Jorge's POV
-
Once we hit the ground we began running. I took his hand in mine and interlaced our fingers as I tugged him so he would go faster away from the house. The air felt trapped in my lungs and I struggled to breathe properly as we ran away from Benji's house and father. Suddenly in the moment, I felt invincible. Like everything in the world would be fine as long as I could hold Benji's hand in mine forever.

I continued tugging him as we ran all the way to my house. When we stopped, we were breathless and standing outside my front door. I paused as I caught my breath and finally looked at him, and smiled. A real smile.

Then before I knew what was happening, Benji leaned in and kissed me. I wondered if what I felt now was like doing drugs. Because I easily felt like the happiest man on the planet. His lips were smooth and soft. Exactly how I dreamed. Yet I knew this could never happen. Benji and I would never work. And quickly, I pulled away.

I looked at Benji who was dazed and apologetic looking. He immediately started with ramblings of apologies.  "I'm so sorry Jorge, I miss read the situation and I wasn't thinking and .. FUCK."  Benji put his head in his hands frustratedly.

I began to laugh. I couldn't help it, and It wasn't even funny I just felt the urge to laugh so I did it. Then Benji joined in and we laughed until I almost pissed myself.

Abruptly my front door opened and I slightly jumped, then realized it was just my sister standing there in confusion. "Jorge? why are you just standing outside?" she questioned in a soft tone, and pushed her glasses up her nose.

"Nothing, don't worry. Uh Benji this is my sister, Mia, Mia.. Benji" I motioned to Benji.

"Hi" He squeaked out and she just waved before stepping aside and making room for us to come in. I opened the screen door
