"I'm Peter" I say trying to fake a smile.

"So what's your deal? I mean like why are you upset?" He say, I could tell he generally cared.

"Well..." I start off nervously, "turns out the guy I thought liked me is gay. Then theres another guy who only liked me cause I moved on and now that I'm 'single' he doesnt want me. Am I really that undesirable? "I start to tear up again but I hold it back.

There's a silence..

"I know that I just met you, but I feel like I've got to be the one to tell you that you are beautiful. You are gorgeous. You're amazing and  the problem is that you dont realise it. You also dont realise that you don't need a guy to be happy all you need is a good pizza, some ice cream, oreos  and thats it." He says then looks away. That statement really got me thinking. I don't need a guy to be happy. I just need a good salad.

"You wana go for a walk." I ask anxiously.

"Yes" he answers almost immediately, like he didn't even think about it.
