I probably looked like an idiot because I have no idea how long I starred at him with wide eyes and my jaw practically touching the floor. Why do boys have to be so freaking confusing ?! First he told me he just wanted to be friends and now he's telling me that he wants to be with me. I officially hate high school.

"Brian, I don't know what to say." I honestly didn't. I didn't feel the same way anymore. He put me in tough position. If I say yes, I'll make him happy but I would feel weird every time I'm around him and if I say no, he might never talk to me again but I really do love having him as a friend. I hate this.

"I thought you liked me, Miranda. I thought you wanted to be with me." He really wasn't making it any easier for me.

"I did, but I clearly remember you telling me that you just wanted to be friends and I tried so hard to get to where I am now with you. Look Brian, I don't want you to get hurt by me saying no -"

"So it's a yes?" He cut me off, the biggest smile in his face.

"You didn't let me finish. I don't want to hurt you by saying no, but I don't want to hurt myself by saying yes. I really do think that we are better off being friends. That's what we are, we're good friends and I like that I can be myself around you and you with me and I don't want that to change. I would hate myself if we ended things badly and our friendship dies along with out relationship. So, I'm sorry but I have to say no. I won't get mad if you want to scream at me right now."

"I don't want to scream at you. I'm kind of upset that you said no, but you have your reasons and they're pretty logical. I'm sorry that I put you in this position. It's just that I thought you still liked me." The depression was clear in his voice. I couldn't bring myself to look at him though. I just starred at the floor.

"I do like you Brian, just not in the same way that you like me. I used to feel the same, but then you told me you just wanted to be friends and yeah, it hurt a little, but it happened." I looked up at him, "I started treating you like a friend and soon enough you became one of my best friends. Our friendship means a lot to me and I don't want to risk it."

"I understand" he said, suddenly sounding a lot more in control, "you need more time to think about it."

"Wait, what? No that's not what I-"

He cut me off

"It's cool, I can wait. Just don't make me wait too long." After saying the last sentence, he winked at me and left, leaving me standing there completely confused and terrified.

What do I do now?

Sorry for not updating in months, I did a lot over summer and I was constantly busy. I know this chapter is short and terribly written but I felt writing today so I did. Thoughts on it ?
