Chapter 27
The words feel right in my mouth.
"Say it again," he says with a slight curve in his lip.
"I love you," I say.
"I love you, too" he leans down and our lips connect. It feels like forever, but the kiss only lasts a few seconds.
He puts his face on my hair, breathing in. Kissing my head he tells me that he should let me get dressed. I nod, watching him go.
I ache, I want him to come back. I want him to come back and kiss me. Hold me.
I let him leave.

I look at the pile of clothes in my lap. I see my see-through rose shirt, a tank top, and some jeans. I go into the bathroom that's connected to my room to put my clothes on.
I look at a picture of a family; a mom, a dad, a girl, and a brother.
I think of my father. The thought of him pangs me.
My father died in a car crash when I was little, I didn't really know him. but my mom says that he was very sweet and handsome.
I feel a raindrop on my cheek. No, not a rain drop, I'm inside. Tears, I think; I'm crying.
I wipe my tears away and leave the bathroom.
