14. Losing You
The Daniels house was huge so it took several days to pack up everything. Chelsea was carrying a few boxes downstairs when the bell rang. She rolled her eyes and went to open the door.
"Eddie! What are you doing here?"
"Listen, we need to talk!"
She closed the door and sat with Eddie in the floor.
"Why have you been avoiding me?" Eddie said not looking at her directly.
"I have been busy!"
"Doing what? We are on holidays!"
She didn't reply. He knew she was lying.
"Eddie! Is that what you came to do?"
"No…!"
"Then hurry up, my parents are coming and I still have a lot of things to do!"
She didn't want to be around him. It was too awkward. Things were not the same anymore.
"Chels, about what happened that day…!"
She rolled her eyes.
"I don't want to talk about this!"
She stood up and walked to the door. He took her hand and she quickly let go but he grabbed her arm this time really strong without hurting her.
"I know how you feel. I feel that way too. And it's true, this is not a friendship anymore, it has reached another level!"
"What are you talking about?"
"I love you!"
"Eddie, let me go please!"
"No, no until you tell me you feel the same way!"
Chelsea's parents arrived followed by a truck that went to pick all the boxes to take them to the airport.
"Good morning Mrs. Daniels!"
"Eddie! I am so grateful, thanks for saving my daughter!" she hugged him and he smiled. "It is amazing how you and Raven are always there for her!"
Suddenly, Chelsea looked sad.
"It is a shame things have to end this way. I am sure you will always be in touch anyway and I promise you Chelsea will come to visit. You and Raven can go to London whenever you want. You two will always be welcome at my home!"
She hugged him one more time and then walked away. Eddie was shocked.
"Well, I think there is no need to explain. She said it all!"
"You are moving?"
She nodded.
"Why didn't you tell me?. Chelsea, I am your friend. When were you planning to tell me?"
"Yes, you are right. You are my friend. And I didn't tell you because I didn't want to hurt you!"
"You didn't want to hurt me but guess how I feel now. I was not prepared for this, there were so many things I could have done!"
"What? What kind of things?"
"It doesn't matter now!"
"I am sorry!"
"When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow!"
"I wonder why Raven didn't tell me anything!"
"Raven doesn't know!"
"I thought she did. Isn't she your best friend?"
"Not, anymore!"
"You told me you were going to talk to her!"
"I did. I went to her house and apologized. She asked me to leave. So I said goodbye and thanked her for everything. She didn't say a word but she was crying!"
"I am going to talk to her!"
"Now it's too late!"
Jennifer called Chelsea to help them with the boxes.
"Chels, I love you, I dont want you to go. You are everything I have ever wanted!"
"Eddie, stop it!"
"I know you feel the same way too, just admit it!"
"Eddie, I love you as a friend. I feel no attraction for you. I have no crush on you. Please, understand!"
"You are lying!"
"Thanks for being such a good friend. I will always remember you. Every single day of my life!"
"Ill miss you!"
"Ill miss you too!"
They hugged for a while and she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I hope you fall in love with another girl that really loves you and makes you happy!"
"I don't want another girl, I want you!"
"Goodbye Eddie!"
He started to kiss her passionately but she broke the kiss.
"Why do you keep doing this?"
"Do you still need to ask?"
"Goodbye!"
She left mad. Eddie couldn't understand she didn't want anything with him. Not because she didn't love him, but because everything was happening so suddenly. She didn't want to ruin their friendship but it was too late and it was already happening.
Chelsea ran up to her room, locked the door and threw herself in bed
(Flashback)
"Chelsea…I…I think I…I like this girl but she doesn't like me. She is an amazing person, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. But she doesn't feel the same way about me. She likes other kind of guys and she is just my friend, such a good friend that I'm afraid to tell her the truth about how I feel!"
How could she be so stupid? She was the girl he was in love with and she was too slow to realize it before.
(Flashback)
"You have it all. The hottest guy who is the captain of the football team, the guy everybody wants. The popularity, the attention of every single boy. And now he is in love with you and you are destroying him by doing what you do. Why don't you see the reality and stop living your lie? He loves you so much, he can't stop thinking about you. I can't take this anymore!"
"I didn't know you like Brad. You can't do this to me, I love him and he loves me back, I am sorry Raven!"
"I am not talking about Brad! Now you can see how lost you are in your own fake world"
Raven was right, she was lost. Too lost to see Raven had a crush on him!
She stood up and went to the window to see Eddie walking away. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"I am sorry Raven but I love him too!"
