Skyheart {f} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Noon {m}
I see the way he looks at her.
Carefully
Shyly
Demurrly
Sweetly
...
Longingly
I can't make myself tell him that every time his golden eyes look at me I can't breathe. That every time I see him my mind goes blank. That every time he's in the room and I feel as if I have to be closer to him. How am I suppose to tell him that his best friend is in love with him?
The girl he loves is popular. Gorgeous with her long blonde hair always styled perfectly. But she's not right for him. He's kind and sweet while she's just in relationships for the fun of it. For years I kept my feelings to myself. I let him gush about her to me even though I just longed to tell him. Get it all over with. But I'm afraid. What if he doesn't l-love me back? What if I'm just kidding myself to think that for years I've been in the friend zone and there's no getting out of it?
But a few weeks before graduation I throw caution to the wind. I'm tired of seeing that girl throw herself at him.
And it all blew up in my face.
"Noon, please! I'm sorry, so sorry. I shouldn't have. Please. You're leaving so soon and I can't let you leave without knowing things could at least be ok between us!" I've been standing outside his window for hours. I was stupid. Blinding by envy. And I ruined whatever chance I had with him. But I couldn't just let someone take him from me. He has hair so blonde it almost looks white. He was always saying the strangest things, facts that no one except me cared about, but his smile and his eyes were what I loved best. His smile could bring out the sun again. His eyes could make someone - like me - feel like there was actually a chance at their dreams. But, foolishly, I thought I he would love me back.
So I tried to explain to him, hurriedly, one day. I knew she was strutting around the corner and I had to be fast. But he couldn't understand my words. I did the only thing I thought would help, would make him understand. I whispered 'I love you' and kissed him, right then and there in the parking lot.
But now he will soon be off to college like the rest of us. And I couldn't let him just walk away from me.
~~~
I heard her, loud and clear. There was at least a foot of snow on the ground and there she was, standing diligantly, refusing to leave until I answered her. But what did I think? She had been- was my best friend. When I was seven I had first met her and nothing had ever been the same again. We did everything together. Romance hadn't entered my mind about her in the slightest. Not until recently. I felt as if I had made a huge mistake, chasing after the other girl. She wasn't like Skyheart, nothing like her.
Skyheart was so different. Her hair wasn't beach blonde but so black it looked blue. Her eyes weren't chrystal blue but dark black. And her laugh. Whenever I make her laugh and smile... It was something to see. Her whole face looked happy, free. She didn't belong in a school room, studying Algebra. She belonged in a field under the stars she loved.
But could I really go down there and forgive her? She had kissed me, so suddenly that for a few minutes afterward I didn't know what to do. But did I love her like she loved me? And as I remembered that kiss that supposedly ruined it all, I realized it only opened my eyes. Why hadn't I noticed before it seemed too late? I quickly grabbed my jacket, my scarf, my boots as all the good memories I've had with Skyheart rushed through my head. She was so much better than any other girl out there. No matter what. I stepped outside, my breathe instantly turning to fog in the frigid night.
And there she was. With a few stray snowflakes topping her dark locks like a circlet. She was on her knees, most likely giving up hope, and even from this far away I could tell her shoulders were shaking with sobs. If I didn't forgive her- I trailed off, not wanting to think about the bad things. I walked slowly through the piling snow. Was I really going to change everything? I knew I would miss those days where Skyheart and I could just it in the park and not have a care in the world for that moment. I would miss where we would laugh at the pity couples. Now there was a chance we could become that pity couple.
I crouched down in front of Skyheart and, holding my breathe, she looked up at me, hope dawning over her face all over again. There were tears tracing down her cheeks, illuminated by the stars that glittered above. She never looked more beautiful, I finally admitted to myself. Softly I brushed away her tears. I gave an unsure smile because I didn't know what would lay ahead for us. Something rocky or something absolutely breathe-taking.
"I'm sorry for acting like a fool. Will you forgive me?"
