  Silence. People think it's killer. On the other hand, some people find it comforting. Personally, I find it to be quite expressive; in silence you can pick up things that you normally couldn't.
  Why bring up silence? Because right now. I'm in an enclosed room with my boyfriend that's right, boyfriend, and it's silent. How did this happen you ask? My friends. I hate them, but beggars can't be choosers.
  "(Y/n). Say something. I'm bored," he flicks the glass window on the Farris Wheel.
  "I can't do anything about it," she bites her lip, "Sorry. I didn't mean to... sound so... mad."
  Silence follows again. You'd think since we've been dating we'd have so many things to talk about, but silence is so common in our relationship. We don't act like a couple, I think I'm a disappointment. He's never kissed me, said 'I love you', or held my hand. I hope for too much.
  She glances out the window and watches the people bustling around the fair. Jabra gets up and sits next to her; her eyes glide over to him.
  His hand cups her cheek and his voice is barely above a whisper, "(Y/n)... can I tell you something?"
  "U-uh... s-sure," she blushes deeply. Is he going to break up with me? Her heart rate increases and she doesn't look him in the eye.
  "Don't be afraid," he tilts her chin up so his eyes capture hers, "I'm not going to hurt you."
  Silence envelopes them. She still feels unsettled and moves around under his gaze. He starts leaning closer and she feels his breath on her lips, "(Y/n), I haven't told you this before, but I hope you knew, I love you."
  She closes her eyes and waits for the impact. His lips graze hers softly. She kisses him back and wraps her arms around his neck. His thumb caresses her cheek as he deepens the kiss. He pulls away and they dissipate any bond they shared; completely alone, no body part touching another.
  "I love you too," she feels his hand on her cheek again. He pulls her into a hug.
  "I really love you," his voice cracks, "No matter what anyone says. Don't be discouraged. I love you. Only you."
  The wheel comes to a complete stop and he unravels his arms from around her body. Silence. It becomes quite and they both look out the window. It seems to follow me.
  When they get off the ride, she feels his hand enclose hers. His warm body heat seeps through into her hand. Silence. They don't say a single word the whole entire night. They didn't need to, they didn't have to. The silence between them, spoke many volumes.
  Though she was still puzzled at his words, it all makes sense within the next month or so. Jabra moved to another city; she couldn't move with him and he has the reputation for being a 'heartbreaker'. Silence.
  If anyone were to listen to his, they'd know, he never broke up with them; they would always use him and break up with him after he's served his purpose. He truly loves (Y/n), and she loves him. Silence, and all.
