I licked my dry lips. I was too nervous. I don't know where I got the guts to do this. What if he didn't agree? He would crush my heart into a million pieces. It's too hard. I should walk away. NOW.
Too bad my heart and mind didn't agree. One part said 'tell him!' The other said 'he's not worth it'. No. I can't walk away now. I've been waiting for 4 years to do this. 4 years of pain. I can't take another year. It has to come out. NOW.
I knocked on the door.
"I'll get it!" Zac said.
Suddenly the door swung open. We stayed silent for a few minutes, but Zac broke the silence. Zac Efron, my best friend for years, finally came to look like a man. Zac Efron, the hot and sexy, always followed around by paparazzi.
"Ashley! What are you doing here?"
"I came to check on your acting skills."
Dang! I am too corny. I don't think he'll believe me. Besides, when did I ever care about his acting skills? I wanted to say something else. But again, it wouldn't come out.
"Yeah right, Ash. Like I believe that"
"Man. You're just not that gullible anymore!"
"Wanna stay for dinner? Or I'll take you out myself?"
"Okay. Get your keys."
What if he thinks something's going on? I just waited. I heard keys jingling.
"Honey, where are you going?"Starla, Zac's mom said.
"Taking Ash out. Don't worry; I'll try to get home early!"
"Ooh! Zac and Ash are going out together!"Dylan, the little squirt, screamed.
"Shut up Dylan."
He ran to me, hugging me tight. I haven't seen him for months. Always out at premiers, you know what actors do. He barely spends time with me. I waited. Waited for months. I missed those hugs so much. I should really tell him. Should I?
