Chapter 105

I'm furious. | don't understand why Silas acted that way with Everest. He was being territorial and | didn't like

that. Everest is my friend and | don't like the way Silas treated him. | admit that Everest may be a little bit

touchy, but he was just being friendly. This is how he usually is with me. "You shouldn't have acted like that," |

tell Silas with a frown as we walk out of the café. "Everest is my friend and you shouldn't have treated him that

way." "Friends don't act like that Rosie," he argues. His face shows the anger he's doing his best to conceal.

"We act like that Silas and we're friends," | remind him. Why is he giving himself the right to act that way, but

expects Everest to act differently? Doesn't he see the way we hug and how we kiss each other on the cheeks?

"Are you actually comparing our friendship to your friendship with him?" Disbelief is obvious on his face and |

can't help but wonder if he's right. "We have been friends for six years, Rosie! You have known him for less than

six months and he's acting like that!" "You're acting like our friendship has been long," | scoff. Maybe I'm taking it

too far. Why am | acting like this? My friendship with Everest is fairly new, but I still don't like how nosy Silas is

being. He doesn't have the right to act like that. He is just my friend! A friend who used to do nothing but

infuriate me!

"What do you mean?" He frowns in confusion.

"Nothing," | mumble, not wanting to escalate the situation.

"No, Rosie. | want to know," he presses and I sigh.

"Drop it, Silas." | avoid his gaze.

"No, I'm not going to drop it," he says.

"We've been friends since July or August, Silas. Before that, all that you cared about was getting on my nerves!

Our situation isn't that different from my friendship with Everest. And we've only gotten closer because of the

fake-dating thing." The way his face falls makesrealize how much of an a* | a**ike it. He doesn't have the

right to choose my friends.

"I'm sorry for overstepping, Rosie," he says and takes a step away from me. Something about that breaks my

heart a little. What the hell is wrong withand why am | doing this to him?

"Maybe we shouldn't have dinner together today," | mumble. | don't want him to feel forced to spend twith

"As you like." He nods. No, | don't want him to agree with me. This isn't the Silas I'm used to, "I got you this." He

handsa bag before | even get to react then walks away.

| watch him as he leaves and | debate going after him. Hurting Silas isn't something I'm fond of, but when | felt

like he crossed a line, | couldn't help it.

| sigh and walk to the nearest pi**a to get myself something to eat since I'm not in the mood for cooking. After |

place my order, | sit at one of the tables and look inside the bag.

My heart sinks in my stomach when | realize what he has gotten me. Five books. Five newly released books that |

don't own. My eyes

brim with tears as | eye the books and | suddenly feel awful because of the way | treated him.

| have noticed the way Silas has been acting withand | keep wondering if Silas maybe likesin a way

more than friends like each other. | don't want to entertain those thoughts because I'm scared that they may be

nothing but imagination.

| sometimes find myself drawn to Silas in a special way. | find myself thinking about him and the way he treats

me. He treatsso well. No guy has ever treatedlike that. Whenever we're together, it's hard to get bored.

| cannot bring myself to forget the way he massaged my scalp when | told him | had a headache when we were

watching a movie with his friends.

If he has feelings for me, | want him to tell me. Perhaps | can then excuse the way he sees Everest. | don't know

how to deal with mixed signals. | want him to be clear with me.

Everest knows that Silas and | are dating and | told him nothing about it being fake, but | know that our

relationship is fake, so I don't know why Silas acts like it's real. If he acted the way he did because he was just

playing the boyfriend role to sell our lie to the people, he would have told me. He didn't attribute his actions to

our fake relationship. Maybe | would have justified his actions if he had done that.

Silas wasn't acting. He was simply being himself. He seemed very... jealous as if we were a real couple.

We have known each other for years and | don't know if something has blossomed between us. | don't know if

Kendall and Sabrina are right. Am | more than just a close friend to Silas?

Is he scared of making a move? Is it because he doesn't know how | feel? Well, I'm not sure how | feel too, but all

I know is that | don't hate him. Even at our worst, | have never hated him. If anything, | think I'm starting to feel

something for him.

So many thoughts are running through my head and all | want to do is call him and let him explain why he acted

the way he did. As I'm waiting for the pizza, lost in my own thoughts, a loud explosion erupts in the place that

causes everything to shake, including my body.
