*I Love You.~ Amari Bailey*

amari's POV

how do you go about telling someone you love them .. but they don't want to be loved ? i mean like, do you tell them straight up, or do you-

y/n: "yo, did you hear me ?" she asks breaking me out of my thoughts.

me: "sorry, not gon lie, i didn't. whatchu say ?"

y/n: "i said your mom told me to tell you she's going out."

me: "oh yea, right."

y/n: "hey .. what's wrong ?" she asks sitting next to me.

me: "nothing, just tired."

y/n: "mari .. i've known you for how long ? oh yea, you're whole damn life. so why do you insist on trying to lie to me knowing i can see righttttt through you ?"

me: "i just got some shit on my mind, that's all."

y/n: "okay, spill." gets up and sits on the chair in front of me "i'm all earsss."

me: sighs "how do you know when you love someone ? or like in love ?"

y/n: "woahhh, mari ? in love ? thought i'd never see it." laughs eating a handful of chips.

me: "c'mon y/n, i'm for real."

y/n: "hm, well, i can't really answer that for you if i'm being honest. it really depends on you. people love differently, ya feel me ?"

me: "mmh .. so how would you go about actually telling the person."

y/n: "you just gotta say it. no matter the outcome, it's really just about putting yourself out there." laughs "amari who tf are you talking about, who is the girl ? friend of ours, do i kn-"

me: "i love you."

y/n: "awww, i love you too honey, you know this."

me: "no, y/n ... i love you. in love with you if i'm being honest."

y/n: "wait- huh ? where is this coming from ?"

me: "the heart. sounds corny" chuckles "but it's true. i've been falling for you since the beginning of this year. i didn't see you as just a bestfriend anymore, the way you show how much you care for me, and love me. you're always there for me, and that's something i've never even felt from any of my past girlfriends. i tried to shake it off, thinking maybe it was just a phase ... but as time went on, i came to the realization that i really fucking love you, y/n."

y/n: tearing up "mari .. you can't.."

me: "i can't what ?"

y/n: "love me .. you can't. all i'm going to do is waste your time, you know how damaged i am. i can't go through this shit again."

me: "y/n i know everything that you've been through, do you really think i would put you through some shit like that ? i know how damaged you are, i know this, but that doesn't change the fact that i wanna be with you."

y/n: gets up "mari, i- i can't, i really can't .. i gotta go, i'll see you later." walks out the door.

y/n's POV

why, just whyyy me. i told myself not to fall for him, i fucking knew something like this was gonna happen. of COURSE i love amari, and yes i have fallen for him, i just have a good way of hiding it, anddd convincing myself.

suddenly my thoughts get interrupted by an incoming call:

me: "what do you want, joshua ?"

josh: "sheesh, can you say hostility ?" rolls his eyes.

me: "ughh, what do you wanttt ?"

josh: "where are you ?"

me: "sitting in my car, why ?"

josh: "in front of amari's house ?" smirks

me: "what- how do you know that !"

josh: "i was just on the phone with him. you asshat, why the hell did you do that ?"

me: "listen, now is not the time for you to play 'big brother josh' okay ?"

josh: "all i'm saying issssss, i know you, and i know him, you guys belong together, we all see it, the hell. you know how many times people have asked if you two were dating, yea, exactly, you guys literally act like it. you like ole boy, just admit it, stop holding out on shit because you're scared. GET OVER IT. go and make shit right, now." and with that, he hangs up.

me: "did this nigga just- okay."

he's right, he's right, he's right. i do want him, and i refuse to let previous ain't shit ass niggas, stop me from what could possibly be the best thing that ever happens to me. if i end up getting heartbroken .. so what. fuck it, i'm going for it.

i get out of the car going up to his door and ringing his doorbell.

amari: hm, wassu-

y/n: kisses him "listen, you're not the only one who's fallen in love, okay ? although i'm scared ... i'm not gonna lie and say i haven't fallen for you either, because i have. i want to be with you. i love you, mari."
