Be Like You

You would be surprised how long someone can have a glaring competition, it feels like an eternity but I know if I looked at the time right now only a short span of minutes have passed by.

Harry insisting that I open my Christmas present, but of course me refusing it due to the fact that it would make me acknowledge the fact that it meant I would be leaving soon, and that just wasn’t okay with me.

Over that past few days, I’d come to terms on how I really felt about Harry. And even though I wasn't willing to bring up the topic because of my fear of our relationship being flushed down the drain; I’d rather just be his best friend than be nothing else.

“Will you just open it?” he complained putting the box back in my hands, “Open it”.

Rolling my eyes I took the box, shredding the wrapping paper and wasting no time as I opened the box, only to shriek and tackle Harry to the floor once I saw what was in it. “I love it”
I chanted repeatedly as I hugged him, only to realize our positions after I looked into his eyes.

Somehow he had ended on top of me, both his arms around me supporting his weight. Our eye contact didn’t change as we just stared into each other’s eyes for the longest time. “Let me try something” he murmured, our faces close enough that his breath hit my face and a shiver ran through me.

Scrunching my face up in confusion as he leaned down it dawned on me that he was going to kiss me, part of me wanted it so badly while the other knew better. Being selfish I met him halfway, and what was supposed to be an innocent short kiss turned into the best few minutes of my life as our lips fit perfectly against each other, our hands roaming each other’s body.

Harry was the one to pull away, making me pout as he got off me and sat up, helping me to do so after, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that”. Those few simple words were a blow to me as I looked away from him; I knew our friendship was ruined. It would never be the same
and I couldn’t help but let tears form.

“Why are you crying?” Harry’s hand caressed my cheek, holding me in place as I tried to look away.

“Everything’s going to change now. We can’t go back to how we used to be, not when we now there’s something there” I murmured looking at him.

He chuckled, “I want there to be something, I just don’t know where you stand”.

I smiled, “But there’s the distance” I reminded him.

“We can look past this; it’s the fact that we feel this way towards each. Everyone always say best friends always end up together. At least let us see if it’s the same for us” he urged.

Nodding I agreed on his thoughts, “Let’s just see how the next few days go, the day before I’m supposed to leave we can decide where to take this.”
