The air was cold but relaxing as I finally get the hang of this whole ice skating thing.

 I was able to make a full lap around the rink without falling which was impressive considering my epic fail this afternoon. AJ had three days to learn this and I wanted to help him as much as I could.


I bury my hands in my pockets and look up at the pitch black sky. I missed the stars from Bridgeport and the smell of the ocean.

 I sigh deeply as the thought of Bridgeport somehow brings me back to Jonathan and the forbidden thoughts crawl back into my brain.

 

I had fucked that up a long time ago. There was no way he would ever trust me again, not that he could actually love me like that anyway but...grrr. 


The self-doubt builds up as I go faster and faster on the ice without noticing it. 


I couldn't get him out of my head for the past sixteen years. 

Nothing was going to get him out now. 


I laugh to myself and roll my eyes. 

Thinking of how stupid I am. 

I'm a fucking joke. 


I could never even begin to compare to his precious Linda Sonada. 


The wind starts to build up along with my speed.


 His laugh, his smile, his heart, all belonged to her.


 I was just his friend.


 And I would forever stay his friend. 




The thought makes my heart sink to the pit of my stomach and I trip and fall on the ice. Skidding into the barrier wall. 




"Are you okay?"
