Mind reader.

A Story by Jess Holden

"Wait, I love you!" I wanted to scream out, running into your arms.

You'd laugh and say "I'll be back soon." but soon wouldn't be soon enough.

I'd be missing you even when you'd be beside me, making me smile. I'd be missing you no matter what happened, or whoever came between us. Nothing would change this feeling that I have.

Nothing.

I was starting to wonder if this was a good thing, or a bad thing. I think I have some kind of mental disorder, constantly craving the drug that is your presence.

I was afraid of this; is this love? Is this the inevitable fate that has been screwing with my mind and emotions? Or is this just me being a stupid teenage girl, looking for what all those Disney movies talk about? That 'prince charming,' or 'the one.'

Right now, I don't care.

It's not what I want, a relationship that is. I want a friend that I love without being stuck between a rock and a hard place. This is why I love the relationship we have; no strings, nothings solid, just happiness. I wish that I could just tell him how I feel, without the chance of losing our friendship.

I need help with this.
