I glanced up at her angelic face then back down at my feet. I dug my hands deep into my pockets, angrily stalling for time. I didn’t know how to tell her, I couldn’t see my angel broken on the rocks before me by my own emotional treason.
I hunched my figure forward and fixed my eyes on my shoes, unable to look her in the eyes.
“Just tell me… please.” She echoed
I glanced up to see her eager eyes delving deep into my soul. Grooming me for answers.
“There was one…” I trailed off.
“Who was she?”
“She meant nothing..” I began, but I was cut short by another “Who was she?”
Her voice began to crack and her lower lip trembled.
“She was called Sarah, but, look I was drunk”
Mascara trails raced down her soft cheeks. “Don’t you care about me?”
“I love you”
“Then why?”
“I-I don’t know, it meant nothing.”
“How can I believe that?” she snivelled
“Take me back?” I not so much suggested as pleaded.
I tilted my neck down to gaze once again at my feet. Waiting for the verdict. For the executioner to deliver her final verdict. A silence of a second hung in the air for a forever.
“I don’t think I can…” she spluttered. Hiding her tear-stained cheeks with her hands.
My world stopped turning and my Hollywood ending was cut short. I died standing on my feet, resent clogged my arteries and my heart stopped pumping.
“I love you Dawn” I choked through muffled tears. “I love you”.
Now it was her turn to look down at her feet and think of words to nurse a broken heart.
“I’m sorry” she coldly muttered.
I fell to my hands and knees, shuddering pathetically. “I don’t want to lose you” I begged.
My heart in my mouth and my soul in pieces I was torn apart by the solemn ear-splitting wrath of “I think we should just be friends.”
The hot burn of sick at the back of my throat, peering up with puppy-dog eyes at my lost angel my hope was vanquished, pathetically crouching on hands-and-knees, just before Dawn.

I've been thinking of a way to use that joke for months, unfortunately I know nobody called Dawn. :(
As for the story, a little expected really. The desciptions were good, but I could have read it anywhere before, and failed to really grab me at all. Sorry. :(

That was absolutely the intention.
Really wasn't very good story-wise I dont think.
Just wanted to use Dawn differently.
Was good, short, but good.
