I watched my roommate from the other side of the sofa. My best friend, practically my sister; why couldn't I stop looking at her like this?

We'd been friends for so long and that was all we would ever be.

"I'm fine" I replied quickly.

"Sam" she said softly knowing something was wrong. She put her hand on my shoulder and I turned to face her. She hugged me tightly and waited for me to confess. I pulled away so that I could look into her eyes.

"What is it?" She said, looking concerned.

"I… like you" I said.

I tried to force my explanation out but it wouldn't come. Instead I did what I had been holding back.
