"best friends"

Chapter 5

"Wh-what?" Your jaw drops.

"I am" he looks at you

You both stand there in silence as you stand there in aw.

"Remember all those times this summer when we went to the lake and you hated yourself because of that swimsuit and I told you you looked you're absolutely beautiful and you smiled? And that's all you did? Or the time I waited for you to fall asleep after what happened with you and chad?"

You look down with tears in your eyes not wanting to be reminded of chad.

"Well? Don't you see it?"

"I do now" you look at him with tears in your eyes.

"I've taken care of you over the last 17 years, and you sure as hell have done the same with me" he walks close to you looking sincerely into your eyes looking like he's about to kiss you.

He leans in and kisses you. His lips were soft and seem to perfectly fit onto yours. When he pulls back as he opens his eyes. As you two stand there for a second.

"I think I'll walk home" you pat your hand on his chest. He looks at you crushed. Not knowing what to say as you walk away with tears in your eyes. You have so many mixed feelings going on. The kiss was amazing and you felt that spark that you've never felt with anyone else, ever. But he was your best friend. And that's something you have to take into consideration. That if you went out with him, dated him. What would it be like if you two broke up? Not only would you lose your best friend, but he lives with you and your mom for crying out loud.

When you get home you open your bedroom door and see food in a bag with a note

"Thought you would still be hungry, got your favorite -H"

You set aside the food and the soda and sit on the bed thinking about what to do. You were in love with him, but how were you supposed to deal with it?
