I knew I could stand no more; I was sick of putting the old mask on and playing the same rules over and over again.


I could hear my heart shouting: I didn't want to be a simple friend of him any more, I didn't want to go on being an ordinary one in his life and I couldn't stand watching him falling for any girl but me...
When his last girl left him, I spent almost all of my life to make him happy, to see him smile again...


I kept telling myself that I was only a friend, maybe his best friend but not his love! I tried hard to convince myself but as he found a new girl whom he pointed out as a first sight love, I could feel the same old pain in my heart!
Was he blind? What was he thinking of me? Why couldn't he take me as his lover? In all these years, didn't he ask himself why I didn't have any boy friend?


The first advice of my best gal, when I told her about my problem, was talking to him...but no...never... I didn't want to force him to decide on loving me or taking me as a friend, love was not like that, he should feel it, and he shouldn't decide or think about it. No, I'd rather die!


Beside I had my own big harsh plan! I didn't want to suffer more, I didn't want to hurt my feelings any more, what was the use of not letting him down? What was the use of this stupid love? I found the way out!
I called him for the last time, I tried so hard not to cry, and I told him that I wanted our relationship to end! He was shocked, he kept asking me why? But I had no answer, I just hung up! I'd never been crying like that, I never thought that the pain would be over... I changed my job, I moved to a new city, I changed my number; I did everything just in order not to see his face again...


It's almost one year now, it's true that I couldn't stop feeling the pain or even missing him, but it's better now... I can walk on the streets without expecting to see him with a new girl!

Nice

Nicly written: I liked the way you wrote it using plenty of description. I liked the images you created and I found that I could easily picture in my head.

Well done! Keep writing like this!

I’m pretty glad that this did not have a messed up ending, I know this is coming from me, but yeah I thought that there could have been a few spaces between a few lines to make it a bit easier on the eyes but other than that I didn’t find anything wrong with it. It was appropriately descriptive and after all it was well written.

Keep up the good work.

i thought it was a good read. it is a shame though how much she had to suffer. but i really think it would have been alot wiser to talk to him like her friend said....what she did instead was absurd to me. but good story nonetheless.

SECOND BEST

that's how they call friends.

remember when we have this friend who happens to be a boy and who happens to be closed to us...at first they treat us so special like were princess but when they found the love of their life they'll just start ignoring us an makes us their second best.

***

love the story girl.

it happens to all of us in some point :)

Blind

None so blind as those you will not see, and you never know what you've until its gone.

How many people do we know who've thrown away a nugget of gold for the sake of a trashy piece of diamante?

Good writing, but try to space it out a little - my eyes are older than they used to be (lol).

"I knew her"

I liked this story because of the familiar things I read from my teenage years.

I knew this young lady very well.

Great story!

Painful and Poignant

Such a difficult place to be in. The friend zone. Sadly once a male see's you as a friend instead of a lover, it's pretty difficult to change his mind. If he had half a brain he would have figured it out. Sadly though...the character was right about the fact we cannot make ourselves feel something that isn't there. Chemistry and sexual attraction are never created, always generated.

Excellent story. My heart goes out to the young lady.
