Broken With You

5: Secrets

What are you going to do? It has been stuck in my head for days. What am I going to do? Everyone has secrets....I just forgot that Jace has some too. I avoided him at school for two days. I had to get my thoughts together. I don't know what I'm going to say to him.

Oh so you're going to listen to me? To yourself, I mean.

Stop talking to me!

Stop responding then. But you can't because.....because of what?

I don't know.

Wrong. Because of what?

Because I need to second guess myself.

Correct. See you're finally starting to trust me. Trust yourself. Now walk up to his little, handsome ass and pull out his secrets....one by one.

All his secrets? I don't know if I'm ready to know every single one of....

Ok not all of them at once, but you know what I mean so stop acting slow. You two are in a relationship. You have told him a good amount of information about yourself. It's only fair if he does the same.

You're right. I mean, I'm right. I think all this talking to myself is making me go crazy.

Crazy, but smart.

Yeah, whatever. I'm on my way to my new job. I realized that I needed to get a steady amount of money, rather than a couple of dollars from Ling. So I took up a job at one of the clothing shops for teens. Ling recommended me and I got the job easily. As part of the job I get a discount off all the clothes and I get to wear the newest clothes, so people will ask about it and eventually buy it. It's one of the most popular stores in town, so I will get good pay. But I definitely know that I'm going to see Jace here since anyone with good fashion goes here.

I'm at the register finishing ringing someone up when I see Jace behind the customer looking at me. I look away from him and give the customer her change and receipt. Once she grabs her bags she leaves slowly, but not slow enough. Then Jace walks up to the counter and crosses his arms. I know he wants an explanation, but he's not going to get one. At least not now.

Because you don't know what to say?

Yeah, but I still want to make him mad so shut up.

Yeah, you are going crazy. You just told yourself to shut up.

So what? Myself is being annoying. I just look at him and he looks at me. The silence was becoming too much for me so I called Lennie over and asked for her to come over and handle the register while I restock. After she nods, I walk away quickly but of course not quick enough.

"What is going on with you?", he asks me in an annoyed voice. I don't respond.

"What did I do? I really don't know." Liar. He knows that he doesn't tell me anything secretive. I look at him and just roll my eyes.

I pick up a box next to the registers and I go to the girl aisle and start unpacking shirts. Jace sighs and grabs the box from my hands and puts it on the ground, then he turns me around to face him.

"What. Did. I. Do?", he asks me. He looks at me deeply. And I have to say that I missed his eyes. I love looking at them. But now is not the time to stare at him. So I decide to give him something to think about.

"Over time you are supposed to get to know the person you're dating. The longer we're together, the more I realize I don't know about you....It sounds crazy how I don't know the guy I'm dating. I just....I can't deal with this right now." I walk away from him and quickly go to the storage room. I slide down on the door. I drop my head into my hands and I breath.

I like Jace so much. And I know he likes me too. I just wonder what will happen to us, to our relationship if he doesn't tell me anything.....

.....if he doesn't let me in.

I KNOW ITS SHORT, BUT IT'S GOOD. RIGHT? WELL DON'T BE A GHOST, COMMENT WHAT YOU THINK AND VOTE!!!
