"There's something I need to tell you." · 6:32pm Nov 10th, 2013
"Yes, of course," she said, leaning in. "What is it?"
"Well," I began, already taking a pause. It was almost surreal. So much had led up to this. And now...
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, of course," I scoffed. "Sorry."
"We don't have to talk about this now."
"Yes, we do," I said, perhaps a bit too harshly. "I can't just let this keep sitting. It's eating me alive."
She nodded.
"Listen, I really don't know the best way to say this. There's a million different ways I could. But...
"I'm in love. With you. Have been for some time now. And I think you've known that for a while. Things haven't exactly been normal between us lately, in case you haven't noticed. I don't know what it was that made you realize, but it was wrong of me to hide this from you for so long. I'm sorry. It's just... you mean so much to me. This means so much to me. What we have right now. You're my best friend. And I guess I was so worried about what you would think and losing you as my best friend that I didn't want to tell you. No matter how badly I wanted you.
"You see, I might want something more out of this. Desperately. You can't possibly imagine how much I've thought about us being together. But I already have everything that I need. Just being with you, being able to share all these memories with you... that's more than I could ever ask for. It makes me happy. YOU make me happy. Happier than you could ever imagine. And maybe that's what I want to do. Make you happy. And I feel like I could make you feel happier, feel luckier than any other girl in this world, if you'd just give this a chance.
"But it's not about what I want. It's about what you want. And as much as I do want us to happen--it's not my decision to make. It's yours. But I had to tell you. I know that you can at least understand that. And I'm so sorry. I'm so completely and utterly sorry that I'm driving this stake into our relationship with these feelings that I have. It makes me feel terrible.
"Literally all I want is to see you smile. To make you so happy. But if this isn't something you want, I can't help that. I can't force you to feel the same way I do. I'm just saying--I want to give this a shot. Give us a shot. Because, if we don't, how will we ever know if we missed out on something great?
"What do you think?"
And thus began the longest silence in my life.
I am sorry to hear that you got shut down. Fickle creatures, they are.
Make it happen.
1497445 Never said this was me. Or whether or not this person got shut down. Sometimes I just like writing down my thoughts.
Silly TSB, always posting cryptic story thingies that he is
TOTALLY GOING TO WRITE A STORY ON OR I WILL STEAL IT!
Yep.
1498738 Dude totally take this and run with it if you want to. I wasn't planning on publishing anything on the site about this.
1498811 I wanna continue this now with like... a Soarin and Spitfire thing.
*start*
No, it wasn't because she shot me down or anything. It was because at that exact moment, a stallion shrouded in a nondescript, brown overcoat stepped out of the crowd and held out his hoof to me.
In a bright flash of light, everything was gone.
I was gone.
She was gone...
*end*
Eeeeh?
