"Dude, would you like to tell me what's pissing you off?"
Something was going on and Brett knew it. He knew his best friend too well to know things weren't okay but he wasn't getting any answer from Eddy.
Silence.
"Bro you're weird. Do you need to talk?" He tries once more.
"Why you think that? I'm normal.. ain't you see?" But neither no smile nor eye contact. This wasn't something normal in their everyday's.
"Got that joke. But you know exactly what I mean. Is there something I can help you with?" Brett tried to hug him like he always did when things went wrong but the other one rejected it.
"Don't pretend you care about me when it's way too clear you don't" he answered in a silent whisper. Brett couldn't hear it.
"Just tired bro. Gotta rest." Said Eddy a bit louder this time, before he opened the door and tried to leave.
"Y-you won't leave this room before you tell me what's w-wrong with you today."
Was Brett... crying?
"Don't you dare to say it's normal. Bro... you literally ignored me all day! Didn't- didn't even talk with me. You had just left and came some minutes ago and you're already going to sleep. You didn't even get to spend some time with m-me."
"How can you lie that well?" It's all what the other one answered.
"W-what are you saying? M-me? Lying to you?"
What was Eddy talking about?
"You know well what I mean, Brett. Don't make this harder, please".
"I actually don't know what you mean. Could you please explain me?".
And here we have again these cute, little eyes looking at him waiting for an answer. The ones that Eddy had once fallen for and sadly couldn't look anymore. He was too broken to ever feel love again.
"It's funny to see you asking because I know you know it perfectly. But let me tell you." Eddy smirked.
"It's curious how you can lie that well. You... saying every day you would be with me.. for the rest of your life? But why our friends told me you are going on a trip because you don't like staying with... me?
I'm not looking forward to your forgiveness. I don't even know why I'm mad about this situation -because it is, indeed, so dumb- but you made me believe you were my best friend, damn! Feelings aren't something you can play with, Brett."
"And I may had fallen for your beautiful, cute face. I believed every word you had told me. I was so blind to think you'd ever love me back.
Brett why you lied to me? Why you made me believe I was someone important to you when I was just... one more of your stupid list?"
Tears started to appear on Eddy's eyes. He couldn't hold it anymore. Too many confusing emotions for someone that's not used to let himself feel.
"Y-you fell for me? Bro, that's so stupid! You're so dumb, how could you?". That's all what Brett could innocently ask.
"It just happened, and I regret it did". Eddy tried to hide his tears but they were already going down his cheeks.
"You lost your mind, Eddy. We're just friends, you know that".
Yes, he knows that and that's why he thinks is worthless to tell Brett what he feels.
"You made me lose my mind". -And I wish I could forget you as fast as I fell for you- Eddy would like to add, but he stays in silence.
"Don't say it's my fucking fault, bro. I knew you had some weird stuff going on with me and I'm sorry but I don't feel the same. Should better leave you."
"You don't feel the same, you say?"
Brett nodded.
"Then, why are you here? Why do you worry more about me than our other friends? Why do you hug me and hold my hands when you're scared? Why do you come to me whenever something good happened? Or that means nothing to you? Why you prefer staying in my place rather than being with your family?... Why you say you love me?"
That last question hurted the most.
"Because you're my friend." He answered.
"Then, I'm sorry for having a different concept from yours of what a friend is. Please why don't you just leave, Brett?"
It's not easy. Nothing easy to forget someone who means a lot to you from one day to other.
"Yes, I'm leaving now. This is wrong."
Eddy had never imagined he would hear these words from the person he loved the most. It felt like a knife going deep straight into his chest. Too bad to be real.
"Goodbye, Brett."
Good bye, love of my stupid, short life. Once more you've shown me how useless I am when it's about love.
He's probably confused, isn't he? He will come back, right? He promised me we would be together until death put us apart.
Why you lied to me?
