Patrick Stump Imagines

You Can't Hide It Nor Deny It

• Your POV •

I looked at the back of his chair. He was hot, charming, funny, witty and smart. A hundred percent boyfriend material. I hated him, but I love him. I just couldn't get it.

We've been best friends for months now, and I'm starting to have feelings for him. I've told this to my friends and they just said that liking him was a phase. It wasn't going to go on any further. But, guess what? It did.

They've tried making me stay away from him; forgetting that he exists and treating him like no one, but it didn't work. In the end, we got back together and our friendship was stronger than ever.

Let me describe our friendship to you: complicated, fun, annoying, enjoyable. He comes to my chair during lunch and randomly kicks my lunchbox playfully or takes stuff away from me and hides it in his place. I always let him get away with it, though. It was all a joke, nothing more, nothing less.

Those. Those little tactics that he did made my feelings grown further. We always had fun during those times. We talked during our free time, and we'd exchange burns or pick-up lines with each other if we had the chance. It was all fun, until this girl came in the picture.

Her name was Elisa; most perfect of the perfect. She was one of Patrick's friends, but I believe that Patrick and I's friendship is stronger. Even if that thought stayed in my head, I couldn't help but feel jealous.

I mean, ever since she and him became close, they bonded out more than often, and even held hands at some moments. I hated Elisa; her perfect face, hair and personality just made the chances of Patrick falling in love with her more. If I had the chance, I'd bury her alive and never come back to her. But no, that was illegal.

Pete, also one of Patrick's friends, but also mine and closer to me, told me that Patrick confessed to him that he liked Elisa, that she was his true love. But even Pete didn't believe it; he believed that Patrick's brain was the one talking when he confessed. The way he said it to Pete was just-like, forced. As what Pete said.

Pete told me one thing: his brain says Elisa, but his heart says YOU.

Yeah, right. I'm pretty sure Patrick likes Elisa with his HEART and his MIND and that Pete was forced to say that Patrick's heart likes me to me because he didn't want me to be depressed about the whole thing..

But Pete told me one thing. That one thing which I doubted on the outside, but trusted on the inside.

"A person's pupils can expand up to 55% when s/he sees someone s/he loves. I've seen his eyes do this whenever he looked at you; and not at Elisa."

Another thing he said was that he noticed something different about Patrick every time he was with me, like, a different aura or feeling. It wasn't the same with what his aura was with Elisa; a cold-hearted monster.

"I've known him for many years. I know his every action and feeling. He likes you, not Elisa."

Pete told me that Patrick was also being a jerk to me because he was hiding his feelings from me, concealing it. How was hurting me going to hide his feelings?

So basically, Pete doubts his friend's theory that he likes Elisa. He thinks otherwise. He thinks that Patrick likes me and not Elisa. I don't know if that was possible, but I sure hope it is.

But now, I'll just hang on to this saying;

"His mind says Elisa, his heart says YOU."
