-chapter twenty three-

Dawn looks at him with a painful expression, which he didn't catch due to him looking at his phone. "Scott, I think it's better to tell him how you feel and get this over with." she said, with pain in her voice which was not noticed by Scott.

" I can't," Scott replied with a low voice, " What if he rejects me, then everything we share will be....., I... I really don't want to lose him. I think I'm fine with the way things are right now."

" YOU ARE FINE WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE RIGHT NOW?, MAN UP WOULD YOU AND CONFESS YOUR DAMN FEELINGS TO HIM" Dawn shouted at him as she seems to have had enough.

Scott became angry with the way she shouted at him and told him to man up. He was already feeling miserable and irritated right now, and this seems to fuel his anger. " Don't tell me what to do and Stop being an hypocrite right now." Scott retorted. He knows Dawn has a crush on a boy since childhood, dawn told him by mistake but didn't mention the boy's name. He also knows Dawn hasn't been able to confess her feelings to the boy and has been waiting for the perfect time.

Dawn felt pain in her heart when she heard this. She knew she should not have told Scott about her crush on a boy, but she couldn't resist as she was very drunk when her asked her the question. From the moment upward, she stayed clear from drinking alcohol, especially when she's with him.

Scott stands up from the couch, he looks at his dressing if it's was ok, and checked if his things are with him. He then turned to Dawn, "I think you are right, I should have told him a long time ago. I was looking for the right time, then I figured out there's no right time, I have to make the time right." He said calmly, then he continues, " I just hope I'm not too late."

"I guess now is the time for me to do what I had to do. I will get going." He walks towards her and hugged her. "Wish me good luck."

"Good luck." Dawn said silently as she hugs Scott.

After they parted from the hug, Scott walked towards the door and left.

Dawn watched him as he walked out of the door. The tears which she was holding flew out.

Scott might not have noticed nor anybody, but she noticed, she noticed the way Alex looks at Scott, everybody thought Alex's love for Scott was a brotherly kind of love, but she knew it was more than that.

She first find it suspicious Everytime Scott's name was mentioned in a topic Alex would become interested in it even though he doesn't want to get involved in the first place. Then Everytime Scott was in trouble or bullied, without waiting for his brother or family to take action, he would jump right in and rescue him.

After many occasions, she found out Alex had feelings for Scott but hid it. She didn't know the reason why he hid it, but she knew one of the reasons was the fear of losing Scott.
