Tonight's bedtime story, pt.5
I watch my best friend from the distance, with a brunette, and she looked pretty. I already knew I never stood a chance, he'd never think twice about going out with a boy, especially me. So I usually, Id just watch from the side. Im used to this, though. And I want nothing more than to watch my best friend smile... even if it means Ill never be able to, but today, I have a feeling everything will go right.
While walking home, I muster the courage to finally confess.
"Hey, I have something to tell you.." I say, feeling my face turn red.
"Whats up?" He said, smiling. I could hear my heart beat. "Umm, so I-IVE LIKED YOU FOR YEARS, AND WAS WONDERING IF YOU felt the same...?
It felt good letting it all out, I look up at him, to see his reaction and it was cold. "No way, youre a homo?" The words I was afraid to hear... I feel the color go out of my face, and just smiled. "No way! You actually believed I liked you?" I wanted to cry, but I tried my best not to.
"Dont joke about things like that, man!" He looked relieved, and smiled back. For the rest of the night, we walked home in silence. After I got home and went into my bedroom, my heart felt like it was torn into pieces, and it hurt.
