I laid in bed staring at the ceiling. I touch my now short, shoulder length hair. What if things were different? With my mom? My sister? William? Dalton? The girls? I thought about Dalton for a long time. There was a big chance that we would have ended up together. Like those cheesy romance movies where the childhood friends grow up together and then fall in love. But that wasn't the case for us. I'm not sure why we even grew apart, I kinda forgot about him after he moved. The boy that I hanged out with everyday, how could I just forget him like that?
Then I thought about William. If me and Dalton were together then I wouldn't be with William. I loved William, I really did. But not the same way I love Dalton. I thought about with Delilah. What if we were those twins that hated each other? What if we get too different we grow to hate each other?! Then my mom. What if I had a loving mom, who woke me for school every morning, made me breakfast, I could talk to for whatever I needed, she would make us dinner and then kiss us goodnight. I wonder how that felt. I had my dad but it wasn't the same, he had to work so many jobs he'd be gone by 6am and not back until 10pm.
Then a knock on my bedroom door. I sat up and the door open. "Uh hey Diana I was wondering if you wanted to hang out? You know like how we used to" he said.Me and Dalton walked down the street. I was actually happy to be hanging out with him. "So what have you been up too?" He asked, "well I've been having a lot of thinking, if one thing would have been different would everything be different?"
"Like the butterfly effect?"
"Yeah kinda."
I stopped when I saw the convenience store we stopped at everyday after school. "You remember?" Dalton asked, "yeah." We walked in and was greeted by the woman that owned it, Ms. Omar. "Welcome" we made eye contact. "Oh my, Diana Anderson, is that you? And Dalton Russo?"
"Uh yes."
"Ms. Omar! I haven't seen you in so long!" Dalton replied. She came out behind the counter and hugged Dalton and then hugged me. "It's so good to see you two again!" She said. "You know what anything you buy is on me!"
"No, you can't do that"
"I want to, you two are my best and favorite customers!"After we went to the river and just sat there. Just like we used to so many years ago. "You know this was were I first kissed William" I said, "really?"
"Yeah the night of Misty's party."
He looked at me and stared. "D-do you ever think about if we got together?" He asked. I was stunned by this question, did he? "Um sometimes, why?"
"Because I do, all the time,"
All the time? "Um, I know you are with William but Dede I've liked you ever since we were little kids." I stood up, "what?" I say. He stands up too. "I-I know. But I just needed to tell you."
"I-I'm sorry, Dalton."
He took a step back, "I'm sorry too."
I wasn't sure what to do. Dalton likes me? "I- uh I have to go, sorry!" I wasn't sure what to do so I just ran as fast as I could. I went to the nearest pay phone. "William, can I come over? I was with Dalton but something happened."I walked to William's house. I wasn't sure how he was gonna react either. I crawled in through his window, because of his parents. I laid down on this bed right below the window. He smiled and I sat up. "Hey" I said. "Why did you come over all the sudden?"
"What you don't want me here?"
"No I do but you usually come over like this when something happens."
He sit down next to me on the bed, "something did happen."
"What is it?"
I took a deep breathe. "Dalton told me he liked me and has for a while."
He was silent. He inhaled sharply. "What did you say?" He asked, "I just said sorry."
"And you don't have any feelings for him?"
"Not like that. Not the same way as for you."
I look at him and smile. He smiled and put a piece of hair behind my ear. He leaned in and kissed me. "I can't blame him for liking you but you're mine." He said, I chuckled,
"I love you."
"I love you too."
