Gilinsky Imagine

"Hey come over please we need to talk" I say into the phone talking to my best friend Jack.

Me and Jack have been best friends since kindergarten so we've grew up together, we've always stuck by each other no matter what so when we got into high school I never really focused on another boy, just Jack.

That's all going to change now though, since he hit puberty he's changed a lot and in a good way and let's just say I developed some feelings for him. Yep I'm falling in love with my best friend, that was until today when I finally realised that I am in love with him.

I'm meant to be telling him how I feel for him today and I'm scared on how he will react. He did tell me that he was in love with the popular girl in school: Madison Beer. When he told me that my stomach dropped and i cried myself to sleep that night ignoring his texts and calls.

"Yeah sure. Is everything okay?" His worried deep voice asks me and just from the sound of his voice I get goosebumps.

"I don't know and that's why I need you here right now" I say now biting my nails, it's always been a bad habit of mine when I'm nervous. "Just hurry okay" and I put the phone down before he can say anything else.

I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling waiting for him to just come in. We've always done that to each other; walk in without knocking, it's just natural after so many years. I lay there contemplating of chickening out but I knew this had to be done. I had to know if he felt the same.

"I'm here. What's up?" Just when I hear that voice and the door opens I quickly stand up straightening out my t-shirt ready for my hopes and dreams to come crashing down.

"Can you hurry? Madison is waiting in the car outside" Jack says annoyance laced in his voice.

"Madison? I didn't know you were together?" I say trying to not let my voice get the best of me and crack, it's official he doesn't feel anything for me and I'm standing here trying not to cry in front of the guy I'm completely in love with.

"We're not together yet it's just a date but I will be asking her to be my girlfriend tonight. Do you think she'll say yes?" He asks still stood in the door way of my bedroom, not one sign of him moving towards me or my bed where he usually sits down.

"I don't know but before you do you need to hear this" I say now sitting on my bed waiting for him to sit down next to me. He slowly makes his way towards my bed and perches himself just on the edge, he looks at me sceptical. Here goes nothing.

"Jack I'm in love with you. I have been ever since we went on holiday together this summer" I say holding my head down not wanting to see his reaction but when a minute goes by in silence I urge myself to look up at him.

He huffs and runs his hand through his hair, a habit of his when he's nervous. "I'm sorry but I just don't feel the same way" he's using a soft gentle voice like he's trying not to break me but inside I already am.

"I have to go. I need some time to think. I'll see you in biology tomorrow" he says now standing up leaving my room and even though I wanted to shout him back I just watched him leave instead.

As soon as my bedroom door is shut I flop down onto my bed crying into my pillow. I had to get this pain out of my stomach so I let it all out in tears not caring that my pillow was getting wet.

JACKS POV

My best friend loves me. I say this in my head so many times that there's now a mantra going through it.

Walking away heading towards the stairs I hear her sobs coming from her bedroom and it breaks me, I hate seeing my best friend upset and I just want to hug her and tell her everything will be alright but this time I can't cause I'm the one who caused the pain. Do you know how it feels hurting your best friend? Not nice, there's like a massive rock in my gut making me feel sick.

I walk outside towards Madisons BMW convertible and instead of getting in I just stand there.

"You getting in or not? The movie is going to start in like 10 minutes" Madison asks me and I just shake my head no and begin to walk away towards my other friend Johnsons place.

I get to Johnsons house and I just walk in going to the fridge getting a can of Coke. I walk into the living room seeing Johnson and Skate playing on the Xbox. I plop down on the bean bag chair just drinking my Coke looking up at the ceiling. I can't get her out of my head and by her I mean my best friend. This shouldn't be happening, I can't get feelings for my best friend.

"Alright what's wrong with you?" Johnson now asks me throwing his controller down, noticing the state I'm in.

"She told me she's in love with me" I say huffing then taking another gulp of my drink.

"Finally! she's told you! I was about to tell you myself, I was getting annoyed how long she was taking" Skate says drinking his beer.

"You knew?" I ask him furrowing my eyebrows at him annoyed how he knew and I only found out today.

"G everyone knew. You could tell by the way she'd just look at you and how she'd blush and giggle every time you were around her" Johnson now says and I realise I've been such an idiot not noticing it.

"The question is though. Do you feel anything for her?" Skate asks and I know the answer but I just don't want to say it out loud cause once you say it out loud you convince yourself it's true. Do I want it to be true? And the more I ask myself that question the more it becomes clearer. I'm in love with my best friend also.

"I have to go sort some things, I'll see you guys tomorrow" I say now heading out going towards her place once again.

(YOUR POV)
I cried myself to sleep. That's the first time I've ever cried myself to sleep and now I have a wet sticky face and I feel groggy.

I get woken up by knocking on my bedroom door and soon it opens revealing Jack.

I stand up about to say something but before I do I get cut off by him storming over and placing his lips on mine. I couldn't help but kiss back, it felt so right, so natural. The way our lips mounded together just seemed like it was meant to be.

"I am such a jerk and I'm so sorry for what I said before because honestly it isn't true" he says his hands still on my face and his eyes fixed on mine.

"No I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told you I mean I could've ruined our friendship and that means everything to me" I say to him now sat down on my bed but really I wish I could be back in his arms again. It felt so right.

"I'm glad you did tell me. I'm in love with you and I'm stupid for only realising 10 minutes ago. Will you please please be mine?" He asks me with wide hopeful eyes

"Now Jack we both know that's not how we say please" I say trying not to laugh and when his dimpled smile breaks through butterflies went whizzing around my stomach.

"Pretty pretty please with sprinkles and sugar on top?" He scoots closer to me closing the gap between us and with one nod of my head he attaches our lips together again.
