Chapter 6. (The book.)
Jason.
Xavier had not eaten yet and had disappeared after being there for a very short time. I let the water mold to what I felt and to my horror the water formed a large pounding heart with an X in the middle. Just then Xavier came back and he saw the heart, I quickly dropped the heart and turned around. I started throwing stones into the water and I heard Xavier coming closer.
Xavier.
I looked with wide eyes at where the pounding heart could be seen a few seconds ago. "What-" I mumbled and stood rooted to the spot. "Jason, what is this?-" I couldn't move but forced myself to take a step towards him. "What was that heart?" I stood a few feet away and waited for an answer. Jason turned to me but said nothing. It was on the tip of his tongue, I could see it, but he couldn't get it out.
Jason.
"Sorry, I can't help it, my thoughts went their own way and I couldn't help it..." I looked at him, petrified. and begged: "Xavier, please say something..." he looks at me in shock and it bothers me. "Xavier, please, if you don't talk now, things could get very awkward between us..." I look at him pleadingly.
Xavier.
I just stayed quiet and shook my head as I took a step back. 'What? Jason, we've only known each other for a few weeks.' I shook my head again, I couldn't believe it. I wouldn't believe it. So much has happened and then this?
Jason.
"I don't know what I feel either, and I try to stop it, but I can't help it, I really enjoy being with you and I still have to figure out how I love you." It was out, I told him I loved him. I didn't dare look at him, but I did ask: 'And you, Xavier? What do you feel, don't deny it, you feel something too.'
Xavier.
I shook my head again. "Jason– I like you, yes, but things might be moving a little too fast." I tried not to look at him because I knew he was breaking. 'It's a bit too early. I'm sorry.' I mumbled, still not looking at him. I was playing with my hair as a distraction and took another step back. I tripped over a branch and fell on my butt.
Jason.
I look at him, he likes me, but then again he doesn't? I don't understand it so I let it go. I see him stumble and turn around. I gather my things and when I feel a hand on my shoulder I turn around.
Xavier.
I got up and walked towards him. I put a hand on his shoulder and he turned around. I stood next to him and rested my head on his shoulder. He had a blush on his face and I laughed. "Just give it some time, Gup." I smiled at him and looked at the water in front of us. it will be fine
Jason.
'Sorry, but I can't do that, I can't be with you and not feel what I feel for you, I can't give you the space and time when I'm with you, I'll have to go and then we'll never meet again to see. I'll take the girl and take her back to her mother.' I see his face contorted with pain and I get up, pack the last of my things, give him a quick kiss on the cheek and run off with Desi. I don't look back and shake Desi's hand.
