" Bitter Truth ".

25. Unrequited love.

I tossed and turned around for the hundredth time trying to fall asleep but I couldn't, my mind kept wondering back what took place the entire day today.

I heard my front door open, I walked out knowing only one person had their fingerprint apart from me.

" what the hell are you doing here?" I questioned leaning against the wall, my arms crossed against my chest. While I watched the stumbling brown-haired stand-up straight.

He smiled wide toothed " I got beer and fried chicken," he said raising the cans as proof.

I walked towards him looking at him suspiciously because it was unlikely that this imbecile would stay back at home on a Friday night rather than being in a club.

" I thought it was a Friday night and you had prior commitments" I replied sitting on the floor leaning my back against the couch, my legs stretched out in front of me.

" nothing more important than my best friend," he said handing me a can of opened beer sitting next to me.

I looked at him rolling my eyes knowing he was just bluffing.

" Forget about me," he said serving the fried chicken, " what is going on between you and Mr. Wilker ?" He questioned I leaned my head back tiredly sighing. I grabbed the chicken from his hand taking a huge bite along with a large swig of my beer. Trying to cover the blush that I had grown just by listening to his name.

" looks like someone got a crush on him?" he said elbowing me teasingly, being the goofy cheese ball he usually is.

" Now don't be all I don't like him....what are you talking about...." he said mimicking me.

" first of all I don't sound like that....and secondly I am not denying it..." I said taking another swig of the beer, he did the same.

I watched as the condensed water droplets on the can slowly slipped down forming a ring at the bottom, I looked towards Eddie who was eagerly waiting for me to finish the rest " I like him, I really like him..., I want to date him, I want him to be my boyfriend and one day maybe marry him" I blabbered out making Eddie spit out the drink, spraying it all overr me.

" eww..." I cringed leaning against the couch I reached for the table that had the tissue box placed on it. Grabbing a couple of tissues I wiped my face." your so annoying "I grumbled.

" Sorry...I thought you really meant those words " he said chuckling.

I looked at him tilting my head slightly, showing him I wasn't joking.

His eyes were wide open just like his mouth" hazy I swear if your lying I am going to empty this beer all over your messy smelly hair " he warned holding a can of beer.

" I wish it was a lie too," I said pulling my knees closer to my chest and pulling my hoodie over it, I placed my head over the knees looking towards Eddie.

" hazy come on...what's wrong?" Eddie asked his eyes and face looking concerned. It was so hard for me to not to cry and ball out my eyes like a little child.

" Are you scared that he will reject you ?" he asked placing his arm around me pulling me closer to his side and hugging him, I gently nodded my head knowing that it wouldn't be possible because I wasn't going to tell him ever.

" Don't worry do as I tell take him some flowers and chocolates and confess to him if he rejects you come back home, I'll arrange for some baseball bats we can go finish him the next day...we can ask Roland to join as well? " he said seriously, his face concentrated formulating a plan, I moved away chuckling smacking his arm.

" Roland is his friend, he wouldn't betray him," I said.

" wait how do you know Austin Wilker ?" he questioned confused.
