My Silly Boy

"I told Dan that I loved him."

Pj stared at me. "You what?"

"I love Dan. I'm in love with him, Pj."

"What happened?"

"He told me that he doesn't feel the same." I looked up at the ceiling, holding in my tears.

"He has a girlfriend now. Maybe that's why?"

"I don't know, Peej. I want him to be happy. But I can't go on feeling like this."

"Maybe you need to get away for awhile. You can come stay with me."

"Thank you Pj." I smiled.

"We're back!" Dan walked in. "PEEJ!"

Pj smiled at Dan and they hugged.

"I haven't seen you in forever. What brings you here?"

"Phil got lonely while you and Megan were on a breakfast date."

Megan was clinging onto Dan and staring me down. I hate her. It might sound harsh, but I get bad feelings about her. I hope she treats him right.

"Do you want to spend the night?" Dan asked Pj.

"Yeah, sure!" Pj happily answered. "We haven't had a sleepover in so long."

We all piled onto the couch and of course, Megan was up Dan's ass. I shouldn't be so jealous. Why can't I just let him be happy?

Hours passed and Megan and Dan had fallen asleep in each other's arms.

I shook Pj until he woke up.

"Dude. It's 3am."

"We're leaving." I slung my holographic galaxy backpack over my shoulder.

"Now?"

"I don't want to hurt Dan's relationship anymore. This jealousy is eating me alive."

We left the house and started walking down the road.

"Shouldn't you text him or leave a note?" Pj looked concerned.

"No."
