Love Can Be bittersweet

Chapter 1: "Two loves and a torn heart"

I ran down the street below the cloudy sky. It had rained recently and the streets where soaked. What was I doing running down the street, bare foot in the depth of the night? Trying to get some fresh air and freedom. Unfortunately, I'd been spending a few weeks in Weiser, Idaho where my cousin lives so I lost my way and began to panic. To make matters worse, I heard some teenager beating up another. I hid in the shadows scarcely breathing. One of the guys ran buy but the other stayed. He lifted his head and seemed to sniff the air. Then suddenly he jerked his head in my direction and started walking toward me.

"Arashi?"

I was petrified with fear…it shoed in my eyes.

"Arashi…its me…" He caressed my cheek gently.
Arashi: Okame?

He smiled.
Okame: Yes.

Then we where interrupted. It was Camdon.

A: Cam!

Cam: what are you doing out here?

A: I was just…ya know, fresh air…

C: whose he?

Cam pointed to Okame. I opened my mouth but Okame beat me to it.

O: I'm Okame…

C: What are you doing with him at this hour?

Okame answered once more.

O: don't worry. I didn't do anything to her, Its just been so long since I've seen her…

C: Explain…Arashi...

He looked strait at me still in a suspicious way.

A: well…You see…I never…I never actually chose between you two…I love you both so much.
Okame sighed in frustration.

O: you have to choose.
C: I agree
A: but…how?
O: hmm…lets see. What if you spend a day with each of us, then decide on the third day.
C: that sounds good. How bout it?
A: o…k
O: great! I'll meat you here on the second day at 5:oo See you then, mi lady…
He stood up and bowed then leapt out of site. Camden walked over to me and helped me up. We began to walk home.
C: now it's time for you to really explain.
I sigh

A: This is going to be a looooong three days…
I began to explain everything as we walked. When we arrived, everyone else was still asleep. We went to our rooms. He hugged and bid me good night in the hall and I went into my bed.. I could tell that this was going to be a restless night. I lay in deep thought as I stared out the window
