I take his hand and interlock our fingers as we lay side by side.

"I love you." He whispers closing his hand around mine.

"I love you too." I reply placing my head on his shoulder.

I could spend the rest of my life looking into those ocean blue eyes. I could die happily in these arms. I think as his free hand turns my head to his kissing me softly.

These moments were the things of dreams. Those quiet moments only interrupted by the soft sounds of I love yous and soft kissing.

"Jay." I say and he places his forehead to mine.

"Do you have to go?" I ask and he sighs.

"Yeah." He breaths sadly and with a soft had he pulls me closer.

"But I can miss another bus." He says and I smile. I loved his warmth. His smell, his eyes, his laugh, his hands everything. I loved everything about him. I loved him like I've never loved before, before I had ever realized one could love another human being. I had found my soul mate with him and I trusted he felt the same.

He kisses me again before sitting up.

"You know what screw it, lets just run away, me in you. Go somewhere we can't be found. We can live in a tent for all I care." He says and I smile although these moments hurt because I knew it was out of the question. Even thought i wanted too.

"Jay." I say his voice in a soft whisper and he sits up.

"No James, lets just go. We can get jobs we can go to California and never have to come back here." He says which makes me want to cry.

"I want to but;"

"But what, what's left here for us. What are we waiting for? All I need in this world is you and I can't have that here. I die a little inside every time I see you out in public and I'm forced to act like we're strangers. I want to go on dates. I want to hold your hand in public, I want more than two hours with you." He says and I squeeze his hand.

"If your parents find us we're dead." I tell him.

"Give me freedom or give me death." He respond and suddenly I see the hallway light come on and we both panic.

"James. Please." He whispers and I press my head to his.

"Jay I can't." I tell him and he looks at me sadness in his eyes.

I usher him to the window and he climbs out only stopping to kiss me one final time.

"I love you." He whispers and I smile.

"I love you too." I tell him before he leaves.

The moment I return to my bed it feels cold. All of his warmth had left and the bed and myself felt incomplete without him.

I wake up the next morning before getting dressed and lugging my way down stairs only to find my mother and father sitting at the table waiting on me.

"Good morning." I tell them and they both offer me simple smiles. I didn't expect much more.

I sit down turning to the oatmeal. I hated oatmeal but I stopped expecting something more.

The banging on the door is abrupt and even though every morning I expected it I couldn't help but get startled by it.

I stand up before grabbing my bag and heading to school. I sat in the back of the bus next to a girl I never really spoke to. No one ever spoke to one another when the bus pulls up to the white house with with red shutters. A house I knew to well and the moment Jay gets on I look down. I new the driver would be watching and If I new if I let slip he was anything more than then the stranger I rode the bus with we'd be separated even more so.
