Dear Crush
Season 2
Episode 14
"So Eston is now your boyfriend?" he faced me with a weak smile as we got to the basketball court.
"You know that" I nudge my shoulder.
"I guess I was late" He smiled a bit and sat close to me his rose cologne hiting my nostrils. But wait...what he said got to me, did he just say he was late? He wanted me?
"Janelle" he called and took my hand, I quickly yank his hands of mine. He was hurt, I could see it in his face. I mean so hurt.
"Janelle do you atleast wonder what we might have been if we had revealed our feelings to each other earlier?" he asked and took my hand again.
"Ryan"
"Please just allow me hold you" he pleaded.
"Stop it already Ryan am Eston's girlfriend remember?" I stood up.
"I know" he stood up as well "I cant betray a brother, but you are just to amazing to let go" he told me. My heart raced again, its been a while I felt that way, Dear Crush why are you doing this to me?
"Its too late Ryan, beside you once choose Natasha" I told him.
"I told you my reasons right?" he faced me. "My heart started beating for you the first time I heard you sing on our ride to the party. But I didnt know what it meant, I was confused, If only I knew it was love I would have forgot about helping Natasha"
he said with a sad face.
I nodded and pat his back "Take care" I told him and left. Though I feel pity for him but the love I have for Eston overshadowed it all.
I stared at myslef if the mirrow at the girls room as the thought of Ryan flashed through me. Its just so confusing, what do I do? How do I tell Eston his friend loves me without breaking their friendship?
"So Eston truly asked this slut out huh?" Natasha and her dogs or maybe security blocked my way immediately I stepped out.
"This is a new year maybe you should change" I told her trying to walk past them.
"Not so fast" she pulled me back.
"What have you done to our Eston? Cos I dont expect him to choose someone like you" Amelia said.
"I think she used a love portion on him" Lilian laughed.
"I cant believe you two are still slaves to her up till now, cant you stand on your own?" I faced Lilian and Amelia.
"Shut up trash" Lilian backed.
"We dont need such fucking advice from you" Amelia added.
"Stay away from Eston" Natasha fumed.
"I cant stay away from my boyfriend" I told her.
"Dont call him that" she yelled.
"He cant even manage you for a maid" Amelia dropped.
"Loser" the girls walked away laughing like there were possesed with several demons.
"Ryan still loves me" I told Ivy
"What?" she raised her eyebrow "Oh no Janelle stay away from him" she warned.
"Yea but I already spoke with him, he said he cant betray Eston"
"No Janelle I dont think he'll give up that easily, maybe you should tell Eston about it" she surgested.
"No Ivy, come on, It will cause a great dust up between the two friends, they have been insperable since childhood I cant just come in and separate them like that ok?"
"Whatever Janelle, you just gat to be careful" Ivy told me.
"I will girly"
School day was something I couldnt describe, alot have being on mind lately and I had to do something to get them off my memory.
I got dressed in a purple jumper suit that stopped above my knees and slipped into my white converse.
"Where are you going Janelle?" my mum asked as I stepped into the sitting room.
"Just going for a ride, need to get some air" I said walking out of the room. I heard my dad saying something about my bike but I didnt stop to listen, what else does he have to say apart from ride carefully?.
I hop on my bike and drove out of the compound huming and nodding to a song that was playing from a nearby bar.
The ride was smooth and I was happy feeling and enjoying the cold breeze that caressed my skin and blew my hair and dress. It was indeed a joy ride.
My mind was somewhere else that I didnt notice the bike coming towards me and when I did, I tried using my break but couldnt, I tried harder again but it was all to no avail. I kept struggling with my bike till I clash with the other rider which I guess to be a male.
"Ahh" I screamed as we both jumped off the bike and fell down. I was ontop of him.
"Aww" I groaned rubbing my head.
"Get up psycho" he said removing his helment.
Hah! Dear Crush you again?
"What the hell is wrong with you?" he stood up "Dont you know how to use your break?" he said rubbing his knee.
"Am sorry ok, It was an accident" I said stretching my arm.
"Here" he stretched his hand to help me up but I rejected the offer and stood up on my own.
"You have no break?" he said wide eyed staring down at my bike.
"Huh?" I glared at the bike and just then realization hit me. My dad was actually warning me about the bike which I never cared to listen, maybe next time I should.
"Ohhh" I never realized that" I rubbed my head.
"Come on lets take your bike to someone who can fix it so you wont be left stranded tomorrow".
