Tim never really bothered me about Jaiden, well at least not as much as Adam did. But one day he did something that I'll never get over.

It was summer, and we all hated the heat as usual. I'd spent most of my summer inside, because why go out and get a heat stroke? Well, until Tim asked me to come over to his house. I thought nothing of it, and just packed a few things and headed over. But what he didn't tell me was that he'd also invited Jaiden too, and she was already there.

There's obviously not a problem with that, but Tim didn't seem like himself. I don't quite know what was off about him but something was and I didn't like it. All three of us sat around his dining table drinking lemonade and having a great conversation about the creation of pink lemonade. But, eventually, Tim started talking about how he really wanted a girlfriend. This girl Susie really liked him, and Jaiden was trying to make Tim believe this for about half an hour. Eventually Jaiden had convinced Tim to go into the other room and call Susie to ask her out. He ended up leaving a voicemail.

But while he was out of the room, it felt so awkward just sitting with Jaiden in complete silence. I wanted to say something, but all I could think about weren't necessarily good topics. She broke the silence though, and I swear this had to be the most stressful moment of my life.

She asked me if there was anyone that I liked.

I ever so slyly said that I'd spill the beans if she spilled hers, but the moment I said that she almost looked a little worried. I wonder if she's hiding something from me...

Neither of us spilled the beans that day, but I was absolutely okay with that.

But that's not the end of the day; Jaiden had to go home early. So, it was just me and Tim for a couple hours.

Tim spent a long time talking about how excited he was to be with Susie, he'd liked her for a long time, but neither of them could manage to tell each other how they really felt. After he'd told me all about how pretty her eyes were, he asked me a question.

And that question was what Jaiden and I even talked about while he was out of the room.

I told him that we didn't talk about much; I was simply asked if I was interested in anyone.

Tim seemed a little excited about that.

He asked so many questions, did I tell her? What did she say? Did she already know?

To which I answered honestly, disappointing him.

But then he asked me when I would spill, I told him never, to which he asked 'why?'

I told him all my anxieties, what would she do? Would she want to see me again? Would our friendship die? She's my best friend; I don't want to mess up something as great as getting to see her almost every day because I told her that.

Tim said that I don't have to worry about any of those things. That I wouldn't mess anything up if I let her know, and I'd never find out how she really felt if I didn't stop being a wuss and just tell her.

He said that if I didn't tell her by the end of the month he'd tell her himself when I expected it the least.

That was the day I got my little push.
