peculiar love

confessing

《Emma's Pov》
After dinner, i sent Jake back and when i returned i saw Enoch right in front of the doors.
"Can i talk to you for awhile?" He asked nervously.
I nodded.
"Well erm Emma" he said while playing with his fingers.
"I like you." He said finally.
I was quite shocked even though we were quite close to each other but i thought he was nice to me because i knew him for a long time. I was very sure i did not like him and i felt really bad because Olive loves him alot which made me understood why she was angry at me she could probably tell.
"Im sorry. But Enoch i don't feel the same way." After i said that i went back to the house leaving him outside.

I saw it. I saw Enoch confessing to Emma through the windows of my room. Emma was shocked and he was nervous. Enoch. Nervous. No one could make him feel that way and no one ever would i got that. After Emma left, Enoch looked sad. He looked at the ground and stayed at the same place for quite awhile. Upon seeing that, my heart, it broke, again.
That night seemed extra long and extremely cold. I was afraid that i could not make it throught. But than again, i was hoping i would not. That is probably what he is feeling now afterall, he got rejected too.
I just realised that i could never forget him and i never want to. I love him but he does not belong to me. But what can i do? Im just Olive. And i will forever love him. I will not give up but i would try. I have to stop loving him and love myself.
But i think before i give up on him, i should tell him i love him. I mean i love him for so many years i think he deserves to know.

Knock knock
I rubbed my eyes and opened the doors surprised to see Olive. She was facing down with a frown. Looking at her sad made me feel bad i missed the old cheerful Olive. The one i should not have taken granted for and now i want her back.
"Yes?" I asked.
She looked at me right in the eye.
"I love you Enoch." She said softly yet clearly and hugged me tightly. She finally let go of me after awhile.
There was a moment of awkward silence. She began to sob. I looked at her and realised that it has been a long time since i looked at her closely and clearly. Her large green eyes, rosy cheeks and fiery red hair made her look beautiful. I wiped the tears off her cheeks.

"Tears don't suit you" i said and hugged her back. Then i let go.

"I know you like Emma and thats fine with me i just think you deserve to know that i like you." She said.

"I'm sorry Olive but i love Emma. You have been a great friend to me but we are only just friends." I said.
"I know. Can we just pretend this never happened?" She asked.
"I will." I answered.

《Olive's Pov》
I was actually hoping that after he got rejected by Emma he would stop liking her and maybe like me back since Im as close to him as Emma. But i guess I was wrong. It was over.

That night i cried. I cried my heart out i cried till i have no tears and energy left. All my love for Enoch was gone. I was jealous of Emma. Why does Enoch like her and not me? But who i am i to be jealous?
