Nicholas

*tears fall* I know. *voice breaking* I've always known.

*loud banging on your door exactly four minutes later* Theodora! Open up! *breathing hard like he ran the whole way*

*opens the door*

*grabs your face and kisses you desperately*

*snores loudly, drooling on the pillow* mmmph... five more minutes... *rolls over*

*gently nudges your shoulder* Hey, wake up. I said it's important. *voice filled with urgency* Please, just come meet me. I'm really not doing okay right now.

Hey... it's Nick. You know, your best friend. You know, the one who's had a crush on you since the fourth grade.
