Help! please!

So last night I was texting the person I like, I know this sounds like a bitchy move but my friend likes him and he likes her but they are not dating, I started developing feelings when I was at my sisters house and he ft us(we are in a friend group and we normally call each other) being on the phone for almost 6 hours and just his smile and the way he reacted to things just got me so deep down into my feelings and I was quiet for the last few hours and I was thinking about my liking him. So I wanted to tell him, I did tell him that I like him but it took him a while to figure it out and then I lied and said it was a joke, and I know I shouldn't of said it in the first place but I didn't want to lie even tho I did

Nikho/nikholas:crush

Kelli: friend

Alyssa/aly: sister/bsf

AJ/adrien: former crush/ best guy friend

Here are the pictures of the messages

(I sent him a screenshot of when I told him)

(At this point im on the phone with aly almost in tears)

Keep in mind right now alyssa is the only person who knows the truth about the situation as she was on the phone with me the entire time and she was helping me with everything.
