Love Letters (editing)

Chapter 7: Millie

Millie's POV

I didn't think I knew who I truly loved. Was it James? Or was it Drew? They're both so unbelievably charming and nice. I grew up with James, so I kind of have this crush on him. While Drew...he came to my life ever since high school, I don't really know him well, but the way Al talks about how nice, funny and kind he is, I kinda fell in love with him. Well, it's not my fault when someone describes a guy like my ideal type, right...?

During our date, I was texting James, and he said something about his family having some kind of problem, so I was a little worried. Okay, I admit, very worried. That was why I was thinking about how to help him. Just then, Drew interrupted my thoughts and actually told me NOT to text during the movie. I listened and acted all sweet because I wanted to watch the movie anyways.

Hopefully James is fine by now. I'm dating Drew so I think I need to stick to who I'm with my choice for now. There was a saying "Your heart decides for you, you cannot force yourself into an unwilling relationship, if you love someone else, better tell the other person because it'll hurt less the sooner you tell them." (A/N random quote I made up excuse the not-quote-ish-quote). I was willing to be with Drew, yet my heart seemed to linger between Drew's and James'.

Just then, I heard a knock on the door.

"Hello?-" I opened the door.

James enveloped me in a hug "Oh Millie, my parents are getting divorced!"

I was shocked to hear the news. No. No. They couldn't. They wouldn't. They were so sweet back then. I could hear gentle sobs and felt him trembling against my shoulder.

"Everything will be fine, I promise. You still have me, right?" I said.

Yet everything seemed so helpless. How could it be fine? The cheerful yellow colour in my bedroom just didn't seem to fit in in a time like this. James was definitely not fine. From the first moment he stepped in, I knew there was something wrong. I wasn't fine either. I didn't know who should I choose, Drew? James? There was an answer, my heart had chosen the right person for me, but it wasn't clear enough that I knew.

He nodded slightly, not daring to say anything. I knew why, he was scared of breaking down,  even though his tears were rolling down rapidly already. Even in front his friend he knew for almost his whole life, he didn't dare do so. I patted his back gently as his head leaned on my shoulder, hoping to do everything I could to make him feel better. All this time since I've known him, whenever he's upset, all he needs is a friend who'll be there for him and won't say anything until he feels better.
After what seemed like forever, he sat up and broke the silence.

 "Thanks, for being here with me the whole time." he gave me a heartfelt smile.

"Not a problem, we're best friends, aren't we?" I smiled weakly, I felt so bad for him.

"You're gonna make it through, I'm here for you." I promised.

James smiled again, I knew he couldn't be left alone in times like this, he needed someone to be there for him, to hear whatever he had to say. And that person might as well be me.
