"what's up" I replied realizing it was Rylan. He frantically looked around and saw that the Kindergarten room was open. I grabbed me by the wrist and brought me inside. "I..I..just wanted to say I love you." he said as he reached down and held my hand. "Rylan, I love you too, but what are we? I need to know." I said quietly. "I want to be more, but I feel like we get nowhere with dating?" He replied. "I know." I said, my voice sounding drained. Rylan hugged me and I hugged him back. He hugged me even tighter and for those few moments, everything felt right, how it should be. 

We just stood their not knowing what to do next. He broke the hug and pulled up one of the bean bags. He sat down and motioned for me to sit down next to him.  I leaned my head against his shoulder. I couldn't do this anymore. I was mentally drained. I busted out sobbing. He didn't even say a word. He just put his arm around me and pulled me in closer too. We just sat there in silence crying with each other. Then we both fell asleep not even knowing what hit us. 

We woke up about an hour later. "Crap! I'm late for my basketball warm ups!" he said frantically. I moaned as he moved and I collapsed into the hole we had made into the bean bag. "Wait for me." I said jumping out of the bean bag rubbing my eyes. "Let's get it, Shawty." he said with a chuckle. I rolled my eyes and he grabbed my hand as we walked down to the gym.
