You make my world so much brighter

You’re the sun that warms up my heart

When storm clouds burst all around me

That’s when I find shelter with you

I wanna hold you close

Need to kiss your lips

Let you know that you’re wanted

And as the years pass by

I want you by my side, forever

And never let you forget it

Because you’re so much more than I wanted

As we listened, I thought about how much it sounded like a fairytale. To have someone feel that way about me, really feel that way about me, was impossible to imagine. No one had ever cared about me like that. How could I even hope Jess might?

“What are you thinking about?” Jess asked as Terrence sang the next verse.

“I’m thinking about how wonderful it must feel to have someone want you like that.” My face burned with embarrassment when our eyes met. “You must think that’s stupid.”

“No. I was thinking the same thing,” he said. The look on his face was one I didn’t see often. It was a quiet look, like he was pondering the words Terrence sang. “I guess I can imagine feeling that way about someone. But I don’t know what it would be like to have those feelings reciprocated.”

“Did you feel that way about Kelsie?”

Jess chuckled and shook his head. “No, I definitely didn’t feel that way about Kelsie. And I know for a fact that I’m not everything she wants in a guy, it was obvious by the way she treated me.”

“So you really are glad you broke up with her?”

He nodded. “I kind of wish I could go back and tell myself not to go on that first date with her. Things might have been so different if I hadn’t.”

What did he mean by that? I had to ask him the question that had taunted me since last spring.

I ran my fingers along my seatbelt, trying to gain courage. “Why did you start dating her in the first place?”

Jess pursed his lips and thought for a moment, sucking in a deep breath. “I think I dated her because I didn’t have the self-confidence to go after someone better.”

Who? Could it be me? I had to know!

“Are you talking about a specific someone, or someone in the general sense?”

I held my breath.

“Specific.” He looked pointedly into my eyes, as if communicating much more than that one word said.

My insides turned to mush, twisting and contracting so much that I felt like I was falling off a ten-story building.

“I-I wish you’d chosen the other girl, too.”

Silence.

Silence on the outside anyway. It felt like the walls of the truck were closing in on me as the rain pounded on the windshield. My mind screamed. What did you do? Why did you put yourself out there like that? What if he was talking about someone completely different?

But then Jess looked at me in a way that told me he felt EXACTLY the same way.

I waited. Finally, he cleared his throat and asked, “Do you want to go
