As I continued crying they suddenly pulled away . Then , they came closer to me and hugged me again , this time with me facing my house and both of them facing the boys. As I slowly stopped crying , we all heard police sirens and I wiped my tears . The officer gave me my parents and sisters stuff and left . I stared at the objects for a while before I noticed something that I hadn't seen in a while .It was my childhood diary . I had got it as a birthday gift from Jitesh and I was shocked that it was with my parents . It had a lock on it and no one new it's password except for me and Jitesh. I opened it and I read through my diary , quickly forgetting the fact that my friends were all standing in front of me . I read through my diary as all of my memories came flooding back to me . I had had a crush on Darshan since I was 9 . Now I was 17 and still held tight to my feelings . I had a pained face as I read through the pages that I had cried while writing rapidly . Once I was done I wordlessly handed it to Darshini and Anjali . When they were done they handed it back to me as they hugged me tighter than ever . The boys still had no idea what was going on . I handed my diary to them , still wordless . As Darshini and Anjali continued hugging me , the boys read through it . Once they were done , they looked at Darshan , who had not been interested in reading my diary . Krishnan and Adhvait practically shoved it at him and he read it . After he was done he just stared at me as I looked down , not wanting to make eye contact . No one said anything , until Anjali broke the silence .
Anjali : Vanshika , we're always here for you . You can feel otherwise but we will never leave you .
Darshini : Yeah , you don't have to go through anything else alone .
Me : Thanks .
I didn't know what Darshan was thinking but he was just staring at me . I decided to make eye contact with him so I looked at him and we just stared at each other for a few minutes before everyone had to leave . They promised to come back later to check up on me . Now it was only me and Darshan staring at each other . He suddenly came forward and hugged me . I hugged him back with tears in my eyes . I had got my best friend - crush back . We stayed like that for what seemed like forever . I rested my head on his shoulder and I felt like I could stay like that for the rest of my life . After another eternity he pulled away and looked at me . I had my arms around his shoulders and his were just above my waist . We didn't do anything . We just stayed in that position . I decided to hug him again , so I did . He didn't pull away . After a few minutes he broke the silence .
Darshan : I'm so sorry Vanshika
Me : I'm sorry too Darshan , I shouldn't have been so upset over one meet .
Darshan : I knew that this nationals meant a lot to you , I still got mad at you .
Me : It's fine Darshan . Honestly , I'm just glad that we're friends again .
Darshan : So . . . I was wondering , do you actually like me ?
Me : I've liked you since I was 9 Darshan , of course I still do , it's hard to let go of those feelings in a year , it's continued like that every year and now it's come to this .
Darshan : . . .
Me : Did I say something wrong ?
Darshan : Sorry , too shocked to speak .
Me : [ hits him playfully ] Again , my line
We laughed hard for a few minutes , after we were done , Darshan said that he would come over later to just spend time with me . I said okay and went back into my house . I had got him back .
