I was sitting next to Nate on the couch, listening to him rant about his newest ex-girlfriend. For weeks it had been "Alyssa this…Alyssa that…" and then she had been caught cheating on him. I only half listened, lost in my own thoughts. I really, really liked Nate. Ever since I met him at Camp Rock, I felt like there has been some connection between us. But he has never indicated that we could be any more than friends. I watched as he got together with girls that only liked him because he was Nate Grey. Not because of who he is. Each of these girls eventually broke his heart. The most common reason was because they 'couldn't handle the schedule'. This was a first though. Nate got up and began pacing back and forth in front of the couch.

First angry:

"How dare she!"
"Does she not know who I am?"
"I gave her a chance and she blew it!"
"Does she not know how this will hurt my career?"
"WHY?!"

Then sad:

"I really liked her."
"I was willing to give her a chance but she didn't want it."
"They can never see me for me."
"It's like I'm a celebrity before I'm a real person."
"Why does this always seem to happen?"
"I never seem to find the right girl."

My heart went out to Nate as he sat down on the couch and put his head in his hands. Stuff like this is so hard for normal people; it must be twice as hard for celebrities. I scooted over and wrapped my arms around him. He rested his head on my shoulder and we stayed that way for a long time.

Nate sat up and gave me a huge hug. "Thank you. None of the others are willing to just listen to me like you do. You never judge me. This can't be easy to listen to. Thank you for…just being here."

I smiled back at him and felt my heart break a little as I responded "That's what friends are for."

Was it just me or did he look a little disappointed? The moment was lost as he leaned forward to hug me again. He whispered in my ear, raising goose bumps along my arms, "Then you're the most awesome best friend I have ever had."

I felt my heart shatter as he said 'best friend'. That's all I'll ever be to him. I sighed sadly as he walked away. 'When will you realize that the one you've been looking for has been here the whole time?' I thought sadly.
