Andrew

Something was wrong. When I slid my hand into hers, she fell to the floor convulsing like I'd electrocuted her. That wasn't the only thing that was wrong though. I heard the sound of claps, a crowd of workers gathering around us two, cheering us on. They were chanting the words kiss over and over, and for some odd reason, I wanted to. I wanted to forget what I was. I wanted to love her, but deep down my heart knew it wasn't going to happen. After Miles, I'd never loved anyone the same. He left me, said that he didn't want the Countdown, and a couple of days later he disappeared. I spent days brooding over him, and I was tired. Maybe she wasn't exactly "my type", but as long as she didn't ask too many questions about my past, we could get through this. I could get through this. My dad left us as well, because I told him that I preferred my own gender more than the opposite.

He left because he didn't want to be the father of a bi-sexual teenager. Everyone left me sooner or later, but I had a feeling that maybe, just maybe she wouldn't.

"Are you okay Lizy?" I asked, helping her up to her feet.

She simply nodded, and gazed into my eyes. She was so beautiful, and I had the privilege to be her soul mate. I wasn't going to ruin that. I'll just have to keep it a secret, until the ministry finds out about me, and I "run" out of battery.

"So, are you ready for this Andy?" she looked me in the eyes, as she leaned in closer and closer. When her lips brushed mine, I didn't feel anything. Maybe I was in shock, or maybe it's who I am. I wasn't going to let her find out the truth though. I pulled back from her lips, and gripped her hand in mine.

We walked out of the diner, and into our new lives. The pale, grey sun beamed down on our faces, and she was still pale, but it didn't matter anymore. My life hadn't changed much, but it was easy to tell that hers did. It was worth it though. I could tell she was happy and I would be eventually, colours or not. Was I in love with her? No definitely not, but I hope I can learn to love her over the years.
