"What if I never get over you, Mas? What if, all my life, when I meet someone new, I can never fall for them because they aren't you? Or better yet, what if I can't fall for them because whenever I look them in the eye, all I see is you? I can't do this anymore, Mason. We're over, everything about you hurts.

Do we have to do it in public because obviously we ran into Olivia today and we weren't planning on it. Oh shit, what if she sees you with another girl? I mean, what would happen then? What if she sees me talking to another guy? How long is this going to go on? What if we have to kiss in front of Olivia? I mean, it's not that I don't want to kiss you but--" I rambled on nervously.
