Fear of Rejection

"Caty!" Harry exclaimed as he entered the cafe. Caty rolled her eyes at her best friend but got up to hug him none the less. Harry and Caty had known each other for almost their entire life. Their mothers had known each other since school and so they basically grew up together.

Louis rolled his eyes at his brother and Caty as he went to stand next to the table Caty was sitting on before both the brothers came in. Caty broke the hug and turned to face the older of the two brothers. She just waved in greeting. Louis was a year older than Harry and Caty and therefore had his own group of friends, so choosing not to hang out with his brother more than he could help.

Harry and Louis had a great relationship. They were best friends and Louis loved to hang out with his brother. With sea blue eyes and a great body, Louis had no reason to be jealous of Harry, despite the latter's green eyes and tall height.

However there was one thing he envied his brother for. Caty. Harry and Caty were so close that everyone in school thought they were dating despite the many times both of them had denied the rumours. Louis had liked Caty for almost 2 years now but never had the guts to tell her. Not knowing how to act around his brothers best friend, he chose not to spend his time with them. What he didn't know however was the feelings was reciprocated. Caty had liked Louis since freshman year but didn't tell him because of her fear of rejection

As the three sat in that cafe together chatting and laughing, a girl and a boy sneaked glances at each other, hoping for a future with the other, not knowing that the other one was thinking the same thing. And in the middle of this imaginary love story, sat a green eyed boy looking at his best friend lovingly, scared to confess his feelings for her. Because of the fear of rejection.
