Damien Cross(best friends crush)

You and your best friend, Paris, have been friends since you were 5 years old. 11 years of friendship, and now you're both in your sophomore year of high school. Even though you were best friends, you were total opposites. She was blonde and wore bright, colourful clothes. She was bubbly and a huge extrovert. She was also extremely popular. She had almost everyone in the school falling at her feet. You, on the other hand, wore baggy dull clothes, kept your head low, and didn't really talk to anyone else but Paris. You were a massive introvert and had a lot of anxiety, so much that you suffered from panic attacks, and you missed a lot of school due to your anxiety, but also your mental health. You were also extremely insecure, hence the baggy clothing choices. You didn't believe you were pretty enough. The last and biggest difference is that Paris came from a wealthy family, whereas you came from a struggling family; it was just you and your dad, and he was barely able to put food on the table. But despite all your differences, you two were inseparable.

One thing about Paris was that she had a massive crush on the senior ice hockey captain. Damien Cross. She was in love with him. She was obsessed. You have heard her talk all about him and how he's so hot, cute, and good at hockey. However, every time she would talk to him, you were there, and it wasn't Paris he was staring at.

Damien Cross. Your best friend's crush. He was attractive and the most popular boy in school. He was your school's hockey captain. He came from a well-known, wealthy family, his father being the CEO of a huge company. He was tall, around 6'5, and he had deep green eyes that stared right through you. He has black, messy hair that falls just below his ears, several piercings and tattoos covering his arms and other parts of his body. He played ice hockey, did music, played guitar, and rode a motorcycle. He was intimidating. Everyone threw themselves at him, wanting to date him, be his friend, or even just to be seen by him. Everyone shipped him and Paris. You mean...the most popular girl and the most popular boy dating? Sounds perfect. However, Damien hated that ship because he had eyes for only one girl.

You.

To Damien, you were the most beautiful, most gorgeous, and enthralling girl. He found you cute, funny, smart, kind, and generous. In his eyes, you were everything. He was obsessed with you. He wanted you more than anything. He had written you songs to play to you when you were finally his. He wanted to spoil you and shower you with the love and care you deserved. He worshipped the ground you walked on. He needed you to breathe. He was so madly in love with you it hurt.

The only problems? Paris and your insecurities.

He knew Paris was in love with him, and you, being her best friend, wouldn't get in the way. He tried starting conversations with you, but Paris wouldn't let him. Not to mention, in your head, you weren't pretty enough or good enough to be liked by someone like that. Two things. Two goddamn things are stopping you from being his. He just wanted to love you.

Paris wouldn't let you get near him. She was adamant about having him. But Damien knew that would never happen. So one day, he snapped. He was sick of not being able to go near you, get to know more about you, talk to you, and take you on dates. He just wanted you.

And one night, he got you. He finally got the girl he was in love with.

He threw a massive Halloween party, and Paris dragged you along. She saw this as an opportunity for her and Damien to get together. The only problem was she didn't know who he was dressed as. He had a mask on, so no one knew it was him. He was wearing a ghost face mask with a compression shirt and sweatpants. Paris was a cat, and you were just wearing a bit of fake blood, telling people you were a murder victim. During the party, Paris left you to go with her popular friends, leaving you alone. That was until Damien, face hidden with his ghost face mask, approached you.

"Hey there, my love, who are you supposed to be?"
