JPOV

I could feel him slipping away.

Every time I watched him shove his hands through his hair, every time I heard the hesitance in his hello, every time I saw his downcast eyes when we said goodnight.

Every night that we talked but didn't talk.

When he told me about that boy, I knew I couldn't wait until summer. If I didn't make him mine, he would be gone.

The surrounding noise and bustle somehow settle my nerves. He took a chance with me, and now I will do the same.

I know what I must do.

I take a deep breath...

And board the plane.
