       I asked Anthony if he wanted to hang out again and he accepted. Maybe this is a sign that he feels the same. He obviously likes spending time with me. 
"Is this a hookup?" Anthony says shyly
"No! .:Unless you want it to be." I cringe at my own reaction.
"Okay."
"Did you think I only hang out with you to hookup?"
"I dont know."
"So.. yes?"
"I did think that for a second but I believe you."
:(
"Anthony, I'm so sorry that I ever made you feel that way."
"Its not your fault"
"But it is, I need to be a better friend. You are more than a hookup Ant."
"o-oh"
"not like that!!"
"oh"
IM GONNA STAB MYSELF WHY DID I SAY THAT WHY WHY WHY WHY
OH MY GOD WHY DID I SAY THAT
"Its okay if you meant it like that." Anthony peeps
"Okay.." I say shakily.
"I know how you feel." Anthony says with a smile.
"what??"
"I didn't know at first but I'm sure now"
"How do I feel?" I ask him
"You are falling in love with me."

Maybe that was too much. Maybe I crossed a line. Maybe I assumed wrong.
"Yeah, I guess I am." he stammers. Everything is gonna change. Its too soon. God why I am I like this.
"Say something." Lin breathes. What do I even say?
I start running.
I run as fast as I can.
Away from this. Too soon too soon.
Its too soon.
