Taking chances is something we do everyday whether or not we find the results we were hoping for. It is easier said than done when it comes to how you feel about a person. But for Ellie, it was something that she had never done before. She had fallen in love with Sean and had strong feelings for Marco even though things turned out up side down. Things were different this time now that she was in college and that her best friend, Ashley was in England. The only one she could laugh with and really be herself was with Craig.
Over time, Ellie and Craig became really good friends and eventually became best friends. They were both in a band together and were becoming closer friends each day. But her feelings for Craig started to change and Ellie was soon tied up in a knot.
Craig is my best friend and if we start to date each other, things will be different. And if we were to break up, that would be even worse. I don't want to lose my best friend.
Ellie couldn't help her feelings for Craig and they became stronger. She wanted to tell him how she felt but she didn't want to face the feeling of rejection. So she decided to wait until the moment was right.
They were both in Craig's garage jamming it up with Ellie on drums and Craig playing the guitar. It was a cool summer afternoon and Ellie couldn't keep her feelings for Craig bottled up. They were alone and she knew it was the perfect time to tell him how she felt.
"Craig, I need to talk to you." Ellie said in a nervous tone.
"Sure. What is it?" Craig said wondering what it was she had to tell him.
"I, umm..." Ellie hesitated for a second and then found the right words to say.
"I…I have feelings for you. I don't know if you knew already but I just wanted you to know."
Craig stayed silent trying to process in his mind what he just heard.
Ellie was anxious for a reply and began to feel that she just had made a huge mistake.
"Umm, maybe I should have just kept that to myself…" Ellie said with regret.
Ellie's eyes were forming tears and she turned around so Craig wouldn't see the pain that she was feeling.
Craig spun her around and held her in his arms and kissed her.
"I have feelings for you too." He said with a smile and passion in his voice.
Ellie smiled feeling relieved to know that he felt the same about her too.
