I love you, best friend.

Chapter One:

I remember the first time I laid eyes on him. His short, brown hair that brought out his gorgeous brown eyes. His beautiful smile that just left you love struck. His long legs and the way he walked, just flaunting. Wondering if he ever had the slightest clue of how I felt. His dimples and how one is deeper than the other. And his laugh. Oh, his laugh. But what caught my eye the most, was the pain I saw in his. I wanted to save him.

He can see right through me, straight to my heart and I swear he knows me more than I know myself. But the one thing he can't seem to see through is the amount of love I hold in my heart, just for him.

The first time Engel and I hung out alone, he brought me to his grandparent’s lake house. We walked along the dirt roads most of the time, talking and getting to know each other better. Although, he did most of the talking. I never told him this, because I couldn’t, but I was love struck. I didn’t talk much because I couldn’t talk. I didn’t know what to say, and I didn’t want to say or do the wrong thing. There was this moment, though, he was sitting and looked up at me. His eyes sparkled like the sun was shining just for him and he was talking about how interested he was in learning guitar. The beauty that he had to know this instrument from top to bottom was just so fascinating. It was like he was in love with the thought of being able to make something as beautiful as music. I just kept staring into his eyes, as he went on and on with that gorgeous smile on his face. I fell for him right then and there. So many times I wanted to kiss him. But all I did was hug him. That’s all I could do. He couldn’t know how I truly felt. He couldn’t know that I was falling for him. But I was. So deeply, so quickly, but oh so real.
