Me and Dan have been best friends since primary school. Our families have known each other for years. But lately, I've been feeling something more about him. He's honestly the best guy I've ever met, and sure I've liked many guys before, but he was different. I genuinly care about him more than anyone. Ever. But I'm almost positive he doesn't feel the same. Lately I've been feeling really alone. Since I've ended school I haven't talked to many of my friends. They're all moving away. But Dan's stayed. He says he's met this new girl that he really likes. I feel crushed everytime he texts or calls talking about her. I immediately have to hang up or stop replying, it just hurts too much. He doesn't even care anymore. Hasn't asked me about my life once in the past month.

Suddenly, my phone starts buzzing and buzzing, I look down in confusion to see text after text from Dan himself. I didn't even have to text him first, that's new. I unlock my phone and read them, "Hey" "Are you mad?" "I'm sorry Liz." etc. I roll my eyes and throw my phone back down when he finally stops. I don't bother to reply, knowing he'll just suck up to me. I really don't even care anymore. My phone buzzes again, only once this time. "I'm coming over." My heart begins to beat fast. I spring up from my bed and start pacing. What am I going to say? What if he finds out how I've been feeling...what I've been doing...? I glance down at the scars on my arm and sprint to the living room to get a sweatshirt, but before I can reach it I hear a knock at the door. I start to panic, freezing in my spot. I forget everything I'm doing, and mechanically walk over to the door. I open it slowly, composing myself. I finally see his face. The one I've missed for months. My mind tells me to run up and give him a bear hug but I refrain myself, he doesn't care. He doesn't care.

"Hey!" He says with a huge smile. "Hey" I say, putting on a small fake smile. Looking at him just hurts. The fact that he wouldn't talk to me besides about that girl for what seems like forever, then has the nerve to show up at my house expecting me to be happy about it crushes me. His smile automatically turns into a frown, noticing my fake smile. "What's wrong?" He says in a low voice, reaching out for my arm. I flinch away, and look at the ground. "Nothing." I reply. "Is this about Meredith?" That was the girl's name. I pause for a moment, not knowing how to reply. How did he know? I look up at him. He had a look of guilt in his eyes. I shake my head, "It's fine Dan. I know you really like her." I start to turn away, but he turns me around by the shoulder. "No, it's not fine. I know that look Liz. Don't give me that." "Don't give YOU that?" I snap. He looks surprised by my raise in volume. He opens his mouth to say something, but I interrupt.

"You haven't talked to me, your best friend since we were 5, for a month. Nothing. All I get is 'I met this new girl she's sooooo nice!' 'I loooove her!'. You know how much that hurts Dan? Do you?" I look him straight in the eye, tears welling up. "I-" "It hurts a lot Dan. A lot." I say, bringing my voice down. I slowly look down and turn my arm so the inside is facing towards him. The tears pour over. And a lot of them. "Look, I didn't mean t-" "Save it." I say, walking away and into my room. I shut the door and collapse into a ball on my bed. I stain the comforter with tears. He knows. I look like a coward. I continuously shake my head to myself. This isn't really happening. Then I began to feel bad. I didn't even let him speak. He probably had a reason. I slowly sit up and swing my legs around so they are hanging off the bed. I start to wipe the tears off my face when I hear my door open. "Can I come in?" He says, just above a whisper. I nod slightly. He sits down next to me and stares at the ground. "Sorry. I kinda freaked out on you there." I say, turning to him. "It's understandable." He says. "Anyways, let me explain." He began.

"I'm so sorry I haven't genuinely talked to you. You know I would never do that to you. You know it. To be blatently honest, I kept on talking about Meredith to make you jealous. I don't know why. I just, I wanted to see how you would react for some reason. I was so stupid...But now I realize how bad my stupid decision really was. Look, I just haven't been myself lately because..." He trailed off. Then he looked up at me. His face was filled with sorrow and guilt. He started to shake his head and look back down. "Because why?" I said, not wanting to lose the conversation. It felt nice to finally talk to him. "Because..." A single tear dripped down his precious face. "B-because I, erm, I.." He stuttered out. Then he sat up and took a deep breath. "Because I like you. And I know you don't feel the same but-" I stopped him by putting my hand on his shoulder. He looked at me confused. Another tear fell down my face, matching his. "I like you too. Like, like like." I said, smiling. A huge smile spread across his face. His gaze fell back to my forearm. Guilt came back to his eyes. "Look, I'm so sor-" "It's fine." I interrupt, still smiling. He looks back at me with that cheeky grin of his. "Lizzie, will you be my girlfriend?"
