CREATOR: SORRY YALL I KINDA LOST MOTIVATION TO CONTINUE THIS, BUT IM BACK! Anyways, enjoy the story!
~ 1 week later ~
Nash's POV:
After a few weeks, it was finally time for me to confess. Me and my sister had practiced so I could confess to Jade.
Nash: "Should I wear something fancy like a suit?"
Stella: "Uhh... how about just go with your casual look? We aren't rich, right?"
Nash: "Haha, you're right."
I adjusted and fixed my clothing, and my face was filled with confidence.
Stella: "So, are you ready?"
I looked at my sister and sighed.
Nash: "Yeah... I'm ready."
I went out of my house, and went to the park.
Jade's POV:
I was just hanging out in the park, sitting on a bench and waiting for my cousins Pia and Merinda to be done playing with their friends. After a few minutes, I saw Nash and his sister, Stella.
Pia: "Stella! Where have you been?"
Stella: "Just preparing my brother for something. Now, who's up for hide and seek?"
Lucia, Starry, Pia, Merinda: "ME!"
Pia: "I wanna be the seeker!"
Stella: "Alright then! Count to 20, Pia!"
That's when Pia closed her eyes in one spot, counting to 20, and everyone starts hiding. While they were busy, Nash sat next to me. When I felt this feeling again, I tried to keep my contact to the girls playing so that Nash won't see me like this. I then heard Nash take a deep breath.
Nash: "Jade?"
I was somehow nervous since I don't want Nash to see me like this, but I answered anyway.
Jade: "Wha- huh- wha- yes?"
Nash: Sighs "Uhh... I just want to say... thank you... for being my friend, even if you declined some of my pickup lines..."
Jade: "Ok? Thank you, I suppose."
I said nonchalantly.
Nash: "But wait... I see you more than just a friend..."
I was confused. What does he mean by that?
Jade: "What do you mean by more than a friend?"
Nash: "You see... I really like how you pass and win every sports game in PE... and I really like ho defensive to me and to your sister..."
I was flattered, not in a weird way, but he was not done.
Nash: "I also like the style of your hair... and how daring you were in everything... even mostly your anger issues."
Jade: "Oh, uh, thank you. Guess that's it."
I didn't get what he was trying to do, until he got to the main point.
Nash: "Wait! *Sighs* Look... what I'm trying to say is... I..."
"I like you..."
As Nash concluded, I was surprised. That feeling where my face was red, my heart was pounding, and didn't know what to say was stronger than before.
Nash: "So... will you.. uh... be my girlfriend...?"
I also quickly realized Pia and her friends were watching after the first round of hide and seek. Pia and Merinda were already getting excited to see this.
Jade: "I... uh... I..."
No words were coming from my mouth, until I finally bursted my unthought words...
Jade: "I... sorry I just can't!"
I ran out of the park in embarrassment.
Narrator's POV:
Jade ran away from the confession. Pia and Merinda's excitement dropped into a small frown, and Nash was heartbroken.
Stella: "Nash... I'm so sorry... I just thought-"
Nash: "No need for apologies, sis... I knew she wasn't gonna feel the same way... man, all of that for nothing!"
Stella: "It's ok brother... I'm sure she's just nervous to admit her feelings..."
Nash: "How would you know? You aren't Jade..."
Stella: "I know I'm not, but maybe she just doesn't want to reveal her feelings yet. We can really just try again."
Nash: "No. It's hopeless. There's no other girl I like except for Jade... and she just doesn't feel the same."
Stella: "Please brother... you'll never know unless you try..."
Nash: "I already told you... it's hopeless..."
Stella: "We don't know unless we try...!"
Nash: "NO! IT'S HOPELESS! ITS JUST...hopeless..."
As Stella was a sensitive person, she was offended and shocked. Tears starting falling in her eyes.
Stella: "O-ok... I guess I'll *sniffs* g-go n-now..."
Stella left, sobbing and crying. Nash already felt guilty. Now he's lonely and only Hannah and Pia along with her friends were the only ones here.
Nash's POV:
I really messed things up... the confession AND I yelled at my sister... now it feels more hopeless...
Or is it...?
