Book of Thoughts

Almost...

My P.O.V
We've been told a lot of times, that we look a couple yet we're not.

Walking together under the rain protected by a small umbrella, there on the streets we talk casually.
Many of our friends at the back started to tease us for being 'sweet'.
We are just and will always be— best friends nothing more nothing less or so I thought.
It is just normal for us to be close in distance and to share a lot of memories together.
A couple? No we're just really best of friends. That's what we used to say.

I have feelings for him.
It started way back 7th grade?
Yeah, 7th grade the time when I realized that I have feelings for him but I only accepted the feeling by 8th grade.
I was too scared of the fact of loving another, afraid to get hurt, afraid to hurt.
He's cold to some and kind to some. He's talented and very funny though annoying.

His P.O.V
I like her way back 5th or 6th grade.
I think it was 6th grade.
I don't know what I like about her but I like her.

I remember my first confession to her was on 6th grade.
I told her that I like her more than a best friend, I was nervous like hell but her reaction cleared it all. She just smiled and said "Haha it's ok".
I thought our friendship would go down hill, instead it strengthened it more.

7th grade, I confessed once again yet still no luck of getting her heart. I guess we're just meant to be best friends. 9th grade, I did the same and still no luck.
It's been 3 years since my first confession, I've been waiting none stop but I have no luck at all. We're now at college and I've been trying my best to make her fall for me.

-5 years later-
I saw him happily smiling and his eyes glistening as he stood in the altar.
Joy was filling the whole church, everyone had a big smile plastered on their faces.
I saw him tearing up as the doors open to welcome his bride.
Tears slowly fall down his cheeks leaving them stained as he witness the woman in a white gown walking down the aisle.
His awaited moment has arrived, the day that he will get married to the woman he loves.
As the priest ends the ceremony with a "You many now kiss the bride". I felt my heart shatter. Everyone clapped after the kiss, everyone was smiling and I was there clapping with a sad smile present on my face while my stubborn tears threatens to fall.

I remembered the time I confessed to him under that small umbrella, under the drizzling sky.

Flashback~

My P.O.V
As we were walking side by side under the drizzling sky. I gathered all of the courage in me. I held him by his arm, he stopped and looked at me. I let out a deep and heavy sigh. Looking up to his eyes making straight eye contact, I... confessed to him.

"I like you" I said with a shy smile following.

"I liked you too" He said.

My heart broke into pieces, I can't do anything, I can't blame him.
I just smiled sadly and said " It's okay, at least now I know".
We continued walking, tears were threatening to fall anytime but I can't cry now, not now. I wiped some of the tears that escaped a little.
'I wished I accepted my feelings earlier, we could've been together' I thought.

Flashback ends~

Every time we were out in public to celebrate our friendship and people will always come up to us telling "You look like a good couple" we would laugh and it confuses them as always, leading them to ask "What's so funny are you not a couple?" And our answer will always be "Almost."
