👓imagine: i'm just your best friend

should i make a part two?

Walking down the hallway, heading to the cafeteria makes your stomach churn seeing the only person you wanted to see.

Planning onto make a run for it but of course he already caught your attention.

"Y/N! You're here! Come sit with us." he slide his arms around your shoulders and headed to his table where his friends and girlfriend sat.

"Hey, Y/N." they all greeted, Joshua pushed you in one of the seat and sat beside his girlfriend.

"Are you going to the party tonight?" one of his friends asked, leaning beside you.

"I'm Matt, by the way." he introduced.

"I don't think, I'm busy with my school's and stuff."

"It's Friday night, Y/N." Joshua persuaded.

One of his friend smiles at you and leans, making you a bit flustered.

" It will be fun and besides I've never seen you come to my party before." with what he said he didn't noticed that he already put a pressure on you.

And to add on that, it would be shame hearing that it's his birthday.

"Come on, please? Just for me." shooting a look at your best friend who was busy being all cuddly with his girlfriend made you agree on going to the party.

👓👓👓

"Why are you even wearing glasses, Y/N?" Matt curiously asked while giving me some chips.

"W-Well because it's hard to use contacts." You stammer being intimidated by his good looking features.

"Don't be intimidate by my really gorgeous looks, Y/N. I'm just me." he jokes making you shook your head in laughter.

Your head turn around searching for your best friend, Joshua.

" So... You and Joshua?" he asked with a playful smile.

"W-What do you mean? We're best friends-"

"I know, Y/N." Matt nodded while looking down at his drink.

"But I'm not stupid enough not to see it."

You sighed in defeat, there's no point hiding to this stubborn and smart guy.

"You know the unrequited one? He doesn't know-"

" Then he's stupid."

👓👓👓

"Happy Birthday, by the way." Matt smile in thanks, while making your way to one of His rooms since it's a bit noisy.

"I know it's probably weird to ask if-"

" You always talk about her, Joshy!" a voice interrupts Matt, the two of you stops in front of his bedroom.

" Don't you think that every time we're together you always talk about-"

"It doesn't mean anything!" it was from Joshua, his words sting your chest.

You didn't know what came to Matt and still opened the door, revealing you and Matt.

"Uh... Sorry wrong room." you whispered.

"Y/N-I-" Joshua stutter, his girlfriend turn to Joshua and you but then shook her head.

"Joshua, who's it gonna be?" you already knew it already it was your cue to leave but your feet was glued on the floor.

Matt we're already regretting opening the door, because he didn't expect this would be the outcome.

"You can't make me choose-"

"Then, I guess you already have your answer." his girlfriend said and left the room, Joshua turn to you and Matt.

"I'm sorry about this dude. And I should go-"

"No. Stay Matt." holding his hand, interlocking it, Matt made a surprise look.

"Can I talk to you? Alone?"

"You can talk to me while Matt is with me."

"Why?" Joshua asked, frowning.

Strangely, a sudden fear came. Not even thinking it before that if you admit your feelings with him it could damage your friendship.

And you couldn't bear the thought of losing Joshua as your best friend.

"What we're you gonna talk about?" you insisted instead of answering his question.

It doesn't mean anything!

It doesn't mean anything!

It doesn't mean anything!

" I didn't mean it that way." Joshua said, looking down and remembering what he regretfully said.

"I know, Joshy." you tried your best to break a smile, feeling a Matt's hand tightens, worriedly.

" Don't be stupid Joshua. I know what you meant. I'm just your best friend, nothing more." it was as if something pressed his chest as Joshua heard you say it while turning on your hands interlocks with Matt made him realize something.

"I'm sorry about your girlfriend. You should probably go to her-"

"I know." there was something in his hard voice, but you let it go.

"We should probably go. Talk to you later." not wanting to be in that place you pulled Matt with you, exiting the bedroom.

"Did that just happened?" Matt fills the silence, his eyes widen realizing that you're tears were falling. Matt sighed and pulled your glasses off, making it easy for you to cry endlessly.
