Torn Between Two

Chapter 7

I walked up to Jason. I hugged him very tight. He resisted for a moment but he hugged me back. I wonder where he has been.

“Jason, where have you been? I have missed so much. I was so worried” I said.

Jason replied, “Look this is not going to be easy to tell you but I have been chosen to act as an ambassador at a peace conference in Switzerland.”

I looked at him. I tear came down my face.

I said, “Did you accept it?”

Jason looked down at the ground.

“Yes I did accept it. I am sorry” He said.

More tears came from my eyes. I can’t believe he accepted. Doesn’t he love me and care for me? I am so upset now.

I asked, “You are sorry? Don’t you love me and care for me? It doesn’t feel like it. Why would you accept?”

Jason replied, “I do love you. I do care for you. If Switzerland needs me so bad, I need to know why.”

I said, “I see. What about us?”

“We have to break up. I do not do long distance relationships and I don’t think I will be coming back after I’m done after Switzerland. I am so sorry it has to be this way” Jason said.

A lot more tears came down my face. I can’t believe that my relationship with Jason is ending this way.

I said, “Well, I can’t believe we are ending this way. I wish we didn’t have to but I guess that is just life. You can’t really have what you really want. I will miss you no matter what. Have fun with your peace thing.”

I ran off. I went deeper into the woods. I sat down on the grass. I began crying.  I closed my eyes so I can let my tears fall.

All of a sudden, I felt someone’s arms around me.

The voice said, “Everything will be okay. I promise you that.”

I opened my eyes to see who it was. It was Tommy. I blushed so red. I am so happy to know that he followed me here to comfort me.

He pulled away a bit so he could look at my face. He wiped my tears. He kissed my cheek. I blushed redder than I was. He held me in his arms again.

I said, “Thank you Tommy.”

He said, “Your welcome.  I will always be here for you no matter what.”

I smiled a bit. I am glad to know that he will always be here for me. What a true best friend but I don’t see him like that anymore. I see him as a boyfriend but I don’t want to move on so quickly and I don’t know if he feels for me as a girlfriend.

~Next Day, At School~

I walked down the hallway to my locker. I went up to my locker. I opened it. A note falls down. I picked it up. I read it.

“Krissy,

Meet me in the park later today. I have a surprise for you”

-Tommy

I smiled. I wonder what Tommy has planned for me. I am looking forward to this. I still can’t stop thinking about Jason ever since he left yesterday. I hope Tommy can get me to stop thinking about Jason because everytime I think about Jason, I want to cry.

I closed my locker after I got the books I need. I started walking down the hallway not watching where I was going. I bumped into someone. My books fell to the floor.

The guy said, “I am sorry it was my fault. I was not watching where I was going.”

I said, “No it was my fault. I am sorry.”
