————————————————————

You and Scarlett were close. Incredibly close. You were always together, hardly ever seen apart. You were best friends. You would do absolutely anything for each other no matter what, barely got into any argument (if you did they were resolved within 10 minutes), and you cared for each other.

Within the past few years, you had begun to care for her more than a friend. However, you didn't act upon it, afraid it would ruin your friendship. And that was something you didn't want to risk.

There had been moment where maybe you suspected she liked you back, but you weren't to sure. You didn't know if you were imagining it just because you wanted her to like you back.

But now here you are, saying goodbye to Scarlett after having a movie day at your house. She had to go as she had plans to go in a date with Colin. They have been dating for a few months now and it's killed you. You've wanted to speak up about it but don't want to hurt feelings.

"Bye, I'll see you tomorrow!" You wave as she steps out your door.

"I'll send you a picture of what i'm gonna wear tonight." She smiled and you nodded.

"Yeah, alright." You smiled back as you watched her head to her car.

"I messed it up with you!" You blurted out to her, watching as she stopped and turned to face you.

"What?" She asked confused, seeing your serious state, and you sighed, deciding that you couldn't go back and had to tell her how you felt.

"There was this moment one time where I thought maybe you liked me." You began, looking down at your feet, unable to look directly at her.

"And you like me back. Um, and I got scared so i didn't tell you how i felt. And the you met Colin. It's really hard seeing you with him everyday." You confessed, finally having the courage to look up at her Scarlett who had come closer to you.

"Why are you telling me this now?" She asked, shaking her head like she was unable to comprehend what you were telling her.

"Because it's true." You shrugged, watching as she shifted on her feet, looking at her shoes as she did so.

"Why do you look angry?" You asked, regretting you had said anything in the first place.

"Because Y/n you can't- That's not fair." She almost shouted, tears threatening to escape both your eyes.

"I like you! I really liked you. I would tear myself inside out liking you." She admitted, running her hands through her hair as she looked up at you.

"You did like me?" You almost questioned, surprised, taking a step closer to her, only a few feet apart.

"Yes, of course I did!" Scarlett agreed, with a laugh of disbelief.

"How couldn't I like you? You're stunning, and the most amazing girl i've met. I just, didn't want to risk loosing you as a friend. So I got with Colin to try and get rid of those feelings." Scarlett confessed, stepping closer to you, only inches apart now.

"We are both idiots." You laughed, as you closed the gap between you, wrapping you arms around her neck.

"Definitely." She laughed as she grabbed your waist, pulling you into a kiss.
