Dream

Chapter 16

Christmas Eve....

        Noah texted me around noon...telling me he just made it back in town. I was happy that my boyfriend was back in town, but I felt so guilty about my feelings for Kendrick...so I decided I was going to have to tell Noah....hopefully he would understand. I walked to Noah's house to surprise him with some hot chocolate. His favorite. He has no idea I'm coming over...He told me that he just wanted to rest today, but I knew that was code for: Please come over...I miss you! The walk was short...since he lives about 2 blocks away from Lez's house...which was where I was leaving. We made up! Thank God. I told her everything about Kendrick...you should have seen the way her eyes lit up....She never had that spark when I talked about Noah. Once I was standing outside his house I froze. I had no idea if I was going to make up with Noah...or break up with him. Either way I would be sad....Staying with Noah while I was in love with Kendrick....or Breaking up with him...when he's been so good to me. He's never hurt me. I shook my thoughts. I would know what to do after we talked. I walked up to his front door and took the spare key from under the mat. I quietly unlocked the door and tiptoed in. I heard snoring from upstairs. I slowly made my way down the hall and to his room. The door was closed....right as I was about to open it....I heard a voice. I pressed my ear to the door.

        "Look....I'll break up with her after Christmas." There was a pause.

        "Why can't you do it today, Noah...I wanna be with you." I heard a girl say....but that girl's voice was familiar. I slowly pushed the door open....and there they were. Noah and.....Ginger. Noah's eyes opened wide....I dropped the hot chocolate all over the floor. I was frozen in my place. He quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me into the kitchen....I pulled away from him.

        "Kris..." He sighed.

        "How long?!" I shouted at him.

        "A few weeks...I'm sorry, but come on....we weren't even compatible!" He sighed.

        "What...."I gasped.

        "We rushed it....we skipped the whole getting to know each other part of the relationship...we just jumped into a relationship." He walked away, but I grabbed him.

        "So it's just over?" I cried....He rolled his eyes.

        "Please...don't act like you actually cared about me. I know you still care about Kendrick....so save it." He pulled away from me and went back into the room with Ginger....I ran out the house...tears streaming....I couldn't believe it was officially over...I guess we really did rush everything.
