#3, Runaway train.

Alex wasn't sure whether he was still feeling the way he was for Nicole anymore. It just, felt so distant, so foreign now. He wasn't sure what he was to her. He pretty much lost his feeling, you could say. Although she talked to him again, without explaining what really happened. He still felt so far away, all he wanted to be her friend again.

Nicole had once told him her secret, of liking someone else. Lance Crawford was the name. He was the school athlete, and girls will go all crazy over him.

There was this once, as he was walking home, he had to take the train. With his iPod in hand, he bought some food from the stalls right outside the station. As he was walking, there she was. Waiting for the train's arrival, looking pretty as ever. That caught him by surprise, he never expected her to walk home. His heart was.. beating hard. Anyone who saw his face probably saw him all flushed, all red and walk away from him.

But then he saw her with him, The Lance Crawford walking along by her side. His heart dropped. Like, his heart was made of glass and a hammer just came crashing down anyway. He somehow felt more drained, more embarrassed. Like, what of they saw him or something. As they were entering the train, he debated whether to go through the same door. He then finally made a decision to just go through the next door. What, the queue was long anyway.

He didn't want to disturb them, so in the train, he kept a safe distance from them. They were sitting, while he was standing at the door, eagerly waiting the the train to pull over to the next station already. Funny thing was, as he saw them, he felt so crushed that he changed the song he was listening to to a sad one. Hah.

He looked over at them. They were talking, laughing and all. The worst part, she looked really happy. Like, her smile, it wasn't any kind of happiness he's ever seen with her, she really was... happy.

That crushed him a little, but he realized, he should let her go. Things WILL get better that way, and if loving someone means having their happiness as a priority then so be it. He didn't want to love her anymore, he just.. wanted to feel the same way they were a few months back- happy. He wanted the both of them to get back the closure they had. He realized, that he let his feelings get in the way and well, that started everything. He had to let go.

He felt like a kid, who just let the wind blow his kite away, just really well, down.

He remembered what Melanie had told him before. 'If you love someone, let them go. If they don't come back to you, then it's not meant to be. If they do, then well, that's what they call love.'

He didn't want to think of this anymore. Well, he just left this whole Nicole situation behind and approached her as a friend with baby steps.

He definitely could feel better with Natasha right?
