"mom can i talk to you about something?" i asked as i walked into the living room.

"sure sweetie. what's up?" she asked turning to see me.

"um, how did you tell dad that you liked him?" i asked with hesitation in my voice.

"how did i, hm." she began. "well after we hung out for a while i knew i had feelings for him so i knew if i never told him, he would never know. how come?"

"it's just, you know corbyn? obviously, but i am ninety ninety percent sure that i have f-feelings for him..." i managed to say. my moms face went from concerned, to a smile.

"finally you admitted it! i was wondering how long it would take you." she cheered. i was taken aback a bit by her words.

"y-you knew?" i gasped. she nodded her head.

"yeah a text from him came in on your phone when you were in the shower the other day and i looked at it. his contact name is corbyn with heart eyes. plus the way you two act around each other, you'd think you were dating already!" she explained. i felt my cheeks heating up from her last sentence.

"dating? no no no he wouldn't like me like that. i mean ashley is convinced he does but me, no way." i rambled. my mom raised her eyebrow at me.

"ella, have you seen the way he looks at you? he totally likes you." she insisted. i bit my lip and looked out the window.

"you really think so? it's just, i don't see it. i mean, i want to tell him mom i want him to know that i love him." i sighed.

"listen, i want you to promise me something. from now to the future, if love someone tell them. even if you think it's going to make a problem, end a friendship, tell them. if you don't they'll never know." she said looking into my green, troubled, eyes.

"mom, i-i want to tell him. i really do, b-but it's hard. saying i love you isn't always easy. how did you tell dad?" i said with my voice cracking, about to cry of frustration.

"honey, i knew it was the right time. you'll know when it's the right time, you'll feel it promise." she said calmly.

"but i want him to know now. or at least before christmas." i whined.

"then tell him. you can do it, i believe in you ella." she reassured me. i nodded my head.

"i will, i will soon at least." i said. with that i stood up from the couch and ran up the stairs to my room. i grabbed my phone and unlocked it, opening messages. i clicked on corbyns name and took a deep breath before beginning to type.

i groaned at myself. i was so close.

"god ella! what is wrong with you?" i whispered yelled at myself. a tear of anger and frustration ran down my right cheek. "christmas. we're hanging out, i'll tell him then. if i don't chicken out."
