Heaven Marie Merrit Say yes to Heaven Chapter 7
The last few months have been fucking wild.
While yes I'm in love with Christopher Sturniolo, my best friend of two years, I can't see how or if he's in love with me.
He kissed me that one day in the middle of Target after saying we couldn't be together. After making me learn how to live without him in my life.
"Earth to Heaven!" My brother snapped his fingers in front of my face. "In the car come on."
I got up off the couch and walked towards the door. It's the middle of summer and hot as balls so my tiny shorts and t-shirt was perfect.
Once we got in the car I was finally told where we were going.
The triplets house.
He said we were going for a pool party but I knew it was because I hadn't spoken to them since the kiss. I felt bad for going ghost on my best friends but I couldn't be around them.
When we arrived I slowly crept out of the car and into the house. There they were. The triplets were on the couch waiting.
The silence of the room pierced my ears, it was so defining. They stared at me and when the door slammed, breaking the silence, I jumped a little.
"You two need to talk," Nick said pointing between Chris and I. "This has gone on for way too long." I went to walk out but my brother grabbed me and pulled me into a room where two seconds later Chris was also thrown into.
I went to open the door but it was locked from the outside. "Let me the fuck out!" I banged on the door.
"They're not gonna let us out Heaven," Chris said in a cool tone. How could he be so chill right now? We're locked in a fucking room together and he's calm?!
"oh shut the fuck up Christopher," I rolled my eyes at him and went on my phone.
Whatever room this was had zero bars and it felt like I was going to be crushed by the walls.
"Why won't you talk to me Heaven?" There was emotion in his voice now, desperation.
I didn't wanna look at him so I kept looking at the door, the walls, my hands. Anything but him. I was tearing up at this point. He didn't understand how bad I really wanted to talk to him. I've wanted to hold him.
I wanted to kiss him, touch him. I wanted to cry to him.
"Heaven look at me," I could hear the tears in his voice. As he spoke to me his voice trailed off into a whisper. "Heaven please."
I turned to him and I could see how heartbroken he was by his face. His was tearing up and one tear slowly rolled down his cheek as he looked at me.
"Chris you don't understand how much I love you," I said. A mixture of anger and sadness washed over me as I spoke. "I've been wanted nothing more than to be with you for so long and you took advantage of me. You made me sneak around with you in secret for a fucking year Chris! A whole year I had to hold my feelings in and tell myself to suck it the fuck up because I didn't wanna lose you."
I felt the hot tears run down my face. "Then you took that away from me and I had to learn how to live with you just being a friend. And boy did that hurt even worse. Time and time again Christopher, you have used me. Time and time again I have neglected my own feelings for you! Because I fucking love you!"
With my last words he pulled me in and kissed me. I was smiling and crying all at once. Once he pulled away he scanned my face for any sign of regret.
"Heaven I love you," He said in more than a whisper. He had confidence in his voice. "I fucking love you."
I pulled him in for one more kiss before the Wi-Fi was turned back on and a text came through to my phone.
