The Lake

The Lake Part 2

Nikki

I waited until Steven was gone to sit next to Josh. I still couldn't believe he kissed me. It's all I wanted my whole life, but then I have Steven, who I love more.

"I'm sorry." Said Josh, he wouldn't look up, but I could see his eyes through his bangs and he was crying.

"For what?" I said, I knew I had to say something. It would be awkward if I didn't.

That's when he looked up at me, and I could see his eye. Steven had punched it badly. It was really swollen and big.

"I kissed you, and I shouldn't of." He finally said, he was crying. But I couldn't tell if it was from the kiss, or his eye.

"It's okay." I said looking away, I was gonna start to cry.

"Look at the sunset." He said, looking up.

I moved my head over, and looked. It was gorgeous. The sun was going behind the clouds and the clouds were turning purple and orange.

As I was looking, I felt Josh grab my hand. I let him hold it, I didn't want to let go. But that's when my phone went off.

I picked up my phone but it was a unknown number, and I answered it.

"Hello?" I said, I was scared.

"Nikki? Is that you?" It was Steven.

"Yes, it's me."

"Meet me over by the big rock, alone." And he hung up.

I put down my phone and looked at Josh, "I have to go." I said, I could see the hope drain from his eyes.

"Please stay." He said.

"I can't, but I promise I'll sit on the bus with you tomorrow."

"Deal."

We both stood up, and he let go of my hand, but before I left he gave me a kiss on the cheek and ran away.

I started walking, but I thought I heard something behind me so I started running. But that when I heard Josh scream my name.
