The bloody truth...

I sat in the court hearing people debate if I was innocent or guilty... They yelled as my lawyer tried his best for them to believe I was guilty, I think it was all for the money he didn't give a damn about me. I looked around seeing nothing but people accusing me of what I'd done and yes I knew it was a bad thing, but it was the anger I didn't mean to... 

Oh? You wanna know why I'm in this right now? Lemme explain to you

My name is Angel I am a 20-year-old male. I am 5'8" and Hispanic if you wanted to know that. I don't know how you want to know about me.. females/males nowadays... Anyway, it was a normal day, I hung out with my friend Maddie. I and she have been friends for a while I guess what I can say is I developed a crush on her. A little harmless one... A medium one... Okay, a big one. Her family didn't like me well though they thought I was too serious for her. So back to the important part of the story, yeah we were hanging out that day and she looked stunning as always and I grew the courage to ask her but.. you know what I won't explain it here's the scenario 

(Narrator) 

Angel and Madison were hanging out in her dorm watching Netflix and talking about stupid stuff together. Madison noticed something a little off about Angel's behavior. She stopped talking and only stared at him for a bit "What's going on in your mind chicken butt" she said joking around but also serious about the question she asked.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you think I mean you're acting all...happier than before"

"Heh, you think I'm in a bad mood all the time?"

"Usually you'd give me a side eye for my jokes and I'm happy you're in a good mood Angel" 

(ANGEL)

She gave me a smile before going back to watching her show but she didn't know that her smiling at me like that made my heart flutter.  She scoots closer to me and lays her head on my shoulder "Hey Angel?" she says so I hum letting her know I was listening

"Remember when we met at the park.."

"Hm? What do you mean?"

"You know when we sat on the swings together and even since then we bonded and met up there almost every week cause I was scared to ask your number!"

"So that means you chickened out like hmm 7 times?" 

"Yeah..heh I was happy that day when I got your number" 

"Madison, what do you see me as? In your eyes?.." 

"My best friend!"

My heart stabbed itself and my heart inside my heart stabbed itself. I just froze and watched the show like I never heard that without slumping in my chair or pouting. Her phone went off and she answered. Within 5 minutes her face lit up with excitement and joy, I just tilted my head "Yes! I would love to date you, Leon!" Ok at that moment my heart was broken and eaten alive by my feelings so I made her hang up "Are you sure he's right for you Madison?" all she did was smile cheekily 

"Do you, Madison?" 

"Yes"

"How do you know  I think you guys aren't a good match"

"Hey stop being a hater because someone likes me!"

"Oh great now I'm a hater for looking out for you?!" 

"Yes, Yes you are cause why are you looking out for me anyway this is was I want"

"I just don't think he's the right guy" 

"he's the right guy. Angel why are you acting this way" 

"Because" 

"I'm waiting"
