The Way Things Were and The Way Things Are (Part 5)
Comment. Tell me what you think. Please and emali me!
'Do you want to hear about my first day at my new school? :)' Elizabeth texted to Marie. 'Yeah! :)' Was her reply. Elizabeth loved this. They were actually being friends again. And she was perfectly fine with that. Even though she knew that she would always want her more than a friend.
***
After Friday it was time for spring break. It was also the night of the prom. Which she wasn't going to. But Anne went. So Elizabeth stayed home alone. But, it wasn't that bad. Marie and her had been chatting it up on webcam. She could feel herself getting dragged into all of it all over again. But that didn't phase her. She loved being happy just like this, even though she knew she would end up getting hurt anyway. And she did. Two days later Elizabeth found out that Marie and Kay were back together. It really wasn't anything new to her. It's just every time it happened Marie would just stop talking to her. She wouldn't tell her anything and whenever Elizabeth tried to talk to her she was just a complete bitch right back. It always hurt. Being told horrible and mean things. Always.
It all started in eighth grade. They were watching some choir performance that they were doing before winter break. They had been best friends for a while and when they were sitting there watching it Marie grabbed Elizabeth's hand and held it. Elizabeth didn't know what to expect at first. But, she liked it. And then Marie asked her if she started to like her more than a friend. She didn't know what to say, because she knew that she did have some feelings for her. She just wasn't sure how she could. So she just asked her the same question back. And Marie did like her more than that. So they just started dating. Elizabeth really did not want anyone to know about it. She was embarrassed and ashamed. Marie was her first kiss. Her first everything. Eventually Elizabeth told people then they told people and her parents found out. They were not happy about it. And they wouldn't let them talk anymore. But, nothing could really stop them from talking. Nothing ever did.
But now, she felt like it would all be over. She switched schools. And she wouldn't probably see her anymore. Or ever again. And that made the hurt even worse.
***
After spring break school got a little better. More people talked to her and she actually started to make friends. She had really cool new teachers and she always looked forward to seeing them. A little weird, but that is just how she was. People always teased her about how quiet she was though. It wasn't her fault she was kind of shy and didn't know how to just walk up and make conversation with someone. She only did that kind of stuff if she was around her friends and they were joking or something and going up to random people. But, being new and not knowing really anybody would just be uncomfortable. She sometimes regreted switching schools. It really wasn't helping her get over anything. She knew she would be messed up for life. Always wondering what her life could have been like if she could have stayed with Marie. Sure it was hard, but she just really wanted it.
