Love isn't the right word

"What do we do now?" I ask, laying nude on Lila's lap.

"I don't know." I stay silent. I let a single tear fall down my face. Lila looks at me, her eyes confused. I let a low sob escape my lips. She wraps her arms around my shoulders, pulling my body closer to hers.

"I love you." I say, my voice full of sobs.

"I love you too." I hear her say, I scrunch my eyes closed, letting another flood of tears pour down my face. "Actually..." I look up.

"Yes?" I ask. Fear covering me. I can't believe it. She doesn't love me. She doesn't like me. She used me. She's not my best friend. She wanted my body the whole time. Oh my god. I got hurt again. My mind is coated in dreadful thoughts.

"I....."Her voice travels off. "I have to go." She says before pushing me off of her, and she snatches her clothes up, and runs out my door, leaving me stranded. I sit on the floor, and cry. I cry for hours, I cried myself asleep, wondering what I did.

---------------------------------------

I woke up with a crook in my neck. I groan as I climb off the floor, and I wrap myself in my discarded robe. My phone is flashing. I pick it up, and there's a text from Lila. I feel my face get tingly, and a tear leaks from my left eye, down my cheek. I read the message. Meet me at Oakley Grove Fountain @ 8 tonight

I read it over and over, wondering wat she could possibly want. I shrug, and check the clock. It's five in the afternoon. I wonder how the hell I managed to sleep for so long. I groan as I shuffle myself up my stairs, and I run myself a scolding hot bath. I soak my body in it, feeling my muscles constrict and relax as I let myself go.

I open my eyes when my phone rings. I look over, and it's the alarm on my phone telling me it's already seven at night. I release I'm freezing, and I slide out of the bath tub. I sigh, and walk into the closet. I find my dark reddish burgundy dress. It has an open back, and it ends about mid-thigh. I slip it on, with a black lace bra, and a black thong to match. I slip on my black heels, and my hair is still dry because I never got it wet in the bath. I run a brush through it, and I snatch my phone. I grab my keys, and I walk over to my car. I slide in, and do minimum makeup in the car. Some winged eyeliner, a few swipes of mascara, and a dab of lipstick to make them pop.

My heart raced as I drove there, my mind filled with wonder, curiosity, and worry. Oakley Fountain is this huge statue that has swans and it's made from white marble. It is always running, and it's known for romance, obviously. But not many people go there much anymore. I pull up, and I find the entire place, the tree's, the dry parts of the fountain, a table, a bench, covered in lights. There's rose petals, white ones, coating the floor and in the water. I slide my body out of my car, my mouth wide open, I gasp.

Lila comes from behind a tree, and my heart begins racing even faster. She has on a white dress. The top is tight, so tight, and the stomach and hips are open, showing skin. The bottom part pops out, and it ends right under her perfectly round ass. Her hair is in beautiful curls, falling lightly and lose around her face. She's wearing a diamond necklace, with earrings and a bracelet to match. And the most beautiful thing she's wearing, is her smile. She walks slowly towards me, a white rose held in her hands.

I realize my position, so I slam my door to my red BMW, and I fix my dress a little. I close my mouth, my heart still beating a million miles an hour. Soon, she's standing right in front of me. "Hey, Jasmine. I brought you here, in hops you would arrive, which thankfully you did, to apologize. I'm sorry I ran out like that. My mind was all combuzzled. I didn't know that I was feeling, but now I do." She says, her eyes getting misty.

"And what's that?" I try to say calmly, but I can hear the quiver in my voice.

"Love."
