Crush, Dont fall for me

CHAPTER 2

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and im here in front of his family in the dinning room eating Moms dishes only for Christmas. Leo's in front of me and it's weird that he kept on staring at me and helping me decorate the Christmas tree.

I would be happy to see him every Christmas, but today, I seem tired while my heart aches really painfully whenever I see him, never felt that way before.

After dinner, I went out and sat by the bench looking at the night sky. The door creak open and Leo went out sitting next to me.

I covered myself with my blanket since it's now a cold weather, I took a deep breath and exhaling nervously because his beside me.

"Tomorrow, I'll be confessing to you once again. I hope I could hear the same thing" I told him while staring up at the stars that is shining brightly "what if it's a different answer?" he ask and I look at him and smiled slightly "I know it won't be different" I say and just in time.

Mike came waving at me with a bright smile.

He went closer and gave me a gift "what are you doing here? " Leo ask looking confused "oh, I um I told her how I felt and I'm waiting for tomorrow about her confessing to you since it's almost midnight. I'll come back later" Mike told him and smiled at me.

Leo frowned, I don't know why, but in just a few minutes it will be Midnight and that would be my last confession. Got rejected again means I'll be with Mike because I couldn't take this pain no longer, I want to feel what love is.

12:00am

Now Leo is here beside me while fireworks boom up at the sky. Both of us are watching how pretty it is every Christmas and finally while watching, I said.

"I like you, I hope you feel the same,I've liked you since kindergarten" I say, like how I confessed to him in every confession.

I look at him and he was there staring at me, like always.

It's hurting my heart but finally it's over, finally I said it one last time.

Since it's the last confession, I lean closer to him and kissed his cheek I could actually feel my tear roll down and eventually touch his skin.

Still he stare at me without a word.

Mike came and I stood up going to him and reaching out for his hand, he grabbed my hand and smiled but Leo...

Suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me gently to him, he stood up and glared at Mike "let go, I haven't answered yet" Leo spoke and snatched my hand where I'm holding Mike's hand.

"You don't like her, so why stop us, just be happy for us" Mike say sounding annoyed by Leo.

"Do you think I want to give her to you? " Leo ask Mike, frowning and his voice got louder and angrier "do you even like her? " Mike ask

"Yes, I do, so forget making her yours" Leo shouted holding me close to him.

Why now, why does it have to be when I'm hurt. I clenched my chest because my heart aches very much, both of them noticed and got worried.

There I am, in front of two guys, crying out loud while everywhere around my body hurts badly, I'm tired.

I bend down crying and Leo bend down as well hugging me, I tried pushing him because his the reason why I'm like this, his the reason why my heart ache badly.

"What's wrong Jade?" Leo ask worried "I'm tired... Just say that you don't like me like always, please" I begged him showing my pain that has been hidden for the past 16 years.
