Fancy hearing a story of the most recent and currently ongoing event in my life, it is probably the most difficult thing I have ever suffered so listen up.

My name is Chris, my best friend is Craig. We look dramatically different and we have many different characteristics, he is a nasty piece of work (trust me he likes it that way) I'm far nicer and forgiving and weather this is my downfall is to be seen. The fact is we get along like anything, ever since my old best friend Simon Edwards (some may remember him as FrEaK oF ThE dArK) stopped talking to me he has been my new aid (although normally the other way round). Moving elsewhere there are twin sisters Helen and Mary Stokes, two people that create mixed reactions amongst the public, many hate them, many love them and many like one and not the other. Craig likes Helen and not so Mary and when his recent love attempt failed his friend suggested he should go after Mary he replied, "I'd rather Helen".

And now it starts:

After a trip to the park (don't ask) Helen tried to be "friendly" with Craig (yep his friend told him he liked her) but Craig was evil to her. He had just tried his love attempt again and fell flat... again and now he was ignoring Helen. Poor girl she must feel rejected and so I decided to step in and hang around with her. This was a mistake as from now on in I like Helen and yes in that way and yet I cannot, what of Craig's true feelings? Well after asking him more times than I care to mention I discover Craig finds her annoying and that he prefers her to Mary but that isn't saying much. And so I see the coast is clear.

Now we have a nice few weeks of exams, nothing untoward until the end of half term, celebrated with a party:

Me and Craig arrived as planned to the party, and yet a surprise guest was the Stoke sisters. Me and Helen as we did at the park hit it off, in fact more so. We talked, we walked off together, we hugged several times, we laughed, drank, and generally had a great time. I was blissfully unaware of the suffering my best friend was feeling, I am unsure if it was jealousy that his best friend had met someone or of that he decided he liked Helen all along. At one point in the party Craig said to me "She is really flirting with you mate, go for it". I thought these were words of encouragement it was in fact Craig throwing in the towel, something I was unaware of. But the Party also had me suffering, another Piranha in the tank Paul Fisher, a nice friend who also flirted with Helen and by the end of it was far more physical than the odd hug I gave her (ok slightly more physical) I was positive I'd lost and hung me head. But all was not lost, her comments to Paul were generally nasty but to me she was as sweet as anything. I was still hopeful of a possible relationship.

Craig meanwhile had said nasty things about Helen in the past, calling her a dog, annoying and wishing to shoot her at paintballing, how is she supposed to like a boy who says these things about her? Helen at this stage does not like Craig.

Now the aftermath of the party:

Craig admitted to me that he still had feelings for Helen and asked me to back off. I would... normally but I have fancied girls before, but this was different, I really was loved up and I wasn't about to let go, I was in too deep. And now an uncomfortable silence fell between the two friends, me and Craig's friendship is feeling the strain. Craig had a lot of catching up to do and so admitted to Janine (a gossip and Helen's friend) that he liked her... What could I do to counter that? Well it was up to my longest running friend to do it for me, not only did he contact Craig and keep our friendship on track he also sent a message via text to Janine asking her to find out what Helen's feelings are for me? Well it looks as if this may be over sooner rather than later. But what of the response? And what of Paul Fisher.

Enter the social gathering at the park:

Here I met Janine and she said she had to talk with me. Craig wasn't there and I spoke to Neal Condor another friend on the state of affairs. He claimed, "Craig doesn't stand a chance" and "Fisher isn't intrested he was just drunk and desperate that night". Craig soon turned up; at this point our friendship is going strong although the tension is still present. He learns also that Paul isn't interested when Paul says "I'm not interested". Janine never got to speak to me, as I had to leave but told Craig "I think you stand the best chance of them all", contradicting Neal completely. And now to this evening, it is just I and Craig, and one girl. Craig is getting hurt from this, for someone who rarely shows pain this must be an incredible burden to take, for me it is extra difficult as I don't think Craig really likes her. I believe it is because I am getting close to a girl, he still claims she is annoying but to me she's perfect and I cannot stop thinking about her.

