As soon as I was out of the room, I didn't know where to go or what to do. And I seriously didn't think Chris was gonna follow me out here this time.
I collapsed on the side walk, sitting on the curb.
All I could think about was our kiss. I hadn't expected him to kiss me back with such force and passion. I had felt a spark, and to be quite honest, I had liked it.
But, at the same time I felt so guilty like I was betraying Josh.
My fingers enclosed the necklace Josh had given me. Oh, why did you leave me? I thought. Everything is so complicated and absurd without you. God, Josh, I'm so sorry.
"Don't feel like you've done something wrong." a voice said from behind me,
I jumped. Justin was standing over me. Could he read minds or something?
I watched him as he sat down.
"You haven't, you know."
"How do you figure that?" I asked.
"You can't help having feelings from someone. And you defiantly can't help someone having feelings for you.
"I know, but. . . "
"You feel guilty?"
I nodded.
"Do you know what I think?"
"What?"
"JC is probably glad you found someone to watch over you and love you until he can be with you again. And Chris is a good guy/ If this whole situation was switched around, I would only hope that Katie could find someone as worthy as him."
I sighed.
"Do you love him?" Justin asked.
"As a friend," I answered. "But, for some reason my heart is telling me to give our relationship a try."
Justin smiled. "Than I've done my job." he nodded his head to the building. "Chris is in there right now answering question about you. I know he really cares about you."
I leaned over and gave Justin a hug. "Thanks for the advice."
He smiled. "No problem."
