There are a thousand ways to express love to someone.
And this story possesses one.

Friendships are one of life's greatest joys. Finding someone we can share our heart with — someone who understands and accepts us just the way we are is priceless. When we can have a deep friendship with someone from the opposite sex, it is a tremendous gift. There is so much to learn and respect about both genders. But at times these opposite-sex friendships can also be a great challenge. One of the most exciting, but frightening, barriers a friendship faces is when one person falls in love with their best friend of the opposite sex. The feelings are can be intense, and the fear of revealing them can be paralyzing.

"Ashtonn Montenegro is everything you'd want in a boyfriend.
He's caring, responsible, childish at times but romantic ohhhh.. and he's drool-worthy gorgeous.
It's just a shame that he's my best friend, not my boyfriend. But let me clear something, I had never been in love with this man."
Our friendship exists for a very long time, and because of that we are able to share many memories together,
We are fun of writing letters every Valentine's Day, honestly, this is our eleventh time writing letters about my ideal husband and his ideal wife, afterwards, we insert it inside a bottle and bury it underground. It serves as a tradition in our friendship.
Dancing has been my passion since I was a kid and I think I was able to influence him with my interest in dancing.
And we have this best night on our lives when we are able to dance in our prom but here in our university, we call it the Cupid's Ball. I'm just starting to enjoy the music when he suddenly told me that he's tired and I hate the thought that he easily gets tired of dancing even if we just stood there for only a couple of minutes. But whenever he sees my irritated face he just can't resist, so he continues to dance with me even until midnight.

"Ashtonn and I have been friends from the very beginning, and we used to tell each other everything we know about one another. What we feel, what we see and even the smallest secret that we keep, but maybe there are things that are better left unsaid.
One of the secrets that he told me was when he was recently diagnosed with aCoronary Artery Diseasethis is caused by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries that leads to a restriction of blood flow to the heart.
That makes me realize why Ashtonn easily gets tired and find it hard to breathe. But at the same time I got confused especially during our prom he still continues to dance with me knowing that he has this severe condition.
The doctor told his mother(Hilda) that Ashtonn's disease was still curable. But it will take much time and a lot of money for every surgery. Her mother still decided to make him undergo one, but he doesn't want to take the medication and instead, he told his Mom that he just wants to enjoy the rest of his life with his family and friends.
