It's always been you | c.t.h

The trees zoomed by as I stated out the window. "We're here" Michelle said, "And you have a lot to tell me" she said again.

We've been driving for a while now, and only now I realized that we were on a mountain. I got out of the car and stared out at the city.

I took a seat on the hood of Michelle's car as I sighed. "Well, it all started about a year ago. I have always been best friends with Calum, but I always knew deep down that I felt something more for him. It didn't matter if he felt the same way for me. He made me so happy, and tonight I just kind of lost it. How could he be so blind? I just wish he knew how much he means to me" I said as I fumbled with my hands.

"He's changed my life in so many ways. He's opened up a new world for me, whether it'd be the new perspectives I see now, or the new emotions I get everyday when I'm with him. I love him so much, and honestly, I don't want to lose him, but I give up already. He clearly doesn't feel the same way. I try so hard and things never go my way." A tear ran down my cheek slowly as I stared into the distance.

"I know, Haylee. I can see it in the way that you look at him. My mom always told me to not find love, but let love find you. That's why it's called falling in love, because you don't force yourself to fall, you just fall. You've been hurt way too many times, my darling, but that is something that cannot be controlled, you know ? We're all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you've been through enough pain and heartbreaks, you start to suspect that there is no right person, just different flavors of wrong. But Haylee, Calum is your person. You and him belong together, and if you really loved him, you'll fight for him. Sometimes, two people have to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together. You deserve the world, love. And Calum will give that to you. Just give him time. I'm sure he'll come around." Michelle smiled as she wiped my tear with the pad of her thumb.

"I guess you're right. but what do I do about Arianne? he really likes her and if she makes him happy , then I don't want to take that away from him" I said.

"But just think about how happy you can make him"

Calum's POV
I pulled her arm back gently stopping her from walking away, "Haylee! I don't understand! Please just talk to me!" I yell.

She turns around, her eyes bloodshot. "You know why I'm crying?! It's because this whole fucking time that we've been best friends i was hoping that you would see it! but you're incredibly blind. I've tried so hard to get you to notice and you never did! And it fucking hurts having to hide how i feel Calum!" She yelled.

"What do you mean?! I don't know what you're talk-"  she cut me off.

"I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU CALUM!"

Wait what ?! Is she being serious ? Haylee Jacobs, my best friend for over 10 years, is in love with me ?

I go silent, not really knowing what to say. I take a few moments trying to process what she's telling me.

"Haylee..." I manage to say, trying my best to find my words. "You know what, just forget it! It's not my fault that i love you" she sobs. God it's so heart breaking to see her cry, she's so beautiful and she doesn't deserve to cry this hard over heartache and love.

"I have been since the day we've met and you're  were too fucking blind to see it. I loved you even more than my own self, Cal! And it hurts seeing you with her!"

Just then, a car pulls up. The driver looks awfully familiar, Haylee steps back and glances at me one last time before getting into the car. "Where are you going ?" I ask.

She doesn't answer me, instead they just drive off leaving me here.

I don't know how I should feel right now. I love Haylee so much and I hate seeing her this hurt. How long has she had these feelings for me ? I mean I've always thought about it, but I never actually thought she would come clean to it.

"Hey Cal, are you okay?! What happened?" Arianne comes running behind me. She taps my shoulder and I turn my head, I could no longer hold in any tears, they were just flowing out.

Arianne saw my tears and immediately hugged me, trying to comfort me I assume.

I think I just lost my best friend.
