"I….I…" Zoey said lost for words.
"Do you?" Was all Chris could say.
Zoey finally took a deep breath and said "Chris…I…I'm…I'm in love with you."
Chris just looked at her. He had no idea what to say. I mean his best friend just told him that she was in love with him.
Zoey looked over at Chris nervously. She couldn't tell what he was thinking but he didn't exactly look happy about the new news.
"Well, are you going to say anything?" She asked after a few minutes of silence.
"What do you want me to say? My best friend just told me she had feelings for me." Chris said a little hostile.
"I don't know Chris but the silence isn't really helping." She said with a little anger in her voice.
"Why now? Why did you have to tell me now?" He asked standing up. He started to pace around the room.
"You're the one who forced it out of me. I wasn't going to tell you, at least not now." She said with a little more anger.
"How long have you felt this way?" He asked trying to calm down.
"Oh, I don't know since right before you broke up with Rebecca." She said.
"That long. Why didn't you tell me after we broke up?"
"Partly because you were still getting over her, and partly because I was afraid. Then you met Lacey and you were so into her and that's why I didn't tell you. I didn't want to ruin your relationship."
"So wait is that why you haven't been talking to me?" He asked getting angry again.
"Well…..kind of."
Chris was over whelmed. He didn't know what to think. He didn't know how he felt.
"So what are you expecting me to just brake up with Lacey and be with you?" He asked getting more upset.
A very hurt look crossed Zoey's face.
"NO, I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do. I was not expecting anything, which is why I was not going to tell you and if you are going to be an ass then I think you should leave." She yelled at him. She was beyond angry. Now she was hurt.
"Fine then what do you want from me?" He asked.
Zoey sat there a minute before she answered. "I…..I don't think I can be friend with you any more."
"What?" Chris didn't know what to say.
"Well, I…..I don't want to ruin you life so the best thing we could do is not be friends." Zoey said trying so hard not to cry.
Chris still didn't know what to say.
"Um…I think you should leave." She told him again.
"Fine." Was all Chris said. He orbed out of the room back to his apartment.
After he left Zoey finally let herself cry. Her heart felt like it had broken in a thousand pieces. Not only had she just lost her best friend but the love of her life.
She didn't know what she was going to do. She still wanted to be friends with him but she didn't want to ruin his life and she knew her feelings would never changes. It was best that they both stay away from each other. Not to mention every time she saw him and Lacey together it broke her heart a little.
BACK TO CHRIS
He orbed into his apartment.
He could not believe what had just happened. He had just lost his best friend and he didn't know what to do.
He did know how he felt, yeah he loved her but only as a friend or did he. Oh he didn't know he never really thought about her in that way but could he. Could he love her like that.
His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. He got up and answered it.
And who was standing in the door…..non other then Lacey. Like he wasn't confused already.
"Hey baby." She said. "Look I can't really stay I just want to come by and give you a kiss and tell you I love you."
She grabbed his shirt and pulled him into a kiss. "I love you to." Was all he said after she pulled away.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah….well me and Zoey got in a fight and I'm just not in the best mood." He told her.
"Oh, I am so sorry, I am sure everything will turn out okay." She said giving him a hug. "Anyway I have to go to work but I will call you tonight. Bye." She kissed him on the cheek and shut the door as she left. When she was finally out of sight she started jumping up and down with joy. She was happy they were fighting and she hoped it lasted forever.
Chris sat back down on the couch. Now he really didn't know how he felt. He thought he loved Lacey but he wasn't 100 any more.
He was getting so frustrated with himself; all he could do was scream "FUCK" at the top of his lungs.
At that time Wyatt orbed in. "Hey you okay?" he asked.
"No." Chris said.
"What happened?"
"Well, I found out that Zoey is in love with me and so is Lacey and I don't know how I really feel about ether of them."
"Oh, I see." Wyatt said sitting down next to his brother. "Look I wish I could help but I think you're on your own with this one."
"Why does everything have to be so damn complicated."
