I pulled his face to mine, but before I could kiss him he pulled away. The apology was written on his face.

~~~

She pulled my face closer, but I pulled away. Tears were forming in her eyes, she didn't understand.

~~~

"I'm sorry," He said. Tears were brimming my eyes, one single tear escaped.

I took everything in me to say this, "It doesn't matter." But it really did matter, I was confused and sad. It didn't matter what he said to make it better, he couldn't take back his actions.

"I'm sorry," he said again as he walked away.

"Luke! Wait!" I ran up to him, if I was going to lose him I was going to lose him fighting. Before he could react I kissed him, it surprised me that he let it happen, but what really surprised me was that he kissed me back.

~~~

All the sudden she was kissing me, it surprised me that I let it happen, but it surprised me even more was that I kissed her back. I think she was surprised too.

I knew people were watching, it was my football teammates and the cheerleaders. The football game had just ended when Chiara had come over to me. She was wearing her cheerleading outfit, blue and black, the team's colors.

Earlier that day I had been ignoring her all day, putting off that conversation as long as I could. That was obviously not the right thing to do, she didn't expect any of it.

~~~

"Chiara..." He trailed off.

"Don't. Don't apologize or hug me. I just wanted one last kiss before I would no longer be able to call you mine," I was crying now.

"Well that was not a good breakup kiss, both of us were shocked."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that if we're going to have a breakup kiss, it might as well be good."

"I'm confused."

"Just kiss me back."

So that's what I did, I kissed him back, through my tears and all. I never wanted that kiss to end, because when it did we would be over. I would never be able to call him mine again. It did end, though.

"So I guess this is it," I said wiping my tears away.

"Goodbye Chiara," Luke said trying to smile.

"Goodbye Luke."

That night changed my life, I thought that Luke loved me, I thought that I had finally found my other half, but life isn't perfect like that. We were best friends but now we're complete strangers. That's how breakups were.

I was supposed to go to Homecoming that night. My friends from the cheer squad tried to get me to come, but I told them I really didn't want to. My friends understood me that way, they were like sisters to me. I wanted to tell my brother what had happened, but he was too busy partying at homecoming with his picture perfect girlfriend.

When I had walked to my car that night a bunch of the football players were trying to cheer me up. I think that they all felt bad for me because they thought Luke really did love me. We were all wrong.

"I thought he loved you," One said.

"Me too," I said.
