Tell Me This Is Love! (ImmortalHD FanFic)

Being In Love?

(Thursday) 2:21 P.M. Home

What do I do?! I thought at myself in the mirror.

Max had just confess his interest in me, making me fumble back on my resolve; the resolve in which I decided Eddie was the one. If he was the one, then why am I becoming flustered because of Max?

Does this mean that I like Max?

When Max confessed that he liked me, Eddie entered the scene, confused. Of course, he had the right to be confused, but do I? I retreated to my bathroom in hopes of coming to in answer, and obviously, that wasn't working out.

I remembered how I closed my eyes, prepared for Max's lips. I shook my head before the imagery got out of hand. You can't like Max! Not after admitting to liking Eddie! I took in a deep breath in order to let the moment pass.

What now? I was trying to think of my next move. Do I just act normal? As if Max never stopped by at all?

I began to think of Anthony. I'm worse than he is, aren't I? Do I even deserve Eddie? I felt an overwhelming sense of guilt extend throughout my body. I looked down to the sink where my hands gripped the sides greatly. Softening my touch, I opened the door to the bathroom; unsure of what I was about to do.

When I returned to the kitchen, Eddie was sitting in the chair Max had been in before he left. When he noticed me, he stood and paced to me.

"Hey," he smiled, "What was that all about?"

"What?" I mumbled.

He scoffed, "Running to the bathroom and locking the door, duh."

I returned the smile, wearily. "Oh, yeah, that was nothing. I just needed a tissue," I lied.

I realized Eddie had been watching me intently as I spoke. I knew, from his stern expression, he had caught on to my lie but I didn't know what his next move would be.

"What did he do?" Eddie asked.

I could feel a knot forming at the pit of my throat. I wasn't sure why, but I felt as if I wanted to cry at that moment. Eddie had always been committed to me no matter what happened between us. We had many fights and ordeals that filled our dysfunctional relationship, yet somehow, he still liked me. On the other hand, I was a fool who couldn't even tell who he wanted if that person was right in front of him.

One kiss sends me into a place of doubt and wonders. In the end, I lead everyone on without any remorse.

Max was right, I finally agreed with his analysis of my situation, Ultimately, I always create problems for myself without stopping. Breaking trust I can never gain back from a friend.

I felt another resolve rise as I concluded my tale. "Eddie."

"Yeah?" he answered immediately.

"I think we shouldn't date anymore." I felt warm tears slide down my cheek.

"You what?!" Seamus and Tiffany were alarmed by the news.

"Yep," I managed a smile, "It's official, Eddie and I aren't dating anymore."

Halloween was an eventful day for me; despite not being able to attend the party because I was sick. Not only did I learn Max was a newfound interest of mine, but I also ended my ties with Eddie. I didn't bother going to school Friday because I had the day off, so I decided to stay home and call them out today, Saturday; and the first day of November.
