There was this girl-Amara. My best friend for at least five years. The one who truly knew me, who understood me in ways no one else ever could.
Whenever I felt like my world was falling apart, I always ran to her. Just like now.
She held me close, her arms wrapped around me in a comforting embrace. "Don't worry, it's alright. Everyone goes through that. I'm here for you," she said, her voice soft, reassuring. She thought I was crying over my last relationship, that I was heartbroken over another failed love.
But she was wrong.
It wasn't them I was crying about. It never was.
Because the person I love is her.
I wanted to tell her-desperately. I wanted to look into her eyes and say that she was the reason I could never love anyone else, that no matter how hard I tried, my heart would always find its way back to her.
But I couldn't.
Because losing her would destroy me.
So instead, I stayed in her arms, letting myself have this moment, even if it was all I could ever have. I closed my eyes, breathing in the scent of her shampoo, feeling the warmth of her embrace. This-this-was all I wanted.
I looked up at her, wondering... would she ever see me the way I see her?
Or was I destined to love her in silence forever?

"Why were you with her at a party?" Amara asked anger coming off of her as she started into my being. A shiver went down my spine. I've never seen her this mad. Never. "ANSWER ME!" She yelled making me jump a bit before my own anger came out. "Why would YOU wanna know? It's NONE of YOUR business!" I yelled back as both of our anger now filled the room. "It IS my business, wanna know why?" She asked walking towards me at a slow pace until we were inches apart leaning into my neck. "Because your mine." She whispered into my ear. *********************** The popular, the nobodies, and the nerds.

We grew close, yet we were strangers at the same time. You were my shoulder to cry on even though you were rarely there physically. I told you my secrets, but I was so caught up in the thought of finally having someone there for me that I never realized the fact that you never told me yours. When we first met we were inseparable.

I tried to stay away, I tried to keep my distance, but I was clouded by the fact that I wanted- needed a friend. The walls I spent so long building up, you knocked them down so easily, that it looked almost effortless. I fooled myself into thinking that you would always be there, that you were different from everyone else, that you wouldn't leave like them, that you wouldn't drop me like I was nothing. Foolish girl. We grew closer, I got attached and somewhere along the way, I fell in love. You never loved me the way you loved her, did you? Was I just a broken toy you wished to fix?

Why was this our falling out? Please tell me. What was it, the words you continue to whisper to me before I close my eyes?Complete
Desire (Completed)
"If you were really my best friend, you'd see that you were the only person I've ever wanted to be with. You've been dating everyone else while I'm just sitting around waiting for you to open your damn eyes!" I yelled at him as tears streamed down my cheeks. He looked at me with wide eyes, clearly confused. He then held a sympathetic look on his face when he saw how passionate I was about this entire situation. I can't believe he didn't realize all these years that he was the one I wanted to be with all along. "How was I supposed to know Riley? You didn't tell me shit!" He yelled back at me but still held his same sympathetic look. I shook my head at him, wiping my face as I backed away from him, stepping into a pile of snow in the process. There was already snow on ground but more snow had just started to fall from the sky. "Look, I have to go. My mom wants me home for dinner." I said turning on my heels and walking away towards my house. I didn't even bother looking back but I knew he was still standing there. I wondered if he'd run after me or if he'd sweep me off my feet like I always imagined but no, nothing. Just broken dreams and maybe even a broken friendship. *For hopeless romanticsComplete
