Love Like This

Megan

When Heather asked if we could be friends I instantly regretted telling her I love her.

I just nodded and when she reached for a hug I had to hold my breath.

I know she didn't tell anyone because no one treated me any different. 

I just got on with life and tried to change my feelings. I got a new boyfriend and tried to feel for him what I felt for Heather. It was no use, I knew I wasn't a lesbian but I knew I loved Heather so what was I bisexual or what?

Things changed from bad to worse in December I felt so broken and lost and because that day my life changed and it would never go back to how it was...

I got home from school as usual let myself in and said hi to my Mum. Faye was having tea at her friends house so it was just me and my Mum until my Dad was due home at 6pm. I got on as usual did my homework talked to my current boyfriend and watched some TV in my room I lost track of time because I didn't realise it was almost half 7 and my Dad still wasn't home which I found weird I went downstairs when there was a knock at the door, this was odd because no one other than Heather ever came over and never this late. My Mum answered the door to Heathers Dad and another man I didn't know.

"Mrs Hughes, you may want to sit down, I have some really bad news." I heard the unknown man say.

My Mum went into the living room followed by the two men, I stood at the door and all I heard was. 

"Your husband has been killed in an accident!" after that all I could hear was crying and screaming, it took me a second to realise it was me screaming. How could this happen? How could my Dad be dead? How? How? How?

I went numb after that, my Mum and myself went to Heathers house as we had no idea what to do without my Dad. He was supposed to be there to protect us, how to we tell Faye her Daddy isn't coming home. This had shattered me. Heather was there for support but things were getting a little weird between us after what I had said but she said "Forget about everything else, we will deal with this together!" 

As my Dad was the owner of the house we couldn't stay there, we moved in with Heathers family temporarily until we could find a place for us.

I shared a room with Heather it was unbearable I had to hide my feelings so I spent as much time with my boyfriend as I could. 

Then a few days later I found Heather crying...
