I left Carson's house.
I saw him staring at me and his mom talking.
I hope the glass doesn't break.
I think... It's time to say goodbye.
(The next day)
"Carson.. Hello?" I asked when I called him. "Oh, um... Hey, Gemma." His faint voice came through my phone. "Can we meet at the beach today?" I said, thinking about how it's the last time I will ever see him. "Sure. What time?" He answered. 'He is still his cute self. No wonder Winnie likes him.' I thought as I said," 2 pm." "Ok." He canceled the call after those words. I feel myself sinking into a huge hole. A hole full of Carson's nice words. How he cared about me like I was his sister. Everything starts to pile up inside me. I stop thinking about him as 2 pm comes.
(2 pm)
I was ready by the time 2 pm comes. I wore a white shirt, short pants, and red converse. I put on my light blue jacket, and headed out the door with dad staring at me. I walked on the pathway to the beach, suddenly thinking about all the things that have happened. I thought about my friends. I thought about mom. I even thought about dad. And auntie. That's when I saw Carson.
"Hey!!! Carson!!!" I yelled, waving rapidly to hide my nervousness. "Oh um... Hey, Gemma." I looked at him, noticing that he wasn't his usual self. "You.... Heard what my mom said, right..?" He suddenly said, facing me as his calm face becomes a serious face. "I really... Like Winnie." I looked at him as he say this. Yeah. I never had a chance. I was never his girlfriend anyways. I hugged him, with tears in my face. "!" He perked up, looking at me. "I've had fun with you these past few weeks......" I started, sucking in a huge breath. "Carson, I like you." I thought he would freak out, since I've never told him how I feel. But he just smiled, and patted my head. "Thanks. I like you too." "But..." I continued, but then he put his finger on my mouth. "It's okay. Don't say it. I know. I.... Love you." I gasped, but smiled at him. "We're never going to be a couple are we?" I said, tears streaming down my face. "Thanks... For loving me. Before. But Winnie deserves you. She's nice, kind, gentle, and... Nothing like me." I peered up at him, and cried as I kissed his cheek. He blushed. "Goodbye Carson." My heart hurts and is breaking into pieces when I said this. I ran away from him.
(Extra: Carson's pov)
My heart breaks into two when she ran away. When we could have been together. When she can have a happy ending. 'How dare me. I broke her soul into separate pieces when she could have spent the summer with someone else, not having to suffer because of me.' Tears also ran down my cheeks, where she kissed it. She just didn't see it.
Heart breaking chapter ;-; it's so sad that Carson and Gemma couldn't be together....
