Gemini's POV

Rise and shine to me! The movie last night at Cancer's was pretty great. It got me distracted of what I was really thinking about. Pisces. As soon as I woke up, I checked my phone. A message from Cancer, message from Aqua, but no message from Pisces. Knowing that I broke Pisces' heart makes me sad. I never wanted to hurt him. Or anybody. I wish he could've just told me how he felt before kissing me unexpectedly. I decided not to tell anyone about the situation. Not because I'm embarassed about it, but because I don't know if Pisces is.

He was quiet ever since I told him we were friends. Seeing that he was on a verge of tears made me want to cry more. I hurt him. He usually cries, but seeing him struggle because he didn't want to cry in front of me broke my heart even more. He couldn't even look at me! I hope he's not mad at me. He's a really sweet guy. He's really cute too. I just thought that we were friends. Best friends even. I ignore Cancer's and Aqua's message and decided to check on him.

Pi 🐟

G: Hey, Pi. I'm really sorry about yesterday. Please message me back.

I sighed and threw myself back in the bed I was sitting up in. Now I just have to wait. I waited for a long 30 minutes and there was still no reply. I even went on Instagram to see if he was on it. He hasn't been on since yesterday. The last thing he posted was a picture of us when we were walking together. It pains me seeing how happy he was and knowing I was the one to end that. I just feel so guilty.

I got up and took a shower. I tried to forget the fact that I could ever hurt somebody I love. Pisces was my friend, and I really hope that can remain. When I finished taking my shower, I wrapped myself up in a blue towel. My hair was wet and of course my body was. I checked my phone before drying off and there was still no reply. I frowned at my phone and dropped it on the sink. I quickly dried myself off and changed into some clothes. I was wearing a white sweater, regular navy blue jeans, and tan boots. After I got dressed, I got my car keys and left.

Finally! I reached my destination! I look at my phone before I left my car. Still no reply. I got out my car and walked up to the door. I called Pisces on my phone and it went straight to voicemail. I then knocked on the door until a brown, long-haired boy opened it. He looked so shocked to see me. He had on a gray t-shirt and white sweatpants. He didn't have anything on his feet except for white socks.

"What are you doing here?" Pisces says to me still shocked and running his fingers through his hair.

I force a smile. "Can I come in?"

He still held the door open and walked out of the way so that I had enough space to walk through it. He then closed the door behind him still looking at me. I take a seat on the couch.

"We need to talk," I start by saying. I waited for him to say something, but he didn't so I just continued. "I'm still so sorry, Pi. I didn't want to hurt your feelings or anything I swear that wasn't my intention and-"

"I know, Gem," he said to me. He then sat down in a chair across from me.

I turned my head to the side still looking at him. "Wait, what?"

"I know you didn't mean to hurt me. You can't help it that you don't feel the same way I feel about you. It's not fair. For any of us. I'm sorry I couldn't talk after you... well... rejected me yesterday. I tried, but I just couldn't," he explained.

"I know, Pi, I know. I'm just so sorry. I really hope you can forgive me," I say giving an innocent look.

"I can't forgive you because there's nothing to be sorry for. You didn't do anything wrong." He lowered his head, "I did."

I got up and sat beside him and hugged him. "Pi, you didn't do anything wrong. You're a great guy and I'm glad to call you my best friend. I'm sorry if it felt like I led you on or something. I just want us to be cool again."

He broke off our hug and we looked at each other. I can still tell he has a lot of feelings for me still by the way he looked at me. I didn't know if it was a mistake for me to come or not. This is probably the most selfish thing I have ever done. Maybe he needed closure from me, but I just reminded him I'm still here. Me. The girl who broke his heart. It's so selfish how I showed up trying to conceal my own guilt.

"We'll always be cool, Gem," he said actually smiling. I kept searching his face for any signs. His smile was genuine. He was happy I was here. I hugged him and almost cried out of happiness.

"Yeah. We will."

We were hugging for a few moments. When Pisces wrapped his arms around me, I could tell he wanted this. He wanted to still be with me. I broke off the hug as soon as I realized it. I was being friendly, but I didn't want him to think I was still leading him on. That's why I kind of changed the subject.

"Why didn't you replied to any of my messages or calls?"

Pisces ran his fingers through his hair and gestured his other thumb to his room. "It's dead. I didn't charge it at all."

Because of me. The guilt still overwhelms me. But I guess that explains why it went straight to voicemail.

"Gemini, not to sound rude or anything," he said, scaring me of what he was going to say next, "but I think we need some time apart."

I knew it. This time my heart broke. Why did I have to break his heart? Why did he grow feelings for me? I didn't want this. But he needed it. And that's exactly what I'll do. For him. My best friend.

I forced a smile that wasn't so convincing. "Yeah, okay. I get it."

"No hard feelings though, Gem. I'll talk to you every once in a while. It's just that... I'm still in love with you. And I just need some time to get over you. So everything can be back to normal again. For us," he says to me holding my hand.

By the way he was holding it, I could see he didn't want to let go. I didn't want to let go either. Not because I like him, but because I still feel guilty and I wanted him to know I was here for him. As his friend. But having some time apart is the least I can do for my friend.

"Best friends still?" I say fighting back tears.

"Always. I promise," he says to me with the happiest smile trying to cheer me up too.

I nodded while looking at him. A strand of my hair came to my face as I nodded, so I pulled it back quickly. "I'll see you around, Pi."

"See ya, Gem," he said back.

I started to walk to the door. Every step I took walking away from him made me want to cry like crazy. I couldn't cry. Yet. I just have to live with the guilt of breaking my best friend's heart. I just really hope everything will be back to normal again. Maybe one day.