So what of the future?

Janine is yet to speak to me, Helen's true feelings is still unknown and my future friendship with Craig is looking unstable. This is looking nasty, it could get very bitter and messy, someone’s heart will be broken and if it is me I will be crushed, but if its Craig then I will be there to pick up the pieces, if only he let me. As I said I feel so strongly for this girl and I wrote a song for my band all about her, here is my second draft of this emotional song:


The music’s blaring loudly as I sit alone a while.
You approach me very quietly and I cannot help but smile.
I comment on the garden and are laughter fills the air.
Not being able to kiss you is something I cannot bare.
What could be this feeling that I cannot shake.
Your perfect in every way, you make not one mistake.
Whenever I speak to you my mouth dries with fear.
I follow you like a puppy whenever you are near.

Why can’t I… be like you?
I’d be so happy and not in this mood.
You’re as precious as china and as sweet as a dove.
This feeling I cannot shake could it be love?

I see you laughing and playing, with some other guys.
You say things to me smiling, that I always hope are lies.
Those things you like to say and the way you like to flirt.
You are ignorantly unaware of how much they cut and hurt.
I like to see you happy, it makes me happy too.
Because my life is pointless whenever I’m near you.
You’re as pretty as a flower and you look so fine.
I know it is unlikely but I wish you could be mine.

Why can’t I… be like you?
I’d be so happy and not in this mood.
You’re as precious as china and as sweet as a dove.
This feeling I cannot shake could it be love?

-Instrumental-

Why can’t I… be like you?
I’d be so happy and not in this mood.
You’re as precious as china and as sweet as a dove.

I'll keep you posted.

Good luck with the situation Dringo. Hope it comes to some kind of a happy ending, though it seems it can't be entirely happy for everyone. Just think about what is more important for you. From the sounds of it you seem to think the girl is worht the risk, if you think so, then go for it. It's always gonna be a risk, but you'll kick yourself later if you don't.

And yes, I do know it is infinitely easier t give out this kind of advice than it is to take it, but that's how life goes...

"It's better to regret something you have done, than regret something you haven't done."

If you do nothing, but find out late that Helen liked you, you'll kick yourself forever.

If you ask her, and she says no, then so what? At least you know where you stand and you can sort things out with your mate.

---Update---

Craig got hold of Helen's mobile number and begins texting her, I learn that Craig has been playing the evil Chris card, I am not sure what he has said but I'm worried nevertheless. Meeting Craig with a friend Craig was happy that was until he went to buy Pikmin, not being able to get the money Craig tries to take No one Lives Forever on the PS2 back but failed in anger he stormed home and I followed. When i reached his house he told me to f*** off and to grow up, he then tells me he broke no one lives forever. Me angry at what he said made me reply "Why should I care what happens to no one lives forever" and he said "Because if you don't i may tell helen things"... i look at him and shove him backwards telling him that was a bad thing to say, he said "Say I've already done it, I then pushed him backwards and over" I am stronger than craig but I don't like to be, I'm not an aggressive person.

I contact Kieran staight after for him to get in contact with Janine, can she help? Kieran has yet to do so but I spoke to close friend Alex Swain, close to both me and Helen and he doesn't like Craig. What will happen by the end of next week? Well after reacent backstabbing events it seems as if my chances of happines are far outweighed by my chances of suffering a broken heart... We'll see but it is looking nasty now between me and Craig.

Thanks for your kind words, but my lack of a mobile phone renders me useless until I get back to school... but my social skills and confidence far outweigh Craig's... i live in hope.

So do your writing skills. You write very good and interesting posts. I've just been looking at the backlog of GAD wins and you are doing really well. Be happy to be a better person overall, even if Craig and no-one else realises it.

Sorry, last line should have read:

Even if no-one else (including Craig) realises it.

It came out slightly wrong. :)
