I left from the Cafeteria, tears starting to fall from my eyes.

How could he shout on me like this. And that too because of Clara?
Will he ever get over her?
I like him so much, will he ever understand?

I was walking on the street that's when I realised I had no where to go.

I cannot go to my place, and I don't want to go at Evan's.

I called Caleb.
He answered almost immediately.

"Heyy Beccs, where have you been? I didn't hear from you since that day at the beach... what's up?", he said in a very cheerful tone.

"I.. umm.. Can I come over at your place for sometime?", I asked him, sobbing.

"Becca? Are you crying? What's wrong? Where are you?", he asked, his voice full of concern.

I looked around and told him where I was exactly.

"Stay there. I'll be there in five. And please stop crying. I am coming.", he said and I hung up.

2 minutes later I heard my phone ring.

It was Evan who was calling.
I fought the urge to pick up his call.

He called me twice after that but I ignored both of them.

Some moments later I heard a familiar voice calling me from a distance.

I turned to see Caleb running towards me.

"Becca? What happened? What are you doing here so early in the morning and why were you crying?", he asked.

"I ummm..."

Should I tell him about what happened?
But I have no energy to explain anything right now..
I just want to curl up in a blanket and take a nap.

"Come with me.", he said putting his arm around my shoulder and leading me towards his car.

On the way to his house, he asked me what was wrong, but I denied to answer.

We reached at his place in around 5 minutes.

"Caleb, can I please take a nap?"

"Sure Becca, you don't have to ask. You can use my room, I'll be around. Do you want something to eat or drink before sleeping?", he asked.

"No, I'll pass. ", I said and went to his room.

When I woke up, I checked the time in the watch on his side table. It was almost after lunchtime now. I was so hungry. I w
Haven't had anything since morning.

I also found a note on his side table.

Heyy Beccs,
Hope you slept well.
I have to go and do some work that dad wanted me to do today itself.
I'll be back in the evening, make yourself comfortable.
And ya, Evan had called but I didn't tell him that you were with me. He sounded worried. Call him maybe.
You can stay here for as long as you want. Feel like home.
Take care :*
-Caleb

After reading the note, I checked my phone.

23 missed calls???!!

I had 23 missed calls from Evan.

I think I should go back home.

I made a quick call to Caleb to inform his that I was leaving.

When I reached home, I saw Evan standing by the windown fiddli g witb his phone. I think he was calling someone. He looked worried.

He turned around when I shut the door behind me.

When he saw me, he came running towards me.

"Where the fuck where you?", he said holding me by my shoulders.

I looked down at the floor and didn't answer.

"Where were you Becca? Answer me. I was so worried.", he said, this time his voice was soft.

Worried?
Worried my foot.

"Worried?", I looked straight into his green eyes.

"Yes Becca. I called you so many times. You didn't answer any of them. I was worried for you... you just left the cafeteria.."

"I didn't just leave the cafeteria. I left because of you!", I half shouted.

"I know I shouldn't have shouted on you but when there is anything that reminds me of Clara happens, I get worked up and when that waiter called you my girlfriend.. I just.. "

"You just what Evan? You just reminded me that I am no one.", I said and tears flooding my eyes.

"Becca?", he said and took a tentative step towards me.

I almost immediately stepped back.

He frowned.

"Why are you crying? What is wrong Becca?", he asked.

"Everything.
Every fucking thing is wrong Evan.
The moment I met you, was wrong.
The moment you told me about Clara, was wrong.
When you told me about your past, it was wrong.
The fact that I came so close to you is wrong!", I said still crying.

"But I thought we were friends.", he said.

"Friends?", I fake laughed.

He frowned.

"Exactly Evan. Friends. This is the problem. You are not just a friend to me.", I said.

"What do you mean Becca?", he asked.

"What do I mean?
I mean that you, Evan Harrison, has managed to enter and make a place in my life in just 2 weeks.
I don't know why I started feeling this for you.
I mean that I like you, you jerk!"

Here, I said it.

He didn't say a word.

To say that he was shocked would be an understatement.

He moved his hands through his hair.

I wiped my tears with the back of my hands and ran towards Ben's room.

I wish I could go to my house right now.

I slammed the door behind me.

I couldn't stop crying.

Oh god....
What have I done....
I just confessed it..
