"You have to tell me about Robin." Gwenny said excitedly.

"Well what do you wanna know?" I asked with a laugh.

"Did you kiss him like you said you would?"

"I did. Actually technically he kissed me." She squealed in excitement and smiled. It made me feel so happy to talk about Robin. Even just the thought of him filled me up with joy.

𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗻'𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩:

Me and Finn were sleeping over at my house for the night. I guess Gwen was at Lina's so Finn wanted to stay at my place. My dad was sleeping while me and Finn were in the living room.

"She's perfect Finn. She's everything I've ever wanted." I said, pacing the room. Finn was sitting on the couch listening to me talk about Alina.

"So then what's the problem?" He asked.

"I'm afraid she doesn't like me as much as I like her." I admitted. I hated talking about my feelings but Finn was my best friend. I could trust him. Plus he always gave me the best advise.

"You're thinking about it too much. I can tell she likes you."

"I don't want her to think I'd do anything to hurt her. I miss her all the time man." I rubbed my face with my hands and sat down next to Finn. I wanted nothing more than Alina. I knew love wasn't the same as it was in movies or books. Love was hard. 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭 love was hard.

"She didn't even wanna tell me about the argument with Melissa. What if she doesn't trust me? I wanna make sure she knows she can come to me with anything." I said again.

"You have to trust that she'll come to you when she's ready. She's been through a lot you know." Finn said.

"You remember the fight I got in a couple days ago with Moose?" I asked Finn.

"Yeah?"

"He was sayin shit about Lina. He said she's a-" I couldn't even bring myself to say her name and the names that Moose called her in the same sentence. It made me feel sick to my stomach.

"He wouldn't stop talking about her like she was trash." I finally said. Finn had a disgusted look on his face. I knew he and Alina were close so Finn probably hated hearing all this.

"Know I understand why you beat him up." Finn said quietly.

"I needed to."

Alina deserved the world. In my eyes she's perfect. The only person that manages to make me feel so many things at once. When I'm with her I feel happy. I feel sad that she's afraid and I feel scared that something will happen to her. That's why I beat up Moose. Nobody will ever talk about her the way he did and get away with it.

Me and Finn sat quietly for a few minutes. I sighed and turned to Finn.

"I think I love her."

𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮'𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩:
"He's the most beautiful human being I've ever seen in my life and he's so good to me." I said, shoving some popcorn in my mouth.

"Then why do you sound so upset?"

"Because I'm afraid." I said quietly.

"What is there to be afraid of? Your relationship with Robin sounds perfect to me." Gwenny said. I sighed and threw my head back.

"I'm afraid he doesn't like me as much as I like him. I'm afraid I'll end up getting hurt or even worse, I'll hurt him." I said, rubbing my face in anger.

"I'm gonna tell you something and you can't tell anyone I told you this. Finney would kill me." Gwenny said. I sat up to listen to her.

"I hear Finney on the phone with Robin all the time. Sometimes Robin comes over and I hear them talking in Finney's room."

"What about it?" I asked in confusion. I don't see where she's going with this and why it's supposed to make me feel better.

"He always talks about you. Robin sounded so angry the other day. He told Finney that you got in an argument with Melissa and he wanted so bad to just take care of them." I smiled at the thought of Robin talking about me to Finn.

"I guess they're no better than we are." We both laughed. I get flustered thinking about Robin talking to Finn about me, but I do the same thing.

"He's always taking care of me and he's even getting along with my mom." Gwenny made a shocked face when I told her. Not even Gwen has met my mom before but she's definitely heard stories.

"Everyday's a dream with him. I feel like he knows me better than I do." I said, closing my eyes and smiling. I took a deep breath and looked over at Gwenny.

"Don't mess this up for yourself Lina. You deserve this." Gwen said. I was scared that I'd talk myself out of a relationship because I'm afraid. I don't want to be afraid to love. Whenever I'm with Robin I'm not, but when I'm away from him all my thoughts rush back to me.

"I just wish things were easy. That way I wouldn't feel like this. I feel horrible for holding back on us." I told Gwenny.

"I want the best for him."

"Then let yourself give him the best. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 are the best to him Alina." We sat for a couple minutes to think about the whole situation. I owed it to Robin to be a good girlfriend. I couldn't get him out of my head.

I turned the lights off and sat back down. Me and Gwen both laid down on the couch and I lowered the tv volume. We sat and watched the movie for a while longer. The thought finally slipped into my mind. Love.

"Do I dare say I love him."

Gwenny sat up to look at me and I sat up to look at her. She smiled and nodded her head.

"I think you do."
