Chapter 3

"Ryan?" I was shocked to see Ryan at my door in the middle of the night. He just kept looking at me. "I thought about it a lot. And may be Eric isn't the perfect guy for you. I am the one who loves you. And I deserve you." I didn't know what to say. It was getting so difficult for me to respond. He came closer to me. "Don't you feel the same for me?" His voice was so soft that I could barely hear him. "I..I don't know.." That was the only thing that came out from my mouth. He cupped my face and looked straight into my eyes. "Face it, Jenna. You love me! You just won't admit it."

"No! I love Eric and I can never deceive him." I backed away from him. "Then I guess I should leave. Good bye Jenna. I promise you, I will never trouble you again." And then he was going. Going away from me. I walked towards him but then suddenly he was gone. Gone. I hurried downstairs but he wasn't even there. I searched and searched but he was not found anywhere. I could feel my heart pounding faster than ever. "Ryan!" I cried his name as loud as I could. How can he just go away from my life like that? No he can't! "Ryan! Please don't go." I cried. He didn't come back. I fell on my knees on the middle of the dark road. He is gone and he will never come back. Never. "Ryaaan!"

"Jenna! Hey!" I opened my eyes and it was Abbie. I quickly wiped off the tears. I took a deep breath and looked at Abbie who was standing right in front of me. And I was on my bed! On my bed! "Oh my God! Please don't tell me that I was yelling his name in my sleep!" I knew I was panting but still I had to talk. "Okay I will never tell you that you were crying and yelling Ryan's name and asking him to come back." I whimpered and put the blanket over my head.

"Okay. Now this is awkward." I heard her say. I got up and threw away the blanket. "Why did you come here?" Now I was feeling really awkward. I was yelling all those things in front of my best friend. "What is that supposed to mean?" She crossed her arms. "I mean that was supposed to be a private moment."

She raised her eyebrows. "Oh, no no! It wasn't that private. Your lips weren't puckering at all. I swear." She chuckled. "Stop it okay!" I threw the pillow at her which I was holding. She ducked. "Okay I'll stop. Now get ready we are already late for school!" She said. Yeah! I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. "I'll be waiting downstairs." Abbie told. "Yeah I'll be fast." I called out from the bathroom. "Ah ah. Not fast, super-fast."

"Why were you crying his name?" Abbie asked. I knew she will ask that. "You just concentrate on the driving. I'll tell you in school." I didn't really wanted to talk about it. "No it's not a problem. I am a multi-tasker. I can listen and drive at the same time. What an amazing talent isn't it?"

"Fine! I'll tell you." I told her everything that I remembered it. "And you still think you don't have feelings for him?" She was serious now. I sighed. I don't know what I am feeling right now. I just know that it's the worst feeling on Earth. "It's guilt not love." I finally decided what feeling it was. I hope I was right. "And that's why you were so scared of losing him?" Again the memory of that dream flashed through my mind. No no no! I can't even stand the thought of him going away from me. "It's not love. It's just guilt because he loves me and I don't love him." I told her again. "You are trying to convince me or yourself?" I didn't reply her back, instead just sat there in silence.

"Look, I am sorry. I know it's your life and I shouldn't interfere like this, but I care for you and that's why I am telling you this." I looked at her. "No. Abbie you are my best friend and you have the right to tell me what you feel about all this. But I don't wanna think about all this. Please don't question me about it." How can I fall for Ryan? He is Eric's best friend. This will ruin their friendship. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have spent so much time with Ryan. But I did it because I liked being with him. He makes me feel so special. And it was just friendship and nothing else. I can't be falling for him.

"Okay fine. End of topic. But don't think that its "illegal" to fall for Ryan just because he is Eric's best friend!" I know she doesn't like Eric at all. She just told he is good because she wanted to make me happy. She was upset with Eric because of what he did with Katherine. Katherine is also a very close friend of us. Abbie thinks Eric took her for granted. He kept ignoring her because he knew she will still love him. But he was wrong. She moved on and she is in a perfect relationship with Jack. But I think she still has something for him. And I don't really think Eric did that to her. I guess he was ignoring her because he was in love with me.

Eric was near his car waiting for me. I noticed that Ryan wasn't there. We went to him and he hugged me. "What took you so long?" He asked me. I was thinking what to say when Abbie spoke. "She was having a "private" dream." She said. I pinched her hand. "Was it about me?" Eric asked looking at me. I opened my mouth to say something and again Abbie interrupted. "You were the main reason behind the conversation, so technically the dream was about you." Now she was being mean.

" Hey Abbie!! I was waiting for you! Why are you so late?" Steve joined us. He is tall and handsome and perfect for Abbie. We have been friends since childhood and I never thought they would turn out to be a pair. A perfect pair.

"It's all because of her." She said pointing towards me. "She was busy having a "private" dream with her matchmaker-turned-perfect match." Steve chuckled. Of course he didn't know what she meant but it's his habit. He laughs when Abbie tries to irritate me. He really adores our friendship. "Hey Ric, where is Ryan?" Thank God Steve asked him that. I was getting so anxious to know about him. "He is in the class."

We all entered the class. Abbie and I went to our seats. "Hey Ryan! Can you give me your seat?" I heard Eric say to Ryan. He looked at him. "Yeah sure." They exchanged their seats. Throughout the class, Eric was teasing me and trying to make me laugh. But I noticed just one thing. Ryan wasn't the same now. He has changed. Now I know how much I miss his teasing and stupid pranks on me. I wish if I could bring back our old times. It was so much fun.

When the bell rang, he stood up and went without giving a glance at me. I hate being ignored. "What's up with Ryan?" I heard Dennis asking Eric. "I seriously have no idea. He is behaving really strange." Eric replied. I could feel the concern in his voice.

"Hey Jen, here is the prom invitation." Olivia handed over an invitation card to us. She is the only one who calls me "Jen". She told she really likes that name. "Its on next week." I told Abbie. I know how much she was excited about the prom. "And the theme is Royal Ball! OMG! I am so excited!" She said in excitement.

PS- This update was about Jenna's feelings for Ryan and it was all about Jenna. So it had to be short. Sorry. But next time more drama will be there😉
