What Are We?

"Look" I hesitate to say, "I think we shouldn't be talking anymore..."

"What?!" He exclaims. "We just got together and you don't want to talk anymore?"

"It's hard for me, okay? Things have changed-I've changed and you changed"

I choke back the tears that are willing to spill and continue what is needed for me to say

"I...um...I just can't do this anymore" I look down too scared to see his face

"Why? Why are you saying all of this?" he says softly this time.

This time I look straight to his to tell him the truth but the way he is looking at me... I just couldn't.

His eyes showing curiosity and pure sadness. His lips shaking because of the sobs he is trying to silence. He tried to get closer to me but I think he's too scared I might just disappear in his life again.

Well here's the thing....that is exactly what I'm trying to do

"I'm sorry Nathan but I just can't"

I turn around before he could ask me again. I immediately ran away with tears finally running down from my eyes.

I just can't have him know.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Up to the age of 14, Cerise Adams had an average life. She had a guy best friend since she was 5 years old. His name was Nathan Reyes and they would hang out every day. Sometimes with their friends too.

Cliche right? That was then but it's different now...

After turning 14, Cerise and her family moved out of the country because of her parents' job that led her to separate from her childhood friends, home, and memories.

Four years later she came back with her twin brother to finish their senior years in their small-town high school.

But the question here is why and what got her back to Woodlyn Heights? Does she miss it that bad or did something happen while she was gone?
