Oh Bo (Bo Burnham)

Chapter 5

..."I don't think we should be dating. I mean, you're leaving at the end of the summer, and that will break my heart, and I just don't think I should blindly enter a relationship with you, just to have my heart broken with the same old story. I mean it's not fair that--" my eyes began to fill with tears as he pulled me into a tight hug. I tried to break free, but his grip tightened on me. I finally just let it out with my tears landing on his shoulder.

"Megan, I would never break your heart. I know it's only a summer but if we both put our time into it, we can make it work" he said. I know it's a lie though. Why should I trust a guy I just met with my heart? I can't understand why I was crying over this.

"Bo--" I started.

"We can make it work" he interrupted. Can we? I mean, I barely know him. I really can't believe I want to do this. My mind is screaming no, while my heart is screaming yes.

"I'm just gonna go" I said. Just as I was about to leaving he spun me around and pressed his lips to mine. I pushed him away and he just pulled me closer.

"Bo, we can't do this"

"Why not?"

"It's not going to work out"

"I'll make it work"

"Even you know you can't promise that"

"Megan," he paused, " I'll make it work" and I believed him.

"Then lets continue the date" I said as he pecked me on the lips. We continued and had a great time. We walked back to my house and he held my hand. As we neared my house I tried to let go, but he just made his grip tighter.

"Don't leave yet" he begged.

"Why not?" I asked.

"I don't want to lose you" be whispered, staring at the ground.

"It's only for a night" I said, but I understood that his remark went deeper than that. He stayed silent. It began to get awkward so I offered to have a seat on the curb. "What's this really about?"

"Nothing"

"Bo, you can tell me"

"You wouldn't understand" he said quickly and sharply. That hurt a bit. I guess he could sense it. "Sorry" he added.

"It's whatever" I said.

"No, it's just" he paused. I could sense his hesitation to tell me. "It's just...my mom".

"What happened?" I hesitantly said, not wanting to overstep my bounds.

"She....she had a heart attack yesterday."

"Is she okay?"

"She's better, still in the hospital".

"You should go be with her." I said slowly. I didn't want him to leave but it was the right thing to do. I could feel his grip tighten around my hand. He kept silent, as if making an important decision.

"Will you come with me?" He questioned. That took me by surprise.

"To the hospital?" I questioned. I was still in shock.

"Yeah. Sorry, I know it was stupid of me to ask. You barely know--"

"Sure" I butt in. "I'll go with you if you want me to".

"Awesome." he breathed out. "I'll pick you up at seven thirty.......in the morning" he blurted the last part.

"I'll be ready" I smiled. He gave me a quick peck and his grip lessened. I walked to my front door and waved him goodbye.

Why did he want me to go with him? And why was he afraid of losing me? It was too late to find the answers now. Tomorrows a whole 'nother day. A yawned and drifted off into a deep, coma-like state.
