Choices

I stumbled back as she lept into my arms to give me a hug. Chuckling, I kissed her on her cheek, and squeezed her tighter to my body.
She was really asking to many questions about my new life. I couldn’t let her ask anymore. I just couldn’t. I know that it may seem cold and hard to say it would be easy to just get rid of her, but I didn’t want to. But if I was to protect her or the murderer of my best friend, well…..
I didn’t want to think about that choice. My love was too strong for both of these people. I didn’t want to make such a choice.
I kissed her once again, not wanting to let her go. I could smell the shampoo that she had used that morning. Strawberries ‘n’ cream. I held her tighter, tears forming in my eyes. I began to blink like crazy so she wouldn’t see.
“We should get going,” I whispered.
