I probably shouldn't say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we shared
It was awesome but we lost it
It's not possible for me not to care
Now we're standing in the rain
But nothing's ever gonna change until you hear, my dear
It was another dreary, rainy day in San Dimas, California as Emma sat in her Science class looking out the window, thinking about the love she lost.
Why she couldn't get the image of Joe out of her head wouldn't come to her. He was so beautiful but at the same time ugly. Not ugly on the outside but on the in.
It was an awesome relationship, amazing by some standards, all the times they spent together at there secret spot under the big Oak tree by the lake, where they shared their first hug, first kiss, and first 'I Love You'
But then she thought of all the fights they had, all the pain he had put her through. She knew that she had to say something to him but she just couldn't bring herself to. She was scared of saying anything.
"I can't do this anymore" she thought to herself "I have to say something, but I just don't know if I can."
The bell to end the day rang and as she walked out of class there she saw him. The boy that was once her dream, but now was her nightmare. She decided she had to talk to him and let him know once and for all what was wrong.
So she walked out the front doors of the school and walked right up to Joe and his friends. All of them ignored her, even Joe. It hurt her, though she wouldn't let them know that.
" Joe, we need to talk" she said as she tapped Joe on the shoulder. "What do you want?" he said as he gave her a look of pure hatred. "I need to talk to you. In private."
Joe motioned to his friends to leave and looked back over at Emma. Rain started to pour down on them. "What is it now" he groaned. "Joe" she said, " You haven't been yourself lately and its bothering me. You used to be the nicest guy, and now all you are is a jerk. That's why I broke up with you…."
"Stop" Joe interjected " I don't wanna get into this right now. Why can't we just talk about it later tonight."
"NO!" she said, slightly raising her voice. " WE NEED TO TALK NOW. If we don't talk about it you're never gunna change your ways. Nothings ever gunna change until you hear it from me."
He looked away towards his friends and just wouldn't say a word.
"FINE" she yelled. " IM DONE, I'm not dealing with this anymore I'm not gunna sit here and try to work things out when you don't even wanna listen to me." With that Emma turned toward the little dirt road that lead to their spot and left. All the while Joe stood there watching her knowing in his heart he should go after her.
At the same time while she was leaving tears started flowing from Emma's eyes. They came down hard, like the rain. When she reached the spot she had once shared with Joe she sat down on a bench. She started thinking back.
