Falling Off Cloud Nine

Chapter 4 ~ Choices

We were only friends for only 3 years, and I just found out that he has been waiting to kiss me. What the fuck? I've been wanted to kiss him too, but it was wrong. He was my friend, would that ruin us? Should I date him or leave us at friends? I know he would be heartbroken if I friendzoned him.

He tried to pull me in but I backed away.

"Sorry...I dont what I was doing..." said Aaron with embarrasment in his voice.

my heart just sunk to my stomach.

i cant believe everything i've ever wanted for the past three years...i just rejected.

IM SO STUPID! ugh, i wanted to SCREAM.

as i was thinking to myself i saw Aaron get up and start to walk out the door.

is this it? or am i going to stop and make sure we keep our strong relationship?

no

i can't give up now...

but it was too late.

Aaron was already driving away...

i slammed my door and put my face into my pillow and screamed.

should i text him? no, he's driving and besides that would make the situation even more awkward.

i just walked to the kitchen and grabbed a coca cola while i quickly brushed my hands through my hair.

i took a sip from my drink when i heard my phone go off.

it was a text from Aaron..huh

Aaron: I'm really sorry about what i did back there, i wasn't thinking. i just really like you and i thought you liked me too but i guess i was wrong. anyways, please text back.

what should i say? should i tell him i like him back? i put my drink on the table and started to text back.

Me: yeah, it's okay. i don't know why i rejected you. i really like you and i guess i was just nervous.

Aaron: you like me too?? wow, that's grsjjjdjak

what the hell is he trying to say?

i

is

confused

Me: what?

no reply.

a few hours later i got a call from Aaron's mom. what is she calling me for?

Me: Hello?

Aaron's mom: Lauren..i dont know an easy way to tell you this but Aaron has been in a car crash and he is still unconscious.

i can tell she was about to break into sobs. i was about to do the same.

3 years just passed through my head. all the times we hung out, laughed, ate, talked, and it's all leading up to today, the day he tried to kiss me but i rejected him.

YOURE SUCH AN IDIOT LAUREN.

I realized i was still in a call with Aaron's mom when i heard her break into tears.

Aaron's mom: i'm going to go, can you please come to the hospital as soon as possible ? he's your best friend and i'll feel like you can comfort him more then i can even though he is unconscious.

Me: sure, i'll be there in 10 minutes.

and i hung up the phone.
