Fine

Chapter 14

Kenny is leaving today. I've done a pretty good job of not crying. Pretty girly, huh? I actually want to cry. We haven't even been together that long. Maybe it's just the fact that once he leaves I'll be all alone. I don't have any other friends here.

"Ash, chill." I was pulled from my depressing thoughts by Kenny. I looked down at myself and realized I was bending my fingers back and taking in quick shallow breaths. I reverted myself back to normal and walked over to Kenny.

"I'm chill, see?" I said, hugging him. I gave him a reassuring smile.

"Whatever you say..." He said skeptically. I kissed him and went back over to my bed.

"I can't believe you're leaving me all alone!" I exclaimed, smiling.

"Oh calm down." Kenny said. He stepped away from his bag and came over to me. I moved back and he straddled me.

"I'll see you in a couple of weeks." He said, pressing his lips to mine.

"Ugh, but it's so boring here." I whined.

"You're such a baby." Kenny laughed. I pouted and he mimicked me.

"You're so mean." I said. He pushed me back on to my bed and kissed me, slipping his tongue into my mouth.

"Yeah, I'm so mean." He said. He kissed me again.

His lips still felt amazing as ever. They would never get old, no matter how many times I kissed them. If you couldn't tell, I like him a lot.

"I'm gonna miss this." I said.

"It's only, like, two weeks until you leave." Kenny said.

"Two weeks too long."

"Bye, Ash. I'll see you in a couple of weeks." Kenny said, hugging me. I hugged him tightly.

"Bye. See you then." I said. He smiled, grabbed his bags and left for the lobby. We had decided earlier to make our goodbye quick.

But I need to tell him something first.

I need to get to him.

I ran down the hall and caught up to him. He was just about to step into the lobby.

"Kenny!" I said, "One last thing. Stay strong for me, okay? Don't do anything stupid. Please."

He looked me in the eyes and smiled. "Of course."

What he did next surprised me. He kissed me. One of those really cliche kisses too. His arms were around me neck and I could tell by the way his weight had shifted that he had one foot in the air.

"See you soon." He said turning to leave. I looked around to see if anyone had seen our kiss but there wasn't even anyone near us.

"Bye, Kenny." I said. He waved and then left. I looked down at my feet.

Now I'm all alone.

That night was harder than the first night here. I couldn't sleep. I felt so alone. It was a terrible feeling. I wonder what Kenny is thinking right now. Is he missing me as much as I'm missing him?
