Just Friends

Mixed Emotions

Since I gave Logan a second chance, he has been texting me little hints about what's going to happen this Saturday. I apparently agreed to this date without even realizing I did. Corbin finally showed back up to school after 3 days. He won't answer my calls or messages. At lunch I'll confront him. This isn't like him.
  I walk up and block Corbin from getting in to his locker. I decided to confront him now then later. Oops. He stares at me then sighs,
  "Move." I cross my arms holding my ground.
  "Why haven't you answered me back? I've been worried about you." He doesn't speak just looks into my eyes. Feels like he is burning holes through me.
  "What is wrong? Did I do something?" He shakes his head,
  "No I did, I was stupid for saying what I did the other night." He tries to walk away but I grab his arm. I give him a pleading look. He runs his fingers through his hair and closes his eyes. He grabs my hand, shooting tingles through my body, and leads me down the hall. He stays quiet. We are walking down different hallways until we reach the courtyard. He sits down and pats the seat beside him. I sit down, starring at him. I just can't figure him out. This isn't normal because we use to be able to read each other like a book. Silence absorbs us, I look over and he has his eyes closed.
  "Corbin, what is wrong? Talk to me." I ask
  "I've been thinking about this for a long time, A." He pauses and takes a deep breath. "After graduation, I'm going in to the military." He looks me in the eyes and I don't know what to say. That's huge news, my best friend is going to the military. All I can do is wrap my arms around him and hold him tight. He pulls me tighter and breaths something in to my shoulder that I can't really make out. Instead of going to next hour, we decided skipping school the rest of the day.

We decided on just going back to his house and renting some movies. I put in the movie while he makes some popcorn. I grab a blanket and dibs the couch. Corbin walks in and makes me scoot over. I rest my head on his shoulder.
I most of dozed off because I wake up with my head on Corbin's chest and we are laying down. I check my phone and it's 6:30. I look up, Corbin is peacefully asleep. I study his features. His full lips, tan skin, the small scar above his eye from when we were kids and he fell off the slide. He really is attractive. He slowly starts moving around. I close my eyes so he doesn't catch me starring. He lets out a deep breath and pulls me closer. What happens next, was not what I was expecting. Corbin leans over and kisses my forehead. I hold my breath as I feel his touch.
"Oh Addie, if only. " He whispers.
