Your heart stops beating while you wait for ’s answer. The longer it takes for her to say something, the further into your stomach your heart sinks. If time was passing slowly before, it is standing still now. It feels like an eternity has passed when looks you in the eyes and begins to speak.
“, you are my best friend. You have been since the day I met you.” She starts. You feel like you could die. You don’t want to her continue, but she does. “I have treasured every moment I have spent with you, even the times we’ve fought and argued and swore we would never speak to each other again. When I first moved in, my life was shit. My father had split, and my mother was becoming an alcoholic and then she started to beat me. I was so close to failing out of school. Worst of all, I had no one to turn to, no one who would listen and I thought of ending it all. But then I met you…”
“So friends it is then?” You cut her off because it hurts too much to hear her say it.
“Let me finish.” pleads. You aren’t sure you want her to, but you let her anyway. “But then I met you, and you swore everything would get better. At first, I didn’t believe you. But then things started happening. My mother quit drinking and our relationship improved. So did my grades. Who would have thought ten years ago that I’d be class Valedictorian? Then, mom met someone and now they’re married and have a baby. Through everything that has happened in my life, you’ve been the one I could lean on, the one I could talk to. I mean my boyfriend of a year, the guy I thought would ask me to marry him last night, ripped my heart out and crushed it instead, and once again you were there. You picked me up AGAIN and now, I don’t even care that Keith dumped me. In fact I’m glad he did, because we wouldn’t have had last night or this morning. The last twelve hours have really opened up my eyes . I realize now, that the happiness I’ve been looking for everywhere has been right next to me all this time. There’s nothing in this world that I want more than for you to be with me in body, heart and soul. I LOVE YOU!!!” She concludes her confession with a kiss that would make even Casanova jealous.
