The thing about you and Calum is that you’re together, for all intents and purposes. You spend all of your free time together and go out on dates and go to concerts and football games and all kinds of stuff together. The thing, if it could be called a thing, is that if anyone asks, you and Calum both vehemently deny that you’re together. There is a lot of “we’re just friends!” and “we’d never work out.” It’s not until you’ve been acting this way for a few years that you realize, holy shit, I’m in love with him. So you do what you think you’re supposed to do: you get an actual boyfriend and try to forget about Calum, but that completely backfires and you find yourself thinking about him even more than usual, especially when you and this new guy go to places that were are yours and Calum’s places. One night you’re on a date and you just can’t do it anymore. You tell this guy that, sorry, but it’s not working, and he says “I figured it wasn’t since you’re in love with Calum.” Cue the montage of you going to all of the places that Calum should be, not finding him anywhere until you go to the one spot that you hadn’t shown him yet, the place that you can walk to through the woods in your backyard that opens up to a clearing where you can see the stars so easily on a clear night. He’s standing in the middle of your clearing, seemingly waiting for you, because when you get close enough, he says, “I’m in love with you. I didn’t know it until you started seeing what’s his name, but I think I’ve loved you the whole time we’ve known each other and I can’t stand to see you with anyone else. I know you probably don’t feel the same way, but I just wanted you to know that.” He goes to walk past you, but you pull him close and kiss him, and it feels so right and perfect. This would be the part of the movie where the music swells and you live happily ever after. “No, Calum. I’m in love with you, too. That’s why I started seeing him. I realized how I felt about you and tried to replace you with him. I can’t replace you with anyone. You’re my best friend. I love you.” You kiss him again and again, and you spend the night in your clearing together, talking and kissing and talking and kissing, eventually falling asleep wrapped up in each other, only waking up when the sun comes up.
