"Twenty nine?" Dan says, there was a certain level of uncertainty in his voice because we've used almost all of the dares. We've been playing for almost an hour but I didn't want the game to end. I didn't want to be left alone for once, and if it was meant to be with someone, I sure as hell would want it to be Dan. I looked down at my phone to see that the dare read "sing anything you say for the next three rounds". Lame. "Kiss the person to your right," I lied. I was almost sure that it would be a mistake, but I couldn't exactly take my words back now.

"I mean, I'm the only person here so... should we?" I tried to make it seem casual and not like I was desperate to feel his mouth on my own. He would be repulsed. Absolutely disgusted by the faggot who for some reason can't keep his mind off of the brunette who sat in front of him. I would scare away the one person who didn't already see right through me. The one thing I have wrenched away just because I had an urge for the only man who could see past "Remington Leith" almost to the person no one has seen in a while. The one who was gone.

"I mean I guess, only if you want too," Dan says.

"It's just a dare, what harm can it do?" I say, an empty reassurance that everything will be the same after this.

A few seconds had passed, thirteen to be exact. I hated the way neither of us were moving. It was dead silence as we both seemed to contemplate the same thoughts of backing out. I moved closer to Dan, close enough that I could feel his breath on my neck, only a few centimeters from connecting our lips. The slow seconds passed, and nothing came. Forever passed in just a few seconds, but then time stopped. Dan leaned in and as soon as his lips were there they were gone. All that he left was the tingling on my lips and another piece that slightly filled the void.

But then he left. Without a word, no goodbyes, nothing, he walked out of the door, leaving me alone. I was alone. A moment after it registered, I felt the burning in my eyes. I didn't try to stop it, because I was completly, utterly, despretly alone. The tears flowed, and eventually became loud sobs that somehow still couldn't fill the silence.I ruined everything with one mistake. But that's what always happens. Every single time.
