*In a truth or dare game*

Marcus: truth or dare?

Liza: Truth

Marcus: Did you ever or do you like me?

*NO ONE TALKS FOR A FEW MOMENTS*

Liza (in a hush tone): To be frank, I used to like you.

Marcus: YOU LIKE ME?

Liza: I USED TO like you. I liked you, but it wasn’t the right time. I tried to give you some clues, but you weren’t able to figure them out. I tried to be clingy and talked to you about my dream guy. I basically described you, but you were still clueless. A few months later, you started to like Jamie. You constantly asked for advice on how to impress her. You told me that my ideas were works of a “genius” and said things like, “You’re the sister that I’ve never had”.

Marcus: Why didn’t you tell me? All you needed was a little courage. Maybe by now, we’re already dating and we could have had a strong relationship.

Liza: I eventually realized that our friendship is too precious to take this type of risk. We’ve known each other for years, but I know that you’ve never looked at me the way that I used to look at you. For you, I am just the “sister that you’ve never had” or your best friend forever.

Marcus: But-

Liza: Don’t worry, it’s all over now. I only think of you as a brother and sometimes, I would even tell myself “You liked the wrong guy. He’s also the brother that you’ve never had”.

*no one talks for a few moments. Again.*

Marcus: I only asked you that question because I also used to like you. It turns out that we loved each other at the same time, but neither one of us had the courage to talk about it. I told you that I liked other girls because I wanted to get over the fact that I was falling for my best friend. We may have liked each other at the right time, but not at the right moment. We weren’t emotionally ready for what was coming so we chose to ignore the whole situation.

Liza: Hey, we’re becoming too emotional right now. Besides, which one would you choose, something that’s new, but might not last long or something that’s old, but would last ‘til the end of time?

Marcus: I get what you’re trying to say and I’d choose the latter one. Our friendship may be “old” for it has gone through so many obstacles, but at the end of the day, we are still the best of friends. If we committed into a relationship with one another and it did not work out well, then we’d just destroy our friendship.

Liza: Don’t think of that too much though. What’s done is done. That’s our friendship motto, right? No regrets. Friendly relationships between a boy and a girl usually go through this kind of problem, and I am happy that we surpassed this well.

Marcus: Yeah. I am glad that we are making the right decision. Best friends forever?

Liza: ‘Til the end of time.
