A couple minutes of waiting rose pulled up in her black convertible. Rose is my bff. We have been friends since fifth grade.
Anyways I got into the car putting on my seat belt with silence. We didn't move yet it had been a minute or so and still silence. The silence was intense. It was like a big thick quilt wrapping us up only involving us and no-one else.
I wasn't ready to be the first one to talk but I had to break the silence it was killing me. So I said " hey Rose" but not even taking a glance towards her.
She didn't say anything for a couple of seconds and then she decided to reply " what's wrong Carrissa."
I looked at her bewildered and decided to take the playing dumb role so I said " what do you mean rose?"
" joey texted me and said that you were upset that it was his fault what did he do Carrissa tell me."
" it wasn't his fault I promise you. I'm just confused, hurt, and worried Rose."
She didn't answer me. She just looked at me as if she was studying me carefully. The silence was coming again but thicker this time. I looked down at my lap about to say something but she cut me off " Carrissa I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong."
I told her everything that had happened to me in the last three hours. She just sat there listening carefully until I was finished. When I got done she said " Carrissa I'm so sorry and joey loves you he's worried about you. He thinks he did something wrong. You have to come clean with him and now."
" I want to rose but I don't know how to break it to him."
She started up the car and started to drive, but not in the direction of my house but in the direction of joey's house. I just sat in my seat scared and afraid what would I tell him. What if he breaks up with me when I tell him. What would I do if he says we can't be in a long distance relationship. I think I would die without him. I could feel tears starting to brew in my stormy eyes. I just stared outside and the tears came pouring out.
We arrived at his house and rose gave me a nod and a reassuring smile. I got out of the car and walked up to the door but very slowly.
