I slowly rose from my spot next to Ryan. I could tell I was blushing through my ice solid exterior, but nobody had to see that. I turned away from the both of them and walked away.

What was I supposed to say?! Thank you? Kiss him? I just didn’t know.

But thanking him would be stupid. And.. it’s my deepest darkest secret.. but I haven’t had my first kiss, and I don’t think it’d be too romantic to kiss him over a dying teenager.

I felt my head turning ever so slowly to see what Ryan and Hayden were doing. No! Don’t look back! Keep your athority! Don’t look back!!

But against the pleading voices from the back of my head, I turned and looked back to find Hayden trying to lift Ryan’s huge body so he could carry him back.

Ryan’s a.. large boy.

But it warmed my heart to find Hayden trying, against his will. He’s still as sweet as ever.

Feeling the warmth of the moment, I run back to Hayden as quietly as I could and wrap my arms around him.

“Your amazing.” I whisper.
