                   Joey's Pov.

I kept replaying what Kevin said to me, he likes me, but he is not even gay?

Did I turn him? No everyone else knows you can't turn someone!

I felt butterflies in my stomach, when he said he liked me.
There was only one thing to do, and I was gonna do it.
My 18th birthday is next week, so I can go back to my house and transfer schools. No they probably won’t let me, since it’s too close to graduation, so that’s not gonna happen.
Maybe I'll just date a scapegoat, ''Tyler.'' I mumble.

Yeah Tyler will do, I'll give him a call, that way I know Kevin will get over whatever the hell he's feeling for me.
The next couple of weeks, I avoided Kevin, David and Sammy, I would leave early to go to school, and after I would meet Tyler at the park, and I wouldn’t come back home til everyone was in bed.

Tonight was different; Sammy was waiting for me in my room.
''Why are you dating him?'' she asked me.
''Why not?'' I replied shrugging
''Do you love him?'' she queried, while lying on my bed.
No I didn’t love him, but when I leave for college, I won’t get hurt.
''What if I did?” I retorted, she frowned and sighed.
''Why are you answering my question with a question?'' she gripped, well damn Sammy was smart.
''What do you mean?'' I responded innocently.
''Ugh, Joey be serious.'' She chided agitated.
''Sammy, I like him so please quit asking me shit like that.'' I replied, without looking at her of course.

No I didn’t like him, hell I keep picturing Kevin's face, I dream about him, and that just can’t happen.
I don’t want to fall in love.
I can’t fall in love.
I won’t fall in love.
I sighed, I’m so tired of all this crap, tired of avoiding Kevin, tired of avoiding my feelings for Kevin, do I even have feelings for him?
And if I do, what are these feelings do I like him like a brother, a friend or more?
''Joey, please give Kevin a chance, he's sad and hurting.'' Sammy spoke softly.
''I can’t.'' I whispered back.
''I need to go to sleep.'' I avoided her face; I didn’t want her to see my unshed tears.
She got up and walked out of my bedroom, yes I could give him a chance, but what's gonna happen, when he realizes he's not gay? I’m gonna be all alone and heartbroken like I am now, so why go through all that?
The next few days, Sammy was giving me the silent treatment, Kevin looked terrible, but  David was just there for him, I felt bad that he was depressed and wasn’t eating, but like everyone said you gotta look out for yourself, if you don’t, than who will?
I went to my class, I sat down than my phone beep, it was a text from Tyler.
Tyler=sorry, it’s over between us.
I just replied with a quick 'ok'.
Yeah I knew it would end up like this, we never even kissed or held hands.
''Joey.'' I heard someone yelling my name, I glanced to the window and outside was Kevin standing by the big oak tree.
I squinted my eyes, to see him looking at me with desperate eyes, I got up off my chair and went outside to meet him, ignoring my teacher's call and  the students chuckling, don’t ask me why I was going, I didn’t know, it was like my body had a mind of its own.
''What do you want Kevin?'' I mumbled my question with no strength, I was tired of all this hiding, of all the avoiding and I’m mostly tired of everything that's going on in my life.
''Why won’t you believe me?'' He studied my face  as if he could find the answer.
''Kevin, you’re not gay.'' I responded
''I never said I was gay, I only said I’m in love with you.'' He stated.
''How do you know?'' I argued.
I didn’t even know what love was, I’ve never been in love, so how does he know that he loves me.
''Number one, my heart skips a beat when you’re near me.'' He smiled at me.
''Number two, I can't breathe when someone says your name.'' He piped.
''Number three, when I see you in pain, I’m in pain and I want to do anything to make you smile.'' He drawled slowly.
''Number four, I love you so god damn much, that I would fly to the moon and back if you asked me to.'' He finished his reasons, and stared at me with hope in his eyes.
''I’m sorry Kevin I can’t.'' I choked out.
''You can’t or you won’t?'' He protested.
''I just can’t.'' I repeated what I said to Sammy a few nights ago.
''Why, please just tell me why.'' He sounded desperate now.
''I just can’t, just quit insisting.'' He just scoffed at my answer.
He then shook his head while running his fingers through his hair.
''Not a good enough reason.'' He said shaking.
''What the hell do you want from me Kevin?'' I yelled at him frustrated.
''I want you to want me, like I want you!''
''I want you to love me like I love you!''
''I want you to feel, the way I feel for you!''
''But most of all, I want you to be true to yourself and stop pushing me away. I love you and these feelings won’t go away.'' He finished with tears in his eyes.
''Yeah, it all sounds good, but what about college? I’m going to Yale, and you?'' I pointed out the obvious to him.
''Well fuck me, now you’re just making out excuses.'' Kevin laughed humorlessly.
''This is what’s gonna happen, if you accept me, I’m prepared to follow you anywhere, I'll get a job and go to community college, and at the end of the night we see each other.'' He said,     He would follow me, can his love be true?, I didn’t say anything I just looked at him.
''You got till graduation to decide, if by than you haven’t given me an answer, then I'll assume you made your choice by leaving here single.'' he drawled while looking straight into my eyes.
I just nodded, he was about to leave but turned back around and looked at me.

''Can I, maybe kiss you?'' he asked timidly, should I let him?
Ok a little kiss won’t hurt.

''Ok.'' I murmured.

He came closer to me, leant in slowly, we both stared into each other’s eyes, neither of us waned to break eye contact, we were touching noses and I closed my eyes in anticipation for his kiss.
When I felt his soft lips on mine, it was like fireworks in my stomach, like a bottle of honey bursting open in my mouth, it was sweet yet passionate.
I couldn’t help but moan, his arms were around my waist, I didn’t realize I had thrown my arms around his neck, his tongue made it into my mouth after a while of teasing my lip.
When we finally needed air, we both stopped kissing and stayed there, he rested his forehead against mine.
''You’ve got beautiful eyes.'' He whispers in a husky tone.
Kevin let go of me and started to walk away but then stopped.
''Remember, you got till graduation Joey.'' He reminded me without turning around then continued walking.
He left me standing there; I touch my lips, replaying our kiss, this kiss felt different.
Could I be falling in love?
