Duffs pov:

~a month later~

Steven, Slash and I walk out of the school building.

Christmas break starts now.

"Are you going to Ohio, Steve" Slash asks.

"Yeah." Steven says.

"And you Duff? Are you going to Seattle?" Slash asks me.

"Yeah. I haven't seen my family for some time." I say.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. We should hang out today." Steven says.

"Yeah. Where are we going?" Slash asks.

"Lets go to the beach." Steven says.

We turn around and walk to the beach.

We sit down in the sand.

"I'm kinda hungry." Slash says.

"Here. I have five dollars." Steven says.

"Thanks man." Slash says and goes to a food stand.

"So you're leaving tomorrow." I say.

"Yeah." Steven says.

"I've never been to Ohio." I say.

"It is nice. I've lived there only for five years but I liked it." Steven says.

I nod.

I know I'm leaving in two days. But I wanted to see him for some extra days.

Slash return with some food.

He shares it with us.

We sit and talk for some time.

"I need to go. I need to pack my bag." Steven says.

"I'll see you at school in some weeks." Slash says.

"Yeah. But we'll text." Steven says.

"Of course man." Slash says.

Slash needs to walk into another direction.

"For how long will you be in Seattle?" Steven asks me.

"One week." I say.

"I'll be gone for almost two weeks." Steven says.

I got this really aching feeling inside of me when I realized I wont be able to see him for some time.

"But we can call or text right." I say.

"Yeah of course." Steven says and smiles.

I saw a sparkle in his eyes. I never saw it before.

"If I don't see you tomorrow, have a nice flight." I say before he needs to cross the street.

"Thanks. You too." Steven says and smiles. I smile too.

It probably was nothing but it felt like the sun was shining brighter than before when he smiled, like the birds sang louder, like the temperature felt nicer.

It was like my world stoped and it was only the two of us.

A car driving by gets me out of my small day dream.

"Bye." I say when he crosses the street.

"Bye." he says.

I walk to my house.

I get inside. My mom is still working.

Why am I still in love with him? What is wrong with me? He doesn't like me.
