NaNoWriMo Novel: Ch.5 Can't
Tomorrow I call up Chris.
“Hey, can you come pick me up. I need to talk to you.â?
“Ok, everything alright?â?
“Ya.”
Within a couple of minutes I hear the honk of the horn. I come down the stairs and kiss Edwin bye.
“I am going out for a momment, be back soon.â?
“Ok,â? He kisses me back.
I run out the door and go into his car. We drive to the lake. Music is turned up like usual, but this time I did not sing. When we arrive, we walk and sit on the grass.
“Chris?â? I say getting his attention.
He looks at me with a smile, but it falls when he sees the concern on my face. I look down and sigh.
“I can’t do this anymore, being here with you. Edwin has been through so much…â?
“This is all about him?â? He interupts, “What about what you want?â?
“It doesn’t matter what I want, I am going to be married Chris. I can’t…â?
“What? You can’t be with me because you feel bad for Edwin!?â?
“I am sorry…â?
