"Do you know if Gabe's here?"I asked "Turn around dumb dumb" I turned around to see Gabe with his mouth hang open. "I-I-I...um..hi Ashley."He looked into my eyes,"You look amazing." I giggle to avoid blushing." Thanks so much hee!" "Let's dance." We to the dance floor and EVERYONE looked at me. I knew I was slayin but they didn't need to make such a big deal about it. Jeez! I started dancing in the back because everyone there was a professional dancer and I was just...me. I made sure no one was watching me as I walk to the punch table. "Kenneth snuck by next to me after a while. "Where's your man?" "Dancing."I said dully "Oh, um shouldn't you be up there with him?", he asked confused. "Nah" "Oh come on Ashley lighten up." He playfully punched my shoulder. "NO KENNETH",I rose my voice a little,"You don't get it. You see them dancing out there. It's like it been choreographed or something. I could never be a REAL dancer. Like them." Kenneth pushed the hair from my face so he could hold my cheek. I felt REALLY uncomfortable right then.Not because he was touching me. But because GABE could have been watching!! And I was NOT a thot!! I began breathing hard. Then my usual coughing came up. But I didn't cough like this in public. I looked at everyone staring and I ran out the room into the alley. All I could here were murmurs and Kenneth saying he'll get me. I went to the darkest place to calm down. I can hear his footsteps. All I'm thinking is don't tell him don't you tell him He finally finds me and starts asking me all these questions. I suddenly scream out, "I have Cystic Fibrosis. "What?!" "It's a rare medical condition where mucus builds up in your lungs and you cough A LOT. It... it's incurable." "So you're saying there's no cure?" "Yeah. It gets worse over the years. But you're the only person I've told that to." "What about Gabe?" "I WAS going to tell him. Tonight actually.", I chuckle softly. "I'm gonna go get GABE.",he runs off. It starts to rain. Hard. Great just what I needed.😑I just cry. I feels like I've been crying for hours when's bust through the door. He sits next to me and wipes the tears off my face. He kisses my cheek, nose and lips. "I'm moving to Georgia.", I whisper. He stays quiet. "I got a record deal in Atlanta from So So Def." He looks at the rain for a while. "I'm so SO sor-" He cuts me of when he kisses me. On the lips. Like he means it. It feels like we never stopped only of gasps of air. I finally see he's crying too. I'm the one who wipes his tears now. "2 months",I say. "What?" He looks up to show his red eyes. "I'm leaving in two months baby. We have time." He smiles." Will you still love me even if you're on the other side of the country? Forever and always?" I look up at the sky then at him. I cup his face in my hands. I peck his lips." Forever and always!" And then we kiss again.
