                                                                               *Thursday*

    This was the day, the day I will leave this school tomorrow.  The day I will tell my crush everything the plan to tell them. The worry is everything that needs to be told.  The song is picked and I am set.

      At lunch I pull Alex aside and tell her. At first she is pissed, before congradualting me about the news. Throughout the day  I avoided Joshua until the end of the day. He didn't have pracitce, but I asked him to talk about it before leaving. Pulling him to the bleachers outside on the football feild I tell him to sit so I oculd go grab my acoustic guitar.

       He gives me a confused look before I sit 2 bleachers higher than him so I can strum and look down at him. 

 "This might come as a shocker to you Joshua, but I have to tell you my 2 most important secrets. The first is I am a hidden singer and music writer. The second is... Well I hope this song tells you everything."

       With that I strumm the cords and sing

"Love Story"

We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes

And the flashback starts

I'm standing there

On a balcony in summer air

See the lights

See the party, the ball gowns

I see you make your way through the crowd

And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles

And my daddy said stay away from Juliet

And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes

Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter

And my daddy said stay away from Juliet

But you were everything to me

I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel

This love is difficult, but it's real

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess

It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh oh

I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around

My faith in you is fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone

I keep waiting for you but you never come

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet

You'll never have to be alone

I love you and that's all I really know

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress

It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

     With that I look into his eyes an dall I see is shock. Before it turns into pain.

"Jemma, good you hide that secret from me, the one that coudl be your future how could you? Then lieing and telling me you love me. Well thanks a lot now I feel like I never had a trustworthy friend."

        Holding back my tears I grab the case throughing my guitar in it. Running down the stairs I bolt to my new car. I am through my bag and case in the truck when I hear him yelling at me to come back. I roll my watery eyes and crawl into the car.

' First he was made at the first secret and the second secret he didn't even get.' After that I knew it will be hell tomorrow on my last day.

         Now I  do stop and look at him. We both were teary eyed, but I was more.

"Jemma, you know it would never work out between us. You are you, my best friend, but I can't trust you right now because of this. Just please leave me alone.
