Chapter Twenty-Four

Frankie

“I’m gonna head inside, I'm beat from waking up so early to come here.” Miranda yawns, stretching her hands over her head. I don’t think she’s using it as an excuse to leave, she’s exhausted.

“I’ll be up in a few minutes.” I tell her before turning my attention to Liam. Noah’s still in the car, texting someone.

“I had a great time with you tonight. You really are a great dancer.”

“Thanks, Liam. I had a great time with you too. You helped me forget everything else.”

“You’re still not ready, are you?”

I give him a sad smile. I know I'm not ready, but not for the reasons he thinks. I need to explore this thing I feel between Noah and I before I can start something new.

“I'm not. I like you, Liam, but I think we’d be better as friends. At least for right now.”

His face falls, the disappointment clear as day. It kills me to upset him but I don’t want to lead him on. My eyes snap to Noah when he gets out of the Jeep, leaning against the side and waiting. Liam’s gaze follows my own, his jaw tightens, eyes narrowing on Noah.

“I get it.”

“Liam...”

“No, I get it, I'm not him.”

“Please don’t be like that.”

“Like what? Hurt that you’re picking him over me? Annoyed if you’d met me first you wouldn’t give someone like him the time of day? I don’t know how to hide my feelings like Noah does. I'm not him and I never will be.”

“I'm not asking you to be anyone but yourself. I'm asking you to be my friend because I sure as hell need some right now.”

“You’re asking me to step aside, ignore my feelings towards you, and let that asshole get his chance with you.”

“He’s your best friend, why do you hate him so much?” I don’t get it. Why’s Liam friends with Noah if he hates him this much? Liam runs a hand roughly through his hair, frustration rolling off of him.

“I don’t hate him... I just don’t understand him. I don’t understand why all the girls always want him. He’s such a miserable son of a bitch, why would you want to date that?”

I don’t know how to answer his question. I don’t know why I want to date Noah; I just do.

“I don’t know why other girls want to date him but I know why I like him.”

“Why? I just don’t get it.”

“Noah was my entire world. He was there for every single memory I have from childhood. I thought about him every single day while I was gone, it killed me that we lost touch with each other. When I'm with him, everything else seems to fade away. He feels like home to me.” I shrug my shoulders. I really can’t explain it to him any other way. “Don’t punish him for my behavior, I think he needs you right now even though he won’t admit it. If you want to hate someone, you can hate me. I want to stay friends with you but I understand if that’s not what you want.
