One Simple Conversation Pt.11

 'I shouldn't have done that! '  That was all I could hear in my hear in me head.

My heels made loud footsteps as I ran towards the shoe-shaped pond in the garden.

I stopped at the edge of the pond, kneeling down dramatically.

I heard my breath amidst sobs.

I couldn't stand it.

I knew that I probably ruined our lovely little friendship.

"I hate myself!" I kept repeating beneath my breath.

I heard another set of heels coming up to me.

I wipe away the tears on my cheeks in vain because the tears kept flowing out.

"What do you want from me?" I asked.

"Kim, what happened?" Ivy knelt down beside me.

"He said friend," I said as I played with the water.

I couldn't stop more tears from flowing out.

"You don't know what he meant by that," She placed her hand on my shoulder.

"What? What else could he have meant?" I asked rhetorically.

"Tons of things, I don't know," She said.

I sighed, looking at my reflection in the water.

"I just have to face it, he could never love me like that!"

I couldn't bare the words that came out of my own mouth.

"Don't say that!" Ivy said in a concerned tone.

I wanted to say, "But it's true!", but I held back.

"Kim, just talk to him about it. If it doesn't work out, at least you won't live the rest of your life wondering what could be!" Ivy tried to comfort me.

"But I'll live the rest of my life without him! I'll be sadder than ever!" I said.

She turned my head to face her.

She stared me in the eyes.

"You're strong. You'll move on. If you really want him, just talk! You'll figure something out!" She said.

"Just a simple conversation. The ones you always have." She suggested.

My mouth opened to protest, but I stopped. She was right. I had to talk to him. One simple conversation. One conversation that might lead to the end of our friendship. One conversation that might be our last!

I stood up and wiped away all my tears.

"I can do this," I tried convincing myself.

I walked back into the party room.

I looked around with no sign of Garroth.

I gulped, backing up and knocking into something.

"Kimmy!" Garroth shouted.

I looked above me. I stared at his face, my heart sinking because I thought it was going to be the last time I could do it.

I stood myself up.

"Garroth, lets talk. Somewhere else." I said firmly.

His mouth opened a bit but quickly closed again.

I dragged him up to my room, locking the doors shut.

"Garroth, do you-?" I asked half a question because I didn't know what to say.

My eyes darted around his face, not knowing where to look.

"Do you still want to be friends?" I asked, finally knowing what to say.

My heart was beating so fast that it would probably look like vertical lines on a screen.

"No." He said it so quickly and confidently, I felt my heart break.

I felt tears well up in my eyes.

"Wait, Kim, that's not what I meant!" He quickly put his hands on my shoulders.

I was backed up into a corner of the room.

I looked into his beautiful ocean-like eyes.

"What did you mean?" I asked, not breaking eye contact.

"I want us to be more," He smiled innocently.

The tears flowed down my cheek.

"Me too."

I felt his soft hands push my hair back.

I put my hands in his blond hair.

We leaned in.
