The Impulse

Cami - What happened to us?

Dan - What do you mean?

Cami - I mean a week ago there wasn’t enough time in the world to talk about everything that we wanted to. Now you can hardly find a civil word to say to me.

Dan - You haven’t been a chatter-box lately either. I guess things just change.

Cami - Well what changed? Was it me? Did I do something?

Dan – I don’t know. Does it matter?

Cami – Heck yes it matters! ...To me at least.

Dan – Whatever just let it go.

Cami – I can’t just let it go. You are my best friend you matter to much to me to just “Let it go” Tell me what's going on!

Dan – I talked to Mandy, OK? I know.

Cami – Oh. I see.

Dan – Why didn’t you tell me?

Cami – I was scared okay?

Dan – You somehow mustered up the bravery to tell Mandy and Lou.

Cami – It was different with you.

Dan – Why? Don’t you think that I wanted to say goodbye?

Cami – Of course I knew you would.

Dan – You realize you still haven’t told me why you were scared...

Cami – I couldn’t tell you because you were the only one who could keep me from going.

Dan – I don’t understand. What do you mean?

Cami – You are the only person who could possibly convince me to stay.

Dan – How is that?

Cami – You mean a lot to me and you can be really persuasive…

Dan – I couldn’t persuade my mom to give me lunch money. You know that, as well as I do.

Cami – Dan, I care about you. You are the closest thing to family that I have. I didn’t want to tell you because I knew if you wanted me to stay I wouldn’t have been able to tell you no.
