-chapter twenty four-

She knew from the start Scott would never look at her in such a way, but she still wanted to try her luck.

The moment she found out Alex had feelings for Scott, she knew she didn't have a chance again.

She walked to the refrigerator, she took out a beer, which she kept for her friends to drink anytime they came to her house.

As she opens the beer to drink, she heard a knock on the door. she stood up to open it, but before she could get near to the door, it opened and William wills walked inside.

William Wills is also a childhood friend of Scott and Dawn.

As William Wills enters the house, he noticed Dawn looks sad and had dried tears on her face. He was surprised at how she looks, but the surprised look on his face wiped off the moment he figured out what made look this way.

Since he had known Dawn, only few things or to be precise few people can make her cry, and Scott comes first in that category.

He didn't need to ask what happened, he dropped his phone which he held with his hand on the chair, he moved closer to her and pulled her to a tight hug.

Dawn who had calmed down a little felt emotional again as tears fell from her eyes. She rapped her hands around him and starts crying.

After she cried out everything in her heart, William Wills brought her to the couch closest to them. He sat down and placed her head on his lap and strokes her hair. "Do you have anything you want to talk about?" he asked.

Dawn stayed quiet for some time, then she opened her mouth, "Yes." came the short reply.

"And what's that?" he questioned again softly.

"Have you ever experienced being in love with a person who loves another person, and never looks at you or think of you in any other way, other than a friend?." She asked as she stares into space.

William Wills was quite for a few seconds, he stared at her face before looking away as he replied, " I have," he said as his eyes held heavy emotions, then he continues, "I have also comforted the person Everytime she cries for that person, and even encouraged her to be hopeful that everything will be alright."

Dawn missed the look in his eyes when he said that. She told William a long time ago that she was in love with Scott. William is the only person she shares her pain with, because he is always there when she is down.

**********

At a villa far away, Scott looks at himself through the mirror to see if his outfit is okay.

The moment he left Dawn's house, he went straight to his house. He made plans on her to confess his feelings to Alex, which he is now executing.

After checking himself one last time, he took his car keys and walked outside. He entered his car and starts it. Before he could drive out of the compound his phone rings.

He checked who is calling and sees it is William Wills. He picks the call, "Hello" he said.

"Hi, hm are you busy right now?" William asked. He had left Dawn's place and went straight to a bar.

"Is anything the matter?" Scott questioned back.

"No. I just wanted to ask you out for a drink." William replied.

Scott wanted to say he was busy, but decided against it, 'I could use a little Alcohol to boost my confidence' he thought, "where are you right now?"

"Am at Wills restaurant and bar." Wills restaurant and bar is a small business under Wills corporation.

" Ok, I'll meet you there, give me twenty minutes."
