Star-crossed (A not so normal life)

Chapter 1 ~Confessions~

"Are you in love with him?" He asked me with a defeated tone. He asked me that question knowing that I would never lie to him. The moment he asked that question was the moment that I realized that I liked Theo. But I also happened to realize that I don't love him.

"I don't love him." I said out loud. His expression went from the defeated look he had to a thankful look. I didn't want to keep him waiting so I quickly added, "But I think that I like him."

Once these words left my mouth, I couldn't look at him in the eyes. My eyes filled up with tears and I started sobbing. He didn't say a single word.

After what felt like a lifetime, he finally asked, "does this mean that you don't love me anymore?" The hurt in his voice made me sob even harder. " I love you more than the world and nothing could ever change that." I said. His lips curled into a relieved smile. Seeing him happy made me smile as well.

He came closer to me and wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into the most reassuring hug I've ever felt. "Nothing could ever stop me from loving you too." He whispered into my hair. His voice sent a chill down my spine and he hugged me even harder. He stroked my hair and kept me close to his chest until I could finally calm down and stop sobbing.

Once we broke apart,  he looked over my shoulder and then looked back at me. I turned and looked behind me and saw Theodore looking at us. He nodded his head in disappointment and left the classroom. I looked back at Alex and he said, "it's okay, go." And with that I went behind Theo.

"Theo, wait up" I kept shouting and suddenly he stopped walking but didn't turn back. I went to him and asked "how much did you hear?"

"I didn't hear anything but saw everything that I wish I hadn't seen." Hearing him say that broke my heart. "Theo, it's not like that and Alex and I aren't even dating."

"Well my eyes told me a different story." He said still looking ahead. "Theo, please. I can't do this with you right now. I'm so tired of this." I told him. "You think that I'm not tired of any of this shit? I'm just as tired as you are. You keep doing this to me. Why the fuck don't you like me? Why?" He snapped back at me.

My rage got the best of me. "Cuz i can't even figure out how I feel about myself and being in a relationship is only going to make me suffer in every way possible." I snapped back. And as of on cue, the last bell rang and he replied "I'm in love with you." He pulled me close and kissed me. And at some point, I gave up trying to fight him off and melted on the spot and kissed him back.

"Don't tell anyone about this. Please?" Theo pleaded. "Theo, you know that I have to tell Ben and Alex about this. But I promise, not a soul other than them." I said. "Pinky promise?" He asked. And then we interlaced our fingers and made a promise.

We returned back to class and got our bags and went home. The entire bus ride, the only thing on my mind was, how the fuck am I supposed to explain this to Ben?