He siad leading the way while I followed.

Dear Crush
Season 1
Episode 15
My bicycle was left to a man who would fix the wheels and the brake, but I couldnt get it till the next day so I had to ride with Ryan home.
"Where were you going?" he asked as when stopped infront of our gate.
"Just a taking a joy ride" I replied.
"Me too" he chuckled. "why dont you forget about your old bike so I'll get you a new one" he surgested.
"No thanks, it can be repaired anyways" I told him, he nodded and silence dropped between us, we stood staring at each other than and it made me so uneasy so I looked away since it was .
"Janelle" he called and packed his bike he has been holding for a while.
"What is it Ryan?" I asked.
"Eston is really lucky to have you" he smiled at me.
"I think am the luckiest here" I returned the smile.
"Janelle" he called again and ran his hands through his hair like he was unsure of what to say. I glance at his green eyes, there were so sad, does eyes that once pierce me like a drop of living water to my soul were really so sad.
"Janelle take care ok?" he said.
"I'll get going" I nodded "bye" I waved and turned around to leave when suddenly I felt a pair of hands wrapped around my waist and I felt weighed at the side of my shoulder.
"Ryan what are you doing?" I asked softly.
"Just a hug please... am freezing" he said and thightened his grip around my waist. Something urged me to pull away but I couldnt till I heard a ranging voice behind me.
"What is the meaning of this?"
Ryan quickly pulled away and we turned around to see Eston standing with an angry and painful expression on his face.
I turned to Ryan, his face was filled with guit just like I am.
What I have always been scared of has finally happened.
"I just asked a question" Eston yelled.
"Eston please calm down Ryan and I...." I walked towards him and tried to hold him but he moved back like I was contacted with a deadly virus. It hurts.
"Eston am sorry we just met by accident" Ryan tried to explain.
"Really now? And you are here hugging my girlfriend by accident isnt it?" Eston raised his eyebrow.
"Eston I...." I tried to explain.
"Just shhh" he walked away indicating the conversation was over.
"Am sorry really Janelle" Ryan apologised. but I didnt stand to listen, I just ran after Eston.
"Eston please wait" I ran to him before he could get into his car.
"Eston am so sorry, Please dont loose trust in me, am so sorry" I held his hand.
"Why? Do you think its easy seeing my friend hugging my girlfriend in such manner?" he asked hurt.
"Eston am sorry I didnt mean for that to happen"
"And you stood still and let him hug you like that?"
"Eston please its just a friendly hug"
"But it doest look like that" he yelled.
"Rock" I called hurt. He glared at me and ran his hands through his hair feeling fustrated.
"Look noodles am sorry for yelling ok?" he took my hands in his "I felt so hurt seeing you two that way and I was also jealous too" he made a baby face "noodles please..." he was saying but I interrupted him by pressing my lips against his.
He was surprised for a while but he then wrapped his arms around me and kissed me back.
"Am sorry Rock" I pulled away and lay my head on his chest with my hand on his arm, rubbing and caressing it.
"You know noodles, if accusing you would make you kiss me like this then I guess I'll do that often" he joked.
"Crazy jerk" I hit his arm.
"Big head" He laughed running his hands through my hair.
The feeling was elcetrifying.
ESTON'S POV
I got so jealous seeing them that way, why should Ryan hug her that way? I was annoyed at him but I just kept calm and refrain from punching his nose because his my buddy.
I trust noodles and know she wont hurt me. I dont joke with this angel who is hugging me like this. And no matter what she'll always be mine.
RYAN'S POV
It felt like I was in heaven hugging Janelle; I was enjoying all of it that I didnt notice Eston standing a mile away from us.
I felt sorry for him and also felt guity, seeing us that way hurt him I hope it doest cause any conflict between us.
But why cant Janelle be mine? Why cant I have her? Its has always been Eston.
He has always been the best among the REDS, he gets everything before I even try to make an atempt. He got all the good grades and good names. It has always been Eston.
Now Janelle, can I leave without someone amazing like her?

I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling thinking about all that happened today. And I wish I could erase them all from my memory except for the good time I spent with Eston.
I was just about closing my eyes to sleep when my phone suddenly beeped. I glared at the screen of my phone and it was a message from Ryan. It says.
"Thanks for today, its cool spending today with you, I cant help myself to believe the fact we dont always get what we want but I just hope everything turns out well"
I glared at the meassage as many thoughts ran through my mind. What exactly is his problem?
