Confused Feelings

I slowly walked to my bedroom, thinking about what just happened. I felt like I was walking on air with him. But we are just…friends. Tears streamed down my face. I was so confused. I spent the year after our fight saying I didn't care about him, now I'm not so sure. He remembered everything about me; I don't even remember his middle name.

I fell asleep thinking about Eric, what was wrong with me. They next morning Eric came right after I finished my breakfast. I still couldn't talk, so I kept a pen and notebook in my pocket.

"Want to go on a walk in the woods?" Eric asked when he walked in.

I turned to Dad.

"Knock yourself out," He replied not looking up from his newspaper.

"Why not?" I wrote. He held his hand out.

"Shall we?"

I smiled and took his hand. We walked into the woods hand in hand. It was just beautiful. We came to lake, which was more beautiful than the woods. I turned to go back when Eric grabbed me by my arm.

"Where do you think you are going?"

I took out my notebook and wrote "Back the other way, we can't walk on water."

"No, but we can float," he said pointing to a small boat.

I watched him dragged the boat into the lake.

"Hop on!"

I carefully stepped on.
