Storyyyy

“Oh Tom” I whispered, looking back down into my lap.

“I’m sorry that this might have jeopardised our friendship but I felt it was about time I told you” Tom said. “Why did you go out with Jaz and Sam if you liked me then?” I asked.

“Because I knew that there was never a chance for us Tee” Tom replied.

“But how do you know that?” I asked.

“Because you don’t feel the same about me as I do for you!” Tom laughed dryly.

“Tom, everything you said about why you love me I can say about you. Well, apart from going down the shop in trackies, no make-up and hair tied into plaits” I said. “And I love you as a friend, you are my bestest friend in the world Tom. But I don’t think I love you love you” I whispered.

“I understand that Treasure” Tom whispered back. I reached over and took hold of his head. Tom looked over and smiled before he squeezed my hand gently. “I’m sorry Tom” I smiled.

“Don’t be sweetie, it’s not your fault that I like you” Tom said.

“I know, but I am sorry that I don’t feel the same. And I don’t want to pretend that I do just to please you as if it doesn’t work out I don’t think we could be as close friends as we are now” I said.

“I totally understand Treasure” Tom smiled.

“Thank you” I smiled back.

“I’m going to go and do some work for a bit, is that okay?” Tom asked.

“Of course” I replied, letting go of Tom’s hand.

“I’ll be down for dinner” Tom said as he got up and left the room.

“Okay” I whispered.

10 minutes later and I was still sat on my bed staring straight ahead. I grabbed Tom’s Macbook that was still on my desk before I locked my door. I turned the laptop on and went onto Skype before going onto Twitter and DMing Will to get online. 5 minutes later he appeared on Skype and invited me to a video chat. Seconds later, his face lit up my screen. “Hey doll face. Of geez, what the hell has happened?” Will asked.

“How do you know?” I giggled.

“You look like you are about to burst into tears any second soon honey” Will sighed.

“Tom just told me that he loves me” I said before I burst out crying.

“Fucking hell dude!” Will grinned.

“What?” I sniffed.

“Get in there girl!” Will grinned.

“But I don’t feel the same back! I adore him but I don’t love him like that” I said, wiping my eyes with my sleeve. “Honey, you are honestly both perfect for each other, like I said yesterday. And to be honest, I kind of already knew” Will said.

“Tom fucking told you and you didn’t think about telling me!?” I growled.

“No he didn’t tell me but it was bloody obvious yesterday where he kept placing his arm around you and kissing your head and sharing his food with you. And when he mentioned that he had thought about asking you out but didn’t want to risk losing you as a best mate and a girlfriend. And when you came down and were dancing on the table with him you left because he got a boner, didn’t you?” Will asked. I lowered my head.
