"He's still kissing me." I think to myself. "This is crazy."
But then I have an awful realization. Why did I have to realize this now?
I pull away from the kiss, breathless from the wonderfulness and unexpectedness.
"You can't do this. I can't do this."
I say hating every word.
"Why not?"
He says.
"Monica. You can't cheat on her. I can't make you do that. Plus she'll come after both of us if she finds out about what just happened."
I stand up and start waking towards the hallway.
"I need to go."
But I want to stay.
"Wait Ellie! I can explain."
He says catching up with me.
"Why did you do that? Why would you kiss me and lead me on? What about Monica? As much as I don't like her, she's your girlfriend. You should have thought of her before you did that."
I go to grab the doorknob but his hand stops me.
"Ellie. Please just let me explain. I have a reason."
He pleads.
"No. I need to go anyway."
As much as I enjoyed the kiss, I have to face reality. No one would do that because they love me. No one would ever want to be in a relationship with me. And that's the way it's always going to be.
"Goodbye. See you at school."
I push past him and walk down the steps and hop on my bike to go home.
He calls after me but I ignore him.
Maybe I should have listened to him. Maybe I should have just heard him out. Well it's too late anyway. Besides, it probably wasn't a reason that I wanted to hear.
As I ride into my driveway I compose myself. I dry my tears and set on a happy face. Everyone's going through enough already. I can't make mom worry about one more thing.
I walk through the door quietly just in case mom and Nate are still asleep. But they're not because my mom calls from the kitchen.
"Ellie! Come in here!"
I walk into the kitchen and see mom standing next to two boxes of pizza.
"Hey mom. What's this?"
I gesture to the pizza.
"It's lunch."
She says like it's obvious.
"Really? Already?"
I look to the clock and it reads 12:00
"Oh wow. I guess the time escaped me."
She laughs and Nate walks through the door.
"Hey Ell. What were you doing over at Timothy's eh? Why were you there so long?"
He says being the older brother that he is.
"I was doing nothing Nate. Stop being so nosy."
"I'm just watching out for my little sister."
He says poking me in the shoulder.
"Younger sister, mind you."
I say poking him back.
"Hey stop it both of you. Let's just eat now."
My mom interrupts our bickering.
"Gladly."
Nate says heading straight for the pizza boxes.
I chuckle before doing the same.
So this was a bit of a short chapter but here ya go!
I'll be updating again soon hopefully.
Tomorrow I head up to Kansas to see my cousins for thanksgiving. I'm soooo excited!!!! BUT it's a 4 hour long car trip so hopefully I'll do some writing on the way.
