SAY WHAT NOW?
Derek’s Perspective
I drive up to my house and open up the front door quietly just in case Jess was taking a nap. She was not, I repeat, not taking a nap.
I walk in to find my girlfriend, the one that detto she knew the best for me and would never cheat on me, was sitting there successivo to Landon. My best friend! She kept on trying to get closer to him, but good ol’ Landon kept pushing her away. “Come on!!” she was whining, “You know te wanna snuggle!”
“No. I absolutely don’t want to ‘snuggle’,” he replied, I could see horror on his face as he kept backing away until he fell onto the floor.
“HA! I’ve got te now!” She yelled out, smug with victory. Just at that moment I decided to make myself visible.
“HEY!” I yell out before she could do anything that would scare my best friend away from me forever.
“Dude… It’s NOT what it looks like-” Landon starts.
“I know. I’ve been standing here for a few minuti now,” I reply, looking Jesse right in the eye, which quickly flitted away to avoid eye contact. “Jess,” I say slowly, still in shock, “explanations?”
“Wellll…” she started, “He detto that he wanted to get to together and not tell you!”
“No way! Dude, believe me, te know I wouldn’t do that,” Landon retorts.
“Likely story, Jesse…” I say sarcastically, “Listen, now that I know that you’re so likely to just run off from me, we’re…. done. Over with. So get the heck out of my house.”
“But I Amore you! We were supposed to be together forever!!”
“That’s what I thought at first, too. Not so much now. Get OUT of my house. NOW.”
“Fine, just let me do one thing before I leave…” she said, with a mischievous look in her eyes. She leaned down and whispered something in Landon’s ear… Something that I couldn’t hear.
Landon looked positively terrified as she backed away slowly, with a small smile on her face until she was out the door.
“What did she say?” I ask Landon.
“Text me…”

We are going separate ways.
We must leave each other,
Though I regret it,
There is nothing either of us
Can do.
We are going separate ways.
The bright light shines in our futures,
For the separate ways we go
Are the best for each of us.
We must leave for the good of it,
Though I don't want to,
And I know te don't either.
But it is important that we do.
It is never easy
Doing what we do the worst,
Leaving each other,
And the thoughts that we are...
Best friends...leaving each other...
We must go our separate ways.
For our own good.
And we pray that one day...
We will meet each other again.
And we will.
