(Button Mash's POV)
I could not believe it, my crush-Sweetie Belle- was standing right there in front of me. She looked a bit nervous but so was I.
I Don't know what to do, but Celestia please tell me she isn't here to say what I think she's going to say!
" Hey Button, I wanted to ask you something..." Sweetie Belle muttered, each word quieter than the last.
I turned round to face her again. She was visibly shaking, her face was slightly red and she had tears in her eyes. I started shaking but replied anyway," Sure, what's up Sweetie Belle?"
She looked at me and opened her mouth as if she was about to speak, but stopped for a minute and said,
" Oh forget it, it's not important,"
I let out a sigh of relief and walked back to my game console, trying to ignore that fact that Sweetie was still there.
(Sweetie Belle's POV)
Oh for Celestia's sake, I'm a freaking coward! I should have just told him! he must think I'm an idiot...
I walked over to Button and saw him playing a game. The screen had two ponies, one in a red suit, one with a green hat. Both ponies were fighting, but it was difficult to work out which one was Button. He seemed to look more nervous when I walked closer to him. Why was he so worried?
I sat there waiting for him to say something like "How are you?" but he didn't. His eyes stayed transfixed on the screen. I was getting bored and disappointed. I could feel the anger begin its fire deep in the pit of my stomach. By the minute the flames were getting hotter and hotter. When it turned 3 o'clock I decided to speak up.
" Button are you okay? You seem to be ignoring me...". He jumped out his seat in shock, clearly not expecting me to talk.
" Whoa, Sweetie! Don't scare me like that!"
I sighed and asked my question again.
He stopped and looked at me, "What? Well I-I you see I-I..." but he didn't get to finish because he had said the same thing to me on several other occasions.
" Stop Button, I know what you're going say,"
He looked up, clearly confused.
"What, how?"
I didn't bother looking at him, I just turned round and looked at wall. I felt warm tears begin to form in my eyes. I shut them, trying to force them back in.
"Do you know what it feels like?"
He didn't answer for a few seconds. He just stared at me, eyes wide and mouth agape. Suddenly he broke the silence and spoke.
" What do you mean?"
I turned back round, unable to stop the waterfall of tears that had already begun streaming down my face.
" You don't know how it feels to be unnoticed by Somepony". He looked at me with wide eyes again.
" Wh-what...?" was all he could say.
" Of course you don't understand! I came here to tell you that I felt unnoticed but I didn't bother cause I was scared. But what do you do? You go and play YOUR STUPID GAME AND LEAVE ME!!! YOU DON'T SAY HI OR ANYTHING!!" I yelled finally letting my anger and sadness out, the fire had begun its rampage.
" Sweetie Belle I.." He started, but I wasn't hearing any of it.
" NO, STOP RIGHT THERE BUTTON I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT, I CAME HERE AND I GET IGNORED AND YOU DON'T SEE THAT I-I-I GRR I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! I LOVE YOU!!" I took a deep breath, before looking at him.
His mouth was open with shock, it was almost as wide as when he had stuffed a kind sized burger down in one bite. I calmed down a little before continuing.
" Yes, I love you... but I guess you don't feel the same," I dropped to the floor into a puddle of my own tears. " You won and if you want I'll leave you alone forever. My heart is broken, for me it's game over, I ran out of chances, of lives..." I finished. Then I stood, dizzy from regret, and left the house as quickly as I could leaving a shocked Button behind me.

Normal POV
Button Mash's room
He could not believe it. His love had just told him she felt unnoticed, yelled at him, burst into tears, said she loved him and ran off without another word. She loved him, he loved her. But now she was pissed at him. Any chance he's had, was now gone. Sweetie had been right, it was game over.
The reason Button ignored her was because he was afraid he'd slip up and tell her. He thought she would have rejected. Who would want to go out with a worthless goal like him. He made his own crush cry. He turned to the wall that had a picture of him and Sweetie Belle on it. He felt tears in his eyes as he looked at the picture. It was a picture that Sweetie Belle gave him on his first birthday in Ponyville. Back when it was just Button and her.
(flashback)
" Hi Button, Happy Birthday!!" Sweetie Belle shouted as the front door opened. Button looked up and smiled.
" Oh hey Sweetie Belle, what's up?"
He gasped when the excited filly practically threw a present at his face.
" You didn't need to get me anything..." he told her, though unable to hide his excitement as to what it could be.
" Of course I did! You're one of my best friends. I mean it. Now open it!" She shouted, almost as exhilarated as him. He opened it and gasped, not expecting something so meaningful. It was a picture of him and Sweetie Belle on their first play date, Sweetie Belle was waving at the camera and Button Mash was stood next to him smiling. He hugged the picture tight and said,
" I love it... thank you!"
" You're welcome, I'm glad you like it!" she answered back and hugged him. He blushed but hugged her back.
He thought " thank you Sweetie Belle, I'll keep it forever".
(End of Flashback)
" Sweetie I-I'm sorry" Button cried.
At that moment he was angry at himself. He could feel it, the only black cloud that was dominating his mind. He told himself he was stupid. That he was worthless. Tears fell, but they felt like nothing. He didn't deserve this. He didn't deserve anything. Button couldn't hold it anymore. He screamed at the top of his little lungs, then smashed his face into the wall as hard as he could.
Suddenly he felt a dizzy sensation come over him, as well as a searing pain on his head. That didn't matter. He deserved it. Everything was becoming a blur, and he stumbled, trying to stay upright. Suddenly he bumped into an object, which toppled over along with him. Everything on top of the dresser fell to the floor, shattering around him, just like his world was.
*SMASH*
Button Mash turned to see the remnants of the picture next to him. The happy smiles on the fillies faces were barely visible through the cracks that spread across the entire painting. One crack ran right through the middle of the painting, separating him and Sweetie. He gasped with tears streaming down his cheeks. He shut his eyes and opened them again. It was true, the frame was smashed and the picture was torn.
" No-no-no NO!" he screamed. Everything seemed not to matter anymore. He looked around but all he saw was pain. He remembered Sweetie crying, how he had ignored her. How she deserved better.
His mother ran in, " Button what's wrong?" she gasped when she saw the room. The dresser was broken, and it's legs were detached from the main drawers. Several ornaments were smashed, but in the middle of it all was her son, crying and sprawled across the floor. He had his hoof in a broken picture frame.
" Button... what happened, and where's Sweetie Belle?!" Love tap asked, still shocked by the scene.
Button Mash only looked up with tears streaming down his cheeks and said " What have I done?"
The only blackness began to cloud his vision. Words began to sound like mumbles, and he was seeing doubles. He began to drift off into oblivion.
