A secret to keep *ON HOLD*

Beth and I got in a fight. She left taking a duffel bag and her rucksack with her.

The only sign that she had been here was her bracelet lying on the table , and the warm spot on the chair that she once sat in.

I burst into tears. I didn't care if the whole city heard me. Everyone could know that I had a broken heart. I wondered where she was going. I didn't care. I needed someone to comfort me. I decided to invite over the first person on my contacts.

Amy.

I knew exactly where I was going. I was going to Lees house. He was always nice to me and we were practically best friends. I knew he might be able to cheer me up. I hope Joe realizes that he's the reason I'm not with him anymore. He had started this fight. And I had ended it.

I arrived at lees house. I rang the doorbell.
It was raining. I was soaked. But I didn't care. Lee finally opened the door and when he saw me he immediately asked," what happened???" I began to sniffle. Why was I such a baby? He pulled me into a hug.

He lead me inside and got me a towel. He told me to go into the bathroom and change into some warmer clothes. I did as I was told, and when I was done lee took my clothes and put them in the dryer. I sat down on the couch beside him and began to cry. He asked me once more what had happened, bad that's when it all came out. Why I was crying what happened, how upset I was, how stupid I thought the fight was.

It thought that fight was the stupidest thing ever.

Yet, it broke the strongest relationship.

Lee pulled me into another hug and rubbed my back.

I buried my head in his shoulder, and as I did so I had a flashback. A man that hugged me in that exact way before touching me inappropriately.

What was that flashback? All through the rest of the night I couldn't quit thinking about it. What was that supposed to mean? Why was that my flashback? When did that happen? It sent a shiver up my spine.

My face was pale the next morning and lee had asked what was wrong. "Nothing I guess, just you know... things."

I didn't know if I should tell him. He might have been my best friend but I don't think he's understand.

Time skip 5 weeks (at a beach)

Lee pulled me into a bear hug before throwing me into the freezing water." You little brat ,get back here!" I yelled running after him. He fell on the ground and I pounced ontop of him. "Gotcha." I laughed. "Ha ha you got me I surrender." He chuckled flipping onto his back forcing me to sit on his stomach. "Good." I giggled once more. "Jk sucker!" He yelled picking me up and throwing me back into the water. He raced in after me. I splashed Gina no he shrieked splashing me back.

Time skip

The sun was setting now and we were all dried off and heading home. We stopped at the front door. Of lees house. Lee turned to me. "Beth," he sounded nervous. "Yeah, what is it?" "Well you see we've been living together for a really long time and for that time, I have developed a.... Love.... For you." He said his voice wavering. I felt myself blush. I rocked back and forth on my heels pondering this. Lee liked me! He liked me! Did I like him back? I'm not really sure of anything anymore. I turned to look into his deep green eyes. He stepped slightly closer, and leaning in, he kissed me.

Just like that he kissed me.

I started to kiss back. He pulled away to unlock the door before leading me to the couch. I sat down and began to kiss him again. I guess I did like him. Didn't I?
