CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE-2

“No, Hailey. He doesn’t think we should ruin a great chemistry with the messiness of a relationship.

He doesn’t want the complications or drama, and said that we should just have fun, and keep it casual. And maybe he’s right. It would be better for us both if we didn’t ruin the great thing we had,

and keep it simple.”

“Well, only you can decide what’s best for you. But the thing is, is this casual and fun what you

want, or is there more? What is it that you want?”

“You know me so well, and I’m not afraid to admit that I’ve caught feelings. I know, stupid, right? The one time I decided to not follow my heart and take a chance, is the one time that I caught feelings and ended up in this position. But the person I’m dealing with here, is scared of commitment, and is a player, and is not a forever type of guy. So, the only way this can work is if I can keep my feelings and emotions locked up and not let him know how I really feel. The thing is, if he’s not willing to make an effort and make a move, then that’s his answer and maybe this is a sign and the universe is telling me that it’s not meant to be, and I should just accept the truth.”

“That’s one hell of a decision to make. I wish I had the answers and the perfect solution. But are you sure you don’t want to take the leap and just tell him how you feel? Maybe if he knows, then the whole situation will change. Maybe he is waiting for the right time, or a sign. If the attraction and the chemistry is there, then why not give it a shot and see what happens?”

“Hailey, the problem is, the last thing I want is to complicate things and make the whole situation messy and uncomfortable. I would not be able to handle his rejection, or the humiliation, or the embarrassment. And the way I feel right now, I would probably not be able to just stay casual, or friends with him. This would ruin our friendship, and I don’t want to lose him. I don’t know what to

do, and I can’t decide.”

“You have a lot to think about. But the most important question is, do you want him? Do you want more, or are you satisfied with the current arrangement, and being just friends?”

“I want him, but I have to let him go. For the sake of my sanity.”

“Okay, but the decision is yours. Only you can make the call and decide what’s best. You need to weigh the pros and cons, and think about what will work for you. Because, the point is, will this be

enough? Are you willing to have a piece of him, and nothing more, or is the idea of walking away

too painful and hard to do?”

“It’s a little of both. I guess the biggest question is, is he worth the risk? Is it worth taking a chance

and letting my guard down, or is it better to walk away and save myself the pain and suffering?”

“There’s no right or wrong answer, Val. The only thing you can do is follow your heart. If you feel

that the risk is worth it, then go for it, but if not, then don’t. There’s no wrong or right decision. Only you can decide what’s best.”

She gave me a small smile, and sighed.

“I think this is what I want, Hailey. The last thing I want is to be with a person who is scared of commitment and has no interest in a serious relationship. The whole point was to have fun and not complicate things. Maybe this is for the best. If he doesn’t feel the same way, or is not interested in

a relationship, then what’s the point?”

“Then there’s no point.”

“I’m sorry to dump this on you, when you’re dealing with a lot yourself.”

“Val, don’t ever apologize. You’re my best friend, and I would do anything for you. And if you ever need to talk, I’m here. But, Val, don’t lose hope. I know it’s scary and seems like a dead end, but the reality is, there’s always a chance and a possibility. Just hang in there and see what happens. But the thing is, the ball is in your court, and the decision is yours.”

I pulled her into a hug and held her.

We stayed like that for a moment, and then she laid down next to me. We slept in each other’s arms, and even though I wanted to take the pain and the sadness away, there was nothing I could

My heart ached for her, and I couldn’t help but think how the tables have turned, and our roles were

reversed.

A month ago, she was the one helping me pick up the pieces, and now here she was, in pain and dealing with her own situation.

Life was indeed a bitch.
