The Truth Hurts-Epilogue

Three months later

"Kevin, this isn't going to work." Hope said.

"Well, we can try, as hopeless as it seems." Kevin argued.

"Do you not grasp the concept that it is very hard to play Twister with only two people?" I questioned.

"Fine." He stated. "What do you wanna do?"

"I don't know." I said.

"Then why not Twister?!"

"CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO!"I screamed. Me and my split-second reactions. Kevin looked, umm, not happy?

"Hope, that's the fourteenth time today that you've screamed at me. I don't like it. It's just Twister. No Biggie." He said.

"I'm sorry." I said.

"Hope, this isn't going to work." Kevin said.

"Twister? I know. I told you it wouldn't work." I said. I didn't want to hear what next came out of his mouth.

"I know about you and Justin." Kevin said as he looked strait into my eyes. How did he find out?

"Is it true?" Kevin asked me, his eyes pleading for no.

"Yes." I said. I was true, I kinda went out with Justin. A few times. OK, I've been with Justin for about 1 1/2 months. I know. I'm bad.

"I'm sorry, but it was fun while it lasted." Kevin said.

"We both saw it coming. Are you upset?" I asked.

"Actually, no. Not that much." He said. That was a good thing. I wasn't that troubled. It's funny though. I had wished to be with him, I got him, and then I blew it. This sucks.

"Can we be friends?" I asked.

"Of course! Hell,(sorry again) we could still share our apartment. That is, if you want to." He said.

"Nah, I think it'd be best if we go our seperate ways." I said. It tore me apart to say that, but I meant it.

"I'll go." He said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~One Year Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You going on tour soon?" I asked Kevin. I had been talking to him for about a year. We both moved out of the apartment. I currently live in a small town about an hour from Los Angeles. Kevin stayed in Orlando as his "boy band" took off. I keep up with them, and I don't see how Nick got the most fans. Oh, by the way, I got JC. The dog. He's HUGE! He grew very big, in a small time. I focused my attention to Kevin's response.

"Oh yeah, Wednesday." He said. you could hear him smile.

"You looking forward to any city?" I asked.

"Umm, every town we go to is great. I've no preferences." He said.

"Oh, COME ON! There's gotta be at least ONE city you're excited about." I argued.

"Well, good things always happen to me in a certain city..." He started.

"WHAT CITY?!" I yelled. I admit it. I'm impatient.

"I gotta go." Kevin said.

"Wait! What city?!" I yelled. I'm curious.

"I gotta hang up as soon as I tell you."

"Okay, bye. Have fun on tour...NOW TELL ME!" I screamed.

"New York." Kevin said.

Then he said bye quickly and hung up. I briefly wished things were as they were before, but we live seperate lives. The truth broke us apart. You know what? The truth hurts.

DA END

Author's note= New York is where Kevin meets Vanessa!=)
