Famy (Pinn)

Finn's POV
- I am. I am serious.
I need to know. I NEED to.
- It's not important - she says.
- Answer the question. - I have never been more serious in my life.
- Y...yes.
My heart stop only to start beating faster. Piper. PIPER likes me.
- Is it because I'm with someone else now?
- That's what I thought at first but...
- How do you know it's not?
As Piper speaks, I cannot focus. I know she's just answering my question but I can't listen to what she says. I'm somehow happy but sad and furious.
- Stop, Piper, just stop.
She looks at me surprised.
- But you asked me how I kn...
- I don't want to hear another word. Just SHUT UP OK?
- But...
- How dare you like me now! I've been crushing on you for almost a whole year and now that I move on you suddenly like me!
- It's not like I can control that Finn, I just...
- Don't Piper... It's too late.
I can see her eyes filled with tears. I can't see her like this. How can I hate her but love her at the same time? All I want to do is kiss her right now. This is a mess. I am a complete disaster.
- I'm sorry Finn. - she mutters looking down. - I really am.
She turns around and walk away. And I finally let go something I didn't know I was holding back. My tears.

Piper's POV

I wish I had never liked Finn. I can't believe this is happening. I knew I couldn't have him as a boyfriend and now I lost him as my best friend too. I've got nothing. The only boy I really loved. He hates me. Clearly, love is not for me. First Josh and now Finn. But this time is worse. This time is my fault.
I get home and go straight to my bedroom. I look at my phone. No messages.
Why did he have to ask whether I like him if he didn't want to know? I swear I love him but I'm furious now. At him. At me. At the situation. At everything.
As I cry I turn my phone off and just get ready to go to bed. I don't want to be thinking of this. I need some rest now.
Maybe I could dream of a world where things are not complicated between us. Last year was one of the best. Our friendship was great, I had a blast spending time with him... this year is so different. What happened to us?
