A/N: I hope you guys will like my super short story with super short chapters. This is a Kenshin-Kaoru story and just so you guys know, I won't be referring to them using their names but just by me, you, her etc. Also this story is based on Kaoru's POV. The story won't stay at a constant speed. Hope you enjoy it.
Chapter 1
I knew that I loved him then; that the feelings I got when I looked at him weren't because my stomach was upset, but because he was my best friend and I loved him.
My feelings for him were confirmed the moment he told me of his plans to marry her – his girlfriend, who he's been dating for a year – and the way my heart sank to my stomach and how the voices in the back of my head kept screaming, " No! No! What about me? Don't you see me?" It was useless, he was never going to see me as someone more that his best friend. Those are the repercussions of being someone's best friend; you can never go past just being friends.
Perhaps I loved him even before and maybe that's why I stuck with him till now. Funny how things work themselves out; I had him for all these years and now I'm going to lose him in an instant. I want to stop him, to tell him that she's not the one for him, that he can do so much better. But then again I'm no better than her. I can't have him but I can't give him up. To think of what I'll be losing in him – my best friend and my past – I don't dare at all.
I am both selfish and selfless.
A/N: So what do you guys think? The other chapters will get a bit longer so no worries.
