Phoebe Point of View
I looked into the eyes of the man whom I considered my best friend. Though our friendship is of only few years, he had become a very important person in my life.
The person with whom I can play, rant about, get angry on and tease; but Love?
Love was never the feeling I had for him. Heck, I did not even know what happens in love. I had no experience in it.
Love is like a forbidden apple in my life; if I eat it then I die in pain, if I don't then I live with pain. There is no concrete future for love in my life and it is not right for a person like Niccolo to love me as well.
I was lucky to have him as my best friend but I cannot bring him down to my low standards leading him into an absurd relationship with me which cannot have any future whatsoever.
"She sure is a lucky girl to have your love." I smiled awkwardly at him and avoided looking into his eyes.
