twisted in two

Chapter 2

"Hey Harry." i saw him at sitting at a table in the corner.

"Hi. Please sit down."

"What did you want to tell me?" I asked him.

"I got my letter back!"

"OMG!! That's great."

"Yeah!! but the important part of this is that because of you, I got into Miami. all our basketball playing sessions payed off. You taught my way there. So thank you. for everything you have taught me over the years. You're the greatest friend ever." Harry said. All of a sudden, he did the unexpected. He leaned over and gave me a kiss on the lips. Just a quick peck. I was so confused.

"Sorry Lake. I-"He started to say but I walked out of there quicker than he could finish his sentence. I have no idea what happened in there but I needed to leave so I could think.

Riiingggg. Riiinggg.

"Hello?"

"Hi." It was Harry.

"Why are you calling me?"

"To talk about what happened earlier."

"I don't have to time to talk about this right now." I told him. I didn't want to talk about it, I was mad at him.

"Don't talk. Just listen." I listened to him explain himself.

"I know that we're best friends. You're like a sister to me, but for all the years of our friendship, I've been hiding something really important from you. I'm in love with you. I have been ever since we started being friends. The feelings grew every time that we started getting closer. When we started hanging out constantly, I really didn't know what to do. I admit that I was afraid to be hanging out with you because I didn't want to say the wrong thing. it's been hard keeping this from you for so long. I love you like a sister and I'm sorry for what happened." the only thoughts in my head were Oh my god. My best friend JUST admitted he's in love with me. What was I supposed to say?

"I don't know what to say. Really."

"I'm sorry I've been keeping this for so long and for kissing you today. I just couldn't help myself. I know you're mad about today."

"Harry, I'm not mad. I was just confused and shocked. I just needed to think and take it all in."

"Are we still best friends?"

"You know that we always will be. It's just going to be different now knowing how you feel about me. idk if I'm ever going to feel like we're just best friends now."

"Oh. I just had to tell you now before we both left."

"I'm glad you did though. Can you come over?"

"Sure. I'll be there soon."

"bye." While waiting for Harry to come over, I texted Niall: Something very weird just happened. Can't talk about it yet. Love you. xo

I was curious what Niall would think when I did tell him. I know that he and Harry are close but would he change his opinion of him all because of our friendship and his feelings?
