Imagine #2- Jack Gilinsky

Me and Jack have been best friends before we were even one year olds. Our parents are very close so me and Jack have always hung out together. As the years have past, out friendship has grown stronger but the bad part is, my feelings for him have grown stronger along with it. It makes me upset because I know we will never be more than friends; our friendship is too strong to ruin and I know that Jack doesn't feel the same way. It's my birthday today which is basically the day me and Jack first met because he was at the house when I came home for the first time. This means we've been best friends for 18 years and I could never pluck up the courage to tell Jack how I truly feel because I would never want to ruin a friendship that's lasted 18 years. I get ready because Jack is coming over today and he says he's got a surprise for me. There's a knock on the door and I open it to find Jack standing there looking as handsome as ever.

"Just snap out of it," I mutter to myself.

"Snap out of what?" oh shit, Jack must have heard what I said.

"Oh," I was thinking of an excuse, "I was dreaming about my birthday cake! You know I love food!"

"I know that isn't what you were really thinking," Jack chuckled, "but I'll just pretend you never thought out loud."

"Anyway, what's this surprise you have planned?" I asked full of enthusiasm.

Jack pulled out a map, "A treasure hunt!"

"Jack," I laughed, "we're not three anymore!"

"I'm just brining back old memories, that's all!" Jack replied.

I took the map off Jack and I could tell that it was a map of the park we always went to.

"So, I take it we're going to the park then?" I asked.

"You betcha!" Jack winked which made my heart melt but I'm good at concealing my feelings so Jack never noticed.

We got in Jack's car and drove to the park. There were some little flags dotted around the grass and I realised that Jack had put little 'treasures' next to the flags. Me and Jack walked over to the first flag and there was a box which I opened and there was half of a best friends necklace which Jack put on me.

"Where's the other half?" I asked.

"Right here," Jack took out his keys and I noticed the other half of the heart was on a keyring.

"That's amazing!" I squealed with joy, "thanks so much!"

"Your welcome," Jack smiled, "but there's still 3 more flags to go!"

"We better get moving then!" I said as I went over to the second flag which has a photo frame made up of loads of smaller photo frames which Jack had filled with pictures of us from when we were little up until now. This made me tear up.

"Jack," I said, "this has made me realise how close we have always been and that we have literally never been apart from each other. Thanks so much! I'm gonna put this in my room and look at it every day!"

Jack started tearing up as well, "I'm glad you love it so much and I better be able to see it whenever I come round!"

"Of course!" I replied, "Anyway, let's move on to the next flag."

I ran over to the third flag and Jack waited behind looking nervous. As soon as I turned back to see him, he came running up to me.

There was a bottle next to the flag with a piece of paper in. I took the paper out of the bottle and read the message out loud.

"To my beautiful best friend,

I have wanted to say this for years and years so I thought I may as well say it after 18 years so here it goes...

...I love you. Not just as a best friend but I genuinely love you. I love your laugh, the way your eyes light up whenever you're happy or excited, I love the way your hair falls perfectly, I love the way you don't care what other people think. I love you and every little detail about you.

I've always been scared to say this because I didn't want to ruin our friendship after all this time but I can't take it anymore! I love you and I can't be without you, ever! I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want us to grow old together and have kids and live in a house by the beach.

I know you may not feel the same way but I hope you do because I can't take this anymore, I need us to be more than friends.

Love,

Jack<3"

I started tearing up again and all I could do was hug Jack tight and cry on his shoulder. I never knew he felt the same way but it makes me feel like the happiest girl alive knowing that we both love each other. Jack started crying as well because I think he could sense that I was happy. We pulled out of the hug after a few minutes and just smiled at each other.

"So," Jack asked nervously, "everything I wrote came straight from my heart and I meant every single word. Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Of course!" me and Jack hugged tightly again and I could feel Jack smiling which made me smile.

"There's one more flag we need to go to..." Jack said whilst walking to the final flag. There was a notebook which said 'give to the one I love on her 18th birthday' on the cover. I opened the notebook and literally all the pages were filled with messages. It was like Jack's diary which he wrote things about me every day like how beautiful he thought I was and how lovely my clothes were and cute things like that. I looked at the date he first wrote it. It was on my 11th birthday.

"You've really loved me all this time?" I asked Jack.

"Yes, and I will always love you!" Jack held out his hand as we walked back to the car with all my gifts and it couldn't have been more perfect. Me and my best friend are in love and always will be.
