II Fading Into The Night IISteven×Duff Fanfiction II

11. where is Duff?

Stevens pov:

"Fucking moron." Izzy says.

Duff is gone.

"He'll return." I say and take a sip.

"He isn't the one I'm calling a moron." Izzy says.

"I'm a moron? Why am I a moron?" I say and take another sip.

"Because of you Duff is gone. You knew you were making him mad." Izzy says.

"He fucking kissed me." I say.

"Because he loves you!" Izzy says.

I just stare blankly at Izzy.

"He... He what?" I ask.

I feel so weird.

"He likes you. He has a crush on you how ever you want to call it." Izzy says and takes a sip of his wine.

"Since when?" I ask.

"Since he first saw you." Izzy says and takes another sip.

"Omg. And I didn't know all this time?" I say.

It all makes sence now.

He snuck out if his house to see me, when he also could have just called me.

I think back of when I told him I was dating Sarah. Now I think of it, he looked pretty sad.

Do I like him?
I don't know.
I don't know what to feel.

"Why does he like me?" I say.

"I don't fucking know. Everything is a mess right now." Izzy says and takes a sip.

"Since when did you know?" I ask him.

"Since yesterday. Him kissing you was my idea." Izzy says.

"Oh." I say.

I don't know what to do. I feel so lost. I just want this to be a dream.

"I'll call Duff." Izzy says.

I look at Izzys phone. He holds it mext to his ear.

"Hey man. Where the fuck are you? Steven has calmed down. Can you find your way back?" I hear Izzy say.

I take a big sip from the whiskey.

After five minutes Duff returns with his bottle of vodka almost empty.

"Are you both calmed down?" Izzy asks as we sit down.

Duff nods. I nod too.

"Does someone wants to say something or are we gonna sit here in an awkward silence?" Izzy asks.

"Uhm Duff... I don't want things to be weird between us. Can we just act as if nothing has happend?" I say.

"Sure." Duff says with no emotion in his voice. I see a tear rolling down his face.

I don't know what I should do.

Izzy starts a conversation. After a couple of minutes the ambiance has cleared up.

After a couple of hours we go home.

I say goodbye and walk inside.

"How was the party?" my mom asks as I step inside.

"It was nice." I say and try to sound happy.

I feel lost.

"Have you had alchohol?" my mom asks she gets up.

I look at her.
"No." I say.

"I can smell the whiskey from here." My mom says as she's five feet away from me.

"Go to your room." She says she sounds mad.

Wothout saying a word I go to my room.

Steven: my mom is pissed at me again XD

I text Duff.

Hoping he isn't mad at me.
I would hate myself if I lose this friendship.

I mean, I still have Slash and Brandon. And I like them.

But I don't know.
Duff is different.

Diff is so nice to me.

Do I like him too?

Does he still like me?
Why do I want him to like me?
Why don't I know what to do?

I've never had to worry about something like this.

I never had to worry about a guy liking me.
I never had to worry about my best friend liking me.

I can't tell anyone how I feel.

My mom walks in my room.

"Just so you know young man. I am very dissapointed in you. You're grounded for..." My mom says.

"I broke up with Sarah." I say.

"Oh. Well that still isn't an excuse for your behaivor. But I understand that you're sad. I understand your emotions." My mom says.

"You're grounded for only a week." My mom says.

"A whole week?" I say.

"Yes. It's better than a whole month." She says.

She leaves and I check my phone.

Still no message from Duff.

Steven: I'm fucking grounded XD

I just hope he isn't mad at me.

I close my eyes and try to sleep.

The next morning I wake up with a head ache.

I'm glad I didn't throw up.

I check my phone.

Still no response from Duff.

Steven: are you mad at me? :(
                Please don't be mad

I hope he isn't mad.

I grab some new clothes and hop in the shower.
I heard somewhere taking a cold shower helps with a hangover.
