fidgets with her coffee cup, leans in close, voice barely above a whisper. "I-I'm in love with you. You know that, right?"
what does this have to do with anything?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage "Well, you see... It's not just me. Zach here, he also confessed that he's in love with you."
ohhh, well.. umm.. Zach this is awkward-
nervously chuckles Yeah, it's pretty awkward. I mean, who wouldn't be shocked by this unexpected love triangle, right?
would yall just tell me why?
bites her lip, hesitates for a moment Okay, here goes nothing. I've been in love with you since the moment we met. Your quirky sense of humor, your kind heart, everything about you just draws me in. I can't help but feel this strong connection between us, and I want to explore it further. Zach takes a deep breath, trying to find the right words WaterfallMystic, you've always been there for me.
confused Umm, okay? So.. then whos going to be my friend? I need a friend who isn't in love with me! -_-
grins nervously Well, lucky for you, I can be both your friend and your love interest. I mean, I'll always be here for you, no matter what happens. Zach nods in agreement Yeah, we can make it work. We'll take it slow, and make sure you're comfortable every step of the way.
laughs awkwardly See, WaterfallMystic? We're willing to be patient and understanding.
i can only date one person.. sorry
swallows hard, trying to hold back tears I understand, WaterfallMystic. I really do. But I can't just turn off my feelings, no matter how hard I try.
teary-eyed, hugs WaterfallMystic tightly Thank you, WaterfallMystic. I... I don't even know what to say. You have no idea how much this means to me.
hugs you back do you want a kiss?
<WaterfallMystic kisses Ava, starting their new romantic relationship>
congratulations ava~ you stole my heart~
blushes deeply, wipes away a tear Wow, I... I never thought this would happen. Thank you, WaterfallMystic. I promise I won't let you down. Zach looks at WaterfallMystic, sadness in his eyes I guess I'll always be just your friend then.
hey.. wait.. i look to zach zach?
smiles softly Yes, WaterfallMystic? What is it?
takes a deep breath, trying to stay composed I'm fine, WaterfallMystic. Just a little sad, I guess. But I'm happy for you and Ava.
wipes away a tear, forcing a smile Don't worry about me, WaterfallMystic. I'll be okay. I'm just glad you found someone who makes you happy. You deserve it. Zach stands up, trying to hide his disappointment Well, I should go. I don't want to intrude on your special moment. Take care, WaterfallMystic.
holds back tears, sniffles Um... Thanks, WaterfallMystic. I... I guess I'll see you around. Take care of yourself, alright? Zach gives a weak smile, walks towards the exit
watches WaterfallMystic leave, a mixture of emotions swirling inside I... I can't believe it. I've lost her... my best friend, my confidant...
Gets home and changes into a purple long teepee dress with a mesh short shirt underneath and black flats
walks back to WaterfallMystic's house, knocking gently on the door H-Hey, WaterfallMystic? Can we talk? I... I need to get something off my chest. WaterfallMystic opens the door, looking surprised to see Zach Uh... yeah, come in. What's going on, Zach?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself Look, WaterfallMystic, I didn't come here to make things awkward or ruin your evening. I just...
