The Triangle

Chapter 161 ? Umbrella

-Y/N's POV-
I scoffed again.

Y/N:
"I made you a better person? How?"

WILBUR:
"You were just being...you...and I liked that..." He spoke shyly.

I sighed while readjusting in my seat.

Y/N:
"Okay..." I said awkwardly, "Tell me who Mr. Jay was because those idiots never told me."

His expression became cold, his eyes fell to the table.

WILBUR:
"I don't think they'd want me telling you that..." He said lowly.

Y/N:
"Bruh, they don't own me." I rolled my eyes, "Tell me what I wanna know, otherwise this ice cream is going all over your head."

Wilbur sighed.

WILBUR:
"It's not just that...I want to protect you from all the trauma you went through...honestly, I think it's a good thing that your brain forgot about him...he wasn't a good person..."

I tilted my head then stood up, and grabbed my ice cream cup. Wilbur frowned while holding his hands together under the table.

WILBUR:
"Y/N...even though we've had a rough past, it doesn't change how much I've admired our time shared together this year..."

I swallowed hard.

WILBUR:
"You've helped me out with a lot of things...and I'm grateful you gave me a second chance...you've made my life a lot better this year..."

That sentence made me think back to our text thread. I slowly sat back down in my seat, then set my ice cream cup down.

Once I did, I heard next to me, raindrops start to hit the window softly. When I noticed that, I realized that I should leave soon before the rain picked up more, since I didn't have an umbrella on me, nor a ride.

I released a breath then spoke.

Y/N:
"One more question...what decision was I making at the end of the year?"

His eyes widened all the way.

Y/N:
"Was it a decision to be friends with you or...?"

Wilbur bit the inside of his cheek while blinking several times. Instead of answering the question, he stayed silent, which annoyed me even more.

Y/N:
"Hello? Earth to idiot—"

I looked at his eyes, and noticed there were slight tears in them, making my eyebrows squish together.

I sighed in response, deciding to have a little sympathy for him.

Y/N:
"Thanks for the ice cream..." I raised my eyebrows, stood up then grabbed the cup.

After that, I walked to the glass door. Once I was about to push it open, Wilbur stood up.

WILBUR:
"Wait, did you walk here?"

Y/N:
"Yeah? Why?" I turned around to face him.

WILBUR:
"Stay here." He jogged to the back, making me sigh since the idiot was taking up my time.

I waited like he told me to, and I wasn't sure as to why, I guess my curiosity sparked. So, after a few moments, Wilbur returned with an umbrella in his hand. He raised it up to hand it to me.

WILBUR:
"It's raining. I think you could use this."

My eyes gazed out the window to see that he was right, the rain was picking up more. So, I moved my attention back to him, holding the black umbrella.

Slowly, I looked up to meet his brown eyes.

I didn't know why, but I couldn't look away from them in this moment. For some reason, him giving me an umbrella made something in my heart flutter, even though I would never admit it.
