There wasn't guilt when I called
and told Reid to find a new partner
for the w i n t e r f o r m a l.
But there were the words
'why not him?'
echoing on, and on, and on.
But each time the words echoed,
everything drowned in a pearl aqua ocean,
soaking me and leaving me trembling.
I had spent the big night
cuddling with Raven
as the green dress gazed at us,
from the back of the wardrobe,
with only an occasional tap on the window,
the only sound in the silent night.
My heart did flutter but knowing that
there was no one to throw
pebbles at my window,
I had clung stronger to my sister.
It was only later that I came to know
that Elena and Nate Parker were the
talk of the night.
Elena and Nate Parker.
Not Elena and you.
It was too much to hope for.
But Ethan, it did make me wonder
who was the one standing outside my window
that night.
