i was finally happy.

subbenly. the doors were flung open. i watched, shocked.
lisa stood before me. dressed in only jeans and t-shirt.

"lisa"i watched"why are you wedding is in 2 weeks and we have alot thing to do."
"no,simon,there's no need for that,"she said, getting her head down.
"what do you mean?"i looked at her in confusion.
"i want to talk"she said i looked at her in shocked i knew that words. the cold, distant face of her,the determined set of her mouth.

i wanna know what that means do i gathered the strenght to speak"about what"
she didnt even hesitate to she."No. i dont think we should get married."

i froze in place , stunned that she would reject me so quickly ."no?. you...you dont even want to think about it?"
"no, i don't. i'm not interested in marrying you, simon. not now,not ever."
it felt like the wind had been knocked out of me. i couldn;t get enough blurred my eyes, but i puched them back as i looked at her . the feeling of betrayl stiring deep within my gut.

"but...but why, lisa? don't you love me at all?"
"no i dont, you should know by now the name of the only person i love - and it's not you."

the boy never judged me.

"i...dont understand. why did you agree to go out with me in the first place if you didnt love me?"
lisa turned her heads up in the air frustration."because i was lonely, simon. and you were my friend,a nd you had this huge crush on me , so i thought if we dated and you realized that there would never be anyhting between us,
you'd break up with me and finally let go of this fantasy you have os us being together, but like the stupid idiot that you are, the massage isn't getting throught that thick skull ot yours!"

"message? what massage is that?"

she stare."there's only one person who can fll the void in my heart- only one person i will ever truly love, and that's donny. you need to understand that and move on with your life. i will never be yours, and there was between us always friendship. sorry" with that word she leave me alone is despire
