Confessions

Chapter Twenty-Four

Henry and I were over. But there was still one more thing to do... I had to tell Cayla. I couldn't keep this up. I had to confess...

"Sarah!" Henry yelled, jogging behind me as I sped down the sidewalk towards Cayla's house.
"Leave me alone!" I bellowed without looking back.
"Sarah! Please!" He begged.
"I'm going to tell her, and whatever there was between us is over!" I said, once again, without a glance.
"I don't care if you tell her! But don't end whatever this is! Not yet!"
"Why!?" I snapped, spinning around instantly, so that Henry nearly ran into me in his haste to stop. "So you can go off and leave me stranded again?"
"The other summer?" He asked, his voice level dropping, thigh still audible over the loud wind.
"Well no fucking duh!" I answered. "You screwed up, and I promised myself it was over. This wasn't supposed to happen! I wasn't supposed to fall in love with you again!" I screamed, at the top of my voice. Luckily, the wind was so loud out screams could only be heard by one another.
"I'm sorry!" He yelled, as it began to rain.
"I was left, scared and alone. You disappeared and suddenly I wake up in the hospital! And what's worse? The second I leave the hospital, I find out your leaving! 'I'm sorry' just isn't going to cut it!" I began to cry, but the rain was now pouring down on us, and my tears were unseen.
"I love you Sarah! I love you more than anything in the entire world. I don't want to live a life without you! I love you Sarah Grace Stindz!" I froze at the sound of his words. I was speechless. We just gazed into each others eyes, the rain soaking us through. Henry leaned in for a kiss. Our lips were only inches apart when I places my hand on his chest and pushed him away.
"Goodbye Henry." And with that I pushed past the boy I once loved, and returned to my broken home.
