All Chapters of When Best Friends Kiss: Chapter 331 - Chapter 340

(RORY'S POV)"Is this really what my name is saved as on your phone? Bestie?" The expression Todd had on his face looked like he was staring at a pool of puke on my phone screen.I frowned and tried to take my phone back but he held it away from my reach."Please, baby." He said and a pool of heat gathered in my stomach. "You have to do something about this.""Something like what?" I folded my arms across my chest and rolled my eyes even though a smirk tugged at my lips."Something like changing my name on your phone." He glanced at the phone again and then shook his head, almost like he could not believe what he saw."Don't be dramatic." I said, leaning my head on his chest. "I love the name. It reminds me of where we started."I batted my eyelashes at him and he groaned. "Now that you say it that way, I really have nothing to say." He resigned with a sigh."You're my bestie and my everything." I said.Todd turned to me, all smiles, a hint of color spreading to his cheeks."You're my

(RORY’S POV)Todd and I were seated on the sofa. Side by side.No one had answered our question yet. They were either staring into thin air or looking down at their feet. The clock on the wall ticked louder than I ever remembered it ticking before. Each second felt like a small hammer striking against my chest.When the silence stretched too long and had gotten unbearable for me, I cleared my throat and sat upright. My back felt stiff, like I had been carved from stone.“Can someone please tell us what is going on?” I asked. My voice was shaky, which was a reflection of my emotions. I hated how small I sounded, but I couldn't help it.Todd didn’t look alright either. He was tense. His jaw was set hard, and his hand—the one resting on his knee—was curled into a fist. I wanted to reach over and hold it, but my own hands felt frozen in my lap.The adults all looked at each other, like they were deciding who should speak first. It was the kind of look that made my stomach turn. I had seen

(RORY'S POV)I didn't know how long we stood there. Todd and me. Holding each other in the middle of the living room like the world was ending.Maybe it was.After a while, Todd pulled back and wiped his face with the back of his hand. His eyes were still red, but he wasn't crying anymore. He looked tired. So tired."I should go." He said quietly."No." I grabbed his hand. "Please don't. Not yet."He shook his head. "Your family needs time with you. And I need to talk to my parents. Alone."I wanted to argue. I wanted to beg him to stay. But I knew he was right. There was so much to figure out. So much to process."Okay." I whispered.He leaned down and kissed my forehead. His lips were soft and warm."I love you, Candy." He said."I love you too."Then he walked to the door. He paused with his hand on the handle, looking back at me. For a moment, I thought he was going to say something else. But he just shook his head slightly and walked out.The door closed behind him.And I was alo

(RORY'S POV)For a moment, the air stilled and it felt like Todd and I had stopped breathing. He just stared down at me with eyes that were unreadable."Please say something." I begged him in a voice barely more than a whisper. And feeling a rush of impatience, I added, "Are you angry with me?"Todd's face softened and then he shook his head at me."Of course I'm not angry with you." He said and then his hand moved to my jaw, cupping it gently. "Why would I be angry with you? There's no need for that."Tears stung my eyes but they didn't flow. I moved my head to kiss his hand. Then I changed my seating position, so that I was now cross-legged on the bed, facing him.I took his hands in mine."I don't want to leave but Todd…. We have to." I said softly.He sighed again, removing one hand from mine so that he could run his fingers through his hair."I know." He said.I looked down at our hands. His fingers were long and warm. They had held me through so many hard moments. They had wiped

(RORY'S POV)"I just don't think it's so important for me to keep going to school." I pointed out with a scowl. "What's the point if I am going to leave soon anyway?"Dad turned to look at me and I knew that the conversation was already over before it started."First of all, there's nothing wrong with you going to school. It's not useless." He began, dropping the newspaper he held in his hands. "Secondly, we have to make sure that you keep on putting up appearances. We can't let anyone know that we plan on leaving Daisyland."I sighed."Your father is right, mija." Nana called, looking up from her phone. She was seated on the sofa beside Dad while I stood before the two of them in the living room.I had been trying to get them to let me miss school so that Todd and I could plan something fun instead. But the answer was no. A clearly defined no."I thought you and Todd would want to spend time together. Won't you miss the school days? Take advantage of this short time you have left." M
