He Said…

Honestly, I was surprised that Jenny agreed to help me. She seemed mad at first but her eyes lit up the second I told her my plan. She loved it. I knew she would. And she agreed to help me as soon as I finished. Now I just had to plan, which couldn't be as hard, right?

Well, wrong. Planning was not my thing. The day with her was the only thing I really planned and remember how that turned out. When I started planning how to go on with the plan - which sounds like it doesn't make sense and believe me, it doesn't - I realized that I would never really be able to make it perfect.

But I wanted it to be perfect. She deserved perfection. And it would start with the one thing that drove us apart in the first place. Carol. I didn't even have options with her - I had to break up with her. I mean, it can't be that hard, right? And really, it wasn't. I called her up the same day I talked to Jenny. At first, she was eager to see me so she came over quickly.

I opened the door for her slowly and actually pretty scared. She jumped into my arms - I only then noticed how clingy she was. I pushed her off my gently. I know it sounds weird but I didn't want to hurt her feelings that way. I just… wanted to break up with her. Wow, that sounded kind of wrong.

"Hey Carol…" She looked at me confused but shrugged anyway. We walked into the living room together though I avoided her hand which tried to grab mine a few times. She once again looked at me confused but sat down at the couch with another shrug. She was too easy - how could I ever put up with her?

"Well, what did you want, baby?" I cringed at the name. I didn't like her calling me that. I had a name after all. I cleared my throat and sat down next to her, my back straight and obviously now relaxed at all.

"Uhm… we really need to talk." She frowned. Those were the words that no girl wanted to hear - heck no one, not men nor women - wanted to hear them. But Carol still acted oblivious and looked at me confused.

"Okay, we are talking. What do you want to talk about?" I sighed and rolled my eyes a bit.

"About us. I think that this is not working." She cocked her head to the side. Did she think this looked cute? Well, newsflash honey, it doesn't.

"What's not working?" I really wanted to just throw her out at that point. Really, how blind was I? I had to be the most materialistic guy out there ever. I figured I only dated her because of how she looked. Ugh, I'm such an idiot.

"Our relationship. Everything is not working. You cheat on me all the time! I know I took you back but I was stupid - every time I took you back; that was just stupid me. But I now realized that I was stupid. We can stay friends if you want but we are not working out as a couple." She sighed and looked at me with a sad smile.

"This is about her, isn't it?" I looked at Carol confused and a little shocked. She wasn't putting up a fight? And who was she talking about?

"About who?" She slightly rolled her eyes. Okay, a little attitude but I couldn't blame her, right?

"Your best friend! That girl you love so much! Duh, who else?" I now looked at her shocked. How did she know? And I loved her…? Uhm, what was I supposed to say now?

"Uhm… I- I don't… love h-her?" Okay, I didn't sound so convincing, did I? Carol rolled her eyes - I was not convincing.

"Sure you don't. That's why you're breaking up with me now, right? Because she is still your best friend and nothing's wrong between you two… Please, I'm not stupid!" I sighed. She got me.

"Okay, I like her. You cannot talk about love yet. I mean, just because she is the funniest person I have ever met or in my eyes the most beautiful one doesn't mean that I love her." Did that make any sense?

"Okay, you are not making sense at all. Seriously, whenever we were together you talked about her like she was the only person on this planet. And now you're telling me you don't love her? Everyone in school knows you do. It was just a matter of time that you realized it." I looked at her school. Everyone in school? Oh great.

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. Was I really that obvious around everyone. Were only her and me that oblivious? I sighed again and looked at Carol.

"Thank you for understand, Car. It means a lot." Carol smiled at me and leaned forward. She hugged me tightly and rubbed my back.

"I know you'll get her back soon enough. It doesn't really matter when. She'll forgive you. She's in love with you. You just have to do the most special thing ever that'll make her forgive you and she will. What did you do anyway?" I blushed a little.

"Uhm, I promised her I wouldn't get back with you and I did." She shook her head and smiled at me softly.

"I never got why you went back with me anyway. I cheated on you so many times and yet you always took me back. It just doesn't make sense since you really love her." I sighed and blushed a little more.

"Well, back then I thought that I loved you. I thought you wouldn't cheat on me again because I took you back. I know, pathetic." Carol sighed sadly.

"I never meant to hurt you. The first few times was just because… I don't know. Those guys made me, I guess. But then I realized how much you talked about her and I was hurt, of course. So I thought if I pushed you away from me and made you break up with me she'd finally get the chance to tell you that she loves you. She is so in love with you, it's impossible. She went along with it for a long time. You're lucky." I smiled slightly but then I frowned.

"She hated me now. I hate myself! I can't believe I never noticed. Whenever I was around…" But Carol cut me off.

"Whenever you were around she would act. She is a good actress. But that's not the point. Whenever you weren't around but near her she'd always stare at you with those love-struck eyes." I smiled slightly again. That did sound like her. Gosh, I had to get her to forgive me.

"Well, now I just have to get my plan action." Carol looked at me curiously.

"What plan?" I sighed and shrugged.

"The plan to get her to forgive me. It is probably the best plan I've ever come up with… aside from the fact that it is the only plan that I ever came up with." Carol giggled.

"Well, I could help you. I could talk to her and tell her that it is over between us and that I will never get near you in that way ever again. That we're only friends now and that nothing will happen between us again." I looked at her and nodded.

"That would be good. Well, now to my plan…" Carol grinned excitedly and leaned forward. And so I told her. I told her all my plans and how I would get her to come with me. Actually, she would come with Jenny to the place where I needed her. And I knew she'd come with Jenny - Jenny was a convincing-talent.

All I had to pray for was that it would work. But I had a feeling it would. It would take a lot of hard work, but it would work. And I would have her in my arms - finally. Why I only realized that I… loved her after so long was a mystery to me. Was it because she told me that she had feelings for me? Maybe, but it makes me sound like a douche. So maybe I wouldn't explain it like that. If I even got the chance to…
