~Don't Fall Alone~

I have to tell her. Now I can't keep it inside me.

My trick failed. I should have known. I should have known that she won't have the guts to tell me. That she will hide it and keep it inside her heart but won't confess.

I mean I know my best friend that much. And I knew this will happen. That I will be the first one to confess.

What was I thinking?

Okay. I know I should not have fallen for my best friend but what can I do now?

What's done is done. Now it can't be undone.

And now I have to make her mine. I will go and confess. And like hell someone can stop me.

I will definitely make her mine.

No matter what.

No matter what people say.

No matter what her answer is.

I will make her mine.

I have had enough of her tantrums.

I mean, why is she so scared?

All she have to do is come and confess.

Just come and confess.

And she can't do even that?

This girl I tell you.

I don't even know how I fell for her.

Anyways.

I saw her running down the corridor.

I was right. She is late again. Now I can have some time alone.

I walked towards her. She was looking for something in her locker.

Those smelly books I guess.

I tapped on her shoulder. She turned and her eyes widened.

"You are late." I said.

"I know. But what are you doing here? You should be in the class." She said and turned again to find god knows what.

I stepped a little closer. Now, there was less distance between us. 

But is still very much for me.

I stepped a little closer again and she stopped. She stood still.

Perfect distance. 

I leaned in a bit and whispered in her ear.

"What are you looking for?" I said.

She shivered.

She turned.

"What are you doing?" She whispered.

I started leaning in and she started backing away.

"What are you doing?" She asked again.

"Gazing at the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." I replied.

Her eyes widened and I could see the tears coming in her eyes.

I smiled and her tear dropped.

I wiped it away with my thumb and held her face in my palms.

"How can you be so stupid?" I asked her.

"What do you mean?" She whispered.

"Didn't you notice? I asked you to introduce so many girls to me. But whenever I saw that you are not getting jealous I asked you to change them. Then you finally started showing your jealousy. If you were getting jealous. Why didn't you confess?" I asked her.

"I was scared." She said.

Finally.

"But why?" I asked.

"I was scared that you will break my heart." She said.

"No nerd. I love you." I said.

She just looked at me. Not saying anything.

"C'mon. I have been waiting for so long to hear those words from you. Don't make me wait any longer." I said.

She smiled.

"I love you too." She said.

I pulled her to me and hugged her.

"Finally. But I wanted you to tell me first." I said.

She laughed and hugged me tightly.
