A few months had passed from the day when Cheryl and Kimberley had decided to be special friends. However the frequent visits and the time spent together was having its affect on both girls. Cheryl and Kim both felt that the feelings they decided to try and push away were just getting stonger and Cheryl's love for Josh was starting to fade. One day as the girls were together, Cheryl turned to Kimberly "Kim I don't know what to do." She quietly mumbled. "What do you mean, babe?" Asked Kimberley in return, putting her hand gently on Chez's leg.
"I think that I can't carry on being near you when I know that I can't actually... do anything with you." Chez answered, trying to find the right words. "Do anything... as in?" Kim started getting worried. "Do something as in hold you for example." Cheryl replied. "You can hold me, I've never disallowed you that." Kim replied. "I mean hold you as in hug you in a romantic way." Cheryl explained. "Oh Cheryl..."
Chapter One
"Kimberley, I know how this sounds and I know we agreed on being friends but I feel like I can't do it." Cheryl said as her voice started to break. "Cheryl... I don't know what to say to that. I already screwed up the chance to be with you and now you're married to Josh..." Kimberley replied, knowingly puttin the blame on herself. "You have no idea how much I wish I didn't marry Josh right now." Cheryl squealed. "Cheryl, don't. Don't even get that idea in your head. You made a choice, don't regret it now." Kimberley said as she tried to deny her feelings that made her want to kiss Cheryl.
"I do regret it! And I wont deny it! I know that you're too good of a person to let me cheat on Josh, but it doesn't matter, I am saying the truth right here, right now. I wish you never left, I wish we never had that fight and god how I wish you wouldn't have shown up in the church because that was the thing that made me do it the most. I wanted to avenge you for leaving me." Cheryl said as her voice balanced between screaming and crying.
"You're not the only one who regrets what I did okay? You have no idea what I felt after leaving you!" Said Kim as she raised her voice a bit. "Well you failed to show it!" Cheryl yelled. "I know!" Kimberley shouted as she got up, took a notebook from her drawer and walked towards the door. "I don't want this to tunr out like it did the last time so I'm ending it before it ends us." She said as she threw the notebook to Cheryl and walked out of the room.
Angry Cheryl thought about throwing the book after Kimberley but she couldn't do it once she saw what was written on it. "The Things I Wish You Knew" it said, in gold writing, just like Kimberley's name on the other notebook Cheryl had found when Kim caught her under the bed. She looked at it for a while and decided to open it. She started reading it.
"I never got to tell you what you meant to me. I never got the chance to say that I care only for you. Waking up with you in the same apartment every day was a blessing that I took for granted. I never got to tell you that you were the reason I felt joy in a long time. Every moment I had with you was a moment I didn't want to end. Every time you smiled, I felt something deep inside of me light up. Every time you cried, I wanted to terminate the reason of your sorrow. All the moments we shared were something I will forever cherish. And all the time we had, will always be the best memory of my life. No matter what happens from here on, I will forever care and look out for you. I will be there whenever you need me. Ańd I will protect you no matter what it takes. If I could give my life for you, I would. I am very deeply and still very madly in love with you.
Cheryl read the lines over and over again just to make sure that she got everything right. Seeing those words in Kimberley's perfect handwriting made her cry and regret marrying Josh even more. She knew that Kimberley had gone to the roof because that's where Cheryl had run back in the day. She followed her there. "Kimberley?" She asked quietly as she saw Kim standing near the edge of the roof. "I guess you read it?" Kim replied with a voice that had signs of her crying. "I did." Cheryl replied as she stepped behind Kimberley and put her arms around her loved one.
"Cheryl..." Kimberley tried to stop her friend but the comfort of Cheryl's embrace was too good to lose. "Don't say anything." Cheryl whispered as the two girls stood in the evening darkness. "If I died tonight, I've had the time of my life." Kimberley whispered as she leaned towards Cheryl. "Remember what you wrote? That you will protect me no matter what it took?" Cheryl reminded. "Of course I remember." Kim replied. "We'll this is killing me and it's your time to do what you said you would do. And the cost of it being my faithfulness to Josh." Cheryl whispered, hardly beliving saying it.
"But it's Josh, he's like a brother to me." Kim tried to argue. "Kimberley, I love him too but I love you more and I need to be with you." Cheryl said as she held Kim stronger. This was it, it was make or break time. What would Kimberley say?
