CHRISTOPHER STURNIOLO was out of his fucking mind.

he was so in love with her that the boy couldn't even think right.

sprinting out the house he couldn't take it anymore, the home smelt too much of her!

running to the cafe next to the house he sighs in relief as fresh air enters his nostrils.

entertaining the small retro cafe the bell over the door rings as he opens and the sound of old music hits his ears.

looking around it was a bunch of, teens, family's, old people and more.

"perfect." chris smiles going to sit at the bar huffing.

"hi sir how can i help you today?" the waitress comes up behind the island table.

"uh hi can i get a..." he looks to the menu above her.

"a chocolate milkshake please?" chris asks politely.

the woman nods walking off.

christopher looks around, a couple sat there.

the boy had his arm around the girl, while she smiled up to him twirling the straw in her milkshake.

chris let's out a groan falling his head into his arms.

"what's wrong son?" an old man sitting next to him buds out.

chris looks up softly.

"excuse me?" the brunette asks confusion laced his voice.

"why are you upset?" the man questioned.

"oh nothing sir." chris smiles softly.

"oh come on kid, i know that look all too well." he cracks a grin.

"let me guess, is it a girl?" the man corked his brow.

christopher looks up at the person.

"what?" he asks shocked.

"i've seen that look, i've had that look. is it a girl?" he laughs softly.

"uh..." the teen mumbles under his breath.

"you can tell me, it's not like we haven't all been there." he stated gently.

"what's your name?" he asks smiling.

"chris."

the man smiles wider.

"chris funny, my names topher short for christopher." topher leans in laughing.

"really?" chris grins.

"yes. now chris, tell me about this girl." he scooted closer.

"it's really nothing." he quipped politely.

"it's not nothing if she's got you huffing and puffing," the man was from boston chris could tell and that made him feel safer.

"just how bout you tell me how she looks?" topher insisted.

chris thinks for a while, he's might never see this man ever again, and he needs to tell someone who doesn't live with him.

worth a shot huh?

"well there's this girl..." he starts.

"yeah i gathered that." topher smiles.

"she's got these blue eyes, that just..." he trails off.

"and this hair like..." chris trails off once more.

"and her smile," he looks to the man with big eyes explaining.
