Heartstrings Strumming

Part 1

       Why does it have to be like this? Why was I given this dilemma? Should I choose his happiness or mine? It's one or the other. If I do what makes me happy, he will be devastated. But if I do what makes him happy, I know deep down that he won't be truly happy. All he wants is me, but I want his best friend. His best friend wants me too, but he could never betray his friend like that. He could never stab his friend in the heart and watch him bleed out in agony. I could never do that to him either. He's too fragile and has already lost a friend once. I don't want him to go through that pain again.

Liam:

"I'm really glad we started talking. It's been nice to have a genuine conversation like this with someone. I'm glad we became friends.

Sorry I called you while I was drunk. You are just easy to talk to. You listen to everything I have to say and encourage me to keep talking. No one listens to me like you do. I am so lucky to call you my friend."

       I know he likes me but I can't tell him that. I want to wait until he is ready to tell me. Then we can talk about it.

Tommy:

"I'm really glad we started talking. I really enjoy talking to you about anything and everything. You don't need to apologize so much. You have nothing to be sorry for. You did nothing wrong.

Sorry I cuddled with you while I was drunk. I'm just a really touchy person and I love cuddling. You were the only one willing to cuddle with me so I took that opportunity and ran with it. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable at all. I didn't? I'm glad. I did really enjoy cuddling with you and wish it wasn't so weird for us to do that if we weren't drunk. I would love to lay with you while sober. Or honestly any time of the day."

       I know he likes my best friend but he said he likes me too. I want to wait until he is ready to figure out what he wants. Then we can talk about it and go from there.

Liam:

"I'm sorry we didn't tell you sooner. We didn't really know what was going on either. We didn't want to hurt you. I'm sorry."

       Are you sure he will be okay? He doesn't seem okay.

"I know you need someone to talk to. I'm always here to listen to whatever you want to say. I know you said you don't want to talk to me but I miss talking to you. I don't like you the way you like me but I wish I did. Life would be so much easier if I didn't like him."

Sydney:

"I really like him. Why don't you think we are a good idea? Sure, he has some baggage. I know he has some issues, but who doesn't? I believe we can make each other happy and so does he. I want to at least try and make this work. I really hope nothing bad comes out of it but only time will tell."

       I miss him already. I never thought it would be him. I'm glad it's him. I really like him.

Jordan:

"You also like me? Since when? Why do you keep making so many weird comments? Do you not understand how open you are about liking me? How did I not notice sooner?"

Tommy:

"I'm sorry I gave him a hug. I didn't think it would spark something in him like this. I really needed a hug and you weren't there for me like I needed you to be. He was there for me when you weren't. You caused my stress, and he eased it."
