my fault..."
