Love is a Strong Word
by Dani
My friend was always falling for a new guy. It was always the same. "I love him, I really do." It got on my nerves. She thought it was because I didn't believe in love at such a young age. I was always saying, "Love is a strong word, please don't use it like it's nothing." But the truth was, I was jealous. I had never had a guy to call my own while she was swooning and crying over boys one by one. Then I fell, Hard. Matt* had been my friend since kindergarten. He understood me and I loved how he made me feel. If only he knew. I should have told him, but I was the shiest person alive. I still did everything I could. I was always with him, or not too far behind. I think he found it annoying, but I didn't know what to do! I had never felt this way. I thought he might like me too, but then he met Her. A tall, blond girl who would ruin my life forever. He fell for her and now, they're together. And I'm sitting here, regretting what I did wrong. Love is a strong word... |
