Book 1 NES: Something In Between ( C O M P L E T E D ❤️)

Chapter 15 - Revelation

  "Do you think you could ever see me as more than just your friend? more than just your twin?"  

Edward's question keeps playing in my head and I don't know how to answer it. Do I tell him the truth? Or do I lie? Lying is not a good option though, Edward sees through my lies. I have never been a good liar.

Thankfully, his phone started ringing so he had to leave the room to check something in his mom's room. Now, I am left alone in the entertainment room as I think about my answer for Edward's question. I decided to sit on the couch first, just so I can gather my thoughts because truthfully, my thoughts are all over the place now.

"How can Edward ask me that question? Have I been too obvious? Could I ever see him as more than just my friend? my bestfriend? my twin? How do I even tell him that I already have? That my heart seems to go all crazy when he is near or when I think of him. How do I even tell him that I long to be in his arms all the time because I feel so safe in them? How do I even tell him that... that.. I wish we are more than just twinnies. How?" My thoughts are suddenly stopped when I heard music coming from the speakers in the entertainment room.

I turned around and looked at the door, but noone was there. So I just listened to the song. I have never heard this song before but it has a nice sound to it. I sat again and before I knew it, I started tearing up.

The song is so beautiful. It really sums out what I am feeling right now. Love is indeed unpredictable and falling in love with my bestfriend could potentially ruin everything. But love is also a risk, it is a risk that a person has to take because it could also be the best decision a person can make in their life.

"I fell in love with my bestfriend" Edward walked through the door singing the last part of the song. He walked towards me and pulled me up. He raised my chin so that I could look at him straight into his eyes.

"Did you listen to the song May?" he asked me and I nodded.

"Did you listen to the lyrics?" he asked and I nodded again.

"Then listen to what I am about to tell you, okay?" he asked and I nodded again. It seems like that's all I can do, nod.

"I don't know when it all started. All I know is I hate seeing you sad and crying, I just want to envelope you in my arms to shield you from all the pain of the world. I love hearing your laugh, it is truly music to my ears twin. Your smile is something that brightens my day. And when you aren't looking, I would just stare at you because I don't think I could ever get tired of looking at you."

He smiled at me, but I couldn't say anything so he continued.

"I tried to stop it Maymay, I was so scared to ruin our friendship. I said, "what if you don't feel the same? What if I am just a bestfriend to you?" so I decided to just hide my feelings. When you decided to go on a date with Tanner, it killed me. But how can I stop you from being happy with someone else? What right do I have? I am just your bestfriend twin."

Edward reached for my face and wiped my tears away. I didn't realize that I have been crying already. He continued talking, "I convinced myself that we are just friends, really close friends, twins and that is why we can get away with being so sweet to each other. But Laura..." he smiled remembering his sister.

"Laura, as crazy as she is, she made me realize some things. When we didn't talk for a month, she told me that "just friends" would never affect me like that. And that was when I realized that we are not just friends because just friends don't steal secret glances, don't get jealous when the other gets close with someone else, don't get butterflies fluttering in their stomach when the other is near. Just friends do not hold each other and comfort each other the way we do. Remember when you asked me if I was in love, and remember what I told you then? " he asked
