When the movie finishes I wake Alec up. He fell asleep like he used to do when we dated. Some things never change. He looks cute, there's no use in denying it.

I have already shaken him 4 times. Maybe it's time to break out the big guns. I take out my air horn and bring it near his ear and press it.

He wakes up fast and scared.

'WHAT THE FU-" He yells. "what?" he adds annoyed.

"Nothing, just that the film finished and I should really go pack my stuff. I leave in five hours." I say looking at my watch.

"Sooo... you're telling me to leave?" He says a bit of sadness showing in his voice.

"No, I mean, if you want to stay and help me, or just stay doing your thing..."

"Yeah, okay I'll help you." He answers with a shrug.

We walk up the stairs to my room while Noah exits his.

Phew. He didn't notice Alec.

"Yo, Alec, wassup, man? Long time no see!"

Spoke too fast.

"Hey Noah, not much. Nari just told me you two are leaving. Why didn't you tell me, dawg?"

"Nari? You two back together?"

"Don't get your hopes too high, boy." I say bitterly.

He looks at me with sadness and surprise with a hint of... remorse? guilt? Noah Hall? Nah, impossible. Then looks away and continues talking with Alec while I enter my room, lock the door and pack my stuff.

                                           (like if u read it like SpongeBob, ok no bye)

"Hey, Nari, we got carried awa- I see you've already finished packing. Sorry I didn't help you." Alec says scratching the back of his neck and smiling shyly.

"Nah, it's okay, dawg." I say mocking him.

He throws himself at my naked bed and lands on his face, then proceeds to grunt because he hit his nose in the process.

He flips on his back and hugs the teddy bear he got me, looking at the ceiling, lost in thought.

After a long silence I lay next to him, and he holds my hand. We just stay there, lost looks, memories flooding our minds.

We were laying in the exact same place, in the exact same position.

I took a quick glance at him and saw him already staring at me. I blushed and looked away.

"You know, you are so beautiful, I can't get enough of you. I'm just so glad you're mine. I always thought that a person can only experience true happiness once in a lifetime, but with you, I realized that happiness is every minute of every day that I spend with you. And when I hold you in my arms, my heart pounds, and jumps, and runs around in circles, and twists, and complicates. You, yourself, make me a complete mess. I know it's cliché, typical watt-pad story, the bad boy changes for the girl and blah blah blah, but, honestly, I had never felt this way before. Yes, I had been attached to some girls, but never like this. Never in such an emotional way. I... Hell, Nari... I am completely, utterly, madly, deeply, in love with you. And you know how I know that?" He makes a small pause. "Well, whenever I am with you I feel so high, I fear I might not come back down. Everything reminds me of you, the tree where we first kissed, the cute lil café where I asked you out, when I wasn't even sure about what I felt for you. I don't ever want to leave your side. You drive me crazy, Nari, I need you. So bad. And I need to know... if you... feel the same way..."

I'm not the kind of person to cry, but, ugh, screw it. A teardrop runs through my cheek against my will, although I don't try to stop it.

"That... was so cliché." I say letting a little laugh escape and earning a chuckle from him. "Yes, Alec. I love you too."

I remember it like it was yesterday. Screw it, like it was this morning. The first time we said I love you.

"Nari?" He calls me waking me up from my daydream. Then I see his lips moving but hear no sound.

"Huh?"

"I said, why are you crying?" He says propped up on his elbow and his head resting in his palm, a serious look of concern in his face.

I alertedly take my small, thin fingers to my cheek, only to find it wet. I quickly wipe the already-fallen tears, and the ones that are about to come out as soon as I blink.

"Well... to be brutally honest... the memory of us saying our first I love you's came to my mind and... I couldn't handle it. Sorry." I say a little embarrassed.

"Hey, don't be embarrassed of feeling things. It's normal. I... I was thinking of that too."

We stay there in an awkwardly comfortable silence, until he breaks it.

"If you were thinking about that and broke down, does it mean... you still have feelings for me?" He asks cautiously.

"No." I say without a doubt. "Yes. I don't know. But even if I did, nothing matters anymore. I'm leaving, you're staying. It'd be useless to even try." I add sadly.

"I know... Anyways, I should leave now. I probably should let you sleep for a bit before you leave." He says getting up, but I grab him by the waist and pull him down back on the bed.

"Please, don't leave. Just not yet."

He lies on the bed and rearranges our bodies so that I'm laying on top of him, and starts stroking my long, black hair.

"..... Oh I feel your heartbeat, and oh, you're coming around, coming around, coming around. If you can love somebody, love them all the same. You gotta love somebody, love them all the same. I'm singing, oh, I'm feeling your heartbeat. I'm trying to put it all back together. I've got a story and I'm trying to tell it right. I've got the kerosene and the desire. I'm trying to start a flame in the heart of the night. Oh you gotta fire and it's burning in the rain, thought that it went out, but it's burnin' just the same..." He sings and hums our song while playing with my hair until I fall asleep, but continues long after, until he does too.
