'I can't have you, No matter how much I want you.' Those words kept replaying in my head since yesterday.

I was speechless, he liked me. Why was that a problem?

He deserved everything, why not me?

I was confused, knowing Troy he probably regrets telling me all of that. And going to be awkward he's going to avoid me rather than act on his feelings.

Why?

I was more confused as time went by. I hadn't told Nina, I was too scared of my emotions to open the floodgates and actually think about the fact that he won't let us be together.

A victory for him actually liking me, a failure in the actual execution. That's when I realised it is the execution that matters.

I was angry and frustrated nothing was ever simple with Troy.

I sat on the beach, it was cooler today, with a chilly breeze and a high tide, there were fewer people on the beach.

It was almost a void of serenity.

"Shay?" I hear a masculine voice behind me, I peer behind and see it's Luke.

I give him a weak smile, he plops down next to me.

"You seem to have a lot on your mind."

"Is it that obvious?" I sigh.

"I called your name twice it was like you were on another planet." He chuckles.

"What would you do if you liked a girl?" I blurt out.

He looks at me.

"Boy trouble?" He smirks.

"Kinda." I mutter.

"And here I thought you liked me." He says.

"I uh I'm sorry I'm not-" I ramble.

"Shay, I was kidding!" He smirks and I punch him on the shoulder.

"Jerk." I huff.

"I actually like your friend if she will give me the time of day. And you're a bud, anyway this boy-" He says boldly.

"Wait Nina, you like Nina?" I say.

"Yeah I hung out with her at the mall, she was pretty cool." He said.

She had some explaining to do.

"She didn't seem into me though." He says in a weak tone.

"Oh no! She probably thinks I like you because I said we had a good time at the movies and is sacrificing potential love for me!" I exclaim.

"That's a little dramatic." Luke laughs.

"Thats Nina." I huff, she is such an idiot sometimes.

"So this boy?" He questions.

"Same ole story, likes the girl won't do anything about it." I click my fingers mocking the entire situation.

"Why is that?"

"Says he doesn't deserve her." I try to keep my name out of this so called tale, even though it was obviously me, I wanted to pretend that this couldn't be real, Troy couldn't actually like me and then leave me without trying.
