Just another sleepless night, you think to yourself.
He's always on your mind, and you can't help it.
"He's your best friend and you need to stop." You scold yourself. You can't help but feel this way.
His smile, his eyes, the way he makes you laugh when you're down. You love it all.
You wish he were yours.
Whenever he hugs you, it's the warmest thing you receive, and his embrace keeps you warmer when you're cold.
Butterflies roam through your stomach whenever you hold his hand.
You check the time on your phone. It's 2:10, and you have school today.
You want to tell him how you feel, but you're scared he'll push you away. You don't want that.
You shut your eyes and try and fall asleep but fail miserably. An hour has passed and it is now 3:10.
You decide to get on your phone and you see that Nick has tweeted. You sigh and retweet it.
You immediately receive a text, and it's from Nick.
"You're never up this late on school nights what's wrong?"
You text back.
"I've just been thinking a lot lately."
He texts you again.
"Me too." Nick says.
Then he texts again.
"Can I ask you something?"
You text back.
"Sure."
"How do you tell a girl that you've liked for a while that you've liked her."
You sigh, he'd never love you like that. He's just your best friend. You can feel the sadness taking over your body as you respond.
"Just tell her straight up how you feel. I'm sure she'll like you, you're an amazing person."
You can feel a tear slip from your eye as you quickly wipe it.
"Okay. Thanks." Nick says.
"Yeah no problem." You text him back.
You shut your eyes and try not to think about Nick and anyone else together. You fail and tears begin to fall from your eyes.
Who could he possible like? You think to yourself. Madeline? Maddie? Snow?
Thoughts begin to fill your head as you hear a text message come through your phone.
"Okay, here it goes. So y/n I like you, a lot. No scratch that, I LOVE you. I've been wanting to tell you this forever now. I love how you can give me advice for anything, and I love how you make me smile even when I don't feel like it. I love how you're always there even when you're asleep. If I get hurt you drop everything and come to me and see if I'm okay. I love you. I don't think you'll ever love me back."
You read the text message from Nick and you're smiling from ear to ear as you quickly respond.
"Nick I've loved you for a while now as well. I've stayed up every night thinking about you, and your smile. Wow your smile. It lights up the whole room when you smile. Your eyes, they're beautiful, like 1,000,000 starts, on your face. I love how you're there and you can ask me and come to me about anything. I love your dimples, and how they show on your face when your happy. I love when you hold me, because your embrace keeps me warm. I love everything about you." You text Nick.
"I love you." Nick replies
You respond.
"I love you too."
