  ❝ Haddasah, come on dear, just open your eyes and look at me, ❞  His voice was stern and his eyes widened as he was anxious to know what was wrong with me.

  ❝ I hate it when you're gloomy, It really hurts me to see my CLOSE FRIEND like this. Please tell me what's wrong? ❞  He whispered before brushing his hands against my cheek.

It took me a few seconds to regain my voice and emotions, abruptly words quickly and loudly splattered out from my mouth.

  ❝ Strawberries...it's just that until I met you, I never knew what love was...❞ I took a deep breath and paused. My heart suddenly skips a beat.

Every vessel inside of me had stopped functioning. I bite my tongue, trying to hold the tears that threatened to leave my eyes and that's when I can't hold them back. First, one small crystal bead escapes from my right eye. I can feel the warmth, sliding down my  cheek, and rolling off my chin. Abruptly another then another until my eyes were flood with them, coming like a rainfall. Sniffing every ten seconds, they fall and I let them.

 ❝ Every time I set my eyes on you, I see the kind of person I want to share my life with. I know I probably sound insane but I can't hold on to these feelings anymore Javier because I've never been able to look at someone the way I look at you. ❞  I leaned in towards him placing my head on his shoulder and my grip on his arm tightened.

     My dark blue eyes looked as if an ocean had been encased inside of small glass marbles.

   ❝Ple-please don't leave me Javier,❞ I stammered. Then the smooth spheres appeared to be cracked; the ocean had started to leak, little water droplets streamed down my smooth chocolate espresso cheeks again.

His face didn't give me many answers to what he was about to say either, just a blank look of surprise. I took in a big gulp. I guess the fear of telling him got to me and I just blanked out for a second. His mouth began to move, and time stopped in my head. Everything moved so slow, and my stomach fell to my feet. I began to feel really dizzy.

  ❝ I think I shouldn't have eaten the chicken mini tacos earlier. ❞
