Terresse’s Side <3

 Practice just ended and I stand to get my things. As I neared my bag, I see Kyle.

“I’m leaving.” He tells me.

“Goodbye.” I say, sounding uninterested.

“I mean, I quit.” He says a little too casually.

“The play?” I ask, the tone in my voice faltering.

“No. I quit helping you.” He declares.

Something about the way he said it hurt me. I mean, what did I ever do to him.  I never gave him a hard work. All he had to do was push buttons.

Can’t he stand having me around? I thought we could be civil. At least just civil. I never demanded anything much, right?

“First of all, I’ve noticed that you’re uncomfortable with me. I think that I’m just getting in the way.” He starts saying when I don't reply.

“Second, I’m quitting because I think that this would be the best option. It’s not because I don’t… want to be with you.” He continues.

“Lastly, I’m sorry if I’ve hurt you before. I had my reasons. I hoped that we could start over but I was wrong. Good luck with Archie.” He tells me.

“What? You remembered?” I ask.

“I could never forget the first girl that I really loved.” He says.

Emphasize on “loved” – past tense.

Still, I can’t believe that all this time, he knew who I was. He didn’t forget!

And then the jerk walks away.

I wanted to call him back. He can’t just leave me. But if I do, would I be ready to have him back into my life? Would I be ready to risk again? What if things work out now but shatter later?

I’d take my chances. If anyone should be walking out, it should be me and not him.

“Kyle!” I call out. Thankfully. he turns around.

“I’m so sorry for the way I’ve behaved. Don’t go. We could start over. This time just don’t hurt me.” I tell him.

“Are you sure? There’s no turning back now.” He says and I nod as reply.

I sure hope that I won’t regret this.
