CRUSHES

I was hanging out with my friends when I overheard my crush saying how he was going to ask out another girl. I was heartbroken, but managed to hold it together and pretend like everything was OK. But as the night went on, it got harder and harder to hide that I was upset. Eventually, my crush pulled me aside and asked if something was wrong. I told him I was fine, but he didn't believe me and said, "Why don't we go for a walk?" We went for a walk around the block, and ended up talking about other things going on in my life that I'd been keeping to myself. Although I didn't get up the courage to tell him why I was really upset, his compassion and sweetness meant a lot to me.
