It was late that night,a very memorable night where I was to help my best friend Nick Rogers with his confession,the normal thing for highschoolers to do,he was going to tell her that night that he loves her.
I followed Nick to the riverbank where he knew we'll run into her, because she has such predictable routines.
Nick was smiling happily waiting for his number one crush to walk by so he could tell her how he feels about her. She eventually walked by and Nick stammering confusing greetings caught her attention.
"Are you talking to me?"her light timid voice asked
He stammered and replied that truly he was trying to talk to her,she gave him a listening ear,and by the time he said his confession I felt a tug in my heart.
Those were my advice,I told him to tell her exactly how he feels about her from his heart,no sugar coated words,just speak your heart and mind,and confess while heatedly, I remembered giving him that advice, I wanted him to say it, but now that he did right in front of me,I felt that sting in my chest.
I know I'll be a bad friend hoping for this but I silently prayed that he gets rejected,but eventually the words I was expecting her to say we're never heard,at the end she felt the same way towards him,I couldn't help but feel bitter.
Months has passed,it felt like a drag, I barely focused on studies,teachers complained about me to my parents, and I got scolded several times.
Whenever I see girls go crazy I used to think it's a waste of time to like a boy or cry if he leaves her,but now I can't help but feel worse.
Ever since Nick's confession to her,he has been showing her around the world like she's a medal he won for a very big activity,he talks about her non-stop whenever we're alone together,I can't see myself being with him,even if things should end he'll still see me as his best friend,And not someone he can love. I feel awful, today's Monday and I'll get back to school and listen to a whole awful things he did with her,how he held her hand and kiss her cheek,thank God they haven't gotten more physical than that.
As I entered the class everywhere looked gloomy,I couldn't find nick in his seat,I asked if anyone knew where he was.
"He just had a fight with his girlfriend"someone told me,to say I was shocked was an understatement,the nick I know will never argue with her, even though it made him uncomfortable, he'll still agree to her ideas,listen to her, support her,so what could possibly go wrong.
I rushed out of class looking for him,then I thought of where my best friend will go if he was sad and if he wants to be alone.
As I got to the rooftop there he was staring at the sky,dried tears on his face,he moved so I wouldn't see his disheveled look,but I know him too well to just avert my gaze of concern rom him.
"I heard you two split"I said as I sat down on the floor comfortably beside him
"She never loved me"nick chanted
I had to pet him and relieve him of his distress.
Then I got happy that she's finally gone,happy is an understatement,I was overjoyed.
"I Don't want to ever fall in love again"nick whispered
"Don't say that, it's not true"I assured him
"But at the very end I get hurt"he cried on his knees
"It's ok"I kept petting him,but around I thought to take this opportunity to tell him how I feel,to tell him I'm all he needs,to tell him I'm the only one that can make him happy,to tell him I'll love him forever.
I never planned for this,but as I stood in front of Nick, and confessed, I heard nothing,no stammering,no confession of feeling the same way.just pure silence.
