Tom and you have been friends since little, it was obvious that you both loved each other too much, but maybe you loved him in a different way. When you grew up you realized your feelings, you loved him, not only as a friend, but also as something more.

Sometimes you felt like he was flirting back, giving you his sweater, giving you compliments while brushing a lock of hair behind your ear and giving you that damn-charming smile

But there was one detail: Heather

Tom always talked about her, how beautiful her hair was, how sweet her perfume was and how tempting the lipstick she used was.

Even though you tried, you couldn't compete with her, you couldn't help but compare yourself every time you were talking to Tom and he looked at her in a daze when she walked nearby, you wondered what you were missing? If it was you who had been there always, she wasn't.

—"She's so pretty, you know? Like no other girl.."—

You heard his murmur for the fifth time that day as she walks by.
