The crisp morning breeze gave me new hope and inspiration towards this day. Walking down town with my best friend makes me feel amazing. Like I can breathe for the first time in months. I have loved him for so long and today is the day I have to tell him. Maybe for once the feeling will be reciprocated. He is my best friend and I really don’t want to lose him but I guess this is where he would say ‘high risk high reward’. All I want is some one to call my own. We are walking on the irroded sidewalk skipping the crack, since life is more fun with games. The leaves are finally changing into beautiful ambers and carmel browns and the wind is creating the perfect breeze to calm my nerves.

“Hey,” I start.

“Hello,” he replies.

“So I migh kinda sorta have feelings for you that are stronger than just friendship,” I have a good feeling about this. I hold my breath for his answer.

“Um, yeah that’s cute but I uh don’t like you that way.”

I feel my heart being crushed by the anvil of rejection.

“Oh yeah good. Phew, I was just making sure” I’m gonna cry later.

“okay haha I was starting to think you actually had a little crush on me for a second there haha” he chuckles to him self.

“I know right?! Your like a brother to me like eww I would never.” I am praying for the group to swallow me whole. I check my phone and see the time.

“Oh well I have to go, but this was a nice morning!” I lie.

“Okay see ya!” He waves goodbye.

As I walk away I feel the tears start to fall. I mumble to myself, “I’m sorry I loved you.”
