Oliver's POV

"I dare you to go do 7 minutes in heaven with a person of your choice," some girl says to Reggie. Reggie looked around the room to decide who he wanted to pick until he finally got up and walked up to this cute girl that was sitting next to me. She was the same girl he had been talking to at the last party. She had long black hair that was curled loosely. She was wearing a wine-red silk dress that hugged her body perfectly and a pair of black high-top Converse to make the fit more casual.

They walked to the same closet that Reggie and I had been in. All of the memories from that video flooded my mind. That kiss had been so passionate and calming, yet he still acted like nothing had ever happened. That's when I remembered the reason we had kissed in the first place. Reggie is scared of the dark. That's when the door was closed the timer had started.

Should I say something like, like what if he is having a panic attack or something? I mean, I probably shouldn't, as he probably doesn't want everyone here to know he is scared of the dark; if I was in his shoes, I would not want everyone else to know. I really hope he is doing fine in there.

With all this worry about whether Reggie was fine or not, I had not even realized the jealousy I felt deep inside. Like, I wanted him to pick me instead of that girl.

_______

Over the past couple of weeks, I had noticed little details where I had felt jealous that Reggie wasn't picking me. I know that Reggie and I are not together, but I can't help but feel like he doesn't care about any of the little or big things that have happened between us. Like the TWO times, we have kissed or the other little things we have done together, like getting ice cream in the middle of the night. I wanted to ask Reggie how he was feeling about all of this, but then again, he told me to just move on and pretend like it never happened. Maybe I should make Seb talk to him about it, and then Seb can tell me how he feels about everything.

"Can I come in?"

It was Reggie at the door. "Yeah, you can come in," I replied, making space in my bed so he could sit next to me. He came and sat down next to me on the bed. "Did you want to talk about something or ..." I asked, wondering why he came to talk to me.

"So you know that girl I have been talking to for a month or so now?" Reggie asks, looking at the door as to make sure no one else is listening to our conversation.

"Yeah, what about her?" I asked, wondering why he was bringing it up. Why did he want to talk about this girl with me?

"So I want to ask her to be my girlfriend, and I wasn't sure how to do it. Should I ..." I couldn't listen to what he was saying anymore. My heart was shattered. I had literally just been thinking about how I wanted to tell Reggie my feelings, and now he comes in here to tell me about how he wants to ask a girl to be his girlfriend.

My heart sank as I listened to Reggie talk about his intentions to ask the girl he had been seeing to be his girlfriend. Everything I had been feeling suddenly wanted to come out of me, and I felt like I was about to burst. I didn't know how to respond to Reggie's question about how to ask the girl out because all I could think about was how much I wished that it was me in her place.

I took a deep breath and tried to compose myself. I knew I couldn't let my feelings get in the way of our friendship, so I decided to be supportive. 

"Well, I think it's great that you want to ask her to be your girlfriend," I said, trying my best to sound genuine. "Maybe you could take her out on a romantic date and ask her then?"

Reggie seemed to like the idea, and we talked more about the details of the date. But for me, the conversation was torture. I couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to be the one going on that date with Reggie, and it was making me feel sick to my stomach.

As soon as Reggie left his room, I collapsed onto my bed and buried my face in his pillow. I felt so stupid for letting myself fall for someone who would never feel the same way. I knew I needed to move on but didn't know how. All I could do was hope that someday I would be the one going on dates with Reggie.
