Hey guys! I haven't posted something in a long time! Anyways, I got a apt of inspiration today and Jist had to write it down. This is my first short story. It's probably really short and sketchy, and probably not too good, but hey I like it. Anyways, enjoy and rip it apart!

There he stands, smiling at me, but I don't want to smile back. I still manage to smile genuinely at him though. I make another sarcastic remark and he laughs, his brown eyes shining. Oh, how I loved- use to love- those eyes. They were big and long lashed and everytime I looked into them I would drown in the browness of them. How many times had he looked at me with love in his eyes, meanwhile it was a lie? I couldn't guess because I didn't know when he started to fall for her.
"So, how's you're brother?" He asks me. All I do is stare at him blankly because I can't manage anything else. No one has asked me about my brother.
"He...he died...a month ago." I managed out. I felt the burning sensation in my nose, letting me know I was on the verge of tears.
His face turned weary.
"I'm sorry...I- I didn't mean to-"
"It's okay, you didn't know." I couldn't look at him. I couldn't face him. I didn't want to see his eyes show sympathy towards me, it would give me hope.
"Lilah? Look at me please?" I saw him shift his weight. He always moved around when he felt uncomfortable. I felt a ping of pain. How could he feel uncomfortable around me? We had seen each other at our worst.
He lifts his hand up to my chin and lifts my eyes to his. All I see is compassion and sympathy. No, I thought, No please don't do this to me.
"If you ever need me, I'm hear for you. You know that right?" He asked. Of course I knew that, how could I not? I didn't want to go to him for anything though. I would get my hopes up, thinking that maybe, just maybe, he may love me again.
"No, stop. Please don't do this, Aaron. We have to let each other go." I answered. My hands were shaking. His hand dropped to his side, while backing away from me.
"Gosh! Why do you do this to me?! You act like we are fine all the time and now you don't want me to be in your life? Why can't you accept that I actually do care for you, no matter what?" Aaron ruffled his light brown locks.
"It hurts too much. I can't be in your life while you're with her and I know you guys are going to be together forever, or at least a long time. I see the way you look at each other, love just flowing between you guys. I want you guys to be happy, I really do, but I can't handle this anymore because behind my smiles I'm dying inside. It hurts too much to see you love someone other than me." My whole body was shaking now.
"I'm sorry, Lilah, I'm so, so sorry. I love her though, very much." He answered, coming towards me. He tries to put his arms around me, but I back away. I shake my head back and forth.
I force a smile as I say, " Do me a favor? Just treat each other well. You both deserve the best."
"Hey, guys. What are you doing?" I turn around, keeping my smile plastered, because I know who it is, it's my best friend, Elizabeth. She looks beautiful as always. Her blond hair flowing behind her, her blue eyes shining as she gets closer to Aaron.
"Nothing, just talking about the after parties were going to now that graduation is finally over." I reply. She smiles at me. All I see is a friendly love towards me. I've been her best friend since first grade, when I kicked a bully in the shin. We are complete opposites. She is graceful and gentle and I am fierce and straight forward.
Elizabeth finally reaches Aaron and they embrace, an invisible force field of love surrounding them. I can't help but stare and become jealous.
"I need to go. Got to go get ready for the parties." I try to sound as joyful as possible. They both look at me. I walk over and give them hugs and hold on tight because I know this is the last time I'll ever see them.
I won't be going to any parties and I was going to a different college than them. This truly was the last time I'd see them.
"Yeah, we should probably get going too." Aaron replies. Elizabeth gives me one last hug. They start walking down the hallway towards one of the exits. They're holding hands, and as they're walking I can't help but see the diamond ring glinting off of the lights on Elizabeth's left hand.
I feel a tear stream down my face and feel my heart break into a million tiny pieces.
