We headed towards the car park and drove home, neither of us said anything. When I pulled up outside Laura's flat she started to explain. "Keri, I'm sorry, I...we didn't mean to hurt anyone. When I was going out with Shane I always liked Bry, and I knew he felt the same. Then one day when we saw each other it just happened..", "so how long were u seeing him behind Shane's back?", I asked sternly. "Probably about a month, I'm so sorry though, I...", "Don't be sorry with me, it's Shane you should be telling this to", I answered indignantly. "He won't want to see me. Anyway, as I was saying it just happened between me and Bry and before I knew it got out of hand.", Laura replied. With that, she opened the car door and got out, she turned to wave goodbye and I drove off. I went home thinking about Shane, nothing but Shane. I was about to go to bed when there was a knock at the door. Tiredly I opened the door, I was already half asleep so I was taken by surprise when I realised Shane was standing in front of me with tears rolling down his eyes. "What's up Shane? Do you want to come in?", he just nodded and made his way over to the sofa where he slumped down. "Keri.. I dunno what I'm going to do... I've lost one of my best mates and my girl friend.", he looked at me with those large brown eyes, it was that look that captured my heart in the first place, I wanted to tell him I loved him. "Just talk to them, it may be hard but you never know what they have to say.", I didn't know what to say. There was part of me that wanted to tell him that Laura and Bryan were scumb, he didn't deserve either of them. Part of me wanted to turn around and say how I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life, but I was scared he didn't feel the same. We sat up most of the night talking about things, I felt so comfortable with Shane around. I was sitting happily, laughing at Shane's jokes of how he slept with a horse when he was young, when I was struck by bad news. "Yeah, ya know Kel, I need a break, tomorrow I'm going to get away from it all. I feel like going to Australia.", Shane cried excitedly. He left soon after to go and pack, I'd pick him up tomorrow and he'd get the first flight out. I didn't sleep that night...I cried. Had I lost my only chance? If he was going to be off in another part of the world he'd meet other girls, I'd missed my only chance to tell him how I felt. Now he'd never know.
