Have you ever loved someone so much it hurt? If so, I too know the feeling. You want to tell that person so badly, but there's always something that prevents you from doing so. That something is fear. Fear is what causes us to not tell that special someone just how we feel because we fear the outcome. We fear what the other person may say, or how they'll react. You wonder what will happen once you pour your heart out to that person. Will they feel the same way? Or will they not? Will your feelings be rejected and end up having your heart torn into a million pieces? You can't help but wonder these things, and by wondering these things is what creates fear; the fear of getting hurt.
What about having feelings for one of your closest friends? What if that person found out about the feelings you've been so desperately trying to hide? Would that person stop being your friend? Would that person never speak to you ever again? You don't plan on finding out because you can't lose that special friendship you two share. Then again, there have been times where that special someone does feel the same way, but then there have been times when that special someone doesn't feel the same way. And then everything you two had: the friendship, the closeness, the moments you've shared together, the goofy smiles, inappropriate jokes, the good laughs, everything gone.
My name is Nick Santino and I'm in love with my best friend Jack Barakat. I know that sounds so cliche and overly used, but its true; how else could I of put it? Anyways, I well, honestly I have no idea when I began having these feelings for Jack, but all I know is that they don't plan on leaving anytime soon because my heart is where they've chosen to reside. There are those days where I debate with myself weather or not I should tell Jack about the way I feel, but then I remember that he may not feel the same away and that could lead to the end of our friendship that I treasure so very much.
I can't lose Jack, because if I lost Jack, I'd lose my one and only best friend; I can't allow that to happen. So I chose to not tell him, and have my feelings for him remain as a secret. Its not easy, that's for sure. But if not telling Jack means keeping him as my best friend, then I'll continue to hide my feelings for the sake of our friendship.
I let out a sigh before pushing myself up from the edge of my bed and made my way over to the window, picking up my acoustic Gibson guitar from the floor and a pick from the top dresser. I sat on the window seat and placed the guitar in my lap. I pressed my fingers onto the strings; strumming a slow and steady tune that I had memorized by heart now. I became one with the rhythm I controlled with my hands; I closed my eyes, and opened my mouth; ready to let the words pour out. You could be depressed, frustrated, angry---no matter what it may be; music is the cure for everything.
Maybe I'm your Mr. Right
Baby, maybe I'm the one you like
Maybe I'm a shot in the dark
And your the morning light
Woah
Maybe this is sad but true
Baby, maybe you've got nothing to lose
You could be the best of me
When I'm the worst for you
I sometimes wonder what it would be like if Jack were mine. I would remind him how beautiful he his, send him good morning and good night text messages, call him at random times to remind him just how much I love him. I would do anything just to make that boy happy and watch him smile. He has an amazing smile, and that laugh of his is like music to my ears. We could watch Home Alone as many times as he wants to and I wouldn't complain, because as long as I have Jack then there's nothing to complain about. To call Jack my boyfriend would be amazing, but sadly I can't; he's dating Kyle Burns. I never liked Kyle. Never did, never will! But Jack tells me that he makes him happy, and that's all that matters, right? .........I just wish I was the one who made Jack happy.
I stood up from the window seat, placing my guitar against the wall when suddenly there was a knock at the door."Coming!" I yelled, as I left my room and walked down the hall towards the front door. I unlocked the door and my heart broke from what I saw in front of me; a crying Jack. "K-Kyle broke up with me." He said sniffling, while wiping at the tears that continued to slide down his cheeks with the sleeve of his sweater. I ushered him inside and told him to go wait for me in the living room. As he walked inside, I closed the door and locked it; while I went over the plans inside my head on how I should kill Kyle Burns for breaking my baby's heart.
I walked into the living room and sat down next to him on the couch. "Do you want to talk about it?" I asked, placing my hand on his shoulder and squeezing it gently. He nodded slowly before taking a deep breath, "He-he said that he doesn't love me anymore, a-and that he's found someone else." He sniffled; his gaze traveling down onto his lap. "I-I thought he was my Mr. Right.....but I guess I was wrong." He said; his voice breaking a bit. I lifted his chin so he'd look at me. "You know he's lucky that he met someone like you," I began, bringing my hands up to cup his face; caressing his cheeks with my fingertips before adding, "but he wasn't the one for you." I said, earning a small smile from the beautiful boy who sat in front of me.
"Thanks Nick." he said while looking up at me, that smile still not falling from his lips; that same smile that has caused my heart to skip a beat for years now. We gazed into each others eyes for what felt like an eternity. I smiled shyly; those deep almond colored eyes. He truly is beautiful. I felt my cheeks heat up as my eyes fell upon his lips; his lips looked so soft.
"Jack," I started; Jack's almond colored eyes were still locked with my own; I was lost in those eyes of his. And before I could stop myself---I leaned forward closing my eyes and gently capturing Jack's lips with my own in a sweet kiss, causing Jack to gasp in surprise; but soon responded to the kiss and began to slowly close his eyes. As the kiss depended, my arms found their way around Jack's neck and his were wrapped around my waist pulling me closer towards him until there was no more space between us; our chest touching. Jack soon ended the kiss; we both parted grasping for air. I lifted a hand to caress his cheek and he smiled a genuine smile; grabbing my other hand and lacing our fingers together. I returned his smile, looking directly into Jack's eyes with a loving gaze before saying, "Maybe I'm your Mr. Right." I smiled fondly at the older boy before capturing his lips in another sweet kiss. I felt a spark of electricity from his touch; I never felt this way about another and it was amazing. Once we finally pulled apart, Jack wrapped his arms around my waist, nuzzling his nose into the crook of my neck. "Maybe your the one I've been searching for." he whispered before pecking my lips softly.
Right now, I couldn't be anymore happier.
