I remember going to Jenny's house and bringing a bouquet of flowers. They were roses! Every color I could find. There were 11 real roses and 1 fake rose. I wanted to promise her that I would love her until the last rose dies. Then, she came out of their front door, looking happy than ever. With Jeremy.
"Hey"
"Hey John! Bro, you wouldn't believe what just happened!"
"What?"
"She finally said YES!"
"That's---That's great"
I just couldn't object. They were just too happy. I just couldn't do it. They were just too happy. I looked at Jenny in the eyes and I saw something I have never seen before. I saw in her eyes, longing, care, joy, beauty and love. She just looked at Jeremy with so much love. And I knew that no matter how much I try I will never be enough. She deserves better. She deserves Jeremy.
"Who are the roses for?" I heard Jenny's voice.
"It's for---ahh--- Amethyst!" I said.
"Ohh great! Well, we have to get going. We have this big date. Bye!"
"Yeah. Bye!"
You know how amazing it is that a person who was a big part of your life a year ago, is just like your friend now? Well, I have this other best friend. She's a girl, too, but I've been paying so much attention to Jenny, I don't even bother saying 'hi'. I want to call her.
"Hi. This is the Johnson residences. How can I help you?"
"This is John Smith. Can I talk to Amethyst?"
"Please wait." I can hear Amethyst's mom shouting "Amethyst! It's John"
"Hey John! This is Amethyst. It's been a while."
"Yeah, It has... How you been?"
"It's been great! How about you?"
"I'm fine" Or more-less I'll pretend to be fine.
"Ahh.. I'm FINE... You're signature lie. I could sense a bad vibe in you."
"I'm fine. I promise you."
"Is it about Jenny?"
"No. Why would it be about her?"
"I know you love her. So, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Everything's perfect"
"John! Tell me!"
"They're officially a couple."
"What?!"
"Yeah. She just said 'YES' today"
"Ouch. How about you?"
"I'm okay." I'M BROKEN. HURT. IN PAIN.
"I know you're not"
"I was just afraid."
"Why?"
"I was scared because I knew that if I told her, no matter how much I try nothing will ever be the same."
Amethyst didn't respond. I just heard her breathing through the phone
I continued "It's the point of being in love. You fall and someone catches you and you think they'll always be there but then they find another and they just let you fall. And everything that falls gets broken. But one day, you're going to find a person who's going to fix you but anything broken can ever be same as it was before."
"You're really going to let one person do this to you?" Amethyst seems angry.
"I've been in love with her for years"
"You mean a lot to other people! And you're letting one person make you like this!"
"Why are you angry!"
"Because I'm in love with you!" Her voice is getting gentler now "I'm in love with you"
She hangs up.
