-IAN POV-

I don't want to tell him.

As the week went on, more and more doubts started to cloud my mind.

What if he rejects me?

What if he's creeped out?

What if I ruin our entire friendship?

I shook my head, clearing all the thoughts away. I have to do this. I need to let him know how much he means to me before something happens to one of us.

I sat up in bed, stretching and yawning. I would invite him to our favorite restaurant tonight. Then, I would take him to the beach. I would tell him there.

I was so nervous.

But I had to.

I got out of bed and got ready for the day.

"Hey Anthony, you wanna go out to dinner tonight?" My hand was shaking as I held the phone against my ear.

"Uh, sure. Any reason why?"

"N-no. I just wanted to... uh... spend time with you." I could sense the questioning in his voice as he said goodbye and hung up.

I buried my head in my hands and let out a sigh. Three hours. I would tell him in three hours.

That is, if I don't chicken out at the last minute.
