Pinky Promise.
And when she was broken,
Pinky Promise | Seven.
I was flipping through my sketch pad when a car pulled up beside me. I kept walking as if I didn't notice. I just wanted to get away from school.
"You look like you need a ride."
I turned to my left and saw Shane in the driver seat.
I rolled my eyes and put one of my hands on my hip.
"Shane, what do you want?"
"You never showed up."
My heart dropped. I forgot about the lake, our lake.
"I'm sorry, something happened."
"You can explain later." He opened the door for me.
"Get in." I listened to him.
"I'm sorry, Zoey. I never met her, so I can't really feel your pain."
"She's was a great person, but now she's in a greater place."
He smiled.
"How have you been?" I asked.
He half-smiled and answered, "Uh, been better."
"Don't try to make me feel guilty."
"I wasn't trying," Shane said.
I took a deep breath.
"You're so careless."
He was taken back by what I said.
"Me?" He wondered.
"Yes, you. You never cared about me, you used me and you threw me away real fast. Too fast."
"It was a mistake," I heard him defend.
"Everything's a misake."
"Don't ever say I never cared about you."
Silent.
"What about the first time?" I asked.
He rolled his eyes. "I was honest that time, I never cheated on you until that night before you read the text."
"What'd you guys do?"
My voice was shaking.
"We just fooled around. She said she wanted to have sex, but I resisted. You came to my mind and I left."
"You didn't leave soon enough. I should've came to your mind before you even met up with her."
It was quiet again. I picked up my stuff and opened the door.
"Just don't let me go."
"Like you let go of me?" I asked. I couldn't look at him.
He didn't speak.
"Goodbye, Shane."
"Drew!" I called him from the hallway.
He turned around and I jumped onto him and kissed him passionately.
After awhile he pulled away and asked, "What was that?"
"I was afraid. I was afraid to like you. I just didn't want to get hurt. And now all I want to do is fall."
Drew smiled and took my face into his hands.
"That's what I hoped you would say," He whispered.
