Part III
That was it. Everything that happened in the next few days was now out of my hands. Oh sure, I had a say in a bit of it, a few minor decisions here and there. But really, when it all came down to it, my future was being decided by someone I hardly knew.
Actually, that's not quite true. I knew Lizzie very well. I had been her best friend forever. I held nothing back from her. All except for one thing. And soon, that one thing, that one secret she didn't yet know about me, wouldn't be solely mine anymore.
I had seen Lizzie open her locker. She noticed a small folded piece of paper on the floor. She slid it into her pocket as she made her way out to the buses.
I leaned back against the wall and slid along the wall to the floor. I tilted my head back and stared at the ceiling.
I wondered what she would think when she read what I had written. Knowing Lizzie, she would react one of two ways:
1) She would absolutely flip out and try obsessively hard to convince herself that what she had read was fiction, not fact.
2) She would react in one of her rare and surprisingly calm ways, taking what I had written to heart and processing rationally her course of action.
Weighing what I knew about Lizzie and her normal reaction patterns and the situation I had landed her with, I was pretty sure that she would be going with Option Number 1 and having a mental breakdown. I really hoped that she would wait until she got home to read the note, preferably when she was on a soft surface, such as her bed or a couch. I didn't want her breaking down on the bus or on a staircase or something.
I only wanted to share my feelings, not kill her.
Oh goodness, I thought suddenly, this last pondering seeming quite possible in my current, adrenaline-ed state, What have I done?
I jumped up and bolted out the door, tearing desperately towards Lizzie house.
A Note: Again, so sorry for my non-writing phase! I really am sorry people! I should have put a warning sign on each of my stories, or my profile, or something: CAUTION: Author tends to leave stories hanging without resolution.
I'm really going to try to finish all my stories, though, since I now you people love them (at least I hope you do…).
Yeah, so read, review, email, do what you want. Just no more flamers. I know I'm a terrible person, a very naughty author, I done bad, but pleeeeeeeeaaaaase don't hurt me!
There. I've said what I wanted to say. Now, go! Read! Be merry!
Love to all my readers,
