JONAH

I have fallen in love with Eben.

I cant keep my eyes off of him.

Everything he does, I just... I love it.

I was in the back of the class and I was looking at the teacher.

Eben was sitting next to me and he looked nervous for some reason.

I looked at him and saw that his arm was shaking a little.

I put my hand on top of his and he looked at me.

I rubbed the top of his hand slowly and he looked away.

I could tell he was scared.

"Mr. S"

"Yes Jonah?"

"Can I take Eben out. He doesnt look good"

"Yep"

"Come on" I said quietly.

We got up and grabbed our bags and left the room.

He looked at me and looked away.

"Eben" I stood in front of him and he stopped walking.

"Eben look at me"

He looked up at me and I sighed.

"What's wrong?"

"Just.... I.... I have to go"

He tried to walk away but I moved so I was in front of him.

"Are you scared of me?"

He looked down.

"Eben"

"Hm"

"Are you scared of me?"

"A little"

"Why?"

"I-I dont know. I just am"

I sighed.

"Can you trust me?"

"I-I'm sorry Jonah" he looked at me.

"But I cant"

I looked down and tears formed into my eyes.

"I'm sorry. Just.... I-I was bullied and I didnt talk to anyone for the rest of my years at school. I wasnt planning on talking to anyone here but then you started talking to me. I didnt want to be rude so I started talking"

"I wasnt nervous because I wasnt good at meeting people. I was nervous because I was scared that you would hurt me"

"I wouldnt do that to you" I looked at him while saying that.

"I would never ever hurt you Eben"

"I know. But I just.... I cant trust you"

Tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Alright" I whispered.

"I'm sorry Jonah. I-"

I turned around and walked away.

"Jonah"

I didnt listen to him. I just kept walking.

I walked to my dorm and laid on the bed.

'Why does my life suck?'

'What happened? Eben's scared of me. Why? Because. He was bullied at school and he didnt talk to anyone at all. He didnt want to talk to anyone here. But then I talked to him'

'He didnt want to be rude so he started talking to me. Then he told me today that he cant trust me because he is scared of me'

'I'm sorry'

'I guess I wont talk to him anymore'

*time skip*

The door opened and I shut my eyes.

"Jonah"

It was Eben.

He sighed and shut the door.

The bed moved a little so I knew he sat next to me.

"Jonah I know you're awake"

I didnt say anything.

"Jonah I'm sorry. I hope you understand why I cant trust you"

I didnt do anything.

He sighed and kissed my temple.

He then got off of the bed.

My eyes opened and I looked at him.

He was sitting on his bed, looking at his lap.

He saw me looking at him and I looked away quickly.

"Jonah"

He sat next to me and I sighed.

I looked down.

"Jonah. I'm sorry"

"It's fine. I understand"

I sat up and didnt look at him.

"Jonah. Can you look at me?"

I looked at him.

"Listen. I'm sorry ok"

"It's fine Eben. I understand"

He sighed and looked down.

I looked away and laid down and put my back to him.

He got up and tears rolled down my face.

I shut my eyes and fell asleep.
