PresentDay-
I've loved him all my life. He was Edward Cullen. My best friend since elementary school. The perfect boy. Friendly, smart, and just all around very nice. He has the attention of all the girls at school but he never gave them a second look. The elementary school days were filled with just hanging out the two of us. Always at one another's houses.
It was around middle school when he started to change. Just like most of the boys in school he had a growth spurt and all of a sudden became more muscular. He even started playing football with his other best friend Emmett McCarty. The attention he always received from the girls started going to his head. He even started dating a bunch of them. Somewhere along the way I realized I love my best friend. The only one who knew was my other best friend Angela. She was the one of the only girls at school who I could stand. She understood my problem with Edward.
At the end of 8th grade I decided to finally tell Edward how I felt about him.
Flashback-
"Edward I need to tell you something."
"Sure Bella what is it?" He looked at me suspiciously.
"I know this is gonna be weird and it might screw everything up but I love you."
He stared at me for a while trying to process everything I've just said.
"Well are you gonna say anything?" Him not saying anything really had just started to worry me.
"I...I...I'm sorry but I love you as a friend." He looked at me sadly.
"Oh okay" Was all I could say. I had to walk away before the tears came down.
Present Day-
I didn't know if our friendship was gonna survive that but somehow it did. Edward came to my house the next day claiming that we should just forget it happened and try to save our friendship. I don't know what hurt more. Him not loving me or him asking me to forget it. In the end we did try to get past it. It was still awkward with all the girls he brings by but we learned to just ignore it.
We're finally starting our junior year of high school and I'm determined to make it different. I've barely seen Edward all summer thanks to football practice and his girlfriend Tanya. Don't get me wrong Tanya is a nice girl but we don't really talk much. Edward now seems to keep his friends and me separate. I know I'm not popular and everything but sometimes I wish we hung out together more at school. It feels like sometimes he's too cool to be see with me.
I'm starting a change today. I won't let Edward walk all over me. I will keep my life from him separate. I will move on because Edward doesn't feel the same and I deserve better.
So that's my first chapter. I don't know if this will have a HEA. I'm not sure yet. We'll just see as time goes on. Please review and tell me what you think !
