Just a clarification: Jonah and Emily did not kiss they were only about to.
On with the story>>
Jonah stares at me, probably realizing what he'd just done - or almost done.
Jeffrey's expression isn't shaken and he looks as happy as he's been all day.
Did he not see any of that?
Jeffrey walks up to us in a fast pace, "Hey guys!"
Jeffrey grabs my hand, "Can I talk to you for a sec?"
"Uh, sure." I shoot a look over to Jonah, he looks as worried as I am.
Jeffrey and I walk a small distance away from Jonah.
Jeffrey grabs my hands and holds them in his, swaying them back and forth, "So.. did you like it?"
I squint my eyes in disbelief, "What?" Then I quickly smile after to hide my confusion, "Oh sorry, I blanked. Um, yeah, I thought you were great. You're amazing Jeffrey; I'm happy I finally got to see you perform." I hug him awkwardly.
Jeffrey pulls out of the hug slowely, "I'm happy I get to be here in California with you."
I know that I didn't kiss Jonah.
I don't even want to.
- why do I feel so shitty?
I smile painfully at Jeffrey.
"You okay, Em?"
"I'm fine." I put my hand up to my forehead and close my eyes.
Jeffrey pulls my hand away and holds it in his, "Are you sure Em? You don't look so great."
"Thanks?" I question in a joking manner.
I close my eyes again, trying to focus on standing straight but I can't. I open them again but just the slightest as Jeffrey blurs right in front of me.
"Em?" I hear a voice going in and out.
I pull both my hands back up to my head, closing my eyes once again.
"Em?" The voice gets louder.
I feel light headed and my breaths are uneven.
"Emily?"
I can't quite focus on anything.
"Emily!"
I feel the world spinning underneath me.
"Emily!"
Dizziness takes over my body.
For a moment everything becomes silent.
Nothing.
Suddenly my knees buckle and I start to fall.
The voice comes back for a second. "Emily." The voice whimpers.
- but it's a different voice.
