A best of friend's Lovestory

Nicole's best buddy was Alie. They're best friends.For so many years Alie's falling in love with her. He keep it secret by himself for so many years because he doesn't want lose their friendship either to ruin Nicole's trust. He knows Nicole well even her crushes and whom to admired most and it's hurting him more.

Does Nicole choose Alie over her charms? or Does Nicole feel the same way as Alie feels about her?
oh,let's see...
I ask this question more often....
Why he /she can't like me or love me for not just being a best pal? or if I tell her/him that i love him/her would he/she feels the same way? or What if I tell him/her my feelings would our friendship won't suffer?
So much commotion...Why we don't have any courage to speak out our feelings if FRIENDSHIP's sake is there?
How about you? Would you mind to do that? or to be a coward forever.
