You and Ryan had grown up together and now went to the same highschool, but this didnât mean you two were best friends. Sure, you got along and occasionally texted or talked in the halls.. But he wasnât your best friend.
And you were 14 when you realized maybe he wasnât just some boy you knew since you were little, which is how this liking started. But Ryan usually always had a girlfriend and youâd never ever get in between that.
So throwing yourself into school and soccer made it easier for you to not think about the boy. What you didnât know was that Ryan felt the same way. Heâs basically liked you his entire life, ever since he realized he COULD like you.
But when you didnât give him the attention he wanted he thought you didnât feel the same way, and turned around to date random girls to satisfy him.
Now at 16, your life had been going so good. Great friends, star student, and a great player on the soccer field. Ryan was now slowly becoming just a friend again, so you decided youâd give another boy your time. Jacob, a basketball player at your school.
A year older, kind, good looking, but a little dumb. Not that you minded, you knew this wasnât going to last forever. And at the final soccer game of the season, half the school was there to watch and cheer you on. Ryan, his girlfriend, and Jacob included.
After winning, you rushed over to where the three unfortunately all sat together, wrapping your arms around Jacobâs neck and kissing him with a smile. Ryan tensed beside his girlfriend, which went unnoticed by the pretty girl. He hated Jacob, hated the way he kissed you, hugged you, loved you, when it was supposed to be him.
âYou came!â You say grinning, letting your smile grow wider as the boy handed you a bouquet. âOf course I did, you looked amazing out there!â Jacob said, even happier. As if he had just won the game himself. Ryan stood up, arm around his girlfriendâs shoulders, moving over to you two.
âHey congrats.â He said, like being here was wasting his time. He didnât mean to sound so rude, it just happened. You smile dropped a little at his tone, worried but brushed it off. âThank you, and thanks for coming!â
By the end of the night, Ryan and his girlfriend sat in his car outside of her house. And he couldnât take it anymore, the jealousy, the lying, the front he was putting up. So he ended things, telling her that it just wasnât a good time for him dating. She cried and ran inside, which made Ryan feel awful but a weight was now lifted off his shoulders. Deciding that the best thing was to drive straight to your house.
When you opened your door after frantic knocks, you raised an eyebrow, surprised at seeing Ryan at your door so late. âOh- Hey Ryan..? Everything ok?â You asked, but invited him inside.
âI have something to tell you. And I know youâre with someone, but I broke up with my girlfriend tonight because I couldnât take it anymore. And I know itâs wrong of me to say this but I wish youâd end things with Jacob. I like you, I always have. I canât see myself NOT liking you. I donât want you to start ignoring me if you donât feel the same, because I think itâd kill me if I couldnât have you. Even as just as a friend..â He said, in one breath and too fast to understand. But you did.
You stared at Ryan, mouth opened in shock, eyes widened. Then sat down on the couch behind you to try and steady yourself. âI.. I.. donât know to say..â You say, words stumbling over each other. âJust please say you feel the same..â Ryan selfishly said.
âI have a boyfriend.. This is unfair, to me, to you, to Jacob. Who I love very much.. But especially that poor girl whose heart you broke for me! I- I did like you, for years. But you always had a girlfriend, and iâd rather stay quiet than ruin anyone relationship.. So I stayed away, and those feelings went away. I-I think youâre just not thinking properlyâ You say, finally managing to get something out.
âI wouldâve left anyone for you.. Why- Why did you wait..?â âWhy would I want that..? To be the girl that ruined some other girls relationship?â You say, slightly offended by the mere thought of it.
âPlease give me a chance to show you that you deserve better than Jacob! That Iâll give you that!âRyan begged, now on his knees in front of you. You shook your head and stood up, putting distance between you two.
âYou need to go.â you said, trying not to cry. And he did, giving you the space you wanted and needed. Making sure you knew heâd be here whenever you were finally down with Jacob.
