Alexis
I sighed as I watched this movie for the fourth time tonight. The couple in love as kids, swept up in their silly dreamed but never having the courage to actually tell each other their love. Then life catches up to them, they move away and keep in touch. Girl goes to college, boy goes into marines. When they see each other again, she had a boyfriend. He was crushed but couldn’t blame her. She wished for him every night, but eventually, they never got together, but they grew apart and turned from a nagging itch to an open wound, never to be sealed again.
I shivered for the fourth time tonight, hoping it would never happen to me. And I cried for the fourth time tonight, knowing that this is likely to happen if I didn't get my act together and told him.
My best friend Cassandra sighed for the fourth time tonight and hugged me. "I don’t know why you can’t just tell him Lexis."
"It’s not that easy, Kass. He’s my best friend. What if he thinks I'm joking and blows it off? What if he tells me he doesn't like me back? What if he decides it’s too awkward and un-friends me?"
She sighed again. "Alexisandra. You listen to me. You will never know unless you try, okay? He likes you, and so does half the school, alright? He could never un-friend you, you are too caring and sweet and sensitive for him to do that. And he cares about you, even if it was awkward, he would do all he could to make it work."
I stopped crying and pictured it in my head for the fourth time tonight. The two of us, Brian and I. the picture couldn’t form properly in my head.
Kass and I had been over it again and again. But I had never ever felt this strongly about him. Maybe she was right, maybe I should just walk up to him and say. "Brian, I know this might be weird or even make you mad but. I like you, Bri, I really, really like you." and then wait for his answer.
I sat up straight on my bed in my room. "Kassi, you're right. I haven’t gotten anything to lose. I can’t let a chance situation tear me up like this right? I can do this!"
Cassandra smiled, she knew I’d come around sometime. "That’s the Alexis I grew up with. Now turn this movie off, it’s depressing. Come one, were going out for Chinese, I'm hungry."
Brian
I sat on my couch in my room, too lazy and tired to move onto my bed only four feet away. I had just come back from my basketball game the only one I had lost this season. Everyone was confused about it. But I knew why.
She wasn’t there. Alexis had always been my lucky charm, her cheers, louder than everyone else were what had always made me happy enough to win. Then after the game, the usual "my captain won!" hug would cover me and ids laugh at how much of a child she was being. But she wasn’t here today. She hadn’t been at school either. I worried and worried, waiting for a distraction to come along.
My cell rang, and I looked at the caller I.D., it was Ben, my best friend. "Hey man, you alright?" he had been at the game, and had seen the terrible job I had done. He already knew why I was so distracted.
"Yeah, man. I'm good." I was the opposite of good. "Just thinking about her."
I could hear Ben rolling his eyes right now. "Of course you are man. Dude, you have every girl in the school drooling over you, why don’t you just go for one of them?"
I’d been over this already with him, and he was just trying to irritate me. "I don’t want any of them Ben! I want her, only her."
"If you want her so bad why aren’t you with her right now?" he countered.
"I don’t know…" and that was the truth, I didn't know. She was the only girl I could stand to be around, the only girl who didn't swoon every time I passed her by, the only girl who didn't over make up her face so she looked like a wannabe Megan Foxx, the only girl who could laugh at my jokes, even the corny ones. I just liked her and her only. She was the most caring, most considerate, selfless girl I had ever met, and she happened to be my best friend.
Ben was a little pissed, but he understood. "Hey man, I'm right behind you if you want support, but the only way to get her is to make your move, man. Tell her how you feel, if you don’t she won’t know, and you don’t know what she’s thinking when she’s around you, it might be the same thing you're thinking," he laughed but then quickly said. "Dude I gotta go, my mother is a mad woman!"
"Alright, peace man."
"Yeah bye." He hung up and I sighed and closed my eyes, I could see us, Alexis and me, more than just friends. Her hugs were followed by easy kisses; we were all that we were now, and then some. I wanted it so bad. That was it, I had to do this. If I didn't, I would go crazy thinking about it.
"That’s it, I'm going to ask her, tomorrow." I told myself sternly. Just to test how determined I was, I forced myself off the couch and made myself go onto my bed. The couch was soft, but my bed was way softer. I climbed under she sheets and fell asleep quickly, her face smiling at me behind my eyelids.
