The wind blew gently through the tall trees. The flowers were in full bloom. The warmth from the sun shone down on me. Summer was finally here.

Green grass beneath me. Blue skies above. How much better could it get. Why couldn't I stay here forever. Sighing, I stared blankly up at the cloudless sky. I wish he was here. A tear rolled down my cheek followed by another and another. Eventually there were tears streaming down my face. Suddenly, footsteps padded up from behind me. My heart stopped and I wiped the tears from my face. ''Who's there'' I shouted out to scared to turn round. The footsteps quickened and big hands grabbed onto my shoulders.

"DON'T KILL ME'' I screamed and pleaded.

I squirmed around kicking and screaming with my eyes closed. ''OW'' yelled a voice I knew.

I opened my eyes to see my bestfriend hopping around clutching his leg.

''Crystal it was only me!'' He groaned.

''Jay that wasn't funny. I was really scared''

I crossed my arms annoyed. Rubbing his leg one last time he walked up to me. He wrapped his arms round my waist and whispered ''I know you love me really'' in my ear.

My eyes popped as I turned around and pushed him away quickly. ''Were best friends Jay'' I squeaked my face still hot from our encounter. "I was only playing with you" He laughed.

I couldn't help but laugh. I knew I probably looked like a paranoid fool. Jay and I have been friends for a long time. We've known eachother since we were little cause I mums went to school together. He's probably the funniest person I know. Even though we've been best friends for such a long time I've never really thought I wanted to be anything more than that. But for the past few week I've realised that I don't want to be just best friends. I want to be more.

He perched himself next to me on the grass.

"How ya doin" He asked

"I'm fine" I replied

"Good. Ok enough about you" He grinned.

-.-

The only bad thing about Jay is that he is a boy. I wouldn't be surprised if he had no emotions. I haven't told him that I love him. My best (girl) friends say that I can't love him yet cause I haven't gone through the like stage. But I have. I've known him long enough to say that I love him. But I'm selfish. Losing what we have now and how we feel about eachother as friends is painful but wanting to be more than that is worse but its too big a sacrifice. So each day I pretend that nothing is wrong and wait for a miracle to happen. But it never does. Smirking mischievously, Jay moved in front of me.

"Whats wrong with you" I frowned "Oh nothing. Just thinking about this fine girl I saw today" He said nonchalantly.

My heart stopped.

"Oh ... Really" I whispered

"Yeah, I was gonna get her name and number but she'd already gone" he sighed.

My heart started beating again and a sigh of relief shook my body. Jay frowned.

"What"

"Oh Nothing"

I looked at the grass to avoid eye contact. I knew he was still looking at me then eventually looked away. For the rest of the time we sat in silence listening to the sound of the world. I hate when we don't talk. So I finally broke the silence.

"Jay"

"Yeah"

"What .... erm ... do you" I stammered

"Yeah" he stared at me eagerly.

"Do you ... think ... of .... ermmm" I couldn't do it "What did you think of when you saw that girl"

I mentally slapped myself. What a dumb question.

"Hehe" I smiled awkwardly.

"Why" He frowned.

"Oh just asking"

"Ok. She was really pretty. So I thought if u got her number we could maybe meet up and er maybe ... go out"

He was blushing even though he was black he had light skin.

"Oh" I gulped.

Jay liked a girl. I'm going to be sick. I've got to get out of here. My eyes started to well up.

"Erm ... well I've got to go" I ran. "Hey where you going'' He shouted after me.

But by that time I was already out of sight.
