Broadway Bound

Sometimes They're Sweet

It was the day after my burst, and I just didn't go to rehearsal, I instead called in sick.

Luke, was nonstop calling me, texting me, all that. I literally felt like throwing my phone at the wall.
That feeling you get when you play flappy bird.

That was my feeling for the next few days.

I went to rehearsal every day, cause no one was getting in the middle of my dreams.

Every rehearsal I would fortunately be called to do practice recording, so I don't have to see Luke or that bitch Melissa.

But today was different, sadly.

We had recordings, but today Luke was on the other side of the glass while I recorded.

He kept making these weird facial expressions every time I would hit ️he high notes.

I finally finished and tried to rush out the room.

He followed me out and grabbed me by the arm.

He did the same thing he did last time.

Look at my scars.

"Let go of me please." I said,being the stubborn bitch I am.

"Listen please!" He said not letting go.

"Fine. Jeez." I pulled my arm aways d crossed my arms making a suspicious face.

"Look Melissa tricked me and stuff went down, but you have to believe me, I like you not her!" He said.

"Did you kiss her?" I asked.

"No I promise." He said with a serious face.

I thought about it. Being the first guy to actually like me, I thought of giving him a second chance. But I thought that giving him another chance would be weak so I didn't want to.

Me being the weakling I am, gave him a second chance.

"Thank you." He said with a sigh of relief.

He came in for a hug and I decide Sri hug him back.

Then he pulled back, looked at me, picked up my arms and questioned "what is this?" He said with a sad face.

"It's kind of a long depressing story." I said.

"Well we are leaving now, and I have time. Can we go to a restaurant and talk?" He said picking up his bag and coat.

"If you want I guess." I said.

"Let's go." He said leading his arm for me to go first.

I told him everything, my mom dying, suicide attempt, cutting, depression, 9 year late break down, everything.

He was shocked, as anyone would be, because that's like a lot of serious stuff to take in at a crusty table at McDonald's.

"Are you like- okay now?" He said still in shock, surprised that I said all this so easily.

"Ya I guess. I mean I wouldn't say I'm fully recovered, but I'm good for now."
I said.

"Anytime you need anything I'm here, just know." He said.

"Okay." I said smiling.

We then continued to better subjects like celebrity gossip and crap like that, normal teenager stuff.

When we left, Luke walked me home.
When we finally reached my house,he stopped.

"So, what are we?" He said.

"Friends for now, please." I said.

"Okay, for you. But know, I will not stop liking you." He said going for a handshake.

But I decided a hug was a little more friendly.

"Well I'll talk to you later and see you tomorrow." He said walking away.

"Bye!" I yelled waving and smiling.

As I walked to the apartment, I thought. Wow he's actually really sweet. He's not a douchebag.

Lesson learned from this, boys:

Sometimes they're sweet, like today.

But you never know if tomorrow, they'll be salty.
