Kids with a Peculiar Disease

We ran and escaped before they could finish throwing us the rest of the liquid. It smelled like eggs. We ran to the bathroom. It was the girls bathroom.

"You shouldn't be here" I told Jaxon. I started washing my face "This is the girls-" I couldn't finish my sentence because he kissed me hard. He was derisiring a kiss for a long time I could tell. I was desiring one too. I wrapped my arms around him. His mouth moved around mine.

Then he kissed my cheks, my forhead, my whole face. "I need you so much" he said "I need you in my life" I separated our lips and looked at him. What was he saying? He didn't mean it. He kissed me again, leaving me without breath. He grabbed my wrist and pushed me inside a bathroom stall but I stopped him.

"No!" I said. "Please don't do this to yourself"

"What do you mean?" he asked confused. "Why can't I do this? Kiss you?"

"You don't know what you are doing to yourself. Please stop. I beg you"

"I don't understand" he said.

"Look I am a bullied one. Also someone who will never love or be loved. And you need to st-"

"Phoenix, I love you" this words made me freeze. What? This couldn't be. Somone actually loved me? I didn't know what to say. And I didn't need to say anything.

He came forward to me and grabbed my face and kissed me again, this time softer. I separated our lips and place my forhead in his.

"If you are with me," I said "you'll have the worst life ever"

"I don't care" he said and tried to kiss me again but I pushed away.

"Well I do" I said and left the bathroom with tears on my eyes and egg salad on my hair and clothes.
