I left school early that day to go to my house and make sure
everything was tip-top shape. Everything had to be perfect about this night.
Mom was gone to work the night shift, Matt was at a friends and Kirstie was
with her boyfriend. I could feel the nervousness starting to prick away at my
stomach. Don’t be nervous, he’s not going
to judge you.
Everything was perfect. Exactly the way that I wanted it to
be. He was happy, so was I. I got out of bed and walked to the fridge. I got
myself a glass of water and went back to my bedroom. He was laying there
sleeping looking so cute. He rolled over and smiled a sheepish smile at me. “Hey
beautiful.”
“Hey” I said quietly.
I felt a tinge of nervousness flood through my body. I had just remembered
something so important. I had forgotten to take my pill that week.
Nooo, here I don't think you can end it like that. A reader doesn't need absolute resolution of issues raised in a piece, but those tease-y endings don't work IMO.
