Jeremy's POV
I go to Tina's room to see her asleep. I set the flowers on her table and sigh quietly.
Her eyes flutter open and she sees me. "Jeremy..." Her voice is weak.
I smile at her, sadly. "Hey, Tina..."
She sniffs and sits up. She drinks some water and sees the flowers. "You got these for me?"
"Uh...yeah...I know its not much-"
She gets up and hugs me. "Its okay. I love them..."
I hold her in my arms as tears fall from my eyes.
"You're crying..." She pulls away and wipes my tears. "Don't waste your tears on me..." She grins.
"Tina..."
"Yeah, Jer?"
"I don't think I'm gay...because I like you..." I pull away. "I gotta go..." I quickly leave and get in my car as I start crying.
Dezi gets in my car and smiles as she holds me. She pulls away and types. *I'm proud of you.*
I hug her and she giggles. I look up. "You giggled..."
She nods.
"Have you always been able to go that?"
She shakes her head.
"So, you practiced?"
She nods and smiles.
"I'm proud of you."
*And I, of you.* She giggles again.
"Thanks, Dez." I hug her again.
*You should be up there with her.*
"I can't." I sigh. "She needs space..." I chuckle. "Especially from me."
*She needs you the most right now!!!*
"Does she?"
