Make it a sweet, sweet goodbye

Alex's POV
“Why did you move here?” I ask staring at this girl in front of me. From that one small question her body seems to go rigid, all laughter and happiness that was previously on her face seems to disappear, she seems to stop moving altogether and from that I know I’ve said something wrong. A few seconds of silence pass and I notice tears have started to form in her hazel eyes. “What? What have I said?” I ask taking hold of her soft small delicate hands.
“Nothing.” She replies snatching her hands out of my grip. Her body seems to have gone stiff, as if she is trying to keep the lid on all of these emotions and feelings; bottling them up inside of her never wanting to open and feel the pain. I can tell some painful memories have come to mind just by glancing into her eyes
“Rebecca, what’s wrong?” I ask trying to look into her eyes. Slowly her hair falls down to drape round her face, hiding it from my view. “Becca, please, look at me.” I ask staring at this small girl. Slowly her head rises causing her to look at me for the first time in what seems like hours. Her hazel eyes have glassed over, causing them to look more beautiful than normal. Its then that I notice small things about this girl, the way her freckles seem to splash across the pale skin of her nose, how her small red lips curl down into a frown when a few minutes ago they were curled up into a smile, how her eyeliner seems to outline her eyes making them bigger than normal. In this moment I try my best not to lean forward and kiss this girl, although every fibre in my body is yelling at me to do so. I can’t help but wonder what her lips taste like; probably something cute like strawberry lip balm. Normally I would want to make out with any girl purely for the fun of it and to say I have, but there was just something about Rebecca that made her different from the others. From first sight I knew she was different, she was the kind of girl who could look after herself.
“Yes.” She mutters, looking into my eyes; like her beautiful hazel orbs are able to see into my soul. What am I saying, shut up Alex, you’re acting like such a pussy…so what if she’s fucking breath-taking. I lean forward and brush her long red hair out of the way, making it easier to gaze into her eyes, and that’s when I feel it.
Rebecca's POV
The moment his skin touches mine I feel a jolt of electricity, as my heart beat speeds up a bit. I gaze up into his chocolate brown eyes, trying to control myself so I don’t get lost in them. I take a gulp off breath, embarrassed that I’m acting like this; I’m never like this around a boy.
“Please tell me what’s wrong?” he asks, I can hear the true concern and worry in his voice. I just stare at him not knowing what to do. “Please you can trust me.” He continues.
“Can I Alex?” I ask, even though I don’t know why I do…why was my mind trying to make me hate him, yet my heart was shouting at me to kiss him...wait what?
“What’s that supposed to mean?” He asks looking at me in a confused way.
“I don’t mean this in a bad way but…I’ve only just met you Alex, I hardly know you.” I explain.
“Yeah…I guess you’re right…but I’m worried about you.” He replies. Wait…Alex is worried about me? Why would he be worried about me? I mean he only just met me.
“Please don’t be worried just…trust me on this?” I ask, my eyes pleading with the boy.
“Okay…only if you promise to tell me one day.” He asks holding out his little pinkie. I can’t help but want to laugh at how adorable he is being. I link my little pinkie with his.
“I promise to one day, once I’m ready to and know you better.” He nods; a smile spreading out onto his attractive face. “Although can you do me a favour?” I ask
“Of course…what is it?” he asks smiling at me.
“Get the others to stop questioning about why I moved?” I mumble looking at him.
“Sure.” He replies with a smile before quickly standing up, pulling me to stand up with him before engulfing me in a hug. I can’t help but feel the warmth from his body seep onto my own, his touch seemed to make my insides churn…but in a good way. When he spoke butterflies would erupt in my stomach trying to fight their way out of my system. Just being around him seems to make positive energy radiate everywhere and that’s when it clicked in my mind what was really going on.
Me; Rebecca Thomas, was falling for Alex Gaskarth…even though I had just met him.
