We were alone in the car again. The feeling surrounding us was more intense than I had ever felt. He put his hand on my shoulder. "Are you sure your ok?" He looked at me for a second, then at the wheel again. "Ye-yes." I say. " I just, I don't get it. Why would Randy, ugh.." I sigh. Will has a stressed attitude too, I see it in his eyes he's hurt. I take his hand off my shoulder and hold it in my hand. He smiles. "Thank you Will. Really." I kiss him on his cheek. His eyes immediately transfer from the road to me. He just stared at me. I look down, embarrassed. "Sorry.." I say, We come to a stop light. He takes his hand, and holds my chin, really carefully. He lifts my chin up, and I'm not looking down anymore, I'm looking at him. Him. "Don't be." He says softly. I feel my heart racing faster after every beat. He pulls my face slowly closer to his, and I find myself leaning into his face too. BEEEEEP!!!! The car behind us honked its horn loudly. The light was green. Will pulls his hand from my face, and drives forward. "Sorry!" He says. He glances at me. "I'll take you home now." We arrive at my house. I felt so many emotions. And I was about to kiss the guy I liked, but I know we were both hurt inside, because we both lost a life long best friend. We knew from Randy's actions that there would not be another chance. We were hurt-we needed each other. I don't know what was with me but I started to tear up-right there, in the car-in the driveway of my house. "Whoa whoa!" Will says in a sweet voice. I sniffled. " I'm sorry, I'm sorry," I say. Will leans over. He pulls his hand to my face, but this time, he softly wipes the tears from my cheeks. "Hey, hey, it's ok." I stop tearing up. I put my hand over Wills. He wraps his arms around me. We stayed there, while he held me. This time there was no car horns to startle us, no parties with obnoxious boys, or anything to stop us. He pulled back from the hug, and held me lightly by the chin again. He pulled me close like before. I leaned in, and put my hand up to his face too. His lips were warm and soft. I felt like all of the universe was still moving, but we were stopped in time. He still held me, and kissed me. I felt safe now. I knew he would be there for me when I needed him. I knew that I would be by his side, and he would be by mine.
