I like you.

I am beautiful, after all.

Hello, rejection.

Finn | 5:39 P.M.

[ DRAFT - Alex Del Vecchio are you actually kidding me? I've been liking you since our second conversation. You've been there for me everytime I needed help, you are by far the funniest and fantastic person I've met in my whole life. And you think I'll reject you? You're so beautiful and just amazing to the point where I'm scared that you'll reject me-]

Alex | 5:39 P.M.

Finn? You still there?

Alex | 5:39 P.M.

If you are, I'm here to say...

Alex | 5:39 P.M.

Alex | 5:40 P.M.

Hello?

Alex | 5:40 P.M.

I hope this didn't ruin our friendship :(

•••

"I HOPE THIS DIDN'T RUIN OUR FRIENDSHIP."

Friendship.

Such a simple word.

Then why does Finn feel like his heart and soul have both been crushed, reading that word?

He clicked on the 'Delete' button once more.

This time, he didn't linger on the no button.
