Changed ➪ Rhett and Link

Unbearable

I could already feel the floor beneath me give out, and I'm not just talking about literal rotten floorboards underneath me. My eyes closed, and I could feel the tears underneath them. Why was I in love with him? I should've known!

I gasp for air shakily, even though most of the air in the room wasn't there. I stand up slowly, but quickly rushing down the stairs. I hear the distant chatting of the other boys dissipate as soon as they hear the cluttered noise of my rush down the stairwell. When I reach the bottom step, I hear some footsteps walk toward me.

"Lily, everything okay?" I heard Rhett's voice next to me. I didn't need his bullsh*t. He knew...He knew exactly what was happening. I shot him a look from the corner of my eye. I faced my head forward and ran out the open door of the abandon house. I ran to the only place I could've run to..

The park.

Why did I love Link? I thought we had a different type of connection. A connection that usually doesn't develop over one day like ours did. I swear he had something for me. Just seeing him in that room..my life is basically over. I won't be able look at him without remembering the moment the universe fell down, crushing me underneath.

I ran to the bench Rhett and I first sat on..when I had my first encounter with Link.

I don't understand why I'm so upset..I think I'm just frustrated..or jealous..or desperate. Too many emotions were filling my head. My heart was broken and my head was filled. The pain was unbearable, but enough to keep me running to the bench, rather than falling to the ground and sobbing.

I made it to the bench. I carefully wiped the tears from my eyes, making sure not to ruin any of my old makeup that was still keeping my face "fresh-looking." My cries were scattered, because everytime I attempted to make myself stop, I would remember why I was crying.

I sat and sobbed for a good 15 minutes before I felt a presence close to me. I look up to see the familiar face.

"What are you doing here, now?" I scoff at him, obviously tired and annoyed. Rhett looks at me, sighs, and sits next to me on the bench. I hate when people comfort me...because that makes me bawl even harder. He slides an arm around me and grips my shoulder tightly, holding me against him.

"I know..I really should of told you that Link had a girlfriend..and that she would be there." He apologized, shaking his head lightly. "I didn't want to see you get hurt, but I also wanted you to find out for yourself." I turn to look him in the eyes, but settle for leaning my forehead on his shoulder.

"I thought I loved him, Rhett...I honestly did. I felt a feeling that usually doesn't develop over the amount of time I've known him." I cry into his collar bone. He rubs my arm.

"I know. I have the same feeling with you. I'm not saying I love you, but we already have this connection. I truthfully feel like I've known you forever. This has never really happened to Link and I before." He says, comforting me. I nod my head I'm agreement. "And I could tell you were falling for Link. I could tell by the way you looked at each other." He stated again, breathing out slowly.

Rhett and I sat there for a couple more minutes, just enjoying each other's company. I soon feel his arm slip away, causing me to flinch off his collarbone. My wet cheeks were still facing the ground when I heard some chatter infront of me. I lift my head to see Rhett..

and Link.
