a/n : i guess i can make a tewksbury imagine for you hoes because i love you .
________________________________
i strolled through the forest, occasionally picking flowers from off the ground. i admired flowers. when i was a kid, i used to pick the flower petals one by one while saying 'he loves me, he loves me not' while thinking about someone i adored.
" y/n ! " i heard the voice of my best friend, tewksbury, call out from his treehouse.
i looked up at him and smiled . he climbed down from above and came down to hug me. i hugged back, enjoying his warmth.
" someone is awfully excited, " i said as he blushed.
" well, i am spending the day with enola , " he shyly mumbled.
i pursed my lips and forced a smile, " thats great ! i hope you have fun. "
" thank you , " he smiled and hugged me once more, before saying , " i better get going now."
after he ran off, i sighed and continued walking. i had to admit, i missed hanging out with tewksbury . i hated that i was jealous of him and enola .
even worse, i couldnt hate enola for anything. she was everything i aspired to be, and she was so bold yet so sweet. who wouldnt love that ?
i had a crush on tewksbury ever since we were little , and i was planning on telling him . but before i could, he met enola . they clicked right when they met and tewksbury and i grew more and more distant.
i wasnt in the mood to do anything, so i returned home to get some rest. i hoped that tomorrow would be better.

the next morning, i woke up and got ready to go out again. i thought about what happened yesterday, and i just thought that maybe if i could ask tewksbury to hang out, him and i will be closer again.
" going out again ? " my guardian asked as we ate breakfast together.
" yes, " i nodded, taking another bite of my food.
" what for ? "
" im gonna ask tewksbury to hang out today, " i said. they looked at me deceptively . my guardian knew what was going on between tewksbury and i , and they felt pity that i kept on trying to earn his attention again.
after i was done eating, i said goodbye to my guardian, took my coat and left.
i took a carriage to basilwether, and once i got there i knocked on the door . who answered was his mom, who smiled at me brightly, " hi y/n ! i havent seen you in a while . "
i smiled back and shifted my feet, then politely asked, " is tewksbury here ? "
" actually no , " she paused and tapped her chin, " hes out with ... my apologies, i cant remember her name . "
before she could figure it out, i responded knowing exactly who it was , " enola, her name is enola. "
" oh yes ! " she nodded , " well since hes not here would you like to come in ? "
" no thank you , i think ill just take a walk for a while, " i politely declined . she nodded in understanding as i turned away and walked into the forest.
tears fell from my eyes as i walked further into the forest. everyday. everyday they were spending time together as if hes totally forgotten about me. should i even consider him as my best friend anymore ?
i hated that i felt this way about him. i shouldve never gotten this attached, because i always end up being broken in the end.
i was far enough in the forest when i broke down into sobs as i sat against a tree with my knees up to my chest.
twenty minutes after my sob session, i finally calmed down. i looked around, and picked a flower up from off the ground.
i began whispering to myself as i plucked every flower petal off, while saying, " he loves me, he loves me not . "
last petal i picked , and i whispered , " he loves me. "
i scoffed and rolled my eyes , saying to no one in particular, " no he doesnt. he completely forgot about me. "
" who did ? " a voice from behind me asked . i turned around to see the boy i didnt want to see of all moments.
tewksbury.
i didnt respond, and continued picking flowers up from the ground as he sat beside me. we sat in silence, only hearing the sounds of birds chirping and leaves rustling.
he must've noticed the tear stains on my cheeks when he asked in concern, " y/n ? are you okay ? "
i rolled my eyes and responded sarcastically, " yes lord tewksbury , marquess of basilwether. im splendid. "
" please tell me whats wrong ! " he begged when i got up and started walking away.
i mustered up the courage to turn around and face him , " you know whats wrong ?! ever since you met enola ive felt like i was invisible ! you never talk to me anymore . "
before he could respond i added on , letting out the thoughts that ive bottled up for months, " and even worse is that i like you ! i hate that i have to see you walk past me and to enola ! im so sick of it tewksbury, you drive me crazy!"
i looked down and felt the tears brimming along my eyes , and my vision starting to get blurry as i felt that aching feeling in my heart again.
when my energy was all out i quietly mumbled, " even if you dont like me the way i do for you, i just want my best friend back. "
i felt more and more tear drops fall down my face. after a few seconds , i felt him embrace me tightly . i could tell he was crying himself.
" im so sorry y/n , " he choked out , " please believe me. i like you as well. "
i refused to look at him again , waiting for him to explain himself.
" months ago, i noticed that i fancied you so much. i wanted to distance myself because i didnt want to ruin our friendship, " he continued, " enola had kept me sane while i was so crazy about you. she told me to tell you sooner, which is the advice i shouldve took . because now, i see that ive upset you. "
" well you did upset me , " i teased as he chuckled lightly.
i let go of him, " i forgive you. "
he laughed and kissed my forehead, then brought me into another embrace .
we didnt notice, but from afar, enola smiled like a proud mother.
