"And why not? We always hit the clubs on Saturdays, Jess", he argued.
"Well, things are gonna need to change.."
"Gonna? They already have!", he said walking off.
I stood there with a blank expression on my face. Had Laura really changed me? Or had I changed myself? After school, I had baseball practice, and straight after I went home. I don't know why, but Laura made me feel guilty about one of my best friends being mad at me. I walked next door to talk to her. I looked up and saw her on the balcony. I climbed up the ladder to talk to her.
"Hey", I said sitting next to her.
"Hey Jess. How was baseball today?", she asked.
"It's just practice. Coach is working all of us up for the big game on Saturday. You're gonna be there, right?", I pressed.
"Of course. I know how much this game means to you. I wouldn't miss it for the world", she said.
We sat in silence for a few minutes. She looked over at me blankly.
"Jess, are you alright? You are kind of quiet", she asked me.
"Yeah. I am fine", I said. She looked at me again for a brief second. "No. I lied. I am not fine. Justin came up to me today, and asked me if I wanted to go clubbing on Saturday.."
"You said no right?..."
"Yeah, but why do I feel so guilty. I know this is crazy talk, but for a second I began to feel like I have changed since we got together".
She was speechless. She didn't know what to say. Finally she spoke up after moments of silence.
"You really think that?", she questioned.
I shrugged. "I don't know. Like I said. It's crazy talk. I love you and don't want you to think I don't. It's just..."
"Just what?", she asked.
"Maybe it's just an infatuation we have, and it's not really love. But we keep telling ourselves it is".
She looked down in disappointment. There was a long silence between us. An occasional cough broke the silence.
"Well, I have some news for you. I am moving to LA in 2 weeks. So maybe then you will have the time to decide if it's love or an infatuation".
"Maybe..", I asked seeming depressed.
*~*~*
Is it love? Is it love?
Is it why I fall everytime
you call? Is it love?
Really love?When you say
it's forever Is it love?
Is it love? That I'm breathing
when I dream of you
Is it always gonna be?
Will you always care
for me? It's all that
I want, all that you
need. Is it all I ever
hoped for baby?
