"Bri..." Luke whispered and i sniffled, "what.." he frowned, "what's wrong? talk to me..." i bit my lip, "i cant..." he ran a hand through his hair, "why cant you? remember the promise we made forever ago? that we would never keep something from eachother."
"you dont get it Luke." i muttered and he hesitated and grabbed my hand, "what dont i get?" i cried, "i cant do this..." he frowned, "do what?" his voice cracked. "the friends with benefits thing..."
"okay...but why?" he asked me gently. i sobbed and he pulled me in his arms, "Bri...talk to me." he whispered as he rubbed my back. i shook my head crying, i gripped his shirt. flashes of him kissing that other girl ran through my mind and i pushed him away, "no...go back to the girl you were kissing." he frowned, "what girl? oh Bri..." a look of realization crossed his face.
i stood up and opened the door, "out." he frowned, "Bri....what the hell is going on?" i sobbed, "please Luke...leave." he shook his head and stood up, "im not leaving you, not when you are upset with me. what did i do?" i sobbed, "you...you dont fucking get it!" i yelled and he gripped his hair, "what dont i get Bri?" he yelled back and i sobbed and gripped the door for support, "you dont get how much that hurt me to see you kissing her."
"wait....did you fall for me?" he questioned me and i sobbed, "i cant do this..." i went to walk away but he grabbed, "Brinley. dont you dare walk away from me, Bri look at me please." his voice cracked and i shook my head, "i cant..."
"why?" he whispered and i sobbed, "because all i keep seeing is you kissing her." he frowned, "Bri....where is this coming from? you never had an issue with me kissing another girl before." i tossed up my arms, "yes i have! i kept it fucking hidden." he furrowed his brows, "kept what hidden? Bri what the hell are you talking about?"
"oh my god you are fucking stupid." i muttered and he scowled, "okay. i may not be the brightest person in the world when it comes to female emotions. but im not stupid when it comes to my best friend."
i sobbed, "i dont even know what i want anymore Luke. i cant...i dont know if even be friends with you..." he sobbed, "no...no Bri no...im not fucking losing you, not after 18 years of our friendship. 18 years Brinley! im not fucking losing you." i pushed him away, "Luke please...go."
"no." he grabbed me and pulled me into his arms, "tell me what is going on." he whispered and i fought against his hold. "im not letting go." he sternly said and i sobbed, "Luke let me go."
"no! im not losing my best fucking friend because i kissed a girl." he gasped, "oh Bri...you fell in love with me." i pushed him away, "doesnt matter anyway." i went to go back to the bed but he grabbed my wrist and pushed me against the wall, "it does matter." i stared at him in confusion.
"Luke let me go.." i whispered and he shook his head, "no. Brinley just stop being stubborn for one second and tell me the truth. did you fall in love with me?" he questioned me looking in my eyes and i saw something flash in his blue eyes that i couldnt decipher.
