Unimaginable: A Novella

Flashback 1

The year is 2007

I looked into his eyes, lovingly. Though I know the next few words will cut through my heart like a dagger, I held back my tears, breathed deeply and said, "I loved you. I still do. All these years I kept thinking why I haven't said the true feelings I had. I could've. I would've. But everything's too late now. I'm too late. You're too late. Things will never be the same even if we try. That is why this time now I choose to let you go ... Forever."

Riiiing!! Riiiing!!

Ugh. Timer's done and I didn't even finish my assignments. I knew that if I started reading this book I wouldn't be able to finish even just one assignment and the Environmental Science paper is due tomorrow.

I wonder how Zac's doing? Maybe I'll text him if he's done.

Hii, how's your paper? Gosh, this manga that you let me read just took my time... a LOT

Hey El... oh yeah? Haha. That means you like the book I'm assuming.

Seriously Zac, I don't actually. The girl main character is so weak, I mean why didn't she even bother to tell him her true feelings in the first place? Now it's too late for them both and that's just, sad.

Oh then to you that means if a person doesn't tell the one they love then they're weak?

Well yeah, you know in the Bible it says an open rebuke is better than hidden love.

Hmm, what if I tell you... I like you. Would you think it's weak?

HUH?

I like you, Elee. For a while now.

Oh shoot! I only wanted to ask him how his assignment is going, then why is this the conversation that we are having right now? How do I respond to this?

Why does he think he likes me anyway? I mean we're friends but I don't look at him that way, and why did he even say that? I'm so confused.

Maybe I'll not respond tonight and leave it 'til tomorrow. Then I'll just tell him I accidentally deleted the convo and tell him I fell asleep early. Yup, I think that's a good plan.

Yeah right Hay, like running away from problems will actually solve anything. You'll eventually have to face him tomorrow at school.

Let me read the convo again, maybe he told me something about the assignment.

I like you, Elee. For a while now.

Ugh, why? *Deletes message*

Phew, now I just have to prepare what to tell him tomorrow. Oh man, why am I so warm in my cheeks though.
