You Can't Handle the Truth: A One-Shot Video

How am I going to tell him? What do I even say? I'm so nervous about the date tonight. Christian has always been so sweet to me. These past three years have been wonderful with him but I've been keeping secrets. And I cannot keep them secrets any longer. I simply cannot.

Christian has set up a special date for us tonight. He says I deserved it. Why is he so perfect and wonderful? I was supposed to dress really nicely for tonight so I slipped on a long black dress and high heels. I know what I have to do tonight. I have to tell him the truth.

I waited outside my door for Christian to come. I'm so scared. What am I going to do tonight? How am I going to tell him what I've been trying to say for so long? I waited impatiently. I wish I could cancel or tell him I'm sick or something to get out of this date. But I can't disappoint him.

I know Christian enough to know that his heart would break if I said no to our date. And I really don't want to break his heart. Wow, that's a bit ironic, isn't it? I wish things were easier. I wish for so many things that won't come true. I really don't know what to do now. I am so confused.

I saw Christian's car come around the corner and drive up to my door. He parked by the sidewalk and I walked towards him. He quickly got out of the car and rushed towards me. "Kimberly!" He reached me and pulled me into his arms. I put my cheek against his chest and sighed.

He slightly pulled away and looked down at me. I looked into his eyes. They were a soft green, sparkling with love and happiness at the sight of me. It's just what any girl would want. "You look really beautiful tonight, Kim. Then again, you're always beautiful."
"Thank you, Christian. That's very sweet of you to say. You look really nice too."
He really did. He was wearing a very nice suit. I could see a vest on him too and his bow-tie was so cute. "Thanks. It is a special night after all."
"Why is that?"
"You'll see, sweetheart." He kissed my forehead. "Now, I've been waiting for a kiss since I first saw you a minute ago."

Christian leaned down and pushed his lips onto mine. He was so sweet yet so passionate. I could feel his urgency. There was something definitely different with him. He was so... excited. He pulled away from the kiss and softly rubbed my cheek. "I love you so very much."

I returned his words of love and he led me to the car. He opened the door for me like a gentleman and I stepped inside. He softly kissed my hand and closed the door. He quickly got in and drove off to our destination. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it. He was really happy. I could just tell.

"So I made a reservation at that fancy French restaurant in the city. It took me a while but I finally was able to get in. Besides, you deserve the best and nothing less." He pulled my hand up and kissed it while keeping his eyes on the road. "I love you, Kim. I really, really do."

He kept chatting it up on our way to the restaurant. I wasn't in the mood to talk and it fit the situation: Christian couldn't stop talking to me about how he was thinking of me and that he loved me and all these sweet, romantic things. He was only making it worse though, even if he didn't know that.

But him being so innocent and naïve only made it worse still. I love Christian but not as much as he would hope. He's a great guy, really. He's just not the kind of guy I want to be with for much longer. And it's about time that he knew that. I hate leading him on like I am tonight.

We had dinner and everything and he kept smiling and staring at me. He took me outside to look at the stars. "Kimberly, you know I've been in love with you for a long time. You know that, right?" I nodded to him. "Well, you love me too, correct?" I nodded again. Maybe that wasn't the right choice.

He grabbed my hands but took one away so he could look into his suit jacket for something. "Where did I put it?" He was whispering to himself. Oh no. I know what this is. I never should have come. I knew I should have canceled. Tears sprung to my eyes. Christian, please don't.

"Ah, there it is." He took out a little satin box and I closed my eyes momentarily. No. Why is this happening? He looked up at me nervously and started to breathe in an odd fashion. He smiled to ease his nerves and bent down onto his knee. No! I want him to stop all of this. But I know he won't.

"Kimberly, I really love you and I finally know what I want: I want you with me for the rest of my life. So... will you marry me?" He looked up at me in expectation, faith and hope swirling in the pools of green in his eyes.
"Christian... I can't."
He frowned and stood up quickly. "What?"
"Christian, you are so wonderful and I do love you but... I have to say no."
He was close to tears. "But... why? Please tell me the truth."
"You can't handle the truth," I whispered. And the truth was that I was cheating on him and had been for a long time. "You simply can't." And we both found out that night that I was right.

Shay081793: It was really good :) I don't know why exactly, but the entire time I was reading, I was picturing the girl to be Demi Lovato. Even with her name being Kimberly, Demi was the one who was in the story for me... And I was very curious as to what her secret was, and when I found out I was... Thrown a curveball. I didn't expect that in the least, but that made it just that much better :) love you

GotUDazed: Oh. Crap. Damn, okay hold on let me just start of by saying loved it and the writing was exceptional. Okay... damn Kimberly did him dirrrrrrrty. I feel bad for poor Christian he wanted to marry her and she was cheating on him. That is kind of mean. But she did right in not accepting his proposal it wouldn't be fair to none of them. Really good story idea. Really loved it, great job. =)

iffy66: great job

skatingjbfan08: so good! :D i had a feeling that he was going to propose at the beginning

Jonas4EverInMyHeart: Poor Christian!! Stupid Kimberly, she ruined his love life and she ruined their friendship. I can't believe she cheated on him and he loved her!! Why didn't she come and and say it from the beginning!! Luved it!! Can't wait til you make another one!! : )

musicismylife500: I knew she was cheating on him. I figured it out about half way through the story. I feel bad for Christian but ya know what? He can do better. He'll find someone who won't cheat on him and will love him forever. Very nice job. I liked the idea. Keep up the awesome work. :)

cutierose1234: Aw! Poor Christian! :( If I could, and he existed, I'd have him! I'm serious, that's the kind of man any girl would want so I don't understand how she could cheat on him. Crazy woman. Grr. Seriously loved this one-shot though, you're amazing at writing these. :D Looking forward to more young lady! Love you! <333

bratierocker71: loved it!

ThemSmexiJonasBoys: wow pleasee post ... wow

gioiaxpianogirlx: Poor poor poor poor Christian. That is so not fair. How could she do that to him? How can she break the heart of a person that loves her so much? I mean, if she doesn't love him back, fine, say it. At least that would've been fair. It would've hurt too, but being lied to for so long must've hurt so much more. Kim really made some wrong decisions.
