The Three Soulmates: Datalie

3.

Well here we are, grade Twelve David and I are supposed to be graduating together in the next could of days but David's vine career was taking off over the past few months and obviously I was proud but don't get me wrong but I was scared that me and David wouldn't be going to collage together and I guess that's okay but I always imagined David would realize that he's been in love with me the whole time once we graduated but I want him to have everything he wants because I really do love him.

"Natalie?" David asks "what are you thinking about?" he asks "you" I say looking out of his bedroom window "why?" He asks, David sounded so confused as towhy i'd even say that "I'm just happy that you finally found a job that your happy with" I say smiling at him "I'm so happy that I have you Nat" he says smiling at me "i'm not exactly sure if I'd be the same person I am right now without you" he continues "you made me who I am" I say getting closer to him.

"Natalie.." he says softly "yes?" I reply "I like you" he says "You like me?" I ask "how so?" I continue "I like, like you" he says lightly laughing "I like, like you too" I say smiling at David "why are you saying this now" I pause after so long?" I ask "well the truth is I've had the biggest crush on you ever since I met you back in grade nine but I never thought you felt the same way about me so I never said anything" he admits.

I smile as David admits his feelings "I've liked you ever since you moved next to me" I say smiling as I admit my feelings that have been bottled up for years "I'm sorry it took me so long to admit this" he says softly "it's okay Dave" I saying coming closer to him "can I kiss you?" I ask "yes" he says softly, I then press my lips against his feeling Sparks I really did love David, He was my soulmate and I couldn't keep denying it, he then pulls away to catch his breath "wow" he says smiling "wow, what?" I ask "I never thought I needed that so much until right now" he says laughing.

"Dave a question I have to ask is" I stop and get ready for the reply I'll be getting "Is there a catch to this? Like your leaving to do your vine career and we can't do anything to be together right now" I say "Natalie, I do like you but I need to do this, I need to do my vine career and see what this has in store for me" he explains "but I love you.." I say as a tear forms and travels down my cheek "I love you too Natalie, it's not that I don't want to be with you it's just that we're both going to separate ways right now but if we're meant to be together we will find each other again and we are obviously going to stay friends no matter what" he says reassuring me, I knew he was right but I didn't want it to be but I know i'd have to accept it.

Graduation finally arrived but today felt wrong, David and I we're still friends of course but I knew we were more than that but we obviously couldn't do anything about that and if i was going to honest it really broke my heart, but today is supposed to be a happy day but all I can think about is David and how much it hurts me that this is happening.

As I sit there in sadness I then hear a yell coming from behind me it was David of course "NATALIE!" He says running over to me I then give the biggest hug that I could give him knowing that we'd be separated sooner than later "congratulations!" He says smiling "congratulation Davey" I say smiling "you know I hate that nickname Nat" he says smiling at me "yeah?" I pause well, I love it" I say smiling at him.

"Lets saviour this moment and and take a picture!" I suggest to David "sounds good nat" he says smiling back at me, If I was going to be honest I just wanted a picture of David and I so I could look back at it and feel something once we have to separate but it's not like we won't ever see each other again, growing up sucks.
