They celebrate and had so much fun, The day was over Henley have to go home, she felt sad that Henry still don't recognize that change she made, Henley start feeling down hearted, she meet Henry and say good night, she was about to walk away when she felt a hand on her shoulder, her heart start pounding.. 

" Henley.... " Henry called

He watch her as she slowly turn and  face him.  " I know am the one who sick to be your friend but now Henley, things are getting worse Henley, I just don't want to be your friend anymore " he said as tears drop down his cheek.. Henley felt her heart beating  faster, she don't want Miss Henry now, she felt hot tears on her cheek.. Maybe he don't like her, why is he even ending our friendship?  Million of question she want to ask him but she keep it to her self, she open her mouth to speak but he stop her.

" I don't want to be your friend anymore.. I want to be your. Your.  Best person.. Your close person.. I just want to tell you I love you Henley.
