The Demon or The Prince

The Dance

He inches closer, shifting form one shadow to another. He comes closer, closer, 'til he's right on top of her. He swings his arms around her waist and sings, "Found you."

She lets out a big gasp and whips her golden blonde hair at him. "You scared me!" She yells as he puts her down.

He smiles and kisses her. "Better?"

She folds her lips inward. "Maybe." He smiles then slowly starts  walking her up to a park bench.

An average day couple, playing a lover's game.

I wish I could have that with someone. I wish I could be loved. But alas, my wish will never come true. I'm in love with someone who will never have feelings for me. He has jet black hair with demon black eyes. He is the Devil and he is in love with my best friend.

They have been going out for 4 months. They have been hanging out non-stop and acting lovely with each other it makes everyone around them feel sick.

Everything I see him, my heart beats like crazy. ...But he loves her. I care way too much about Carter, to hurt her when it comes to her boyfriend. So, I just hang out with him. I can't be loved by him, so at least I can still be his friend.

"Chloe!" I turn my head slightly to the right and spot Carter. She has her arm wrapped around Sebastian's waist and he holds her close. I raise my hand to give her a small wave. She lets go of Sebastian's hand and sits next to me. (I never told Carter about my small crush on her boyfriend.)

"What's up, guys?" I say as Sebastian takes a seat on the other side of me.

"Not much, just hanging," She has a smile that yells, lie. I ignore it.

"What are you doing?" She looks at me with anticipation.

I smile, "Nothing. Just... thinking."

"About?" She rolls her eyes.

"Stuff." I answer and she pouts. Carter is my best friend, but I'm not one to tell her everything. I know for a fact that she doesn't tell me everything, so why should I tell her?

Carter has bright red hair that compliments her light green eyes. She's like a fire fairy, bright and beautiful. Sebastian, on the other hand, is dark and evil. I don't know how these two have remained together all this time. But Carter looks happy, so I ignore everything. Even Sebastian, who is always depressed, is smiling. Why does he have to be so cute?

I shake my head to look away from Sebastian. Carter turns her head, and looks at the two kids playing not too far from us. "What are you thinking about?" I ask her, but she just smiles then turns her head upward.

"Promise that we'll always be friends, no matter what." Sebastian and I look at each other and he shrugs.

I wrap my arm around her free arm and cuddle up next to her. "There is nothing that could happen that would change us being friends."

I smile and Sebastian adds, "I'm going to marry you, so we will always be friends." Her head pops straight up. She turns her head so fast she could crack her own neck. Sebastian laughs at her excitement. I turn my head so he can't see my disappointment.

Sebastian puts his hand on her head, "We are freshman in high school. We have, like, 4 years before we can even get married, so don't get too excited." She lowers her head in embarrassment.  He smiles.

I pop my headphones in and listen to my favorite song by I Am a Ghost, "Pretty People Never Lie, Vampires Really Never Die." I bop my head to the beat and try to ignore the two love bugs. Carter has a giant smile on her face as she pulls away from Sebastian's kisses.
