There must have been some sort of misunderstanding cause why was your best friend, guy who you have had a crush on for years, was in front of your door breathless. He looked like he had just run from the school to your house, your door was also still in tact for a miracle after how hard he knocked, but the most weird things was his expression, he looked terrified.

“What do you mean you quit?” he says, the pain clear in his voice

“uh that i quit the homework?” you say confused “weren’t we talking about that?”

“uh? the hom- oh right but that was hours ago! you sent the message now” he says

“yeah because i was trying to figure it out but i can’t” you say

he seems to relax a little “i though you were gonna do something to yourself” he says grabbing you softly by the shoulders “never scare me again like that, i can’t lose you” he says now resting his head on your shoulder, trying to steady his breath

‘oh’ you thought, ever since you’ve been depressed, which happened a lot of time ago because of your parents’ death, he always worried about you even if you’re doing way better now and are actually happy

you smile patting his back “didn’t mean to scare you that much” you say “sorry”

“no seriously promise, you will never try, i can’t live without you i love you” he says gripping your shoulders with a little more force, but not in a way it would have hurt

that cause you to freeze, did he just say what you think he said?
