So I wish this beautiful show wasn't cancelled but, it is and I guess I must accept that. But it's completely fine because at least I'll love the ending because I'm doing the writing.

Secrets Are The New Thing
"So let me get this straight you managed to hid an entire secret life from both your boss and your brother all by yourself this whole time?" Eli gasped in shock and a bit of admiration.
They had went for some ice cream as Jane filled him in on her crazy life.
"Well not by myself. I did have Billy..." her voice trailed off in sadness and the past tense usage of her words.
She pushed around her remaining ice cream with her spoon.
"Oh right, the best friend who was on stage that you're obviously in love with," he said as if it were common knowledge.
Her voice plugged up and she just looked at him, not sure how to respond.
Eli looked up at her from his ice cream and smiled.
"Oh come on I'm not a complete idiot. You should hear yourself talk about him. I can't say I'm not a little disappointed but, then again I guess it doesn't matter because you're sorta underaged," he joked and she stayed silent.
"Yeah well lets just say I missed my chance," she muttered solemnly.
Eli laughed aloud and she narrowed her eyes.
"Are you laughing at my failed nonexistent love life?"
He shook his head and tried to catch his breath.
"No, no...I just can't believe I didn't realize you were in high school. It makes so much sense," he said and her face sunk.
He caught on to her offense.
"I just mean you have such a pure and innocent heart. Usually the world crushes that by twenty five," he said and she relaxed.
"Thanks I guess."
She continued to play with the ice cream.
"Look if you guys are really best friends it shouldn't matter what chances you miss and don't miss. You're in high school Jane. Nothing is permanent. I'm sure whatever girl he's dating at the moment is probably gorgeous and fun and everything a guy could want-"
"You're not exactly helping-"
"But she's temporary and you aren't. You'll get another chance unless he's planning on getting married tomorrow. Hell, why don't you just go ahead and tell him now. No time like the present," Eli said smirking.
"I was but, he...she...they...he really likes her and I don't have a right to mess with that."
Her eyes were tearing up again.
Eli stared at her sympathetically.
"Key word like Jane. He's not in love. It's an infatuation and usually sex confuses that. I know it sucks but, it'll be ok," he reassured her.
A tear dropped from her eye but, he reached over a wiped it.
"Come on let me get you home," he said taking her hand.
She rose up and followed him thankful to have someone else in on her big secret.

Jane woke up in a daze.
She thought of all the things that happened and she cringed.
Billy.
Billy slept with Zoe.
In her bed.
The old sheets laid in the corner waiting to be incinerated.
She pulled herself up and hurriedly got ready for school because she was already late.
When she got to school she just about sprinted to class.
"Nice of you to join us Ms. Quimby," her teacher said and then she took her seat.
She could see Billy out of the side of her eye but, she just looked forward.
She wanted to concentrate on getting over everything she was feeling.
She wanted out.
When the bell rang she flew out, not bothering to look behind her.
She walked fast determined to avoid Billy.
She managed to avoid him most of the day, that is, until lunch.
She snuck to her locker trading her books.
When she closed it she was surprised by none other than Billy.
"Hey where have you been all day?" he asked and she tried to contain herself.
Billy knew her too well.
She could give no signs.
"Sorry, I've just been busy," she said making an excuse.
"Busy? Doing what?"
"Just stuff. Look I've got to get to work," she said quickly and then turned and went off to drown herself in bitterness.
