Short Story #666

(Look, I have no idea ._. I really need to stop using this book for writing short stories. But well, I somehow like writing sad, unrequited love stories so, that's what I'm doing!)

I am so in joy for her, she got a boyfriend that makes her happy and he treats her well. I never seen her this happy before and I'm glad because, she deserves it.

He's pretty nice actually and mature for his age. He started to hang out around our group of friends and he's pretty cool actually.

The thing is, I noticed him before and I found him kinda cute. Of course, it didn't mean anything.

..But, he's actually really cool to hang around. Since my best friend got a boyfriend, I didn't want to give him a free pass so I decided to give him a hard time. Not that bad though.

I annoyed him and was mean to him but, he was still nice to me. And well, we had our moments. He would also annoy me back and get revenge, which I found hilarious and got him back, since he couldn't take revenge on me.

He and I shared a sense of humor and I really, really liked hearing him laugh and just seeing his smile. Maybe he'll be my brother in law, my best friend is like my sister so he'll pretty much be my brother in law. Might as well get used to him.

There was no reason for them to break up. They seemed so happy together and he did seem to sincerely love her, which is why I haven't said anything. He treats her well.

Everyday, I would be excited to see him though.

My heart rate would speed up whenever I saw him and I loved seeing him smile whenever we greeted each other with weird ass names or him calling out to me.

He even got glad when he thought I would be in the same class as him, hoping he wouldn't be alone. I wasn't in his class but, the thought that he was glad I would be in one of his classes, made me happy.

Whenever I see them together though,

Now it pains me. Of course, I haven't told her or him anything. I support their relationship and I find them perfect for each other. Him and me, well, we're like siblings. Over time we started to hang out and we were best friends.

..The thing is though,

I realized maybe I had feelings for this stupid guy. Actually, he's not even stupid, he's a genius..

Every insult I gave to him, I know it wasn't true.

"C'mon, he's not a bad boyfriend nor is he a bad person!"

My friend would try to convince me her boyfriend isn't bad. She knew I was joking (kind of) but, she did try to convince me.

She's right in every way. He's..

Perfect.

I really wish I haven't fallen for him though because, she's happy with him and, he loves her dearly. He talks about her at least once whenever we hang out.

"You know, she's really beautiful."

"I love her so much and I'm such a lucky guy.."

"Oh my god she looked so adorable-"

It hurt.

Like hell haha..

But I never spoke a word to her or him. I kept it to myself, and only myself. If I felt like crying whenever I saw them, I did that when I was in a place where I knew no one would be around. Yeah, it made me cry a lot thinking about him. My heart aches so much and my head hurt, it was crazy how much I liked that guy.

But I can't ever like him that way, it just isn't right at all! He's with her and I'm happy for her, I really am.

I just wish I never liked him this way..

It hurts so much I can't explain it but, as long as she's happy, I'm not saying a word.

But one day, he caught me crying in my room. My mom let him in the house and I didn't even hear his voice or him knocking at my door. He saw me, in my bed, curled up in a ball and crying into my pillow.

I looked like a mess.

When I saw him there in my room, I wanted to break down even more. I couldn't stand seeing him, it pained me so much.

But when he came running over to me with a worried expression and..

An embrace he gave me and didn't let me go until I stopped crying...

It just gave me false hope. It made me cry more and my heart ached more.

But I gave in and wrapped my arms around him and cried into his chest, as he let me. He told her what happened and she came running to me, worried afterwards.

But..

All I could see was then holding hands, making cutesy faces at each other and kissing, when we were hanging out at his place. I was getting some snacks and they didn't see me when they did that.

But all I did was take huge breaths, hold in the tears that were daring to fall down and just put on an annoyed face and be in disgust for seeing them being so lovey dovey to each other.

So,

Hey [Xxxxx]

I love you..

But I can't ever tell you that, ever.
