I'm Ruth.
I've never said that to anyone before.
Well, I've never said anything to anyone before.
You guessed it
I'm mute
Nobody's ever been able to read me
Nobody... until him...
When she kissed me back my brain lit on fire and the warmth spread throughout my entire body. After that I was addicted, I couldn't bare not to be with her and I could barely breathe when she was around. Those kisses were my salvation and my torment. I lived for them and I would die with the memory of them on my lips. I dedicated my life to being with her from the moment of that first kiss, for I knew that if I lost her I would lose myself. She was the half that made me whole.
Ruth
Chance's kiss stole the words I didn't need to say. In that silence all of our secrets were laid bare, all of our passions and the spark of love that existed between us. In that moment, in his love, I was strong. One kiss and I had the courage to do what had to be done.
I love Chance. No, I'm in love with Chance.
When we arrived back at our... I mean my place, Chance stood in the doorway awkwardly shuffling around.
I look up at him as he doesn't leave.
(PLAY THE SONG)
"Ruth. You kissed me back."
He looks down at the floor for the first time, instead of inspecting my face 24/7.
"Ruth, I'm just going to be honest. I don't know what to say but I'm just going to be honest.
I'm not sure what it was.
Your eyes.
Your stubbornness.
You hair.
Your awkwardness.
Your adorableness.
But damn. Whatever it is. It made me fall in love with you.
Ruth, there are a few things in the world that are priceless. And you're definitely one of them. I love everything about you, the way your eyes light up when I make a lame joke. The feel of your hair on my face when you walk away from me. The way your thumb twitches when you're embarrassed. There's probably a million things I could go on about, even the feel of your lips on mine. How pink and swollen they turn. But all of this isn't enough to tell you how I feel. Happiness for me is being with you. And living with you. I don't know why I left in the first place, please forgive me Ruth. And I promise I'll try my best."
A tear rolls down his cheek and I wipe it away with the back of my hand. I let my hand flop down to his shoulder then I walk into the house with him following behind me.
We both go to the bedroom and just sit there, kinda just looking at each other.

Well, what where we going to say?
Chance just said that he's in love with me...
The minute he said that, my stomach was filled with butterflies. The boy I love loves me back?
