"you are cold hearted conrad. you break people's heart"
without a word i left her room.

it twisted my guts to hear her say that. even more cause i know it's true.
i hate the effect she has on me this summer. and the summer before. and the summer before last summer.
it's so weird. it just won't go away.
i feel bad because i kissed her at the pool.
maybe i break people's hearts, but i don't cheat on them.
i am much but not a cheater.

that's why i want breake up with nicole, i just don't know how, not yet. i'm gonna give that a thought another time. not that it ment much to me anyway.

i lay in my bed and stare at the ceiling.
"why didn't you tell us?"
i looked up and saw lane with tears in her eyes in my door frame.
"what are you talking about?"
i closed the door behind her and sat her slowly on my bed.
"it's back. her cancer is back"
how could she know?
"you left the letter folded in the bag, and it all makes sense now. this is going to be the summer. because it's the last one. the portraits, the debutant ball. because she'll never see belly or me getting married" she just cried, so i pulled her into my arms and stroke her head.
"it's going to be fine. it will all work out"
i wish i could believe myself right now.
