Hollands pov

Dylan and I have been friends all our lives. Literally. We grew up together, auditioned for Teen Wolf together, we even lived together for a while. That was, until his girlfriend moved in and I had to move out... He didn't kick me out, he actually asked if it was okay for her to move in. I didn't want to hurt his feelings of course so I said sure, why not. It's not like I'm going to try to steal you from her...

He didn't hear that part, luckily. So, I moved out of the apartment me and my best friend bought for us. Tyler offered for me to stay with him and I happily accepted. He was my second best friend. I told him all the things I couldn't tell Dylan. For example, how in love I am with him, how seeing the way he looks at Brit crushes me every time, how when I moved out wasn't because of "them needing their privacy" it was because seeing them do the things we used do, like staying up all night watching Star Wars, or cuddle while watching scary movies, or him comforting me when I would have nightmares.

Tyler knows everything, he could simply go off and tell him everything. How I feel about him. How watching him watch her shatters me inside. How many nights Tyler has had to come calm me down after having a nightmare about him. He could go and tell Dylan everything, but I made him promise me he wouldn't. I don't know what I would do if he told him. I would probably run off and let him hate me for it.

All of this started when Dylan got casted for 'The First Time' back in 2013. Apparently him and Brit hit it off pretty well and began dating soon after. About four months she moved in, two after that I moved out. I always knew it would happen, I looked at him admiration and passion in my eyes, but you see... He looked at her the same way I looked at him. On the other hand, she looked at him with lust. Not once have I seen her look at him the way he looks at her. Yet again, he only looks at me with friendship and friendly love in his eyes.

I know how he feels about me and that's only in a friendly way. They have been dating three years. It was their "anniversary" so me and Tyler got our sweats and favorite tee-shirt on and watched a whole bunch of movies. Our night consisted of The Notebook, Me before You, basically every romance film out there and four tubs of Neapolitan Ice Cream. I was cleaning up when the doorbell went off. Tyler said he was going to pick up a pizza, so I opened it thinking it was him.

"Tyler! Thank God! I'm starving!" I say as I open the door. I quickly get picked up and spun around by the one and only, Dylan O'Brien. My dorky best friend who can make me laugh one second and be crushed the next. "Woah! Dylan! Put me down!" I yell while giggling.

"Hol, I have amazing news!" He takes my hands.

"Well? Tell me!" He nodded.

"Okay! I Proposed to Brit and she said yes!" He was so happy, my eyes began watering.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He looked concerned but I smiled at him.

"Nothing, I'm just really happy for you. Congratulations, Dyl." I hugged him. My heart shattered. I've lost him. He's gone. I love him and he loves her. It's over. He gently pulled away and I wiped my tears, "So, um when is the wedding?"

"In about six months." I nodded, "Hol, I know this is kind of very untraditional but will you be my best WOman?" He said emphasizing the WO- part. I laughed and nodded.

"I would be honored to be your best woman, Dyl." He stood up, and hugged me one last time.

"I've got to get going. Love you, Hol." He gave me a small smile. I smiled back.

"Love you too, Dyl" I said right before he closed the door. "Just not like you love me." I collapsed onto the couch. How could this be happening. I've officially lost him. It's not like he cares though. He's in love with Brit. I hear the door click.

"Holland! I got the pizza!" Tyler cheered. I sniffled and looked at him. "Hol, what happened?" He came and sat down next to me.

"I-it's over." I sobbed. "H-he asked her to M-marry him." He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a hug.

"You didn't lose him. He is still YOUR best friend remember." I sniffled and nodded.

"The wedding is in 6 months..."

It's here. Dylan's wedding day. I wish I could tell him how I feel but that would make me a terrible friend... wouldn't it? Telling him on his wedding day?

I was dressed in a slime black, knee length, dress and black heels. She walked down the aisle. Dylan looked amazed. Watching her every move. Me on the other hand, watched him watch her. I felt shattered inside. But was I going to tell him that?

When the time came I handed him the rings and he mouthed a thank you. I smile and nodded, then looked back at Tyler with sad eyes. He gave me a weak smile and rubbed circles into my back.

"You may kiss the bride." I watched as he dipped her and kissed her passionately. I squeezed my eyes shut for a second trying to push down the feelings that were rising inside of me. I felt a tear slide down my face so I quickly swiped it off. I smiled at Dylan. He's happy. That's all that matters.

The reception began soon after. I told Tyler that I was going to drink away everything and not to worry. He said he'd keep an eye on me from afar, I nodded and went to the bar.

"I'm guessing since this is a wedding you only have wine?" The man nodded. I pulled out a 100 dollar bill. "Give me three of your biggest bottles. I don't care what they are." He pulled out three large bottles of Pinot Grigio.

I went outside and sat down against the wall. A while past, a bottle and a half were gone. I was talking to myself about why I didn't act sooner. What he saw in her. How stupid I was for not telling him.

I was drunk. I popped open the third bottle. As soon as it popped I heard my name being called.

"Holland?" Shit. This voice was too familiar. "Holland what the hell are you doing out here?" Dylan. I shrugged.

"I dunno. I guess I couldn't stand watching the guy I love looking at the girl he loves any longer. So, I did something about it. Got my three little friends here and decided to drink until the memories fade." I tilted my head. "But why are you out here? Don't you have a wife and a wedding reception to be at?"

"About that... I was looking for Brit because she kind of disappeared after the wedding. I soon found her, making out with one of my old buddies. She told me she never really loved me. So, we are actually going to get divorced tomorrow. As crazy as that sounds."

I looked up at him. "Oh, Dylan. You know sometimes you can be so blind." I say in a sing song tone.

"What do you mean, Hol?" He chuckled.

"I mean you were head over heels with her when you didn't even notice who was in love with you all this time."

"What do you mean?" I sat up and faced him.

"I mean all those times you were watching her, I was watching you. I moved out because I couldn't stand being around all of the lovey Dovey things. I was crushed when you told me about her. Now, I'm shattered. When you told me you asked her to marry her, I cried for a week. It's hard watching the one you love watch the one he loves."

He began smiling, "Why are you smiling?"

"You just admitted you love me." I tilted my head, about to say something. I couldn't get to the words because I felt a pair of soft lips on mine. He gently pulled away.

"I love you too." He whispered.

"Yes!!!!!!" I look up to see Tyler in the window, cheering. I laughed and stood up.

"Dyl, let's leave here. Go do something fun." I say smiling.

He nodded and took my hand. Who knew. Maybe sharing my feelings wasn't actually a bad idea.
