“When? And why can’t you? I just-I mean, i don’t care what it is…I promise, it won’t change anything. I just want to know what’s going on with you. And why the sight of Tyler scared you away. What is it? Please just tell me,” he begged, bending down so he could her directly in the eyes.

“You don’t understand.I promised you I wouldn’t lie…but I’m not ready to tell you the truth about this yet. I promise…it’s not a huge deal. It’s not going to affect anything now…it’s not going to affect us-well our friendship,I mean,” she explained, correcting herself quickly.

There was a long pause, both looking away from each other. Again, Chris was the one to break the awkward silence with “Alright…I mean, if you can’t tell me, then I get it But I really hope you’re right about this not effecting our friendship. Because even though I’ve only known you for a day-I don’t really know how to say this right-I feel like I’ve known you forever. Like you’re an important part of my life already.”
