I feel my heart sink, the air getting heavier while my head is getting lighter. It hit me all at once. Everytime I saw a timer hit zero, they fell in love. Not just a crush or a like, but real deep love. It's clear on their faces. Lana may be quiet, but she's an open book. Iwa's wearing an expression I've never seen before; he's flustered, confused. It's good for them that they love eachother. There's just a tiny problem:
I've fallen for Iwaizumi. Deep. Hard. It's knocking the air out of my lungs, taking me by the neck, choking me.
'Oikawa, do you want to see the picture too?' Iwaizumi calls out to me. His voice is shaking. It's making me feel sick. 'Sorry, I'm feeling a bit unwell. I'm going back inside.' I smile, weak and shakily, knowing that it will worry Iwa. Don't worry about me, Iwa-chan. Fate has decided that it is not me you should be with.
I stumble to the crowd, my limbs growing heavy. I spot Tama and Ben. I haven' t congratulated them personally yet, but I don't wanna show my face to her right now. It'd ruin her happy day. I flee to the bathroom, quietly locking myself into a stall.
No matter how much my heart breaks, the tears just won't fall. The air is getting heavier with each breath I take, the strain I feel around my throat and lungs tightening my airways, not allowing enough air to come through. My heart is beating faster than it was when Iwa and I ran that marathon.
Iwa... I bet the dumbass must be worried about me now. As long as he's not looking for me. It's obvious that Lana and he belong together. Falling in love with my childhood friend was wrong of me. Neither Iwa nor I have anything against gays; I identified as bisexual a long time ago. But falling for your best friend, your childhood friend? That's wrong.
My head is getting lighter. I should get up, drink some water, eat something. Yeah, go out and greet people. So, I stand up. A stupid decision, really, standing up quickly when you're lightheaded; before I know it, everything goes black.
~A really short chapter after two really long ones. I mean, what's a length and rythm for, anyways. I wonder if anyone will ever read this far? -J~
