"Girl, what's wrong with
you?" Sarah snaps.
"Yeah, I mean...he just
poured his heart out to you. What's your deal?" Brian asks.
I turn around, tears are
flowing from my eyes, and I yell, "Do you think I wanted to do that?
Do you think I like doing that or something? I feel bad enough, I
DON'T need any lip from you guys!" I walk out the side door and start running.
Sarah looks at Brian and
says, "I better go talk to her, I don't want her to do something she'll
regret. She's not thinking clearly."
When Sarah caught up to me
I was getting into a cab. She comes running up to me and grabs my
arm.
"Where do you think you're
going?" she asks me.
"I'm going home, I'm only
causing trouble here." I say as I sit in the cab.
"No you're not. I'm
sure all of them want you here." She says
I close the door and say
to the cab driver, "Take me to Hampton Square please."
Then I look at Sarah and
say, "See you at the apartment."
---------------------------------
(The clock alarm goes off)
I reach up to turn off the
alarm, I look at the clock. 7 o'clock. I set up and slowly
get out of bed. As I do my cat Cougar jumps off the bed.
I walk into the hall and look in Sarah's door. She's laying in bed,
with my other cat, Meshach, laying next to her. I quietly call
him. As he runs out of the room, I close her door so I don't wake
her up. I walk into the kitchen and feed the cats. As they
eat I go into the bathroom and take a shower. When I'm done I walk into
my room and change. When I'm done with this I walk into the kitchen
and start cooking some breakfast. Just as I set the food on the table,
Sarah comes walking in.
"How can you get up so early."
Sarah asks me
"I wasn't very sleepy."
I say "Then I point to the table and say,
"Hurry and eat. We
need to get to the studio in an hour."
She sets down at the table
and says, "I know I know. Hey I wanted to know if we could talk about
last night. Can we?"
"I don't think I really
have a choice." I say
"Why did you do that last
night. I mean, I'm not trying to tell you what to do. But he
poured his heart out to you. And you hurt him by turning your back
on him." she says
"I didn't hurt him that
bad." I say as I pour her some orange juice.
"Suzanna Lynn, he was crying."
Sarah says
I set the bottle down and
just set there. Then I say, "I made him cry? Oh my gosh. I've
been so worried about getting myself hurt, I didn't even realize I was
hurting others."
I walk over to the couch
and sit down. Sarah gets up and sits next to me. She sits there
for a minute then says, "I know you're think you're a horrible person,
but your not. But you can't go your whole life worrying that every
person you meet will someday let you down."
"I'm scared Sarah.
I'm so scared. Because I know, no matter how much I fight it; I love
him too." I say
Sarah throws a strange look
at me and says, "You really do love him don't you? Well, you've
got a few choices. One, you can go for it, and forget about your
fears. Two, you can go on hurting him and yourself, because I know
you're dying inside right now. Or three, you can just tell him you'll
only like him as a friend and go your whole life wondering what would have
happened if you would have went for it."
"You make them all sound
so inviting" I say sarcastically
"I think you know what you
should do. But it's up to you, and you only." Sarah says as she gets
up and walks down the hall. Then she says, "I'm gonna get dressed,
be out in a while."
"OK" I say.
