Choosing my Yandere Best Friend

We were very quiet in the car on the way to his parents. Tired after a long day of school then his football practice.

Ash is being much more touchy feely today. I think he's finally caught on that I'm being serious.

It's also started to really hit me that Ash is stalking me. I don't know what he did to get them to do it, but I keep catching people taking photos of me. Or watching me.

I also finally noticed some of the hidden cameras. I'm not going out of my way to find them. But now that I know I can't ignore them anymore. I'm always subconsciously looking.

I don't know if I should talk to him about it.

I know maybe it's my fault. I spent so long ignoring and putting his feelings aside not believing I was anything worthy of him. That would make anyone do crazy things.

I wanna find a way to tell him that he doesn't have to do that anymore. Or at least he doesn't have to do it in secret.

Maybe we can actually do it both ways.

Though for whatever reason I'm super anxious. Maybe because I've never been with a man before. Maybe because Ash is such a spectacular person that I don't deserve.

I know that I'm actively trying to bang the shit of him but it's so…

It's because he actually likes me. I'm so used to doing everything for almost nothing in return. Now…

He hugs me. He walks me to class. He flirts back. I sit in his lap at lunch. He's constantly finding his boners that I am purposely causing.

He and I can talk about anything and he is always listening to me. He's going out of his way for me all the time.

It makes me feel like there is nothing for me to do. Nothing I can provide for him. That hasn't really been anything I can do for him. But compliment and flirt with him.

I know this is probably closer to what a normal relationship is like. It's not a bad thing and Ash is happy with this. He likes taking care of me.

And that makes my skin crawl.

We pulled into the driveway of his house. It's the house that I always know as his house. The same lawn. The same porch. The same brown paint. The same tree.

It's been years but this feels like going home. That's how wonderful Ash's parents were to me. As a kid and all my life. This place was probably the only safe place in the world when I was growing up.

Ash stopped the car and we both got out.

When we walked inside Ash called out, "We're home. I brought Jax."

Before long we heard his Mom calling out from the kitchen. "Just in time! Go set the table Ash! Jax come over here and help me out!"

I put my stuff down and hurried to the kitchen.

His Mom was wearing an apron pulling a casserole out of the oven. I smiled and set on the counter knowing she doesn't actually want my help but to talk to me.

She set the casserole to cool and came over to me. Grabbing my face with concern. "Oh this is truly atrocious you've lost weight again. I told Ash to take care of you but you look fully starved."

I chuckled letting her do what she wanted. "Ash is taking care of me, I promise. I've just been working too hard I guess."

She scoffed, clicking her tongue. "You both just started the school year and you're working too hard? You need to take better care of yourself."

She let me go and handed me a plate of some cooked ham. "Dinner is almost ready but you need to eat okay. Let Ash do all the work okay?"

I smiled, holding back a laugh. Seriously, who is her real son?

I ate the ham while she kept prepping things for dinner. "I'm so glad you got rid of that Lexi girl. She wasn't a good girl to begin with. You're much too kind-hearted. You'll just be taken advantage of with girls like her."

I nodded. She's right, I was taken advantage of all the way to my death. "I was being a fool chasing after a girl like her. I won't do that again."

She smiled and rubbed my head. "As long as you're happy that's all that matters. Just listen to the people around you next time. The people that love you okay?"

I nodded, finishing the slice of ham.

I wonder if I should tell her I like Ash. Would she help me?

It's a possibility his parents already know that Ash likes me. I don't think it would be a bad thing entirely.

I hesitated but decided I should tell her. Better now than later I guess. "Actually…I need your help with something."
