I had to find Meghan. I started calling her, but she wasn't picking up her phone. I searched everywhere and I was already getting worried, because I knew something happened to her and I had to talk to her about it.

I sat on one of the chairs of the 1st floor to think of the places I haven't searched. I searched everywhere. Maybe she went home? Something tells me she didn't. God, I even searched each and every toilet in our university. Where could she be.

I was really hopeless now. I knew I wouldn't find her anymore. I left the university and as I was about to go down the stairs it clicked. I knew where she could be. I ran to the backyard of our university.

It's such a beautiful place where you can sit on a bench, think in silence and not be bothered by anybody. Also, it's a pleasant place for the people who love nature like I do. I just LOVE everything about my nature. Seriously, if it wasn't embarrassing I would certainly sleep on the grass, but that's a long story. Now, I just had to find her.

There are two ways to reach the backyard. The first one is to climb the stairs next to the new building of our university and the next one is going outside passing one of the cafes inside the main building. I decided to take the first way because I was already outside anyway.

I was already reaching the last stairs when I saw her beautiful sunny blond hair being blown by the wind. She was sitting on the bench, her eyes were closed and she had earphones in her ears.

I didn't want to scare her, as her eyes were closed. So, I decided to call her first. She opened her eyes to see who's calling and then push 'decline'. That's when I approached her for her to notice me without being surprised.

I sat beside her on the bench and I didn't say anything. We were both sitting in silence when she decided to initiate the conversation.

"How did you know I wasn't gone and that I was here?" she asked in an emotionless voice. The interesting is that I didn't know her for a long time, but there was something I knew for sure. Today she was different and that's the perfect word to describe her today.

"Well, you remember that we talked about our schedules, right? So, our schedules were almost the same and that's how I knew you didn't have a class, so, you would be either somewhere at the university or at home. I started searching for you everywhere, until I remembered about this place and thought that maybe you would be here."

"Oh," she didn't say anything other than that, which was so unlike her.

I suspected something from the first time we met, but I didn't think it was possible. But now that I think of it, it doesn't seem that impossible. I decided that I had to talk about it with her even if that could be considered as crossing the line.

"You like him, don't you?" I said not looking at her.

"Huh?"

"Matt. You like him, right?" I asked kind of knowing the answer. This time after asking my question I looked at her. She couldn't or didn't want to answer this question, but the fact that she was blushing was already an answer for me.

"Then why did you leave? You could've enjoyed his presence even more. Isn't that what people do when they're in love? Wanting to spend as much time near their loved ones as possible."

"Well..."

"Was it because of Brittany? Were you hurt that he had a girlfriend?"

"No, it wasn't. Honestly, I knew that sooner or later he would have someone knew. Also, if you want to know the truth I knew he wouldn't ever love or like me. He didn't even know I existed before this day."

"Then what was the problem? I don't understand. It's not like he was rude or something. And I want to tell you something, you never know what can happen. Maybe he'll like you someday. Just give him a chance. He has known you for a couple of minutes Meggy."

She smiled at me.

"What?"

"You already gave me a nickname. Thank you. It made me a little happy."

"Well, I would've done it sooner, if I knew it would cheer you up a little."

"The reason why I left it because he hugged me. It's hard for me to talk about these things with somebody because I haven't ever done this before. I'm just used to keeping everything inside of me. It's a way for me to deal with my problems by myself and also thanks to that I've learned to ignore them from time to time and just hiding them far away in my mind or heart."

"But now you have me. You can talk to me freely."

"I know that now and I"m very happy to hear that. As I haven't done this kind of a thing before, I don't know how to start. Okay, I'll just think that I'm talking to myself. "

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Like I said I left because he hugged me. I've liked him for a really long time. He was the first thing I thought about when I opened my eyes in the morning and when I closed them at night. For me, everything in this world was and is still connected to him. I don't even know how to explain that. So, many days I've watched him from afar imagining our first meeting, imagining what we could be, if I was different in terms of character. You saw me today, I hardly even said a word. I don't even remember now whether I said anything or not. So, when he hugged me, I became greedy, I started wanting something more. Before, it was enough for me just to see him at the university and I was already happy. But when he hugged me, I suddenly started wanting more than just staring at him. I wanted to hug him back, to be by his side and to be called 'the one' as he likes to call his every girlfriend."

After finishing her confession she slowly opened her eyes. I didn't know what to say and what came next were just the words that I felt at the moment.

"Listen Meggy, you're a very positive girl and it's so unlike you to be so hopeless and sad. I understand you, I mean I try to. But I don't want to see you in this state. It's not like he is married to his girlfriend anyway. You still have a chance. I'm telling you this honestly, but someone with your appearance should never worry about being broken hearted. You just have to be patient and wait for a while. Maybe I don't know a lot of things, but there's something I know for sure. If something must happen, it will happen anyway. Let's wait for it. I think that for the time being you should be pleased with the fact that I love you. Aaaand to prove you my love I will do something Matt wouldn't think I'd ever do."

I took out my Snickers and divided into two parts giving one of them to Meggy.

"You see, Snickers is the love of my life and if I decided to share it with you, you can be sure of my feelings towards you honey."

She laughed and took the Snickers.

"I'm so honored."

"Cheers," we said colliding our snickers to one another before eating them.

"Also, we're going to a party tomorrow. So, dress to impress Matty," I said winking at her.

"And before you try to say no I'll tell you that you owe it to me. First of all because I gave you my incredible piece of advice of not giving up and second of all because I shared with you my Snickers, which was bought by, drum roll, Matthew."

"Uhm. Okay?"

"You have to be more certain honey. We're going to a party and let that party change something for you two. I ship you. I even invented a ship name for you, well, actually a couple of them. You can choose whichever you like. MegMatt, Megttew, Mathan. So? Which one do you choose? Huh?"

She stood up from the bench and started going down the stairs.

"Heeey! Are you gonna leave me here? Aren't you gonna choose any name that I invented?"

"Nope." She said running.

"Hey wait for me. I'm not done with you." I said trying to catch up with her.

This was another reason why I started loving Thursdays even more. The fact that my relationship with Meghan got even stronger. I'm so happy that I got to know her and got to have another incredible best friend. We went to different shops together to find dresses and it was the funniest and most pleasant thing that happened to me. We laughed a lot, we got closer and the most important is we found the dresses that fit us perfectly I think. So, we are ready to party.

Hello my dear friends💙 I think that this chapter is very important...because friendship is one of the most important and helpful things you can have in your life. So, I wanted to emphasize that. It's really important to have someone by your side who would advise you, cry and laugh with you and hug you when you need it.

I'm going on a vacation for a weeks and I won't be publishing any chapter until I come back😅I really hope that you'll miss me and that you'll wait for me😊❤️

I just opened a new account where I'll post news about my next book and schedule😄❤️
