Rose Ramirez and Lorenzo Martin have known each other since 5th grade. They were each other greatest enemies for the longest time. Until last year, when their paths kept crossing. After having, all the same classes, going to the exact same therapist...
I've been in the bathroom for about eight minutes now, mad at myself, Rose, and the world in general. If I didn't Goddamn say, do you think that could ever happen to us none of this would be happening. My idioticness made things so awkward between me and Rose.
I hear a text go through my phone.
Rose: Hey u alright u been in there for a minute
I go to settings, go to messages, and find the setting that says "Send Read Recepts" and, turn it off. I go back to her texts and go through our texts, I see a picture of her. It makes me so mad, if I never said that I wouldn't be in my feelings right now. I go to Apple Music, put my AirPods in, and go to Toosii's page. Passing the albums, NAUJOUR and Boys Don't Cry: Men Do before I find what I'm looking for: Thank You For Believing (The Manifestation.) I click on the 2nd song, what I'm on.
He sings, "Had your picture on my iPhone for a minute,
Ayy, it's a different time zone when I'm in it,
I still miss you with my eyes closed when I did it."
I close my eyes, it hurts like I just got hit by one of Cupid's arrows. I'm beginning to think, Cal and Oliver are right. I've accepted the fact, that they're right about me being in the friend zone. I think I've accepted it for almost an hour now. I'm talking about, them being right about me being in love with Rose.
I love the way she sings, she may not be on Mariah or Whitney's level, but I still love it. I love how beautiful she is, how her caramel eyes and curly hair just hit the light. I love how her amazing, warm vanilla sugar perfume smells. I love the way, she's shy even though she has no reason to be.
There's no way I'm telling her any of that though.
If there's one thing I've learned from, all the music listening her and I do, is that how real rejection is. Just as Toosii and Lil Tjay say Love Hurts. Also how real love is, another part of my heart says, but I still know deep down for the safety of my heart I need to go with the safest option, I can't tell her.
