[ WP ] Write me a love story with a twist ending , but all the characters remain happy .

`` You always make me smile.'' 
 
 
 `` You too. You make me happy you know.'' 
 
 
 `` Would you...'' 
 
 
 `` Yes?'' 
 
 
 `` Would you like to get together?'' 
 
 
 `` No.'' 
 
 
 The dejection on his face was instant, not like a cloud covering the sun on any other of those poetic metaphors in the songs she was now too old and too cool to listen to in front of her friends. No it was just there, from inside him all the sad and scared burst through at once. 
 
 
 `` But, why?'' 
 
 
 She was still thinking of how hurt he looked. Forgot to speak, only realising halfway through his confused, 
 
 
 `` This is practise you know. You should say yes.'' 
 
 
 that she needed to say something. But her mind was filled with the sudden thought that love was neither easy nor a game. Was she doing the right thing? Abort! Abort! Abort! her mind screamed. 
 
 
 `` Because you love her, not me. And you need to tell her that,'' she said finally. She was too brave to let fear over-rule her that easily. But her voice quavered. She felt lost in love and very, very uncertain. 
 
 
 To hell with it. She'd go through with it. 
 
 
 She moved in to hug him whispering, `` She's behind you. I told her, she's listening. Just tell her how you feel and it'll be cool. I promise. Like... `` 
 
 
 `` Like that liquid nitrogen guy on Top Chef.'' He hugged her back smiling. It was always great having someone who knew the strange paths your mind took. 
 
 
 `` I need to tell *her* that?'' 
 
 
 She bent to pick up her her schoolbag. `` Yes,'' she said. *Be brave* she mouthed from the floor. 
 
 
 He helped her up, silent. His eyes were lost and far away, distant. Too silent. *Would he... * 
 
 
 He smiled, suddenly. 
 
 
 `` Yes, I must, I guess.'' 
 
 
 She sighed, relieved; then smiled. There was really nothing else to say. It was one of those times a smile was all that was needed. It said enough. She could run away now. 
 
 
 `` Bye,'' she said loudly ready to scuttle off. 
 
 
 Behind them the sound of footsteps creeped up. She needed to go. Now! She sprang to her feet, pulling her hand from his, and with a smile on her face raced towards... 
 
 
 Actually, nothing. She collided with the onrushing, Susan. 
 
 
 `` Oof,'' she went. 
 
 
 `` No, you do n't,'' said Susan not giving her time to recover her breath. `` You tell her that you love her. You listen. Then accept. That's an order.'' 
 
 
 `` But he...'' 
 
 
 `` It's you. It's always been you, pretty much.'' 
 
 
 He spoke quietly, but firmly turning her legs to jello. She sat down. 
 
 
 
 `` But, Susan?'' 
 
 
 `` I'm but a simple humble pawn getting you two together. Now kiss.'' 
 
 
 Her ears went red. It could n't be. Although he was nodding at her and her heart was fluttering and it was suddenly very hard to think straight. Except, 
 
 
 `` I love you,'' she said. It was the one clear thing in her mind. 
 
 
 `` I love you too.''
