We sat on his bed, blankets draping over one another. We had been talking for hours, and I swore I could see the sun slightly beaming in through the spaces between his blackout curtains. There was a pause in our conversation, where we just looked at each other, cheekily smiling. I felt my cheeks heat up, and feeling so happy that I was sick to my stomach. But instead of acting upon it, laughter escaped from my mouth.

He raised an eyebrow. "What's so funny?" He asked, smiling brighter and making me laugh even harder.

"I don't know!" I said in between laughs. I covered my face with my hands, feeling childish. I realized what I was doing and began laughing at myself.

"Are you okay?" I couldn't answer him. He found it quite funny as well, chuckling along. It began to get harder to breathe normally, I taking short, quick breaths.

"I can't stop!" I laughed, trying to calm down. I tried blowing all of my mair out, and then taking a deep breath in, but that only made me laugh harder.

Though I was laughing, all I was thinking about was wanting to go home. I loved seeing him, and I loved him, but I wasn't happy there. I thought I would be, but it just turned out to be a beautiful mistake. Seeing Dan only made him know me more, and knowing me is nothing more than a burden.
