Will You Keep My Secret?

Everyone has secrets, but my is a very special one that I had kept to my self till my best friend Erica found out when I was 18. My name is Nicole. Me and Erica had been the bestest of friends since freshman year. And since then we tell each other everything, go to the mall together, eat together, and sometimes even sleeps together. But never have I let her find out about my little secret. I always thought that one day, no matter how hard I try to hide it from her, she’s going to find out. It finally happened one night in the summer right after we graduated from high school.
Erica and I had went to the mall that day, we were laughing and joking all day like we always has been when we go out. I was so tired when I got home that night, that all I did was took a shower and when to bed. It was about 9:30 that night when Erica called me.
“Heeello?” I yawned as I picked up my cell phone.
“I need to talk.” Erica’s voice said on the other end.
Knowing Erica for so long I instantly know that something was wrong, and that she has been crying.
“Are you ok?” I asked.
“Can I come over?” she asked with a stuffy nose.
“Yea of course.” It was late but I would do anything for Erica.
“Ok.” she hangs up the phone.
I got up and went to the bathroom, the whole time thinking what could happened to my best friend.
Erica lived just a little down the street from where I lived, so after 10 minus my phone ranged again.
“Erica?” I answered gingerly.
“I’m downstairs.” that was all she said before she hang up the phone.
I quickly went downstairs and open the door to see my red nosed friends standing outside the door. Her eyes was sparkling with tears in the moonlight. More than once I have thought about how pretty Erica is, but that night there’s something about her being so sad and the moonlight shining on her made her look so beautiful.
