Torn Between Two Lovers- Reed Deming Fanfiction

Torn Between Two Lovers- Part 1

Krista's POV

I ran two houses down from mine, watching carefully for any cars that could come near me. Reed and I were ditching school together. When I looked up at his house, I saw Reed looking down at me from his bedroom window. He motioned for me to come in, that the front door was unlocked, which it was. 

"Hellooo!" My voice beamed through the house. I went directly tot he fridge, popped open a can of Sprite, and flopped down on the couch. This behavior was normal, considering we have been friends since 1st grade. 

"Way to make yourself at home." Reed laughed as he pranced down the stairs. 

"Well duh! Now come here!" I grabbed him in a tight hug. He'd just gotten back from his one week trip to Houston this morning. Yeah, we called and texted each other, but it didn't feel right when we were apart. "Anything big happen in Houston?"

"Nothing much, just saw a few old friends." His phone began to vibrate on the coffee table in front of us. He picked it up. "Oh, its a text from Rylan." The text said,

"Bro, there's this CRAZY beautful new girl in class today. Wait till you get a look at her! I think her name's Taylor..."

"What is it?" I inquired.

"He said there's this new gorgeous girl in our class named Taylor. I guess we'll have to see what happens tomorrow!" He smirked, tossing his phone on the couch next to him.

Reed's POV

My heart began to race at the thought of another person clouding up my love life. It's January 1, 2013. New years resolution? Get a girlfriend.

My mind said no, but my heart was saying yes.

I turned to Krista who was intently watching Storage Wars. My eyes skimmed over her profile; her perfectly proportione jawbone, her full eyelashes batting up and down, her deep brown hair meticulously positione behind her ear. 

My heart began to beat out of my chest. I nervously glanced around the room, placing my hand over my heart, as if to stop it from beating, but playing it off that I was itching my chest. 

What was this that I was feeling?

Could it be?

No, absolutely not. 

I could never fall in love with my best friend.

But I think I am.

"Krista?"

"Yeees?"

"Have you ever fallen in love with a friend?" I wondered if I was being too straight foward, if she could sense that I was talking about her.

"When I was five. I remember I confessed my love to one of my closest friends, Hunter. I thought it was ture love. We would get married and dramatically ride off into the sunset on a large, white horse. But I was five, so not really. Not since then at least. Why?"

"Oh, no reason." My voice cracked on the word reason.

"But I guess the heart wants what the heart wants. Right?" She playfully punched my shoulder.

"Heh, I guess so." I nervously lauged.
