Just a Dream

Scraped And Chipped

I think I stood there with my mouth hanging open for about five minutes while Wes looked everywhere but at me.

He finally cleared his throat, "Um...Charlotte? You okay?"

Slowly I closed my mouth and nodded and then shook my head.

Wes laughed at me being indecisive, "Well which is it?"

I couldn't even answer him I was dumbstruck, you know that feeling you get when your emotions are everywhere and you can't tell what you're feeling?

Well that's what was happening to me, my thoughts were pretty much just white noise.

I opened my mouth, "I- you- what- uh?"

I failed miserably at trying to form a sentence that made the slightest bit of sense. Okay, alright you had your time to be silent and confused now talk you idiot.

I think Wes must've thought that I didn't feel the same and that he scared me because he looked very dismal.

"I'm really sorry I said that Charlie, I just wanted you to know how I really felt. I didn't mean to scare you, I'm sorry I said anything."

He turned away and started walking away, at that moment my brain just became clear. It was set on one thing and one thing only, Wesley.

I've liked him for years whether I'd like to admit it or not. He has always been there for me when I needed him the most. Almost all of my best memories were made with him. I think my favorite memory of us as kids was when we were six years old and we were playing tag in his backyard, he was it so I was running away but I tripped and scraped my knee.

I started to cry so he just got up, ran right at a tree root and tripped landing face first in the dirt. He ended up chipping a tooth just to make me feel better. We've grown so much closer since then and now looking back on all the movies we've watched, sleepovers we've had, and laughs we've shared, I know that I want to be with him.

I want to be able to say that I'm dating my best friend and I wouldn't change a thing about him.

I snapped out of my thoughts and realized that I was letting him walk away. Before I even knew what I was doing my feet were pushing me closer to him while I sprinted towards him.

I loved him and I couldn't let him go, "Wesley!!"

He turned around and I jumped onto him, wrapping my legs around him I looked in his eyes and smiled.

"I love you too, Wes."

With that I locked lips with him.
