FIRST LOVE

My bestfriend and his bother

Everything started when i was 9 years old and i met this boy named William. I really liked him and i asked him to be my friend. We were little kids and everything was so fun and cute then. Year by year we became 13, and we were still best friends. We were having so much fun together and no one could separate us. I trusted him with all my secrets, and he was always there for me. We went to high school then, and everyone at our school thought that we were dating for some reason, but we could never see each other as anything more than friends. Anyways William had an older brother, his name was Oliver. He was 2 years older than us; a handsome boy. Tall with black hair, blue eyes, and a fit body; on the other hand William was brunette, skinny with brown eyes, and he was tall too. I always liked Oliver a little bit, i can't lie. But the most important person was William. We were doing everything together. He knew everything about me and i knew everything about him. I was feeling like i was with my family when he was around. Oliver and i were good friends, but we were nothing more even if i kinda liked him, and he did too; We were only thinking about William, he would be upset if me and Oliver were together. And that's me, I'm Madi, i love swimming and I'm kinda tall I think with blonde hair and a skinny body. You are probably thinking about what kind of people we are. Don't worry. You will understand while you are reading the story.
We were hanging out all together one evening. Me, William, Oliver and one of his friends. They had a pool at their house, so we went there all the time. Oliver went with his friend in the kitchen to take some drinks. So, me and William started talking as we always did. I asked him if he liked a girl, so I could find him one; you know…best friend things. He seemed strange to me and i didn't know why. I was the first person who always said, everything and i didn't know  what to do. I decided to let it go and say nothing. But that didn't work out for me later. After that Oliver with his friend came back and i talked with Oliver for a while in the pool, and the way  he spoke to me was a little cold. I was really confused. I went to my house then and 10 minutes later i got a call from Oliver. So i  picked it up and he sounded a little scared. I don't know why but i remember the exact words, he said:
-hi, I just wanted you to know something… that is really important but i want you to promise me that you are not going to say anything to William.
— you know that i always say everything to him he is my best friend and if this is so important i can't keep a secret from him. (i answered)
-You don't even know what i am about to tell you so don't worry, i know that you will not want to tell him too.(he Said and i answered again):
- Ok tell me
- I like you a lot! I can't stop thinking about you and i don't know what to do.(he said)
And a moment of silence prevailed on the phone. I can't say that i was not happy about that because you already know that i always had a small crush on him but in my mind sadness prevailed the most. At that moment of silence i had so many thoughts, especially about what I was going to say to William.
5 months went by, and me and Oliver were together without William knowing it. We actually decided to tell him once when we were all together but literally 2 minutes before we tell him he started a conversation with one of Oliver's friends about me being with someone from his family. And he said that it would break his heart because i wouldn't hang out with him anymore and more stuff like that.  What he said was not true, i would never do that.  Anyway, after all the things he said we decided to keep it secret. I was having so much fun with  Oliver! He was so romantic and cute when we were together even though he was mean and the "bad boy" to others, and this was something that i Loved about him. No one else know about our relationship except a girl from our school. Her name was Emma, and she was 1 year older than me and 1 year younger than Oliver. We didn't, 't want her to know that, but she saw us kissing one day. She had a crush on Oliver and our biggest fear was that she was going to say it to everyone. But 5 months later and still no one knew it, so we were perfect. About William…we were still besties, but the only difference was that i kept a BIG secret from him and that scared me a lot. I remember one day Oliver came to my house at 12 in the midnight, called me and told me to get dressed and go downstairs; he had a surprise, he said. You probably are thinking right now how we did that. But we lived in a minimal city in the same neighbourhood, and we were 14. Maybe almost 15 i am not sure. Our parents were friends and they had no problem with being together all the time. Sometimes they thought that i was with William but truly i was with Oliver.
And as I was saying i got dressed and went downstairs. He was waiting for me right there with a bag on his shoulders. He took me hand in hand and took me to a nice place a little further away. The view was wonderful and the most important thing was that i was there with the person i loved. This was my thought when he took me there and guess what; That night he said to me for the first time that he loved me! He set up a tent, and we stayed there all night watching the magnificent view and counting the stars. But it is true what they say that all the good things come to an end.
These good days when we were together without William knowing it came to an end  some months later. We were 15 and a half i think when the true story started. Do you remember Emma? The only girl that knew about us. We saw her at school one day talking to William and we got really scared. When we saw Emma leaving i went to talk with William. And before i even say hi he told me that we needed to talk; In one second i literally sweated and began to tremble. We sat on a bench and he started by telling me about our friendship and that we are so close and we have to tell everything to each other. I freaked out but the only thing that reassured me was that he didn't seem angry or upset at all. He said:
- I don't want you to be mad at me but i found a girlfriend; I promise that we will still be together all the time. The fact that i found a girl doesn't mean that she will replace you, are you ok with that?
I was so happy for him and i didn't even thought about him replacing me because i know William very well, he is such a good guy. I was relieved when i heard what he said. I will never forget how stressful i was that moment. After that i found Oliver and he was so scared but while i was walking towards him he understood that nothing happened only from the way i looked at him. So i told him what really happened and without even thinking that we were at school and everyone was there, he hugged me and kissed me on the cheek…We were very scared for a minute but then we saw that no one looked at us and that William had already left so we were just fine…yeah right, little did we know that he was looking at us trough the window of his classroom…
