The Confession Chapter 10! ^^

  Nicole clutched her can of Pepsi tightly, looking down at the ground. Why is Christine asking this question? Is she interested in Tim too? Nicole started to panick. She did not want to hurt Christine, yet she could not bring herself to lie... After all, Christine was her best friend.

  "Um..." Nicole studied Christine's face carefully. Christine's face was uncertain, but she still tried to hold on to the last ounce of hope. She hoped... that Nicole might have had already given up on Tim. However, deep down inside, she knew perfectly well that it is impossible. Yet, she continued to hope...

  "Yes. I like Tim! So much so that I can't stop now..." Nicole finally mustered the courage to mumbled. It all happened in a few seconds. Christine's face turned. The hope was now replaced by disappointment and defeat. She studied her shoes, expressionless.

  "Hmm..." She nodded her head quietly. There they sat, in an unbearable silence. No one spoke.

  "Why will you ask such a question?" Nicole finally broke the silence. Christine stared at her, slightly taken aback by her question. She thought about it. However, she just could not come up with an answer. She had no idea why she cared. Until Nicole asked again...

  "Did you like Tim too?" Nicole waited patiently for Christine's answer. Christine was shock. Very shock, indeed. She had never really thought about this before, but now that she did...

  It was all so obvious now. Christine finally understand why she kept on daydreaming about Tim all day. Why she longed for his love so much... Why she had an impulse to understand everything about him... It all made perfect sense now. The joy she felt whenever Tim was around, the way she could not take her eyes off him and how her heart reacted every time she sees him. She liked Tim. They way Nicole did...

  Christine nodded her head. She still could not get over the fact that both of them were in love with the same guy... The more she thought, the more upset she get.

  Christine could feel the tears she had been suppressing for the past few minutes... The tears that started to build up when Nicole told her that she liked Tim too... The tears that was trying to make their way out... She was this close to crumpling. (in front of Nicole)

  "I really should get home now. It's late~" Christine turned and started to head home. She could no longer hold it anymore! She started running, gulping for air. The tears started to fall. She wiped them away with her hands, however the tears kept on coming. She sniffed, then stopped finally when she realised that she was safe. No one will see her, especially Nicole.

  She breathed in slowly, trying to calm herself down. Yet, the tears were uncontrollable. They just kept pushing their way out. Christine crouched down on the ground. There, she crouched. Crying under the moonlight, for a long long time.

  When the tears finally stopped, Christine stood up. She tried to convince herself that it didn't matter. So what if they both liked Tim? However, her heart pained every time she thought about it. Why is it that so? Why?

  She could tell from Nicole's voice that she could not help it. She just could not give up on Tim although she did try. She knew that there's no way she could go out with Tim without hurting their friendship. Nicole will definitely mind, she is sure. However, she could not bear the thought of giving up on Tim. Is Nicole's friendship more important or will Tim matter more? Christine heted this. She hate to make choices like this. Both Tim and Nicole were important... But who is more important?

  "My life sucks." Christine mumbled to herself.


Nicole's Diary


1st March 2011
Dear Diary,
  What should I do now? It's confirmed. Both Christine and I were in love with Tim... (Although he is a jerk.) Christine was so upset that she even ran away. I tried to chase after her, but she's too fast for me... I am very worried about her. I feel so guilty!
  I am very confused now. How am I going to face Christine tomorrow in school? Will we still be friends? I hope so...




  Nicole sighed, closing her diary. She felt awful now. Will Christine blame her? She really had no idea what to do...

  What will Christine do? What will happen between the two best friends? Will they still be friends or enemies? For a boy like Tim...
