Chapter Eight: Apologies and Secrets
Part One: Apologies
Bill flopped down on his bed.
"You're home early." Kim noted.
He looked at her.
"What happened?"
"She showed me a song she wrote. Just after her best friend moved away." It had my name in it.
"And?"
He sighed. "I left." She looked at him incrediously. "What?" he demanded. "I was this close to telling her our secret."
"So tell her. She knew before."
"Never again, Kim. Never again."
"Just trying to be helpful."
"No, that's, that's not what I mean."
"Whatever." Kim left.
After a few minute Bill picked up the phone and dialed Keely's number.
"Hello?" Keely said.
"Keely, this is Bill-"
"What do you want?"
Bill sighed. "Look, I'm sorry about . . . earlier. I'll make it up to you, alright?"
"I'm listening."
"Is anyone home at your house? Or will be soon?"
"No," she said, puzzled, "Why?"
"Great, I'll be right over." He hung up.
(A/n: I could be mean again. . .)
Later at the Teslow Home
"Keely, open the door!" Bill said loudly. The door opened.
"Yes?" Keely said crisply.
Bill blinked. She was wearing the same red dress she had worn to the Ladies Choice Dance almost a year ago.
I try not to think about what might have been
That dance had almost been a disaster. But Via and Own had tried to fix things. And he and Keely had danced in the garage.
Cause that was then
and we have taken different roads
we cant go back again
"Keely, can I trust you with a secret? A really big secret?"
She nodded.
There's no use giving in
and There's no way to know
what might have been
He took a deep breath. "My name isn't Bill, my sister name isn't Kim, and we have one really big secret. . ."
A/n: cliffie! haha! I left you with a cliffie. Random laughter. Sry.
