Run

Luke

I had ruined everything. Emma had just told everyone something I am assuming was confidential. Emma was in so much pain and I wanted to fix it, but didn't know how. She had lost so much at such a young age. But if she only knew that one of those things didn't deserve her anyway.

When I first spotted her tonight I hardly recognized her. She was utterly beautiful. Emma had always been pretty, but tonight her body was different. She had curves in all the right places and looked fit. She always had beautiful brown hair and blue eyes. Even without sun bathing she had brown skin. I always thought she was pretty and had a crush on her since elementary. I always thought I would win her over and she would realize I wanted to be more until she wasn't mine and I lost my chance. So I admired her from a distance then, but not too far which made it hard. But tonight the way she looked made me feel more than just guilt.

I should have just left her alone. But my guilt was eating at me and I wanted to fix it, but that was a mistake. I think I secretly thought maybe I would come back and explain all what I knew and why it was so hard for me to come back to honor my best friend and she would forgive me for not being there. But knowing all what she has went through, alone, broke me.

After she spilled her guts to me and everyone around me and showed me obvious hate, which was understandable. I knew I would never earn her forgiveness. I decided to leave, but I knew I would never fully get over Emma.
