Dear Abby, I'm
in love with my best friend... tips? Xoxo, Anonymous
Dear
Anonymous, tell him/her! You never know what could happen, she/he
might feel the same way. Xoxo, Abby.
I
woke up facing him, sun streaming in through his blinds on the
window.
I got out of bed, careful to be quiet and not wake him up.
I checked my phone - 10:43 a.m.
I went into the hallway bathroom and washed my face and brushed
my teeth.
When I came back into Jared's room, he wasn't in his
bed.
He came out of the bathroom with no shirt on, and I couldn't
help but stare.
"Morning," he said, smiling and wiping his eyes.
"Morning," I quietly said.
"Do you have a t-shirt or something I can borrow? I'm
sweating," I said.
He threw me a West Chester University t-shirt and I pulled off my
sweatshirt.
When I looked up after slipping into the t-shirt, it just
occurred to me that he had been staring.
"Damn, woman," he said, smirking.
I playfully punched his toned arm, and followed him downstairs
for breakfast.
There was a note on the counter that read: Leah has a soccer
tournament, we'll be gone until 7:00 tonight, don't wait
for us to have dinner, xoxo mom.
I read it outloud to Jared who couldn't be any happier that
he had the house to himself.
"Okay, well I'll get going, thanks for letting me sleep
in your bed," I said, grabbing my keys off the counter.
"What? Where are you going? Stay here!" He flashed me
big brown puppy dog eyes that I couldn't say no to.
"Okay, my mom's at work anyways. What do you wanna
do?" I asked him, putting my keys back down.
"Let's go out to breakfast, I'm starving."
"Where do you wanna go?" He looked puzzled and then
left the house to get in his car.
Not knowing where we were going, I still followed him out.
He pulled into Cosí and we got breakfast to go.
He drove to a park near his house.
We got out and took our breakfast with us.
There were little kids running around, mothers chasing them.
We ate at a park bench, facing the pond.
For living in Pennsylvania, the pond was pretty clean.
It was chilly out, but of course I'm stupid and didn't
bring my sweatshirt.
"You cold?" Jared said when he noticed my
goosebumps.
"Yeah," I tossed my wrapper into the trash can that was
three feet away.
"Come here," he pulled me into him, and I breathed in
his cologne.
We sat cuddled together for half an hour and then decided to go
back to his house since it was getting colder.
I turned around to see Ryan standing behind the bench, genuinely
hurt.
At first I didn't think much about it, but then I realized
how it looked to an outsider.
It looked like Jared and I were together.
Ryan didn't say anything, he just turned around and walked
away.
"Ryan!" I said running up behind him.
"What do you want?" He snapped at me.
"It's not what it looks like, he's like my best
friend!" I said so fast I could barely understand
myself.
"Right, you're not even worth it Miranda," he said
turning towards the parking lot.
I just stood there, quiet.
I heard Jared come up behind me and he pulled me into a
hug.
Note:
