I still have so much to learn about life. And now I have someone that I can look up to for answers. He still doesn't know so much about me and I don't know if I want to tell him. Should I? Would not telling him make me a good friend? I really wish I didn't have to worry about stuff like this, but I do. I really don't want to tell him though. It might ruin my image he has on me. We are such good friends and I don't want to lose my one and only friend! I'll just give it some time. I can just introduce it to him slowly, ya know? It'll be better for everyone.
Just like every other day I go to school, just sooo excited to see Jaylin! It's really the only thing I look forward to at this point. I may be a goody two shoes but I still dislike school! It's boring! Mean teachers, pointless homework, time consuming studying, stressful class work! I just wish it will stop! I mean like tell me! When will we ever need fractions other then for cutting pizza? It's pointless. Whatever! I'm done venting!
Jaylin: Kylee!
Kylee: Hey, J!
Yup! I call him J! Deal with it!
Jaylin: You know? You know a lot about me. All we do is talk about me. What about your life? When did you become- (sigh) never mind... I get if you don't want to talk about it. Take your time-
Kylee: No. I want to talk. You always make things better. You've been helping me sense day one! I think I can start talking...
Jaylin: No really! I don't want to force you!
Kylee: Stop. I want to!
Jaylin: (Hesitantly) I-I'm all ears...
Kylee: When I was two years old... My- my mother was killed. Murdered. By a man... He, after that, took me...
Jaylin: Kylee... (Eyes watering)
Kylee: No! Jaylin don't cry! Please I'm trying to be strong! If I see you cry then I'll cry!
Jaylin: I'm sorry! I just- I just can't believe how a person can just kill someone right from of a little baby!
Kylee: (Sniffs)
Jaylin: You can stop.
Kylee: (Voice breaking) Ok.
He puts his arm around me and holds me close. I lay my head on his shoulder staining to hold back my tears. I felt so safe... I felt like I was put under a nice, soft bird wing. I never wanted it to end...
Love. It's so useless. That's what I thought at first, but once you feel it, your whole world changes. He makes me feel safe... I really don't know what love feels like, but- I think that was it. You feel all tingly inside and you get butterflies in your stomach. Love is an indescribable feeling. I am so confused. I wonder if he feels the same... I don't know how to contain my feelings. Do I tell him? Won't it mess everything up?
