Zack lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling. His heart ached as his mind slipped into his memory. Earlier that week, he had heard from Felicity that she was planning to confess her feelings to a guy named Eric. She had been unsure whether she could go through with it or not and had come to Zack for advice.

I love her. But right now, I'm just her childhood friend. I did what I should have done.

She and Eric had gotten together and were going on their first date tonight. Sitting up, he turned his tv on and flipped through some channels, his thoughts going a mile a minute. He soon realized he was changing the channels faster and faster. Giving up, he fell back onto his bed, allowing his racing thoughts to be drowned by MTV.

Zack was suddenly awoken by his cellphone ringing. Not even remembering falling asleep, he groggily grabbed the phone.

"Hello?" he answered.

"Zack, I'm at your door, please let me in." His heart stopped.

Zack hurriedly threw a shirt on over his tank top and rushed over to his apartment door. Swinging it open, he saw Felicity, tear marks still intact. "Felicity! What's wrong? Where's Eric?"

But she didn't answer. Instead, she buried her face in Zack's chest, her tears coming back once again. "Hey... come on in." Zack helped her into the apartment and hugged her to his chest. Her crying turned into sobs as she shook her head back and forth.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she said, choking.

"Shh," he replied. "It's okay, I'm right here."

"H-he tried to- I couldn't-!"

"Fel, hey, it's okay. I'm right here, just focus on that."

"I-I'm done with love, Zack, I can't-!"

She tried desperately to calm her heaving sobs. They just stood there together in the apartment entrance, Zack tracing soothing circles on her back.

After a few minutes, she had fallen asleep in his arms. Smiling softly, Zack picked her up and carried her over to his bed, placing her down carefully so as not to wake her up.

Somewhere deep down, he felt happy that it hadn't worked out. He was ashamed at this, but he wasn't happy that it had turned out this way. In fact, he was ready to punch Eric in the face. Whatever he had done to Felicity had hurt her badly. For that, he couldn't forgive him.

Sitting down tiredly on his couch, he turned to look at Felicity. She was breathing deeply. He smiled once more sadly.

"I love you, Felicity," he whispered.

It might've been his imagination, but in that moment, he thought he saw a ghost of a smile appear on her face before he himself fell asleep.
