Chapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4 Chapter 5
Previously
You moved past Patrick, into your car before driving off.
They were so shocked as you left, in the rearview mirror you still saw them standing in the exact positions.
You just hoped your message finally got to them.
Now
You hit rock bottom.
You felt like there was no escape, you felt like they had won, you weren’t sure what exactly though.
A couple of hours later there was a knock on your door, and since your parents weren’t home you had to go downstairs and open the door.
What you found shocked you beyond belief. There was Patrick and Billy standing right in front of your door, your first instinct was to close the door back on their faces, but before you could do that they both grabbed the door not allowing you to lock them out.
“We are just here to talk,” said Billy as he pushed the door open just a little more so you can see the both of them again.
“Please.” said Patrick almost with a begging voice. You were done with running, you were done with going away and just ignoring them hoping that they would do the same, so you invited both of them inside.
There was an extremely uncomfortable silence between the three of you.
You all sat by the table, you gave everyone a drink.
“Okay, I’ll start.” said Patrick as he turned to you. “I know I have been an asshole about everything. I flirted with you at first because I thought it was fun. You blushed so easily, and it made me go on. But then I realized I liked you. You are not like the other chicks in school. You are smart.”
“And beautiful.” added Billy which made Patrick roll his eyes.
“Look, what we are trying to say is that we both like you and want to be with you. You just have to pick one of us.” finished Patrick.
You really hoped it would never come down to this. That they would just forget you and move on. They didn’t seem the type to be this committed.
“Pick one of you?” you looked at the two of them in front of you. “Both of you are bad for me. Both of you are players, breaking hearts left and right, what kind of a future would I have with any of you?”
“I had a feeling you would say that.” said Billy as he leaned back in his chair. “But I have seen the way you look at us. Both of us. You like us even if we are bad for you as you said.”
“I’m not denying it Billy. But I don’t plan on becoming another name on any of your lists. Another girl out of the many.” they both rolled their eyes at that. “Don’t act like that! I have been to the girl’s bathroom at school! I heard cries and conversations!”
“But you are different, Y/N. Can’t you see that? I have been chasing after you for over a year before Hargrove even arrived.”
That was true. You did have a couple sincere moments with Patrick before you even knew Billy existed. But it didn’t change the fact that you were scared.
Scared to get used and then they would just throw you away. Scared that you’d fall in love and then get your heart broken and be left on the sidewalk.
You sighed. “Give me time. I need time to think.” you looked at the two and then both gave you a nod before standing up, ready to leave. “Give me a week.” you said, you knew you’d need probably months, but this will do. Both boys then left your home, leaving you to think. You were just surprised none made a scene or demanded you to be quicker. Maybe they were not as bad as you thought in the first place. Bad boys, yes, but they weren’t bad to you.
A week should be enough right? It should be plenty of time to think about which one you’d choose.
Right?
Of course not!
The week went by quicker than any week ever! And you didn’t even have time to think!
There were exams, homework, even your mother asked you for your help more than usual, it was as if the entire world knew that you needed peace and quiet so it decided to not give you that.
During the week all you managed to achieve is that Billy told you that he and Patrick will see you in the park near your home where you can announce your decision and you’d have some privacy there.
So, the night before, you didn’t sleep at all.
That Saturday evening was the worst. You didn’t know any better so you just had a pen and paper in your hands, writing pros and cons for both men. You even thought about not picking any of the two.
But you knew that wasn’t an option.
As you started to really think about everything that had happened, you slowly realized just how much you cared for both of them. Something that you realized a couple of weeks ago, yet you decided to ignore.
The morning arrived way too quickly.
At that point your stomach started to hurt, you were more and more nervous by the second.
Then lunch arrived and you couldn’t wait any longer, you headed to the park. You wanted this to be over with.
As you walked, you thought everything over and over again.
You started to become more and more confident about your decision. You finally felt in control again.
It made you happy.
And as you arrived at the park, you found both of them already sitting at the bench you were supposed to meet at.
When they both noticed you, they smiled. Seeing you in that flowy summer dress was something they both really liked. You felt a slight breeze as you walked towards them, letting it move your hair and dress, you smiled.
Yes, you were happy.
And as you arrived you stopped in front of the two of them. You noticed how well-dressed they both were, it made your heart warm and you weren’t nervous anymore.
“I have made my decision.”
You were excited.

A/N:Since I could never decide between these two fine men, I decided to write two different endings. One for Billy and another for Patrick. Both will be completely different and I will upload them at the same time, so it might take longer to write than a normal chapter, so apologies for the wait. And seriously thank you all for your support!
