CHAPTER FIVE

The day carried on as usual, except my jitters were twice as bad both from how I was going to miss him and my guilty conscience. I hadn't thought about that lie I'd told him since the day it had left my lips and now what had I done?

I knew I couldn't tell him now. But then again, I felt like I had to. I wouldn't in camp, I decided. I'd spend one more night with him and then I'd email him after we left with the entire truth.

Of course I knew inside that that was completely wrong and it would probably kill him, but the damage was done. Why had I been so damn stupid? Why couldn't I see that our relationship would turn into so much more than a one month fling that I'd forget about after it ended? How could I have been so dishonest, so selfish? I was a freaking thirteen going on fourteen year old kid and look what I'd gotten myself into. I hated myself for it but once again, I tried to push it out of my mind all that day and that night I spent with him.

***

I cried all the way home. Believe it or not, the camp had grown on me. I had definitely turned into a sappy loser during the month I was there too and I wasn't sure whether I resented that or not. Plus, I was still crying from my guilt but most of all from how much it already hurt not to be with him, to wake up knowing he was just across the campus.

The first thing I did when I got home was sat myself in front if the computer. I stared at the blank email with his email address typed into the recipient field. Deciding to just write from the heart, I said it all. I told him detail for detail of how I lied, why I lied, my feelings for him, and mostly the guilt and why I kept it inside me for so long. Without even reading it over, I hit send.

The next morning I rushed to the computer and saw one new email in my inbox. Quickly clicking on it and unconsciously holding my breath, I saw just one line was written:

'I get it. I loved you and still do but this can't be. I'm sorry.

-Bennett'

Resigned, I exed out the window and marveled at how this was the first time ever I wasn't going to go after something I wanted. But I knew I was wrong and no words could really make it better. Maybe time would but there was no way to know.

Who knew that sending me off to an all girls camp would end like this?
