It was another day at the Crown. School was almost out, so I had to prepare for the after school rush. Believe me trying to run a busy arcade/diner isn't an easy task. From taking orders, to helping little bratty kids with a one thing or another isn't the easiest job in the world. But I love it non- the less. There are many reasons as to why I love working here. My top two reasons: One it's a great place to meet people. I know almost every face that walks in here, or I make it my business to get to know them. My second reason just walked in with her boyfriend. I don't know if I should be elated that I got to see her, like I do everyday, or seething in jealousy because of the lucky bastard that she is hanging onto.
Don't get me wrong that "lucky bastard" is my best friend, and I'm glad that he finally found somebody, but why her? Out of all the girls that he can have, I ask why her? Wait I know. She is nothing be spectacular, hair a color so bright that would make the brightest day seem dull. Eyes that can rival even the skies, and a body that is the envy of every girl. But her looks aren't what that attracted me. It's her personality. She's so fun and loving. Always trying to help somebody in need. I can't describe how I feel for this girl. I just know I feel it, and I can accept that. I remember the first time she walked in with him. You wouldn't believe my surprise when she announced that he was her new beau. When it sunk in I had this bittersweet feeling, it started to spread across my chest. To say the least, I felt rather betrayed. But I know it wasn't her fault. Nor is it his. I was just to slow to tell her how I feel. I was knocked out of my thoughts when the object of my musing spoke up.
"Hey Big Brother! How was your day?" she asked.
I cringe internally at that nickname. Putting on a smile I reply, "It's been great actually, how was yours?
"My day has been really good", she says beaming with happiness." I just smile and turn to her boyfriend to make my greetings.
" Hey man, how ya been? He simply nods his head in answer. Sometimes I don't understand him. He's my best friend but every time that he's with her he's seems so un-comfterable. Maybe he's not use it, he has always been the quiet type. Turning back towards her I ask her what she wants, she orders the usual, so I turn to prepare it for her. With her order in hand I turn around to give it to her, when I'm faced with sad blue eyes, brimming with unshed tears. Instantly I ask her what's wrong.
"What's wrong? I ask. She mumbles something out and I strain to hear what she's trying to say. I ask quietly again.
"What's wrong? Come on you can tell me." Again she mumbles something, leaning towards her a bit, I get a whiff of her perfume. God I love the way she smells. Sweet and innocent is how I describe it. It's like nothing I've ever smelt before. It's so natural and sweet. Shaking my heads from my way ward thoughts I concentrate on what she's trying to say. She looks up at me and upon seeing my confused expression, she speaks a little clearer through her tears.
" He left again. He just got up and left! I don't even know why he left either, she starts out."
I just nod for her to continue
" I was asking him if he remembers what today is, and he gives me this blank look. Today is our anniversary but he doesn't even remember that. I kept asking him to try and remember and he got mad and up and left!"
After saying this she breaks down in sobs again. This isn't the first time I've seen her cry over him, and it hurts me to no end. I clench my fist in anger, trying to rid my self of thoughts of killing my best friend. I walk over from the counter and pull her into a hug. This is the best I can do, because words are lost to me at the moment. I can feel her pain yet I can't think straight with her in my arms. Slowly her cries die down, but she stays in my arms. The only thing running through my head at the moment is, "you'll never be mine" but oh god if only you where. I wish that it were me that you go home to, but I know all I can do is stand on the sidelines and watch. But for the moment I'll be content just to holding you. Just for this moment even though I know better. At this moment a song I've heard somewhere comes back into my head. How true it sounds now.
I see the way he treats you,
I feel the tears you cried,
And it makes sad, and it makes mad,
There's nothing I can do baby.
Cause your lover is my best friend,
And I guess that's where the story ends.
So I've gotta try, to keep it inside.
You will never be, never be mine but, Chorus~If I was the one who was loving you, baby.
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy.
And if I was by your side,
You'll never know one lonely night
And if it was my arms you were running to,
I'd give you love in these arms of mine.
If I was the one in your life. If I could have just one wish,
I'd wish that you were mine,
I would hold you near,
Kiss away those tears.
I'd be so good to you baby.
You're the one I want next to me,
But I guess that's just not meant to be.
He's there in your life,
And he's sharing your nights,
It'll never be, never be right. Repeat Chorus Yeah, baby.
I wanna reach out and view beside me,
Right here beside me, babe.
Take you in my arms right there,
Scream 'I love you' right out loud.
Some day I pray, that I'll find the strength,
To turn to you and say, 2x chorus If I was the one, if I was the one,
In your life.
A/N: Ok, I got that out of my system. I've been listening to this song for like ever and every time I do a fic pops up into my head, but I never do sit down and type it out. I guess finally it started bugging me more then I realize. I bet you guys all know who the characters are. If not then. well you should! Hehe jk. But I hope you guys enjoyed it. It didn't turn out the way I want it too but I guess it will have to do. Thanks and Ja!
