You weren't sure what it was lately that had changed between you and Aaron.

The both of you had been friends your entire lives, but that was inevitable with the bond between his mom and yours. Each and every summer you two went to his families lake house, with both your family and his.

But lately, it has been different. Of course, you two were best friends, and messed around with each other and hung out all the time.

Yet, there has been this thickness in the air. Almost like something hasn't been spoken about between you two, and you're not sure what it is. Each and every time you were around him, you almost felt.. sick.

He hasn't felt it, though. He has no idea you're feeling this way.

One day, after he was finished training for his football team, you surprised him with ice cream. As he walked out of the locker room, you stood there, smiling as you held two ice creams.

"Hey." He smiles, wrapping one arm around you for a few seconds in a half-hug as his free hand takes an ice cream. "I didn't think I'd be seeing you until next week."

Next week was the first week of summer, AKA, when you two head to his family lake house. You watched him intently as he placed his helmet down, and there came that sickly feeling again.

Why is this happening?? All of the years you have known him, and you're only getting this recently.
