Staying Strong
Prologue
No one can ever feel the treacherous pain I am feeling right now.
My name is Edward Anthony Cullen. I study here in Forks High School. I am a junior now, and will graduate next year from high school. I am a performer in school. I can dance, sing and act. I can also recite poems and declaim. I have received so many awards for doing those. But my life isn't easy as it sounds.
My best friend since 9th grade, Isabella Marie Swan or Bella as she prefers, is in love with the person I hated the most, the long-haired, hard-muscled jock, Jacob Black. He always crack jokes on me when the two of us were in middle school. He usually does that because as far as he knows, I am a nerd. His wingmen hurts me every after class. I thought I would be happy after graduating from Middle School but little did I know that it will just be worsened. I've easily forgotten the punches and kicks, because the past was really easier to handle than the present.
Worse, Jacob Black is in love with another girl. A tall, tan cheerleader named Leah Clearwater. Sounds cliché but apparently, he's really in love with that girl and she loves him, too. They sure make a great couple. At least somebody's happy.
The worst part of it is that I think I am in love with my best friend. She is the most caring, most understanding and the most beautiful person I know. She is intelligent, kind and gorgeous. Half the men population of Forks High wants to pursue her, and every time that happens, I feel the rage of jealousy coming over me. But she turns them down always, giving me a slight chance, but as if I don't know, she only does it because until now, she's not giving up on loving Jacob Black. She doesn't deserve him. This sweet angel doesn't deserve anyone here. If only she knew what I feel about her, but since she is my best friend, I don't want to ruin our friendship so I had hid this for God knows how long.
Yes, it is an unrequited love, and no one can ever live through this pain. I tried to be happy for her, even if I cannot control the pain I am feeling so I only stay strong just for my Bella.
