British Boy was moving back to England?

"But you just moved here. Why are you going back?" I asked in disbelief, trying not to collapse to the floor.

How could this be true? Things were finally moving forward between us. I was actually standing inches away from him instead of sending messages to him through the air.

"My dad just got offered a raise with his old company. And we miss our family back home."

I shook my head, not wanting to believe it. "How long until you go?"

"Next week. It happened rather fast." He added that last part as if it was an afterthought.

"So this is like a final thing, then? You're really going to be moving all the way across the ocean?"

"Yes. That's why you can't feel anything for me. There has to be someone else at the school you like more than me. It's not like you're going to be brokenhearted when I leave, right?"

"Of course there's no one else."

"What about that guy you were hanging out with on Saturday? Didn't you say you might possibly want to be more than friends with him someday?" I never should've told him about Luke.

"We're just friends. I don't think of him that way."

"Why not?" He sounded disappointed that I wasn't falling for Luke? I thought he'd been just joking around with me earlier when he said I wasn't his type. But maybe he really didn't feel anything for me at all. The thought of that made me so sad. How could I feel so much for him and he feel nothing? It wasn't right.

But he was moving anyway. So I guess it didn't really matter how much I'd just embarrassed myself in front of him. In fact, I might as well put everything out there since there was no hope for any sort of future between us.

"I don't have feelings for anyone else because I can't stop thinking about you." There, I'd said it. I'd told British Boy exactly how I felt about him. There was nothing else I could say to be any clearer.

"But you can't have feelings for me. We haven't even seen each other."

"I know it doesn't make sense." I sighed. "But you can't tell me that you don't feel something. I'm not even touching you, and yet, I feel more alive than I’ve ever felt before."

I reached down and found his hand; it was rough and callused and strong. It felt amazing, like he didn't mind hard work. His fingers twitched, and I knew he felt something too. That was what encouraged me to hold onto his hand a little more, slipping my fingers until they interlocked with his.

"Do you still feel nothing?" I asked in a soft voice.

His hand tightened around mine for a split second before relaxing again.

"It feels nice. But I don't know if I'd say it's any different than holding someone else's hand."

How could that be possible? My whole arm felt lit up with electrodes. How could he not feel what I was feeling?

I stepped closer so I was leaning against his side.
