Boyfriends || The Story Inside My Mind (BxB) [FIRST SEASON]

《Chapter 5》Confusing Feelings

When we reach school, before we can even get inside, we are stopped by a girl. "Adam where were you last night!?" She asked angry.

"I was out" he answers "where did you go, I came by your house and you mom said you were staying with a friend" she  looked at me and takes a step closer

"you! Was he with you last night" I put my arms up in defense, I don't think it would be smart of me to add to the discussion.

"Rachel, calm down. I went to his house, and then the storm made it so that I had no other choice but to stay there. Don't go crazy about nothing, I'm not a kid, I can take care of myself"

I have never seen him angry, not even irritated, somehow it made me a bit jealous knowing she could make him this way and I couldn't.

Who is she Anyway. "I'm not treating you like a kid, I'm just looking out for you. Isn't that what childhood-friends do ?"

Childhood-friends?

"You doing it to much, I got to go now, we'll finish this conversation later" he turned around and went inside, I followed him, but as I looked behind me, Rachel seemed angry, but not at Adam. Why did he snap like that?

--

"Are you okay?" I managed to catch up to him "Yeah, I'm fine" i know he said they're friends, but they looked like they were fighting. Maybe its better of I leave it alone for now.

Before we could meet up with our friends, the bell rang, and it was time for class already.

Afterwards, it was time for lunch, Adam came to my desk. "Are you ready" i looked at him confused, but quickly remembered, he had a key to that empty classroom

"if we go now we won't have to bring anyone else" he grabbed my arm and before I could respond, we were walking to the room.

It was a normal classroom, but all the desks were up against the wall. "What's this room?" I ask as I walk in.

"It's for special events" He answered getting some desk in a position that formed a table, he grabbed two chairs and put them next to it "oh my god" I stood there in awe, he looked at me confused

"what's wrong" he sat down and started eating, "oh..n- nothing" i took a seat next to him and we started on our lunch.

A few minutes went by, and we just sat there, in silence. "Ok I can't take it anymore, what happened this morning" it just escaped, I couldn't help it.

He looked shocked, then he got a sad look on his face "it's fine, nothing important" "what do you mean nothing important, aren't you guys friends. You shouldn't fight like this" I felt myself getting a little mad myself

"I-it's fine really, we're not fighting." He was faking a smile. I grabbed my chair and moved it so I could look him in eyes, without him looking away. "Are you sure" it was silent for a bit

"I-"

*KNOCK KNOCK *

"Adam? Are you in here?" Is that...Rachel? "Oh no, Uhm" he started to panic a little. "What do I do" I got up and walked to the door. When I opened it Rachel looked surprised "Nathan?" I pushed her in and closed the door "what are you doing??" She asked, still not sure what's going on

"talk, I'm  not putting up with either of you when you're like this" I locked the door and listened to their conversation.

"Adam?" She carefully asked.. I didn't hear anything "I'm- I'm sorry.." she said again
"it's fine " He answered. "No it's not, you're right, I shouldn't have acted like that"

"no, it's okay, really. I'm not angry about that, you've always been like that, I'm not angry at you" wait, what is he talking about "what? Then, why did you get angry?"

It was quiet for a while, I though about going in, but when I reached for the handle he continued.

"Because im confused." He said out of nowhere "confused about what?" He got quiet once again. "C-can we talk about this tonight?" He asked "Uhm..yeah sure, again I'm sorry..is it really okay?"

"Yeah..I just want to be alone for a second, I'm not angry at you" after that the door opened again. Rachel hugged him and then left.

"What was that about?" I ask as I walk inside "it's nothing..." he silently said "I don't think you're telling the truth, if something is wrong please tell me "i-I'm Sorry, I need some time alone." He left the room and I didn't see him again that day.

--

Its been a week, and I still haven't heard from Adam, I hope he's okay.
I tried texting him, but he didn't answer me. I could barely sleep, what's wrong with me. Why can't I stop worrying.

I went down to get some water, and I saw my mom on the couch, she was reading a book. "Nathan?!" I guess I scared her, she quickly put her book down, "is something wrong, you can't sleep?" She got up and touched my cheek

"you look terrible, what's wrong" before I knew it I couldn't hold it back anymore "I'm just worried, Adam has been gone for a week, and I can't seem to stop worrying, I just want him to be okay" my mom pulled me into a hug,

"it's okay, it's normal to be worried for a friend" "I know that, it's just. I never get this worried over anyone else, what should I do?" She let go of me and looked me in the eyes, "what do you mean"

"I mean- I don't know what I mean, I just want him to let me know what's wrong" my mom looked at me worried "it's okay" she pulled me into a hug, then let go of me. She went and got some water

"here. Drink this, calm down and try to get some sleep. I'm sure he's fine" I nodded and took the glass. I went back upstairs and sat on the bed, staring at my phone, all of a sudden it lit up

____________________________________________________________

Adam
Hey.. are you still awake

You
You, what's wrong, why didn't you answer my texts until now

Adam
I'm sorry, it's a long story

You
Well, can you tell me, you got me worried.

Adam
You should stop worrying about me. Don't get my hopes up

You
Get your hopes up? What do you mean

Adam
Nothing, can I tell you tomorrow, after school.

You
Yeah, sure. Are you really okay?

Adam
Yeah, just. I'll explain it tomorrow

You
Yeah, please do

Adam
Goodnight...

You
Goodnight

I couldn't help but feel relieved, but I was still pretty worried. Tomorrow couldn't get here fast enough.

The next day after school. He came to my desk, told me to come with him, and we went to the room again. Right after he closed the door, I could help myself, I hugged him with all my strength

"w-what are you doing ?!" I surprised him but couldn't let go of him. "I-I'm not sure, I'm just happy you're back"

"you really should stop talking about that. It'll give me the wrong idea" he started crying, but I couldn't look him in the eyes. "What's wrong, please tell me"

I let go of him so I could look at him better, he took a deep breath. Tears still in his eyes.

"I think I'm in love with you"
