Eddie Brock. My best friend, I've known Eddie ever since first day or middle school I remember very distinctly that he wore a green shirt with a blue dinosaur and these awful denim shorts. I smile to myself thinking Eddie trying to wear something like that, his 'bad boy' look now is completely different from then.
"Max?" My head snapped up from my hands and looked to see Eddie staring at me, I furrowed my eye brows together at him noticing Annie wasn't next to him like she was minutes ago.
"Sorry, where's Annie?" Eddies sighed and looked down. Eddie has been my best friend for a while, when we were in our senior year he started dating Annie, I knew she made her happy at first but now I didn't know why they were still together.
"She.. left." He paused for a moment and I immediately knew the problem. Me.
"I told you I shouldn't of come here, Ed." I sigh and grab my glass and take the last sip of it. Annie has always hated me, she probably could sense my feelings for Eddie, how could blame me though? I've known Eddie for the longest time and he's not too bad on the eyes so it was inevitable that I would catch feelings for him.
"It's not your fault, Annie just.." he paused looking for the right words to say.
"Hates me." I finish for him and he lets out a breathe. "Don't try to hide it Ed she always has. It's fine we don't need to hang out that often if is bothers Annie." Eddie shakes his head and leans in closer to me across the table of our booth.
"No I don't wanna lose my best friend because Annie doesn't like you." I knew Eddie didn't want to make the choice between us, so I frequently pushed him to let go of me, if you love something set it free.
"She's your fiancé Eddie I'm pretty sure she overrules me." When it comes to Eddie it never black and white, he loves Annie but doesn't want to lose me, I hate it, it gives me a false hope that maybe one day Eddie will run to me and confess a love I knew deep down he didn't have for me. Of course I knew he loved me but he loved Annie more and that's something I had to live with since they started dating.
"Max I don't want to lose you." I reach over to him and give his hand a squeeze.
"Ed I love you." More than you could ever know. "But Annie is your future, happy wife happy life right? I don't wanna lose you either Ed but you gotta figure out if you love Annie enough to leave me in the past." I give his hands a final squeeze quickly let go and grab my things then slid out of the booth.
Ed's stays in the booth staring where I once sat for a few seconds then follows my lead and stand up with me.
"Just give me a call and tell me what you want for you and Annie." I smile despite the ache in my throat. "Bye Eddie." I give him a quick kiss on the cheek and walk out of the restaurant.
