"You're my friend, isn't that enough?"
"Not for me." She said with a pause to hold back her tears. "You just don't get it, being friends with you is never going to be enough. Being best friends with you is not going to be enough either. Do you get it now?! Do you understand tha-" she began to form tears in her eyes, "ugh, just forget it, I am so tired of having to spell everything out for you and still have you be clueless." She stormed off and started angrily walking down the street.
"Hey! Come on, come back!" He chased after her and grabbed her arm, spinning her around. "Please just talk to me. Look, we both have leave and go our separate ways in a matter of months and I just can't leave knowing we never told each other our true feelings" he continued to say, holding onto her shoulders. She took a deep breath and looked down at the ground unable to lift her head and look into his beautiful brown eyes. She finally lifted her head and wiped the tears away from her eyes. He was the most beautiful, charming and funny person she had met in a long time. Over seven years the two of them had bonded over making fun of everyone they went to high school with, spitting sarcastic comments back and forth at each other and finally getting out of the hell hole they both called high school.
"You even said it yourself, in a matter of months we'll both have our own separate lives, so what is the point of telling each other how we feel if we won't be able to do anything about it?" She said trying to pull away.
"I guess it will just let us get a bit closer. I don't know when I'll be back, you'll be back for long weekends and holiday break, but I don't even know where I'll be on holiday break. I could be back home or halfway across the country. I can't just leave one of my friends without having some sort of closure, especially if you are like this." he said pulling her back in.
"Can you just stop using that term?! I am so sick of being just friends or whatever. I am in love with you and I have been for almost two years! But it's fine, we're both leaving and we'll have our own lives so it won't matter what I say to you because I know nothing will ever happen. So let's just leave it at that." She said running away.
He ran after her and spun her around just like they did in those cheesy Nicholas Spark movies. He grabbed her face and wiped away the fresh tears that were running down her face and kissed her. It was long, intimate, and passionate. It was something she had never experienced before, but something she had dreamed of since she could remember. He stepped back, still holding her face, looking into her deep green eyes unable to look away.
"Do you want to know why I referred to you as a friend? Because if I said anything else, it would have broken my heart even more than it already is. I thought I was just a friend to you, sometimes I thought you hated me, so I pushed away." he said lowering his head and staring at the ground.
