She looks stunned, like she is contemplating what she should say to me, tears begin to well up in her eyes. But she fights them off as she glances at me coldly and removes her hand from mines.
“Kale you don’t know how long I wanted to hear you ask me out, but you never did, because, you didn’t wanna risk losing Amy’s attention, had you asked me to the dance, I may have even said yes to you, I mean I really liked you seriously but, my heart is somehow with Julian, I know it’s only been a few days, and that he hasn’t even asked me out yet, but I think he is worth the wait. I really don’t want to hurt you but maybe there is a reason that you found it so hard to ask me out, why you waited until after I met Julian to finally step up, maybe we just weren’t meant to be, I’m sorry but it isn’t fair to lie to you.” She says almost sad.
I don’t know what comes over me, maybe it’s a way to heal my broken heart, but I throw my arms around her shoulders and pull her flush against my side, she leans her head on my shoulder, this feels so natural, so surreal, I just wish that this was a moment of happiness between us instead of a heartbreaking moment, I can feel sympathy oozing out of her, it’s almost as if she is consoling me, I need this and I think she understands that, just a few minutes of peace to soothe some of the pain. Mom told me to claim her before it’s too late, but I thought that I knew better.
