"Dinah honey, you have a visitor," my mom said shaking me a little, "would you like me to tell them to come back later?"
"No, no, it's ok. I'm awake," it was the truth I hadn't gone back to sleep after Katie's phone call.
"Ok, I'll send her back, just don't overdue things," she told me in a slightly worried voice.
"I won't, we'll probably just talk, nothing to worry about."
"Ok," she left and a few minutes later Katie came in. She walked up to me and gave me a gentle hug as a way of saying
'hey, how are you, hope you're feeling better.' Letting go she sat on the edge of the bed and waited for me to start. The
silence dragged on, what was I supposed to tell her? Was I actually going to tell her about Jeremy and I, about what we
did…. Then a new thought struck me, one that I hadn't even considered until just now…
Katie saw the fear in my eyes and my face turning white.
"Dinah?" she was worried, it was easy to see, "Dinah?! Escaped her a little bit louder.
"Huh? I started as I realized I hadn't said anything.
"You ok?" she asked, the worry still in her voice.
"Um, yeah, I think," I looked down at my hands and then looked back up," I have to tell you something." I was scared, it
was hard to believe but it was scary to tell my best friend. How was she going to react. Then I realized it wasn't Katie I
was afraid to tell, it was the what if thought that telling made this whole thing real. It was no longer some wonderful
dream, it would be real, and so would the thought of consequences.

* * * * * * * * *Katie looked at me in disbelief as I told her about Jeremy and I. About how he and I had simply started kissing, and how it
had turned into something more, something I or we hadn't planned on.
"You've gotta be kidding me, you mean that you and Jeremy actually…" she trailed off taking in all of what I had just told.
"Yup," I said nodding, it wasn't so bad now that I had gotten it out. I still didn't regret what I had done. I loved Jeremy.
And I knew he loved me back. He and I were one of those strange couples that everyone had predicted would get together
eventually and it was annoying how they had turned out to be right.
"And now you're feeling?" Katie started gesturing with her hands so that I would continue. So I did.
"Let me guess, now is time for the question and answer portion of our discussion?" she nodded before I continued by
saying, "I feel…. Happy, I mean it's not like it was planned or anything, we just started kissing and when things started to
get out of control I just… didn't stop them." I had almost said it just happened, but the truth was I could have stopped
them at any point, I was being completely honest when I said I hadn't stopped Jeremy, because honestly, I didn't want to.
"So is this just a one time deal or am I going to have to watch out for you two when I come over?" she giggled, but was
being completely honest.
"I don't really know, Jeremy and I have just been sort of cruising I guess. I mean since that night we've hung out, but we
haven't really gotten a chance to talk about it." I was a little sad that hadn't. But the truth was that afterwards we'd just
kind of layed there looking into each others eyes knowing that everything was perfect. He'' promised me we'' talk this
weekend when he took me to the park, that was our alone time, the one time a week that it got to be just me and him.
Every other time it was usually me, him, and a few of our friends.
I could tell I had spaced off again when I looked up to find her kind of waving her hand and giving me a funny look.
"Sorry," I mumbled still thinking about Jeremy.
"It's ok, that's a lot to talk about," she gave me an understanding look.
"Yeah," I nodded wishing that I could be with Jeremy right this second.
"So… do you love him?" Katie asked grinning. I blushed while smiling. It seemed as though I had finally found someone,
but who knows, this still seemed so unreal.
"Hey Dinah," Katie gave me a slightly worried face.
"Yeah," I looked up wondering what the problem was.
"How have you been feeling today?" I was confused, I thought we'd just went over this.
"I'm fine, I told you I'm happy."
"No, I meant physically, how do you feel physically?" she asked looking like she was thinking what I had been thinking
earlier.
"I'm fine, I mean I was a little quesy when it came to food earlier, but other then that I'm fine, I should be at school
tomorrow," I was nervous she had figured out my fear.
"Nothing else? No feeling like this is the flu or something?"
"No, nothing," I lied through my teeth, the or something was what I was afraid of, "Really Katie, I'm fine."
