Okay. Major dilemma on the boy-girl front.

My best friend, Lacy, has been going out with Zay for over a year. They met at the beginning of last school year and have been going out ever since. I met Zay in 8th grade (I'm a senior now) and have had a crush (major heartpounding crush) on him since then.

My problem??? She is now thinking of breaking it off with him. She just told me today and ever since I have been freaking out because he knows that I really, really, REALLY like him. He asked me if I had had the chance would I have gone out with him. I said "Hell YEAH!" Now if Lacy breaks up with him I will finally have that chance, but I don't want to lose Lacy as a friend. It took a long time for me to trust her with my personal stuff and I don't want her to think that I was only after her boyfriend.

Can anyone help me?? I'm desperate to know what to do and I don't want to let another chance with a really great guy go by again.

Please respond. I really need your help.
