*2 nights later*

It was a usual Monday night, I was lying in bed scrolling through my phone secretly scrolling through Quinton's Instagram.
Then my mum called from her room,

Mum: Honey! Could you open the window please, let's some fresh air in!

I rolled my eyes.

Y/n: sure mum! I'll do it now.

I got up to open my window and seen Quinton, he seemed really upset and looked like he was crying, I never thought boys really cried until the moment I seen him, he looked up and I knew there was no point hiding so I smiled and acted casual and he waved at me. I tried asking him if he was okay but he couldn't understand so I picked up my note book and wrote down "are you okay?"
Quinton also got his out and wrote back to me.

Quinton: no, not really

y/n: why?

Quinton: my girlfriend cheated on me :/

I tried my best to hide my smile once I read the note. Does this mean he was single? Could I finally make a move? I wrote back:

Y/n: oh no, why would she do that?

Quinton: come out? I'll explain

Y/n: sure give me 2 minutes :)

Quinton stuck his thumb up and I went to get ready

I wore a blue oversized hoodie and some grey shorts and kept my hair down.

Y/n: mum I'm going out okay?

Mum: where are you going this late?

Y/n: just to see a friend

Mum: hmm okay. Don't be out to late!

I lied because I knew she wouldn't let me go see Quinton and 11:30 in the night.
I walked out and seen Quinton at the end of my driveway, he still looked upset.

Y/n: I'm really sorry about Cynthia..

Quinton: how do you know her name?

Y/n: oh um- uhh she's friends with Kayla

Quinton: oh, I guess there's other things she never told me..

Y/n: hey, don't bring yourself down, this isn't your fault, it's hers, the right person will come along and make you happy

Even the thought of Quinton being with someone hurt..

Quinton: I guess your right

He looked up at me and smiled

Y/n: I know this isn't a good time but can we go from here? If my mum catches me I'll be dead

I laughed

Quinton: oh ye sure, sorry

Y/n: no, no it's okayy, but where could we go?

Quinton: I know, just follow me

Y/n: please don't kidnap me

He laughed at what I said

Quinton: don't worry I won't

He took me down to this little forest, I'd never been down before but it was such a pretty place until this happened

Quinton: right, we need to cross a river

Y/n: what!? No I can't

Quinton: I'll help you, you'll be fine

Y/n: hmm, I'm not so sure about that

Quinton held out his hand and I grabbed on. It didn't feel real, I was holding his hand! I got so distracted by the fact that he was holding my hand that I fell into the water causing him to fall with me.
We both got soaked and I was so embarrassed

Y/n: omg I am so sorry, are you okay

Quinton: well not gonna lie I'm a bit wet if you haven't noticed

I giggled

Y/n: ye um, I'm sorry

Quinton: I'm only joking it's finee

We both got up and I took my hoodie off because the water made it massively heavy so I was now in a tank top.

Y/n: it's so cold

Quinton: here have this, you won't be complaining then

He laughed and handed me his hoodie that he left on the side before we fell, it was so comfy and it smelt exaclty like him.

(This hoodie)

We decided to turn around because we were soaking wet and so we walked back up to our houses

We decided to turn around because we were soaking wet and so we walked back up to our houses. He told me all about Cynthia and she seemed like a bitch. I also made him promise me that they wouldn't get back together for his sake but it was kinda for mine too hehe

Quinton: thanks for tonight y/n

Y/n: it's okay, aslong as I made you feel the slightest bit better

Quinton: you made me feel a lot better

He smiled and I smiled back

Y/n: well goodnight Quinton

Quinton: goodnight

We both went in and I still had his hoodie. I went straight upstairs so my mum wouldn't see that I was wet and got into the shower. After my shower I got into bed with Quinton's hoodie on and I FaceTimed Kayla.

Kayla: heyyy

Kayla: go on..
