Kay Bennett sat on her bed thinking back to a time when things were a lot easier and less painful. She rememebered spending the whole summer with her best friend Miguel and she also remembered how happy they were together. Kay always thought that one day maybe she'd have the nerve to tell Miguel how she felt and if luck and fate was on her side then maybe he'd feel the same way. But all of that was before she came into the picture.
Charity was sickenly sweet and ever since Miguel laid eyes on her nothing has been the same. It was always Charity this and Charity that. Not only with Miguel, it seemed that my whole family was infatuated by this blonde "angel" with no brain. I still can't believe that he's with her.
I remember one time when we were about 12 years old we were swimming down at the beach when we got out to get dressed, Miguel snuck a kiss. I was so suprised I didn't know what to do so I ran away. I didn't talk to him for like a week. I really wanted to tell him that I liked it and I wanted to be his girlfriend, but I never got the nerve. Obviously he took it to mean that I didn't like him. Little did he know that I was secretly in love with him and wanted him to kiss me all the time. But I guess that's what you get when you're shy and you don't let your feelings show.
I don't know how I'm going to tell him the truth about everything that has happened. I love him and deep down I know he loves me, but there is so much more that he needs to know besides just that. I want him to know the whole truth and not just part of it. I've been feeling really naseaus ever since I heard that they are going to get married. And if Grace makes one more of those damn tomato soup cakes, I think I'll throw it at her.
I've decided that I'm going to tell Miguel everything tonight, that is if he'll listen and if I can decide what to say.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Miguel?" "Hi it's Kay I really need to talk to you, can you meet me at the beach around 6:30?" "Okay, great I'll see you there."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Kay, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Miguel, I've been trying to think of a way to tell you this for a long time but I've never got the nerve until now. I can't let you marry Charity until you have all the facts and then you can make your own choice about the marriage. So will you hear me out?"
"Of course you're my best friend I'll listen to anything you have to say."
"Ok you might want to sit down for this. You remember when we were like 12 and you kissed me right here and I ran away?"
"Yeah, how could I forget, I was so embarassed I thought that you wanted me to kiss you and then I just went and screwed everything up. I went home and hoped and prayed that you would forgive me and still be friends with me." Miguel joked.
"Miguel, just listen to what I have to say and don't say another word until I get done. That day that you kissed me, I did want it. I just didn't know what to say or do. I was in shock. I have loved you my whole life. I was planning on telling you so many times but I couldn't get the courage to do so until now. The last time before this was at the fair, I told Reese that I was going to take you behind the hot dog stand and tell you how I felt. Then she walked up and you didn't give me a second thought. I just wanted you to know that I have done some things that I am not proud of in the name of love for you, but I'm hoping that you will give me and my love a chance. Miguel, can you do that?"
"I'm so shocked right now. I honestly don't know what to say. I think I need to go home and think about all of this. You understand don't you? I'm supposed to be getting married to Charity in 3 weeks. I don't understand how you could spring this on me now. I have to go."
I watched Miguel walk off not knowing if I should run after him or what. I decided that I would just stay on the beach to think about some things.
When I was younger I used to daydream about what it would be like when Miguel and I got married and had children, but now I think that it was just some stupid childhood fantasy. Will I ever find happiness?
Well that's the end of CH. 1 please R&R and let me know what you think.
