James

I know exactly what I'll do! I'll write out my feelings to her, and then she will see exactly how much she means to me.

Audrey,

We've known each other our whole lives, and you have always been there for me. All these years, I have kept one thing from you. I've always been afraid to admit this, but I've always had feelings for you. Ever since that day after school in my tree house when you kissed me, I knew I loved you. I have been so afraid to tell you because I don't want to lose my best friend. You mean more than the whole world to me, and I don't know what I would do if I ever lost you. Especially if it was just because I couldn't keep my feelings to myself. I hope this isn't too weird for you, but I really want to give this a shot. I know I can make you happier than anyone ever has, if you'll only give me a chance.

As my finger reaches to hit send, I stop myself just in time to realize what it would mean if I sent this to Audrey. That would mean my feelings would be out there. She would know how I really feel, and there would be no turning back. "I can't do this", I say to myself. It's all too permanent. I'm not ready for this. What if she doesn't like me like that? What if it freaks her out? What if she never talks to me again?

Instead of hitting send, I copy and paste my love letter and save it to my computer. I promise myself I'll send it eventually. Just not right now. I can't take that risk. I open Facebook, and message Audrey.

Me: Hey Audrey, you there?

A few minutes later, I hear the notification that I got a message.

Audrey: Hey James. What's up?

Me: Not much, how are you? I reply.

Audrey: Good. Just heading out now to meet up with Chad.

Chad? She never said anything about a Chad...

Audrey: I haven't mentioned him to you because I didn't think it was anything serious.. But now, I'm not so sure.

Me: Are you sure now?

Good thing I didn't send that message.... Bullet dodged there..

Audrey: Yeah. I mean, I think so.. We're going out for coffee.

Audrey: I gotta go. I'll call you later and tell you how it goes.

Audrey: Later James! :)

And just like that, she was gone.
