Almost is Never Enough

Keeping Secrets

"I can't believe today is my last day of freshman year in high school, I'm feeling so much at the same time and I don't know what to think anymore."
*She walks to her first block class*
"I really want to be happy with Dustin, but I'm afraid that he's not committed to being with me."
*She looks down at the ground and sighs*
"I've known him for two years now and I trust him with so much, I just want us to work."
*She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath*
"I just need to talk to him that's all and I think everything should be fine."
*Dustin walks up to Angelica smiling*
"Hey Ang."
"Hi Dustin, what's up?" She responds back.
"I've been thinking about everything and this being the last day of school has really made me realize what this summer holds for us...you know?" He explains to her.
"Ya of course, I just wanted you to know that I care about you so much and I can't imagine what it would be like without you, my best friend and my boyfriend." Angelica says.
"Look Ang...there's something else I wanted to talk to you about, I just hope you won't take it the wrong way." Dustin says with a worried tone.
"Dustin you can always tell me anything no matter what, I promise I will always be open to try to understand anything you tell me." She explains.
"I...um...I want to..." He stutters nervously.
"Dustin there's nothing be afraid of just tell me please." She says with a calming tone.
"I want to move to New York City..." Dustin finally says.
"Oh...well look here's the thing, of course this is going to be hard for me to take, but I can't stop you from doing this. I need to respect the choices you make and be there to support you through them." Angelica explains.
"Look Angelica...there's something else I've been meaning to tell you, I just couldn't find the right time. I want to move to New York City because I met another girl..." Dustin explains anxiously.
"Wait...Dustin come on what are you trying to say here...?" Angelica replies with no spirit left in her tone.
"I've liked someone else and I've been hiding it from you for about two months now...I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am. I feel awful and I can't even imagine how hurt you must be feeling right now..." Dustin explains with guilt.
"I can't do this right now...I just can't do this anymore. I have to go...thank you for an endless amount of memories. I just wish they didn't all have to be lies."
*Angelica turns around and walks away with her eyes watering, trying to fight back the urge to cry*
