FLYING
HIGH
Chapter fifteen
My head spun as I assessed the situation
going on around me. I had so much freedom right now, the freedom
to make a choice about my life and what was going to happen in my
future. For once I got to make the descision instead of having
people make them for me. But what if I wasn't ready to make
this descion? Yeah, Alex had treated me like crap. But slowly I
had begun to actually feel something for him and I wasn't
ready to say goodbye to that yet. Whereas Ben had been a perfect
gentleman to me and was a great friend. I didn't know my
feelings towards him but I didn't want to lose him
either.
"I-I-," I stutterred.
"Yes?" They encouraged.
"I need air," I said and rushed out of their.
I ran down the road and to an old park. I sat by the bench
overlooking the lake and tears streamed down my face. I don't
know why I was crying, shouldn't I be happy that I got to
choose what I wanted? But I didn't want either of them to
leave me. I looked down at my dress, it was covered in dirt
at the bottom and leaves clung to it. It started to rain right at
that moment. Right, like my night couldn't get any worse.
"You okay?" A voice asked.
I turned to see Alex standing over me. He came and sat beside me
in the rain.
"I'm sorry," he apologised. "I thought I was
doing the right thing but I only just realised that I kind of put
you on the spot."
I just nodded. We sat like that for a while, in a comfortable
silence.
"You know, I totally get why you would choose Ben. I screwed
up, big time. But I love you, Jessica Green. And I always
have."
