honestly you loved Jake, why didn't you confess then? Because you didn't want to give up this friendship

Your friendship was something you cherished deeply and you couldn't risk losing it over a silly crush

and Jake? Maybe everything he did had a meaning, maybe you were just convincing yourself that he didn't like you because you were scared to figure out the truth and didn't want to assume things

you tried moving on but how could you? Especially when he did things like this.

he insisted you came to the beach with him this afternoon, he didn't care what you said. So obviously, you went without a second thought

was it a bad idea if you're trying to move on? Probably. And still you were walking with him, listening to whatever he was going on about

but suddenly he stopped, leaning down and picking a flower from the ground. He turned to look at you

"here, it's a flower. For you"

you were surprised, but you just stood there trying to get your heart back to its normal rythym

"I'm serious, take it" he pouted
