I Stayed Anyway

I met her when I was eight. She was ten.
She was bold, blunt and effortlessly intimidating.
I was quiet, guarded, and cold.
But, we became bestfriends.
We grew up tangled-like vines, like stars, like something that should've unraveled years ago.
They told me falling for your best friend is a cliché.
They never said it would hurt this much.
But now, I love her.
And she has a boyfriend.
She clings to me like I'm hers, whispers things that shouldn't mean anything-but somehow do.
She gets jealous, possessive, angry when I pull away.
But she belongs to him, not me.
And I?
I just smile and pretend I'm not breaking.
Because she's my best friend.
And I was never supposed to want more.

Best Friends (Complete)
"Sam!!!! Sam!! Don't do it!!" I heard a deep voice saying as I was standing at the edge of the highest building in town. I was crying. "Sam! You don't have to do this!" The voice said "You don't have to go this far! How about us?! Your friends? Your family?" I was going to pass out from crying. And if I pass out, of course I'm going to fall! I'm on the edge of the building! Then I feel dizzy and my eyes got blurry. When I was about to fall, someone pulled me. I didn't see who was it but I could feel that it was hugging me and sat down. Then it let go when I heard four girls and two guys coming and they were worried. It was a familliar voice. It is someone's voice that I've known for long. Then I could hear them crying and the sound of the ambulance. I can't see anything but I can hear and feel everything. "Sam, please stay. You've been there for everytime I'm sad and I'm sorry," the deep voice said "I'm sorry for everything but please stay! Please!!," I could feel that it was holding my hands. I could feel that it was shaking and it was cold. And I xould hear him crying. I remembered holding this hand but I'm not sure who it was. You may ask if how did I happen to end up on the edge of the building? Let me take you back from the past and where it all startedComplete
Chasing Skye
"Stop, Megan!" I heard Skye call after me. I could hear the desperation that laced her voice. But I couldn't bring myself to turn back. How had I let myself get into this? How did I let myself fall in love with my best friends sister? This was all kinds of fucked up. "I said stop!" She raised her voice, pulling on my arm slightly. I could feel the similar sparks and tingles, but given the situation, I denied myself the pleasure of succumbing to the pleasure of it. "Turn around....look me in the eye, and you tell me yourself, you don't love me." "I can't." I said softly. Finally allowing myself to look up into her bright green eyes. "I.....can't." "That's what I thought." Was all I heard before she slammed her lips onto mine. And in this moment, it was as if nothing else mattered.Complete

Arpo in Love
I, 'Bow', a person with an ordinary life, nothing colorful, and a very private person. I was confessed love by the neighbor girl named 'Arpo' who kept pestering me since she was as small as a mouse. Now, she has transformed into a Persian cat who keeps whining and snuggling. Amidst all the annoyance, my parents think that's cute, which made me even more against it. Why doesn't anyone think it's strange that a little girl would scream for another sister? Until one day, she said, 'I think I'm done loving you.' That was the beginning of my heart pounding. The girl who used to tell me she loved me said she didn't love me anymore. The person who used to be infatuated with me now no longer falls for me. What is this feeling? This feeling of being lost and alone, like being left on an island in the middle of the ocean? No... You always love and like only me. I won't let you stop loving me. Because Arpo... You belong to me. Author: Chaoplanoy Translator: Pattarapong and meb translation team Editor: PaphaveeComplete

A Poet's Secret
Being in love with your best friend isn't the ideal life situation but for Zora, it's her only life situation. Secretly harboring her feelings for her best friend, Sierra, Zora pours her emotions into her journal in the form of poetry. After years of keeping her attraction for her friend at bay and trying to deny her feelings by forcing herself to love a boy who unconditionally loves her, Zora's favorite emotional outlet becomes the cause of her life falling apart as the truth finally comes out. ***** It was happening again. It was dark, sunset, I waited for her to be done with volleyball practice 'because she was my ride'. Somehow we wandered from the gym to the football field and we were sitting at the very top of the bleachers staring at each other. Her dark hair mirrored the direction of the wind, the setting sun being replaced by the brightness of her smile. We were sitting so close I could feel her warmth. It was an unusual situation. Friends don't do this. We held eye contact for a long time before I couldn't take it anymore and just closed my eyes. It wasn't real, she was just my friend. Then, I felt her tuck a strand of my curly hair behind my ear. That with the chill of the night sent shivers down my spine and a swarm of butterflies attacked my stomach. I reopened my eyes. If she didn't want me, why did she look at me that way? I held her hand and I held it for so long because I didn't know if we'd have another moment like this. We talk and laugh and she tells me I'm pretty and I ask her if she'd just noticed that and we laugh again. I realize the feelings I felt in that moment were not just the intense feelings of attraction that I felt every time I was with her. Warmth flooded to my face and if it wasn't for my dark complexion, my blush would be noticeable. I look into her dark-colored eyes and I come to the conclusion that I'm royally fucked and I'm probably also in love.Complete

Slowly
I began to think, as one does when they don't know what the fuck their doing with their lives. Confused wasn't even half of it. Through it all I couldn't, for the life of me stop thinking of Nyx and her pretty hair and the way her eyes flicker with light when she looks at you, and dammit I couldn't help but cry because there was something so beautiful on this planet, something that seemed so pure and beautiful, here I was wanting to exploit it I wanted to touch her cheek and fucking cry because of her and how insane I felt over her. Knots in my chest, my tongue tied in my mouth, a blabbering baboon, a fucking child compared to her. Her her her her her her her her her. Nyx Nyx Nyx. She reminded me of cloudy days and heartbreak but it felt - No I felt and that's what made everything seem so impossible, I felt something for her and me running away like a coward did nothing for me. But at the same time running helped me in every way. I needed to run to hide, I wasn't ready to accept the fact that I fucking like Nyx like- like oh I don't know like - I've never liked anyone before and I was so god damned scared. A girl. A female. I liked a girl. The words felt like sour milk in my mouth as I said them out loud, indigestible.
