Boop!

2.

I wake up in a hospital bed to the sound of beeping. I flutter my eyes open, and I see Jonah sleeping in the chair next to my bed. He wakes up too, and he immediately reaches for my hand.

"Ryann! Are you okay?" He weeps.

"I... I... I think so..." I reply sleepily.

"You fainted! Yesterday, in the hallway!" He explains. "Was it something I said? Something I did? If it was, I'm sorry! I really am! I should have been more careful, I should have realized you were really nervous about that test. I shouldn't have been so selfish, pouting and all about not hanging out. I..." He bursts.

"No... it wasn't you. It's me I was so paranoid about..." I start.

"The test, I know." He interrupts. He smiles, and starts to cry again. "I was just so worried!" He bawls. "I know it's my fault!! You must h... h... hate me now!"

"No! Jonah!! Don't cry! It's not your fault!" I'm sitting up now. "And I don't hate you! I lo... like you even more! You stayed here all night with me!" I stroke his hair. He sniffles his last sniffs, and sits up. He wipes his eyes and apologizes for being such a baby. I say that he's not a baby.

"I love you Iris." He says. I nod.

What? I can't just say I love him! I just found out that I'm a lesbian!

We smile and he leans in for a kiss. I dodge the bullet and head for a hug instead.

Again, I just found out I'm lesbian! I can't passionately kiss him!

"Sorry! Sorry! Too soon! Just woke up from fainting, in a hospital bed, we can't do 'it' in a hospital bed!" He cries.

I wince at the thought of doing 'it' with him. I mean, now that I know I'm a les. I mean, that does explain it. I never really felt that much when I kissed Jonah, or any other boy. I've never kissed a girl, but there were a couple of people who came out in Sampson Valley. I would just have to find a girl I was into, couldn't be that hard could it? I was just so picky about boys... wait, that's just because they're boys! I like girls, not boys. I'm probably not that picky with girls. I'll just have to meet one first.
