it was an ordinary night and Kelly was just sitting on her steps, staring at the sky. Kelly spent every night sitting on those steps thinking about the day that was slowly coming to and end. she's one of those girls that have her phone attached to her at all times, so naturally she had her phone sitting right next to her while she relaxed on those steps. soon enough she recieved a text from Mike, but it wasn't the normal "hey beautiful, whats up" it simply said hi, she knew something was wrong. kelly and mike were on the verge of being boyfriend and girlfriend, they had been talking and getting really serious for the past 3 months and they were both falling for eachother. but recently mike had been acting quite distant to kelly even though only a week ago he had told her how much he is falling for her and he can picture them being together really soon. she basically realized something was up when he didnt text her at all that day but he had been texting their friends all day.
as her phone vibrated next to her, her heart dropped and she hesitated to read the text from him. after a few seconds of contemplation she picked up her phone and began to read what he had written. he wrote, "umm kel i realli need to tlk 2 u can i call u??". kelly answered yes and had no idea what to think. millions of ideas were running through her head and she was lost in the night sky. her thinking was abruptly stopped when her phone began to ring and she knew it wasnt a friend calling because he has a specific ringtone..."i wanna dance with somebody"...it was their first song together and it meant alot to both of them. her heart began to race as she reached for her phone and answered. the instant she picked up he raced to say "kelly you know exactly how i feel about you...it's just i can't umm like i don't know i ummm kelly i don't know if i can do ahh i really just wanna be friends right now. i'm leaving for college in 6 months and i don't want a girlfriend right now i just don't see it working between us right now. well i really just don't see it working between us i'm sorry kelly i really am this is killing me doing this to you i dont want to hurt you at all i just can't do this anymore...i just don't wanna string you along because i like you and then leave for college and not be there for you it's not fair to you and i can't put myself in a position to hurt you. i want you to be happy." there was a silence and then she calmly told him she understood but truthfully she didn't. a single tear rolled down her face followed by a stream of tears as she continued to talk and silently cry.
the boy she thought was perfect for her, that she fell for, that she gave her all to, that she put her heart on the line for, took her heart and broke it. it came to the point where she couldnt stand to hear his voice anymore because she was crying harder than before and she was quickly loosing control over keeping her voice calm. her mom always told her to never let someone that hurt you see you cry or hear that you are hurt. be strong and fight through it until you cant take it anymore and you have to break down. kelly told him she had to go but as she said it her voice cracked and he realized she had been crying through the entire time they were talking. at that moment "The Last Song Ever" came on the radio and she completely lost control. mike was trying to tell her to talk to him and thats he's sorry he didn't mean for this to happen but she hung up she couldnt bear to listen to his voice. she never thought he could hurt her this bad but he did and the pain didnt disappear it just got worse and broke her down to nothing. the next few weeks mike tried his hardest to get her to talk to him but she refused to talk to him she couldnt put herself through it because he meant so much to her but he proved that she meant so little to him.
the next few weeks were a challenge to get through...not only did she have the SAT's she had parties where he would be at but she couldnt miss her best friends birthday parties. even though they went to completely different schools the subject of mike and kelly always came up and never got any easier to listen to. kelly and mike went to brother sister schools because kelly went to an all girls school and mike went to the all boys school, and of course they both shared friends from those schools. april rolled around and two months had passed since kelly stopped talking to mike, even though he made many attempts to talk to her in person and through texts. one chilly april night at tori's birthday party, mike pulled kelly into a room and locked the door telling her they cant get out till they talk. after a while of silence and kelly crying, she finally told him how much he had hurt her and everything she felt. she forgave him but he knew he would have to earn her friendship back because of everything that happened.
through it all she grew stronger and realized people will hurt you and life is going to knock you down and beat you up but you have to realize that your more than just a person you're a survivor. through the pain she learned who her real friends really are and who truly cares about her.
