Crash and Burn

𝐈𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝. Grant is the one person who ever really understood me. He supports me. Comforts me. Encourages me. He cares for me. I don't know what I'd do without his friendship. I can't imagine a world without him. The way I see it, I have three options: 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 #𝟏: Tell Grant how I feel and find out he feels the same. The best-case, most wondrous scenario. 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 #𝟐: Don't tell Grant and continue desperately pining after him in silence. Not as great a scenario. 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 #𝟑: Tell Grant I love him and risk ruining everything when he says he doesn't love me back. The worst-case scenario. My nightmare scenario. But keeping my feelings a secret is slowly killing me. Every minute I spend with him is both torture and bliss. Do I risk it? Stay silent? Take a chance? Play it safe? Can I possibly risk watching my entire world crash and burn around me?
