Love

London.

I sat in my room, working on calculus homework and thinking about Blade. She was so violent sometimes. I heard a ring at the doorbell, and somehow knew it was her. I raced down the stairs and opened the door.

"Hey!" I said, flinging my arms around her.
"H-hi," she stuttered, off guard.
"What's up?"
"Can we talk?"
"Sure," I said, shutting the door behind her and leading her to my room.

She took a deep breath.
"I like you," she said, looking nervous and innocent.

I laughed, and she looked appalled.

"Why are you laughing?"
"I know you like me. That's why we're best friends."
"No. I-I really like you."
"Okay..."
"You make me happy and calm and you make all the pain go away."
"Blade I don't understand."
"I'm in love with you god dammit!" She screamed, "I'm in love with you and I cant help it. Yes I'm a lesbian. Yes I want to kiss you and hold you and love you and I don't want you to go and I'm sorry but I just I'm so sorry I love you."

I just stared at her as she lost it. She grabbed my face and kissed me hard on the mouth. I was shocked, but enjoyed it. She tasted like fire. I was about to kiss back when she pulled away.

"I need to go. I'm sorry," she whispered, and sprinted out the door.

I watched her leave, not daring to follow.
