Alex And Rose
#WritcoStoryPrompt74
You are falling in love with your friend. What should you do? Write a story...
I met Alex on the first day of fourth grade. I was completely lost and had no friends at all, the teacher gave out a writing assignment and being the clumsy idiot that I am I made a mistake and needed an eraser but I didn’t have one and no one wanted to to share his or hers and I soon began to cry. Alex saw me sniffling in the corner and asked me why I was crying, I told him everything and showed him my book. Alex got up and walked to his bag and got out a huge eraser and handed it to me, he also handed me a bunch of tissues to wipe my face and we became inseparable since then
We got closer and closer all through middle school and even closer in high school. Alex and I were so close that I thought of him like a brother, I had no idea that I would develop romantic feelings for him.
I realized I was falling in love with him when he got his first girlfriend Nancy. My dorky friend all of a sudden became this hot and cute guy that most girls were eyeing in school. It first hit me when he introduced Nancy to me, boy did I not take it well. I got angry and my face turned red like flames, I quickly made up an excuse and left them and as I walked away from them I felt like I was dying a little bit. I was so surprised at myself and I began questioning myself. When did Alex get so attractive, and when did I start feeling things for him. I was stumped and I didn’t know how I was going to be able to contain my jealousy if I was to hang out with both of them. I was greatly relieved because Alex began to spend all his time with Nancy and I saw less and less of him. We still texted, sent each other memes but we didn’t hang out like we used to. I thought the feelings will go away but it didn’t, it just stronger and stronger, everytime I saw him time stood still, I felt butterflies in my stomach and my heart was beating ten times faster. I decided I was just going to tell him, I was tired of keeping it inside because it was eating me up. One afternoon I texted him to meet me at our usual hang out spot before he started dating.
“Alex I have to tell you something “ I said
“Stop being weird, you’ve been acting weird since I started dating Nancy, do you not like her?” Alex asked
“No it’s not that. Alex I think I’m in love with you. No actually I’m pretty positive that I am” I said
“I don’t know what to say Rose, I’m with, Nancy, I don’t know what to say. I gotta go” he said. and then he left me standing there
Alex avoided me for the next couple of months. He would avoid me in class, at lunch and barely replied my texts anymore. However things took an exciting turn on the night of the freshman’s dance. I was at home obviously because I had no one to go with. I was on my living room couch in my pyjamas eating junk food and watching reality tv when I heard a knock at my door. I stood up sluggishly and went to answer the door and there Alex was, looking amazing in a blue tux he looked up at me and said
“I’m sorry I freaked out a couple of months ago. it’s just that I immediately knew in that moment that I felt the same way too and didn’t know what to do about Nancy. But that’s over now, it’s been over for a while now but I thought you hated me. I am here hoping you would forgive me and maybe go to the dance with me?”
I smiled and and leaned in for a kiss
“Give me a couple of minutes to change “ i said.
I got changed and we went to the dance together where we kissed and slow danced all night long. Telling my friend I was in love with him was the best decision I ever made.
