I - Indescribable
It was an average Wednesday night in the Prop House. We were all huddled on the couch, watching the latest episode of MacKenzie Falls and, in mine and Tawni's case, chatting. Before anyone freaks out, we didn't actually like MacKenzie Falls. We just watched it to make fun of it. And because it was a great excuse for me to stare at Chad. Wait... forget I said that.
"Why don't MacKenzie and Chloe just get together already?" Grady wondered aloud, exasperated.
... Okay, maybe we liked it a little.
"Because he was in love with Portlyn! He can't just move on to another girl that easily," Tawni replied.
"Psh, love! It looks like he's just as into Chloe as he was Portlyn," Nico muttered.
"It's not about what it looks like, it's about what's inside," Tawni said dramatically. I giggled at her antics.
"How would he even know he's in love, anyway?" Zora asked. "I don't see how it could be any different to a crush."
"Believe me, it's not difficult to tell the difference," I sighed. This comment earned me curious looks from all my cast mates. "What?" I said innocently.
"You have to tell us now!" Zora exclaimed, looking much more interested than an eleven year old should be when it came to the subject of love.
"Well, it's, uh..." I blushed and avoided making eye contact with any of them.
"Like... Your heart races every time you see them, and you can never quite find the right words to say because nothing seems good enough to say to them, and you get butterflies in your stomach every time they look at you," I explained. I knew it was pathetic, but I didn't want to risk giving away too much.
"That is just a crush," Tawni protested.
"No, it's - it's more than that," I said lamely.
"How?" Nico asked. I took a deep breath and then began to speak very quickly.
"It's when they always manage to cheer you up, no matter how upset you are or how terrible your day has been, and even if they were the one who caused it, their smile can change all of that in a second, when you're alone at night and you miss him with all your heart and the only thing you want is his arms around you and the warmth of his body beside yours so you can finally go to sleep, when I feel sick when I'm away from him and seeing him for the first time each day is the best feeling in the world, when I can see myself growing old with him, when him arguing with me is the most exciting part of my day, and when I drown in those bright, blue eyes because they're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. That's what love is." I knew I'd made myself way too obvious as I'd continued with my little speech, and my cheeks were burning.
There was an awkward silence before Tawni broke it.
"I told you she was in love with Chad!"
