Loving a girl is hard, especially if you're a girl. Loving anyone is hard, especially if you're me. I just could never imagine life without loving her, and that hurts me. It hurts to think my family wouldn't support me for loving who I love.

Being apart of a world where people are scared to come out isn't okay, I'm too scared to think about saying it out loud. What if I get kicked out? What if I have no where to go? What if I no one will love me ever again?

alex❤️ : hey, i'm a bit hungry, want me to pick you up and go get a bite to eat?❤️

My heart drops. How can one text make me feel so intense towards a person?

me: yes of course :) i'll get ready

alex❤️: see you in a minute. ❤️

"Hey mom, I'm going for a ride with alex, I'll be back in a few!" I yell while walking out the door, maybe she heard me, maybe not.

A gray car pulls into the driveway, and Alex pops her head out the window and shines her beautiful smile and me. I instantly feel fuzzy, and smile back. "Cmon, you ever gettin' in?" Alex yells to me with her most southern  accent. "Yeah, yeah be patient!" I reply playfully. 

As I sit in the passenger seat, with my hand on the console, Alex puts her hand on mine. Out of instinct, I flip mine over to intertwine our fingers. "I was thinking maybe going to Knights Drive-in and get some shakes and burgers?" Alex asks me after a minute, I could feel her eyes buried into me. "Y-yeah of course." I force out. I look up at her eyes, and they twinkle.

She is out of this world.
