I'm not in love with her.

Tommy cleared his throat, his feet dangling off the dock above a pond which was behind the house, in the pond was where several petal had floated above the water. He kicked at the water, hoping it would wash them away.

I'm not in love with her.

Tommy heaved a sigh, but his sigh cut off as he started coughing.

I'm not in love with her.

"Hey Tom!"

Tommy turned towards the voice, his eyes baggy and narrowed as he wiped his lips, catching a short redhead walking up to him with a grin on her face.

Tommy silently waved back, attempting to return the same wide grin she had gave him but all he could give her was a tiny grin, continuing to stare at her until she had plopped down to the spot next to him.

"How ya feeling?" She asked, "Are you still sick?" Tommy sighed and nodded, lying to himself and Ashlie.

"Y-Yeah.. I guess.." He spoke, his voice slightly raspy, he cleared his throat, "But it's nothing much." He shrugged, tipping his head towards Ashlie as he grinned.

"Well, nice to know you're fighting through!" Ashlie joked, chuckling slightly, "But.. I want to thank you." Her eyes narrowed slightly as she looked down at the pond, the petals Tommy had coughed up had floated away luckily.

"Huh?" Tommy hummed, sitting up straight as Ashlie had a shy grin on her face, "What for?" He asked, leaning towards Ashlie a bit as she had scratched the back of her head.

"I-I wanted to thank you for setting me up with Jon!" Ashlie said, smiling as Tommy's expression faltered as he blinked.

"O-Oh.. U-Uh, i-it was no big deal or anything!" He lied, "You're my friend, I'd do anything for you.." He smiled but a certain word kept wrapping around his head.

Friend.

I'm just a friend.

Ashlie had giggled as she leaned forward, suddenly pulling a Tommy into an embrace as she sighed in contentment.

"Thank you, Tommy.." Ashlie spoke, her voice was soft and almost enough to put Tommy in a trance, "I couldn't have done it without you." Tommy was in silence as he stared at Ashlie with wide eyes, his arms were lifted but he was hesitating to hug back. The male had heaved a sigh before he gently returned the embrace, closing his eyes and leaning his head against Ashlie's shoulders, he was surprised when she didn't pull back but he didn't mind. He wanted to stay like this forever, but he knew the moment had to pass.

I'm not in love with her.

"Y-You're.. Welcome--" Tommy was cut off as he had started to cough violently, causing Ashlie to gasp and pull back from the hug that Tommy wasn't ready to let go of and placed her hands on his shoulders.

"T-Tom are you okay?" She asked frantically as Tommy shook his head and waved off her hands, turning away and nodding.

"I-I'm fine.." He lied, his voice was raspy and Ashlie could hear Tommy struggling to speak.

"Tommy no you're not--"

"I said I'm fine!" Tommy had suddenly snapped, his fit of coughs slowly beginning to stop as he had sucked in a breath and cleared his throat once he heard Ashlie go to silence, "I'm alright, Ash, I promise.." He turned back towards her, his sleeve wiping his lips as his fist was curled.

Ashlie only stared at the man in worry as she slowly nodded, "A-Alright," Ashlie said, looking away, "j-just wanted to make sure.." She muttered, making Tommy feel a pang of regret and guilt in his chest.

"U-Uh.. So anyways, you're welcome." Tommy started speaking, nodding his head towards Ashlie, "Y-You're welcome for setting you up with Jon.." He smiled weakly as Ashlie looked at him and slowly nodded.

"Y-Yeah.." Ashlie sighed, "Hey I gotta go soon, Jon's going to meet with me at the park.." Ashlie told him, parting her red hair one way as Tommy hummed and nodded.

"Right, okay.." He spoke, licking his lips as his mouth went dry, "H-Have fun on your date, Ash.." Tommy said, giving Ashlie a small smile. Ashlie chuckled as she stood up on the dock and went behind Tommy, bending over and giving Tommy a quick hug of goodbye before she turned and began to leave.

"See ya later, Tom!" Ashlie exclaimed, Tommy could tell that she was already far away from how loud her voice had to be just so he could hear her.

"Yeah.." Tommy sighed, "See ya later, Ash.." Tommy looked at his curled fist before shaking his head and lifting the fist over the pond, opening it and letting the petals in his palm float down to the water.

I'm not in love with her. 

Tommy turned back, almost regretting it immediately as he saw Ashlie basically jump into Jon's arms.

I'm not in love with her.

Tommy started to cough once again, a flower emitting from his mouth.

I'm not in love with her.

Tommy sighed, closing his eyes as tears stung at them and pinching the bridge of his nose as he wished he just had the courage to at least confess to Ashlie.

I'm in love with her.
