The Triangle

Chapter 155 ? Soul

Y/N:
"I want to lie so badly...but I don't want to lie to you..." I admitted while resting my arms over his shoulders, finally locking eyes with him, "I don't know who I'm going to choose..."

His eyes widened as his lips parted in shock.

Y/N:
"You would think I would know..." I bit the inside of my cheek while looking down in disappointment, "You would think it'd be simple to tell who owns my heart...but to be honest, for these past couple of weeks...all I've been thinking about is you..."

GEORGE:
"But not in that way..." He said quietly with a frown.

I released a shaky breath out, then sat down on the bed next to his feet.

GEORGE:
"Y/N...do you still like me...?"

Y/N:
"Yes..." I didn't hesitate, "But I still like them too..."

George's lips curled down farther.

Y/N:
"I have no clue what I'm going to do..." I whispered as slight tears began forming in my eyes, "Everyone's expecting an answer from me but...I don't have one..."

GEORGE:
"It's okay if you don't..."

Y/N:
"No, it's not..." I shook my head while staring down at my lap, "I told you guys that by graduation, I'd have a decision, but I don't—I—"

I released another shaky breath out as I shut my eyes.

Y/N:
"I...I have so many thoughts going on inside my head too..."

George reached out his hand to hold mine. Our fingers soon intertwined, and the both of us squeezed each other's hands for comfort.

GEORGE:
"We can be overthinkers together." He sadly smiled at me, trying to lighten the mood.

I sadly smiled back, then shortly laid down next to him in the hospital bed. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, meanwhile, I placed mine around his waist, leaning my head into his chest.

Y/N:
"George..."

GEORGE:
"Yeah...?"

Y/N:
"No matter who I choose tomorrow...I want you to know that...you'll always be my flower..." I said quietly, "Something so full of life...something so easy to love...something that makes the world more beautiful...you make the world more beautiful George...you make my world more beautiful..."

He sadly smiled at me with slight tears in his eyes. George shortly rested the side of his head on mine.

GEORGE:
"Y/N, ever since we met on that playground..." He began, "Every single day since then...being with you has been...has been the most perfect thing ever..."

I blushed while smiling at the sheet.

GEORGE:
"When I was asleep...I dreamt about you..." He revealed.

Y/N:
"You did?" I lifted my head up to meet his eyes.

GEORGE:
"Yeah..." He nodded while glancing at my lips, "We had a little boy and a little girl...twins..."

My lips curled up farther.

GEORGE:
"They looked exactly like us..." He whispered, "We tucked them in together...and you said you chose me...it felt amazing...until it didn't..."

My eyebrows squished together as my smile faded.

GEORGE:
"No matter who you choose tomorrow...I can't lose them..."

Y/N:
"I can't lose you guys either...and we won't...you'll never lose me, George Davidson...I promise..."

He sadly smiled then leaned in, kissing my lips softly. I returned his love back, then we slowly split apart.

GEORGE:
"You won't lose me either...I promise..."

Y/N:
"I almost did..." My lips curled down, "You know how you've...you've always gone on about how much stronger Clay and Nick are? You're wrong, you've always been wrong..."

He swallowed hard.

Y/N:
"You're strong, George...you are to me...you always have been..." I spoke softly to him.

GEORGE:
"How...?"

Y/N:
"Well...other than the obvious of you surviving a stab in the heart...you're going to be surviving another stab in the heart tomorrow, if things don't go your way..."

He frowned.

Y/N:
"I know your hearts in my hands...but no matter what tomorrow brings...I'm never going to let it bleed ever again..."

George slowly leaned his head against mine and squeezed me tighter.

Y/N:
"I'm just annoyed at myself because I still don't know who I'm going to pick..."

He was silent for a few moments, but shortly, he spoke.

GEORGE:
"My parents never told me they loved me until this year...so I never knew what love was, or how to express it...I haven't been very good at showing my emotions or talking about my feelings, but...it's because of you that I know what love is now..."

Y/N:
"What is it...?"

He paused, taking a deep breath in.

GEORGE:
"Love is when someone gives you a piece of your soul that you never knew was missing..." He said quietly.

That one sentence struck me hard in the heart.

GEORGE:
"It's the person you go to when you're upset...it's the person you can open up to easily...it's the one who doesn't judge you at all...who listens to your problems...and it's someone who you never doubt...you know deep down that they never want anyone except for you...and when your lips touch...it's two puzzle pieces connecting...and you can't wait to wake up to that person every single day for the rest of your life...to wake up to that goofy laugh...to wake up to those beautiful eyes...to wake up knowing that...you're home...a place you never want to leave...stuck like glue..."

At that moment, I thought about all of my love interests, and in that moment, I realized the thing I've been waiting for.

When George was describing all of that to me, there was one specific name that popped into my head, and images of me doing all of the things he said with them.

I realized who was the one person who gave me a piece of my soul that I never knew was missing.

After a few moments, I looked up at George to see his eyes were shut, he had fallen asleep. I softly smiled at him, then kissed his cheek gently.

With my decision in mind, I blushed with my smile, and fell asleep, knowing who finally owned my heart.

❥ A/N: Sorry for not uploading for over a week, y'all. Lately, I haven't really felt like myself and I haven't been in the mood to write because of it.

❥ But onto a more positive note, if you think that just because Y/N finally knows who her decision is means the book is over, you're wrong lol.

❥ This book is far from over, and you'll see why in the next chapter🤭

❥ Also for fun, are most of y'all still on team Wilbur or did the George-based chapters make you change your mind lol

❥Thanks for reading!
