Desperate Love (A.C and S.M)

when you're ready for me

alessia p.o.v

when i was coming home from Liv's house the next day, I ran into Aaliyah. Aaliyah grinned.

aaliyah: "hey!"

I smiled.

alessia: "hey."

aaliyah: "wow, long time no see! how have you been?"

alessia: "I've been doing good."

aaliyah: "I heard you and Shawn had a fight the other day."

alessia: "yea..i don't want to talk about it.."

aaliyah: "oh sorry to bring it up, it's just so strange that u guys fought because u guys were close."

alessia: "i know. wait, how did u know we got into a fight?"

aaliyah: "i was with shawn when he headed to cafe."

alessia: "oh i didn't see you."

aaliyah: "yea i was being a little sneaky, sorry."

alessia: "okay then."

aaliyah: "i feel sorry that u guys fought though."

alessia: "you don't have to be sorry for us."

aaliyah: "i like you guys friendship."

alessia: "oh ha thanks."

after hearing her say that she liked our friendship, my mood changed. i was now starting to worry about shawn but i was trying not to because he was no longer my concern anymore since he has his "girlfriend".

alessia: "how has shawn been?"

aaliyah: "oh, he has been really upset."

alessia: "really?"

aaliyah: "yea, he says he misses u and he really wants u and him to be close best friends again like i'm even joking, he actually cares."

alessia: "seriously?"

aaliyah: "yea."

and all this time i thought he didn't care but i guess i was wrong.

alessia: "i miss him too, to be honest."

aaliyah: "you do?"

alessia: "yea, i somehow find it hard to be without him because he's like the right person to put a smile on my face but when he's not here, i have nobody. i'm just all by myself."

i started to feel like i wanted to cry. aaliyah started to feel bad for me.

aaliyah: "you're not all by yourself..."

i looked at her.

aaliyah: "i'm still here."

alessia: "thanks, but it's not the same.."

aaliyah: "this might seem like a dumb question to ask but..."

alessia: "what?"

aaliyah: "why do u really care about shawn so much?"

alessia: "well because he's the best guy i've ever met, he's the person that puts a smile on my face, and he's careful when he's with me, and he's really sweet and really cute. when i first became friends with him, he was like a brother to me. i know i already have a brother, but he's like my second brother. he's been there for me since the first day and has never left my sight. he's the right person that i could share secrets with. without him, i feel like i can't survive. if anything happened to him, i would lose myself."

aaliyah: "wow that sounded so nice.."

alessia: "i know, he's been doing lots of good things for me.."

aaliyah: "do u like him?"

if i said no to that question, that'll make my situation worse. i had to say the truth.

alessia: "yes."

aaliyah: "really?"

alessia: "yes, i do have feelings for him."

aaliyah: "i knew that was why you got upset when u discovered shawn had a girlfriend."

alessia: "how did u know i was upset?"

aaliyah: "he told me."

i sighed.

alessia: "i just feel so terrible.."

aaliyah: "he told me not to tell u but i'ma say it because i want what's best for shawn and i don't want there to be anymore drama."

alessia: "what didn't he want u to tell me?"

aaliyah: "he has feelings for u too."

alessia: "are u joking?"

aaliyah: "nope, he's been saying he liked u the entire time. he says you're adorable and beautiful.

alessia: "aww really, what else did he say?"

aaliyah: "he says that he wishes you were his girlfriend instead of camila, he says that you have a cute smile and he thinks you're unique and he likes your personality. he thinks you're the sweetest, most lovely, the most beautiful, and the most amazing girl that he's ever met. he really wants to be with u and these past days, he's been trying to avoid camila and was trying to talk to u but he's scared that you might block him."

alessia: "and all this time i was acting so disrespectful, now i feel terrible."

aaliyah: "don't feel bad, you didn't know. i just don't know why he would date camila if he actually liked you."

alessia: "i need to talk to him."

aaliyah: "i don't know if it'll be a good time to do that."

alessia: "why?"

aaliyah: "he's busy, so you are gonna have to ask him to meet somewhere so u guys could talk."

alessia: "i hope he accepts because i'm hurting right now because of the way i've been acting and for not being honest with him."

aaliyah: "he wasn't being honest with u either so i'm pretty sure he'll forgive u and apologize too."

alessia: "i hope so."

she looked at her phone and then placed it back.

aaliyah: "i gotta run, i have to go meet with my boyfriend in a couple of minutes."

alessia: "wow you have a boyfriend? i didn't know that."

aaliyah: "yea i do, he kind of looks like shawn."

i laughed.

alessia: "well have fun."

aaliyah: "thank u and hey, it was nice running into u."

alessia: "yea, you too."

aaliyah: "hope everything goes well with u and shawn."

alessia: "thank u."

aaliyah: "see ya later."

alessia: "bye."

she smiled as if she started leaving. i took a deep breath and headed back home. i had to something i needed to fix.
