The Lion Queen, Going round the concrete jungle I: Tommy

Explain yourself... -he said- And you really gotta tell me the truth.

I just started thinking, remembering all the things I did the night before, asking myself... Was this the situation I was looking for?

I'm still here, waiting! -He said. And this time, he wasn't anxious, he was pissed.

I... I don't know what to say... You told me to do what i wanted, and i did. -I said, a little afraid, i wasn't going to accept his preaching.- You know I'm impulsive, I did what you told me to do... Don't know how I got to that party, and I don't really know how I started talking with him!

He looked at me like a jealous father. The moment turned uncomfortable, I didn't know which way to run. The only thing I could do, was keep talking with him.

Look, this was a mistake, okay? You've done worst things, and I've never reproached anything to you... so, let's calm down, go round city, let's take a breath, and... well, you can do whatever you want, I'll do the same.

Are you talking serious?! -He said, and looked at me with a disbelief face.

Yes... er... no, i mean... yes. -I was totally busted. What was I going to say to him? He was extremely mature, I was just a sixteen-years-old girl, and nothing more.-

I can't believe what you're saying. Am I that bad?? Do I hurt you? I mean, I'm with you, because I really want to. -I couldn't stand looking at his face, I felt embarassed.- Look at me when I talk to you! -Okay, that was a little bit extreme, he took me by the arm and started pulling me around, as if I was a little girl that couldn't understand a word he was saying.-

OKAY, OKAY, stop that! I'm listening to you! I'm not stupid! -I felt a little pissed by the way he was talking to me.- Come on, you're a big boy, aren't you? It's time for you to stop being such a Cupid. I care about you, I really do, but I'm not in love with you. Can you understand that?

-Oops! That was totally terrible! I didn't mean to be so bad. That part of me was creepy.-

Okay... You know?... I gotta run right now, we'll talk about this other day. -And a tear fell out from his beatiful eyes.- My friends, the ones you hate, are waiting for me to have dinner... So, I'll see you later. Bye. -He kissed me on the cheek.-

And well, that was the last time I saw him. You can say I'm an idiot, a hysterical, whatever you want... But, I wasn't prepared to be with a guy, knowing that I would make him cry, or feeling bad. It was sad, really sad, but I guess it was the right thing to do. Don't you think?
