what if we confess at the same time?
hah, dream on.
Oh come on
What's the point?
the point is, we both face our fucking fears together
ew, you make it sound like we're bestfriends
ouch, are we not?
oh shit yeah.
asshole
haha I know
wait no- ugh so do you accept my proposal?
hah, fat chance, are you Evan? then yes
you're such a dick
Okay okay I'll stop but when and how?
errr come to his birthday tomorrow?
fat chance, we're not even friends
I'll just convince them to eat out for lunch and let's say you're at the same place cOinCidEntAllY. I'll be at their place for the whole day anyways
are we gonna have anything prepared though?
do you want to prepare something? I mean we can but if you're so scared of being rejected, why put in effort?
fuck you. That really boosts my confidence [Y/N]
does it now?
UGH I hate you why are we even friends?
because I'm the opposite of what you hate
Fuck you and your correct-ness. That's not even a fucking word
aren't you just the cutest
aRe yOu hiTtiNg oN mE
lmao ew no
good
so are we preparing something or what
let's prepare something simple idk
okay, wanna be in like different places so it's more alone and intimate?
elaborate
here's the gameplan, I'm gonna lead evan and jared to the park, you'll be waiting there. Blah blah blah greetings then we'll both lead our "partners" quotation marks to like a different part of the park. You can set up something to where you'll lead them.
sounds perfect, who knew you were so smart?
shut up that's both flattering and insulting
it was meant to be insulting
offense taken
good
anyways, bye for now. gotta do shit
okay bye bAbE
bye sWeEthEarT
please don't call me sweetheart, sweetheart
please don't call me babe, babe
I laugh and ended the call. Damn it feels so good being in good terms with that tree. Maybe that's why Evan loves him so much, he's as tall as a fucking tree. Maybe he is one, lol what the actual fuck is my imagination. Anyways, cleaning time.
I walk around the house and it's actually pretty neat, I figured dad fixed it since mom wouldn't care. Oh! a note on the fridge
Dear [Y/N],
I cleaned the house when I went home because I can see how stressed you are lately. Don't worry, I know you were at Jared's. His mother told me. If you're not gonna be home because it's his birthday, it's fine just leave a message, I might not be able to respond but I will read it. I left some money for you in my drawer, don't worry I warned your mother not to take any. Spend it wisely honey, I love you.
Love, Dad
Dad is the sweetest and my fucking will to live.
Anyways, I go up to his drawer and saw like 4 stashes of money
.. damn that's a lot. I really have to catch up with him some time, maybe he got a promotion or a raise without me even knowing. I need a father - daughter date soon, like the good old days.
I head to the supermarket with my saved up money and the money dad gave me. I promised Jared that Evan and I will go to his house early in the morning so we can spend the whole day there, plus his parents are gonna leave at like 8 pm so midnight talks here we come. Anyways, that means his parents will be there for the day till 8 pm so eh. Whatever but I'd like to not just go there early, I wanna be there the second the clock hits midnight. Maybe I can climb in through his window? because he doesn't sleep jesus if I try to prepare something while he's asleep, he's most definitely not asleep. Specially on the night of his birthday.
Okay okay, I'll send him a long message while waiting outside his window. Once he's done reading it and replies, I'll jump in his room and scream happy birthday. Lmao I know he said to stop it with the jumpscares, but whatever it's his birthday.
Now gift shopping
>> YEET TIMESKIP <<
okay, here are the things I got him
T-Shirt
because who really, truly understands what a Jared thing is? amirite
Keychain
it says that because he always drives us to school, and I want him to always drive safely. I need him.
Ring
when I first saw this ring, it shone so bright it's worthy of being Jared's. And it's simple design is just perfect and I hops he'll like it
I also MADE a gift instead of just buying
I sacrificed a whole deck of cards for that. And my energy to think of the things I love about him.
Anyways it's only 1 PM and I don't know what to do. Maybe I can cook him something? or bake a cake? dang that means I have to bring it to his house at like fucking midnight. Maybe I can convince Evan to come with me at midnight, he'll help me bring stuff. As if Evan will say no though. Anyways I wrap up the gifts and sat down on the couch, it's the worst part now. The waiting game.
I don't fancy being alone with my thoughts, it can lead to depressive ideas and actions I don't wish upon to do today. It's a special day tomorrow, I can last. Maybe it might go well then he tells me likes me back?
All of my insides curled up when I suddenly realized he likes a girl from a club of his. I suddenly feel a wave of pain and deep melancholy, tears start rolling down my face.
Everything's losing it's colour
what if I went through all that and he doesn't even like me back?
Everything doesn't mean anything anymore
What if our friendship breaks and Evan's gonna be stuck in the middle
I start remembering all the hurtful things my mom tells to me
he doesn't like me back
worthless
he does NOT like me back
mistake
he DOESN'T like ME back
trash
HE DOESN'T like ME back
useless
HE DOESN'T LIKE ME
burden
HE DOES NOT LIKE ME BA-
