I'm falling in love with my best friend (Patrick Stump)

You need him. I could be him

Patrick let me go from the hug having a sad but happy smile on his face.

"How can someone so broken look so beautiful at the same time?"

I blushed but said "my heart is like a stallion they love it more when it's broken."

He gave me a sad smiled. "Then how about we go and play pretend." He said as we walked into his room. I sat down by his window looking outside.

"You don't have to keep you're feelings locked away Jordan." He said.

"I know, I just don't want you to see me cry."

"It won't matter I won't think of you any different."

"What do you think of me as?"

"I see you as a beautiful, talented, kind, smart, and sarcastic as hell, kickass girl that I'm proud to call my best friend." He said. I smiled and felt the tears roll down my face.

"You're my best friend to." I said hugging him. I started to cry more.

"I'm sorry." I said trying to stop crying.

"No let it out." He said. He came next to me not letting go of me.

I looked up and saw the rain coming down. "Look at that even the sky is crying." I said with a small laugh.

Patrick and I laid there in his bed taking about anything and everything. I told him things I've never told anyone.

We both cried and laughed. He sang songs to me really off key to make me laugh and brighten my day.

"Welcome to paradise!" He sang sounding like a chipmunk making me giggled to death.

"Trick stop-I- I can't breath." I said dying.

We calmed down our laughter and store at the ceiling.

"You know I just feel like people tell me these things just to get me to shut up, I feel like I'm so annoying. I feel like I annoy you all the time." I said turning to face him.

He faced me. Our faces were inches apart.

"You could never annoy me." He said smiling. I noticed his eyes looking between my eyes and lips.

"See what if you're just saying that."

"I could never lie to you."

I turned my head. The urge to kiss him was becoming too much. He turned his head and said "I want you to know you mean a lot to me Jordan. I know you think you're so useless but you're not. You're so miserable and stunning."

"Thank you so much Patrick." I looked at my phone and saw it was 10.

"Holy smokes it's 10." I said.

"I'm guessing you're gonna go then." He asked.

"I have to before my dad gets home." I told him.

"I'll see you at Petes tomorrow?"

"Yup, I'll walk you out."

Patrick's pov

I can tell Jordan and I have something special. I've been trying to hide it from myself. But it always comes back to me. When I see her laugh. Hear her talk. Feel my heart break when she cries. I can't keep it from myself much longer. I'm deeply, madly in love with my best friend.

We share so much with each other. I know I know so much that the others don't. She hides away what she really feels around everyone else.

She can be so strong. I just want to be alone with her. I've never loved someone so much.

I-I love her. I really love her.

Patrick pov next day at Petes

Petes mom let me in and I hear everyone from the basement. My mom and I were at a store before coming here so we're a bit late.

I saw Jordan smiling, laughing, you could never tell that was the girl the poured her heart out to me last night. You could never tell this girls mom has been gone for 8 years of her life.

We share something special. 

"Hey Patty." Pete said. I rolled my eyes.

"Hey you let Jordan call you Patty."

"That's different." I said to Pete sitting down next to Jordan. I kept looking at her. Trying to sit close to her. Pete gave me some weird and happy looks.

When Jordan wasn't looking Pete pointed between us and made hearts. I blushed and tried getting him to stop.

She looked back and saw Pete and I freeze up.

"You okay?" She asked with a cute little laugh.

"We're fine." I said. She shrugged and got up to talk to Andy.

Pete pulled my over to the other side of his room.

"Dude you like her I knew it!" He whispered.

"Dude shut up. She doesn't like me." I said with the realization hitting me.

"She does. It's so obvious. Even when you first introduced me to her I could tell the two of you had something between each other."

"Pete come on when does the person you like ever like you back."

"Trick just listen to me. She likes you. I say go for it."

"Hey guys wanna go grab something for dinner?" Jordan asked across the room.

"Yea give us one second." Pete said. He looked back at me "you better make your move soon Trick. Before your window closes." He stood up walking over to Jordan, Joe, and Andy.

They walked out as Jordan waited for me to walk with her. This that a sign she likes me. We're walking close to each other. Our arms touch sometimes. I can feel the spark when we touch.

If I can feel that can she. How am I supposed to know.

"Hey mom were going out!" Pete called and his mom yelled "okay." We walked out, all getting into Petes car.

"So pizza?" Pete asked.

"No." We all said at the same time.

"What why?"

"Pete you're like 95% pizza. Can we go to Taco Bell. Come on just this time." Jordan asked making the most hopeful face ever.

"Fine. You own me pizza."
