Jade can feel her heart pounding. He's so close to her face she can feel his breath.
He leans in and kisses her mouth gently. Jade kisses him back.
Noah smiles at Jade. She smiles back.
"You've must have done that a million times. You're really good at it."
"Well maybe. But none of them meant anything. This one definitely means something."
"Really?"
"Yeah. It was nice. It was with someone I like."
"What about all those other girls you used to bring home?"
"I'm a sad kid Jade. After my brother died, I needed some way to make the hurting stop. Plus it pissed my father off."
"Oh well I guess I understand."
"That's what I like about you Jade. You aren't trying to fix me."
"You don't need fixing. You're been through stuff, you're a little misguided. Not broken."
"Oh Jade, I really think I love you."
Jade can't believe what she's just heard. Could she have misheard?
Noah, the attractive, mysterious, bad boy that all the girls hearts melt for and who brings home a different girl every week just told Jade he loved her.
"What's wrong? You don't look happy..."
"No! I am very happy. Noah, I can't say it back though. Not yet. I want to, but I need to make sure I absolutely love you. The last person I said 'I love you' to was my mother the morning she left for work. And well, you know that she never came home."
"I understand. You're the first person I said it to since my brother died, I get it. It takes time."
"You're as close to perfect as it gets Noah, you know that?"
Noah smiles.
They listen in silence to the songs playing in the bus radio. Then the song stops and plays the news for the next half-hour.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The two kids are still missing, Noah Johnson and Jade Sinclair. Please contact the police if you have seen them." Explains the man on the radio.
The man on the radio then gives descriptions of what Jade and Noah look like, Noah and Jade look at each other. A woman turns around and looks at the two kids.
"You two look like what the description just said." Says the woman.
