Yours Forever.

Chapter 37

Zhenya's POV:
I sat by the bedroom's window, stared at the sparkling stars at night. All I had in my mind was someone very close to me.
The beauty of the night sky and moonlight shone fluorescent, vague winds blowed and kissed my face. Plants in my garden danced along the wind and the lights gloomed as if they were the stars twinkling on the ground. But none of the beauty of this scenery could get me what I wanted.

This was the point in my life where I was going through the pain of one sided love. I loved him but he loved her. The thought of this fact left me in tears but not even the river of this liquid rolling down my cheek could cure my thirst for Luke.

Yes, I fell for Luke. I didn't know how but I did. He was the one for whom my heart cried every night. Everytime he talked about Rosie, my heart beat dropped to it's lowest point. She left him in pieces but he loved her like crazy. I knew that she loved him too, I also knew that she trusted me but I detested her. This was the first time I had such strong feelings towards a guy but him, he loved my best friend. But it wasn't his fault either, she was an amazing person. She was almost, perfect. Somehow I knew that she was still in love with him. I knew her enough to read her mind without her saying a single word. There was some sort of secret she was keeping inside her, she was trying to hide it from me maybe because she was afraid that I would blurt it out infront of him.

She always said mean stuff about him but I knew she sobbed every night remembering him. I knew every single thing she was going through and I knew she was burying that all inside her. Her heart had turned into a graveyard, cold and isolated but I never questioned her a single time. Maybe because I wanted to hate her. I didn't want my heart to melt for her because that would force my conscience to get Rosie her love back but that would make me lose mine.

I remember the day I first met Luke. It was long ago when we were 9. Our fathers worked in the same company and were really close. Once my dad invited his father for dinner at our place and that was when I met him. Luke Bryan. I didn't have feelings for him at that time, obviously we were kids. But later when I met him, he was already committed to Rosie.

She introduced him to me as her boyfriend on the Spring gala and I instantly recognised him but he didn't.
I got his contact number from Rosie as she once told me to tell him not to call her because of her family issues.
He was such a decent guy. I texted him this and all he replied was a simple "ok".
He didn't even look at any other girl since he fell for Rosie.

He used to tell me how he missed her, how he imagined Rosie by her side every day. He craved for her presence and I deeply wished that was me.

The kind of love he felt for Rosie was the kind which every girl dreamt of.
He was smart, intelligent, intellectual and the point that was to be noted the most was that he was honest. He loved just one girl even after every other girl was trying to hit on him but he never even thought about giving his heart to anybody after Rosie.

He was hurting himself by not even trying to move on. He killed himself every single day by remembering her and crying his pain out behind the walls. I felt like an undertaker watching a man drown in the ocean but doing anything about it.

I made Luke laughed till his stomach ached. He smiled brightly when I told him that life would get better but he was in pain inside. He protected me from all my ex boyfriends whose intentions weren't righteous. He got hyper when I did something which would harm. It kind of gave me a feeling that he felt something for me. Maybe not love but at least something, less than that.

I couldn't tell him all this because I didn't want to risk our friendship. Our bond strengthened with time and I sort of knew that I could light up the spark of my love in his heart once he gets over his past. But he wasn't willing to do that. He kept reliving all the moments he had with Rosie and wanted to stay heartbroken about it all the time.

I always wondered why he just didn't see me, caring about him and supporting him all the time. All he saw was that girl who left his heart shattered, broken and isolated.
I wished I could tell him my burning emotions but I didn't want to lose a good friend. I needed him with me even if he didn't feel the same. I wanted to see him happy, just like before and then make him mine and never let anybody hurt him.

I knew I was being selfish. Rosie was my best friend and I had my eyes on her ex. I was aware of the fact that she was in pain without him, she was pretending to be rude. But in real, she never changed. She was still that same old girl who loved everybody unconditionally, especially her mom and Luke. She loved him to the point where she could let him go just for the sake of his happiness and that was what she did.
She was staying away from him so all the happiness and peace of the universe could touch his feet.

But everything is fair in love and war and in this ball game, it was both.
Love was for Luke and War was with Rosie.

Woah! So Zhenya is completely in love with Luke. So maybe that is the reason why she totally loves Luke and even have some clue of the reason why Rosie did all this. But she doesn't want to let Luke know about it. She loves Luke infinitely and is ignoring her conscience which would make her go back to her best friend and help her. What will Zhenya do next? And how is this going to effect Rosie and Luke's life.
