Our kind of love

chapter 7

Deans pov

Why am I here? Why am I on this date when I could be with Becca? She's at home now all alone because I'm here on some date I don't even care about. I need to get out of here. I need to be with becca. But how?
"So how's the food?" I ask to my date who's sitting across from me. Geez I don't even remember her name. "Its great and this place is-" she says only to be cut off by my phone ringing. Yes I'm saved by the bell or well ring. "Sorry I have to take this" i say as I push my chair out from the table and standing up. "Oh go I ahead I need to use the lady's room anyway." With that I'm gone. Say no more whatever your name is.
"Hello" I say into the phone. "Hey man whats up?" My buddy Shawn asks. "Kinda on a date right now that I'm trying to find a way out?" "Yikes man sounds rough." He grits through the phone knowing he's glad he's not me. "I feel bad I cancelled on Becca for this. What was I thinking?" As rhetorically ask while face palming myself. "Dude just make up some excuse why you have to leave and go see her." "You're right thanks man." I respond then hang up the phone. I rush inside the restaurant and see my date sitting back at the table. "I'm so sorry but I have to go my... mom is in the hospital." I blurt out. "Oh my gosh go. Go she needs you, I'll call my dad to come pick me up now go." She tells convinced my mom is actually in the hospital. It kind of makes me feel bad but I can't think about that right now I need to go see Becca. "Thanks" is all I yell back at her as I'm running to my car. I speed toward Becca's house not caring about whatever traffic laws I'm breaking. This is my best friend that we're talking about and I just bailed on her. I pull my car into her driveway and run up to the door. "BECCA ITS ME OPEN UP!" I yell as I'm pounding on the door. After a minute I hear the sound of the door being unlocked and I'm shocked when it opens reveling a girl who looks so much like Becca only with puffy red eyes and tear stains down her cheeks. "Becca" is all I can muster out. The look she gives me breaks my heart as tears start to trickle down her cheeks again. "Why can't you love me?" She says through heavy breaths and tears. "Becca what do you mean? You know I love you. You're my best friend." Thinking that would make her feel better I was taken back when she started crying harder. "I love you Dean. I love you as so much more than a best friend. It kills me to see all those girls flirting with you and then you cancelling to go out on that date... I want you to be happy but it hurts so much. Why can't you just love me back?" I stand there absolutely astonished by what she just said. I'm speechless but I have to say something. "Becca I'm sorry." I say wishing I could make her feel better but I can't. I don't see her the same way. "I think I just need some time. I'm sorry." She mutters as she closes the door. I stand there on her porch not knowing what to do, what to say, what to feel, what to think. All I do is stand there facing the closed door. "Becca" I whisper to myself before I turn away to car.
