He calls me blue.

KYLE.

Maybe this was too much. Maybe johnnie and alex were wrong.

"I don't know what to believe. " her voice was drowned out by her sobbing, but that didn't conceal the obvious sadness.

I could tell that she was overwhelmed, because whenever things got to be too much in Ohio, she would just cry and shut down, and I learned that the only way to get her to calm down was to hold her, even though she would always squirm and demand for me to let go, but it always worked.

So that's what I did.

I put both of my hands on her knees, then dragged her to me so that she was sitting on my thighs and leaning against me.

She started to flip out so I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight, forcing her to stay where she was.

"Kyle let me go. "

"No. Just calm down, it's okay. " I whispered in her ear.

"You don't get to calm me down when you are the cause of this. "

"Please hope. "

"You can't just expect me to forgive you right away. "

"But there isn't anything to forgive. I didn't cheat on you hope. "

She stopped moving but she looked up and into my eyes.

"But you hurt me Kyle. And even if you didn't mean to you still were fucking making out with that girl. Even I would be able to fucking tell, even if I was as drunk as you. "

"Hope, it was an accident. I'm so sorry that I hurt you. Please, forgive me. Please. "

"Stop apologizing. "

"Then what do I do. How do I make you know that I'm sorry and that I would never hurt you on purpose. How do I prove that I-"

And then she hugged me.

And I hugged back.

Her small hands wrapped around my neck, and mine held her waist. Throughout me was the same feeling I got the first time we touched.

It was like electricity.

She pulled away, putting her head down and dropping her arms. She let out a breath and then stood.

"I'm going home. "

I stood, hurrying to rush to her side. I grabbed her arms and stopped her. "Are we okay now?"

"I don't know Kyle. "

"But you- never mind. Didn't you feel something. " she stepped out of my grip and walked towards the door.

"I did feel something, but I want to go home Kyle. "

"Hope-"

"I need to go home. " she turned to me, eyes red and puffy, mouth turned down in a frown, and her entire body slumped.

I nodded. "Goodbye hope. "

"Goodbye Kyle. Tell your friends thank you for inviting me. " and with that she walked out the door.
