Side's Pov.
As I layed in bed I felt my phone vibrate next to me on my bed.
Speedy: Hey lil bud! You gonna play with us today for once?!
Me: Oh um..yeah sure.
Me: wait..er..is Shadow gonna be playing?
I could barely type as my eyes started tearing up again. I've liked Shadow forever now, and just as he started liking me back..
Speedy: No..he hasn't played with us for a few days either. What's going on? Did something happen between you guys?
Me: Uh no. Just wondering haha.
I couldn't help but lie. What would the crew say if I didn't just admit that I liked Shadow, but that he rejected me? I sat up and swung my legs to the side of my bed and wiped my eyes with my baggy sweater sleeve. As I searched through a pile of clothes for something clean to wear, I heard my computer go off. Oh..Speedy's calling. I ran over to my chair and plopped down. "Heyy Side!" Speedy said with his usual enthusiasm. "Well hi there Speedy," I mumbled trying to sound as happy as possible. "Wanna tell me what's going on here? You're a bad liar Side. Besides it's only us today." Speedy's voice was soft and full of concern. I couldn't help it, I told him everything. From the time I realized I like Shadow, to the time where we talked for hours, to the most painful rejection I've gone through. "Oh Side. You know Shadow's just a cold person," Speedy giggled as he talked. It put a small smile on my face. "I'm sure he is just confused. Plus, he did just break up with his girlfriend. I'm sure it has nothing to do with you."
Playing with Speedy was probably the thing I really needed. I decided to text Shadow. Probably not a very good idea.
Me: Hey Shadow. I don't want things to be awkward..We have other friends you know..I'm sorry if I did anything wrong.
Shadow: Please Side..Don't text me.
I felt my heart fall to the bottom of my stomach. I dropped my phone and sat on my bed.
Shadow's pov
Me: Please Side..Don't text me.
It was hard just to say this. I don't want to hurt Side at all "...I love him." My eyes widened as I realized what I had just said. "I love Sidearms.." Truth is, everytime I talk to him and hear his giggle, I like him even more. I can't..I dropped my head into my hands. What have I done?
