Chapter 5
"Eden, what are you doing here?" Manny asked nervously. She hadn't seen Eden since the night she told him she was in love with him and he laughed...in her face.
Eden flashed his pearly whites at Manny, "I, haven't heard from you in a while. I just thought i'd drop by to say hi." Eden thought about his carefully chosen words for a minute and then added, "Hi."
Manny couldn't help but smile. Eden, he was so...so...perfect. His soft rusty brown hair, caramel colored eyes, his sense of humor. Manny could go on for hours thinking up all the ways he was perfect.
"Oh." Manny said, suddenly feeling embarassed. She had tried to erase the memory of that day two weeks go. Now, it was all coming back to her. Her walking with Craig under the perfectly moonlit sky. She started to remember that awful feeling in her stomach. Guilt.
All that week Manny had been thinking of Eden, and that night before she and Craig ended their date, Manny had decided ot break it off. She just didn't know how. She had never really broken up with someone before, but she'd watched many shows with teen heartbreak in it, though.
~*~*~ TWO WEEKS AGO ~*~*~
'Craig, we need to talk,' Manny said as she stopped walking. Craig turned to her.
'Manny, what wrong? I told you I left my wallet at home. The next time i'll pay for the movie.' Craig said apologetically. Manny sighed he was going to make this hard on her.
'I...maybe, Craig there won't be a next time.' The words made her mouth go dry. Craig tilted his head and then smiled. Did he think it was a joke? That she really wasn't breaking up with him.
'I told you i'm sorry. I promise I'll pay the next time. Stop overreacting.' He said and began to walk again.
'Wait!' Manny said catching up with him. 'Don't you understand? There really isn't going to be a next time, Craig.' Here comes the waterworks Manny thought as her eyes started to fill with tears.
' Wha_ what are you saying Manny?' Craig asked giving her a hurt expression. It was unbearable. Seeing Craig hurt. If there was an easier way, Manny would have taken that choice, but break ups aren't easy.
Manny sighed. This was going to be hard, but she had to do it.
'I'm saying, maybe our relationship film roll has ended.' It was the easiest way she could put it. She knew he'd understand that.
'Why?' Craig asked once again getting a hurt look on his face.
'Because...I like someone else.' The next question Craig asked was who.
'Eden.' She watched Craig's hurt expression turn to an angry one.
'Eden?! Your dumping me for...for Eden?' Craig said practically yelling. Manny knew the perfect way to end this.
'We could be friends.' Manny said giving him one of her famous smiles. Craig however was not returning the smile.
'Friends? You want me to be friends with you after you break-up with me? And you break-up with me for another guy?' Craig chuckled to himself. She's nuts.
'You almost did the same thing last year. You know after our first date, the locker. I saw how you looked at Ashley. You almost dumped me for her.'
' Keyword Manny almost!' Craig said, he wasn't yelling anymore, no he was screaming. It must have effected Manny because she began to cry.
'Fine, Manny, it's over.' Craig said after a couple minutes of himself watching Manny cry.
'Please, I hope we can be friends.' Manny said composing herself. Craig had already began walking.
'Manny, i'll be friends with you, calling you, even talk to you, when hell freezes over.' And with that, he walked away.
a/n: There's more where I put Eden into this whole mess. I'm just tired. BTW in my fic Craig and Manny went out, but he didn't break-up with her 'Take My Breath Away' REVIEW PLEASE :)
