Odd love

chapter 1: twists and turns

"hello."
I was talking with a friend of mine before I heard that behind me I was spoked sure but... I looked back to see this guy maybe a little taller then me.
"Uh hi?"
I responded to the man in front of me.
"Can we be friends?"
I was confused. Way confused but I said yes.
"Great! My names Jack. You?"
"I'm Liam."

We got to know each other quick it was nice. I got to find out his interest and his favorite color and what he liked most about me and what he liked most about him.. but I got this strange feeling In my chest. Like, nothing before. I played it off like nothing... At first but it kept aching in my chest for weeks.. then months. It was now May, school was almost done and I was hanging out at his house.

"Hey dude!"
"Hi Jack... Can we talk in your room real quick?"
"Sure!"

I was scared out of my mind. To tell him how I felt.

"Jack, I.."
"Come on dude you can say it!"
"Jack... I like you. Like not in a friend type of way like a you know... Boyfriend type of way."

Jack sat there stunned like all of the things he knew about me faded away. He stared at me and I stared at him for what felt like an eternity. But then he spoke.

"Liam. Get out."
"Jack wait-"
"GET OUT!"

I was scared for some reason he wasn't him. I knew I shouldn't have said anything but I did now I regreted it. I ran. I ran all the way back to my house crying. Crying because I lost my best friend all because I dicided to say something I shouldn't have.

"Hey Jack."

I said to him the next day at school. He didn't respond he didn't even look at me. He ignored me. It felt like daggers doing into my heart and out the other side. Couple of days later he got with this girl. Harper. Harper was the one for him they got a long well but I always pretend it was me in stead of her when I would look at them.

I hope he's happy...
