6.5- THE EMPTY SPACE IN OUR BRAINS.

R i l e y

Focusing my eyes on the certain
Problem Jahseh's eyes seemed to be focusing so much on.

The pattern his eyes shifted in was fast and quick, I began to focus on the direction his eyes focused on, Followed by a certain buzz.

A quick but yet slow fly reached my eye sight, This fly seemed to trigger Jahseh as he began to make weird hand gestures.

The fly lands on a small crum from an old looking bread of some sort. Jahseh was quick, Quickly Landing the bottom of his white high top shoe on top of the harmless fly.

He disconnected the bottom of his shoe from on top of the poor squished fly. The fly was now all spread as it's juices were all on the concrete floor.

I look up at him reading his unidentifiable expression.
He looks at me as we seem to share the same confusion on each other's face expressions.

"What's your blood type?" He questions randomly, I shrugged my shoulders genuinely not knowing.

"Where did that question come from?". "I don't know..., Maybe the empty space in my brain" He speaks out making me smile.

Both of our hands stood beside each other... My hand relaxed before suddenly touching skin.
I lower my head seeing Jahseh's hand right by mine.

That's when I felt his finger begin to touch my hand more while he just looked around the loud crowd.

He gripped my hand lightly as he rubbed my hand making me feel goosebumps slowly hitting my skin.

His words from yesterday seemed to keep triggering my brain more and more.

The date, I needed to ask myself.
"Jahseh, Do you want to go on a date with me?" I spoke lowly offering as my gut kept screaming No in silence.

He looks at me and tilted his head, "What?". I didn't blame him, It was very loud.

"Nothing" there was a following frown as my hand started to get sweaty. Maybe this was for the best I wouldn't have a single clue in what to do on a date anyways.

My now medium low hair brushed passed my face. The sound of his low but yet fast breathing was being heard over the loud crowd.

They had just preformed in a house party surrounded by a crowd ready to stomp you and shove you into a corner while you suffocate over the loud music that played; Suffocating in silence.

I felt eyes on me, But they weren't jahseh's eyes, I look around. A blond haired boy with a red solo cup in his hand, His tall figure showed a sign of tiredness while he talked to the boy in front of him.

oh come on Riley..., Stop looking at him please—okay... I'll count to ten and if you don't look away from him you like him, And if you look at me it means you love me... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6–Stop looking at him..., 7, 8,9,10.

My head began to get the best of me, Maybe she doesn't like me anyways.
What could he have that I don't?.

I quickly let go of her hand. Maybe I'm going to far with this. Just counting to 10 doesn't say anything about anyone's emotions but it was just my insecurities beginning to fuel around my head, It was only getting the best of me.

I look away once I felt his heated hand let go of mine with a rough motion.
He looked bothered all of a sudden, Maybe something happened while I payed attention to that boy who began to humiliate a random girl for attention from others.

"Jahseh?" I question his face expression, He was clearly upset. "I'm fine" he speaks out of nowhere. Something was up and he wasn't telling me.

"Did something happen?".
"No, Nothing at all. I should look for ski so we can take you home... It's getting late and I don't want to cause any trouble at home".

I ignored his brand new behaviour but at the same time I wonder what happened, I felt so awkward once he just let my hand go so roughly.

I felt as if my hand was just an random object he just grabbed on to then let it go, Well that is what happened.

Minutes later Jahseh pushed passed me while she just stared at me and shrugged, I guess we were both confused.

"You okay?" Ski questioned, I nodded before smiling a bit. "Did I do something?" I ask, Maybe I did something.

Maybe Jahseh told stokeley what happened and I'm just here confused out of my mind.

I guess ski didn't hear me over the loud crowd, Threw out this night It seems like I'm just getting ignored, Over and over again.
