Realization-One Shot
Her eyes glazed over, and surprise took over her facials. Her eyebrows knit together, her mouth made a delicate 'O', and her forehead wrinkled slightly. I never thought i'd tell her, I never thought those words would come out of my mouth...but they did. And now, here we were. "You...you what?" She stuttered lightly and closed her mouth, eyes pleading at me. What do I say? "Uhh..Nothing, Lex..." I twitched the corners of my mouth into a slight smile, nervous to if she would question me further. I tried to turn my head, but suddenly her child-like fingers grasped my chin and forced my eyes onto hers. "Do you mean it?" A new confidence shone through her exterior, and a fire burnt bright in her eyes. I was paralyzed. I was caught in my thoughts. Did this mean she thought it too? She looked so intense, so intent on knowing. I squeezed my eyes shut for a moment, attempting to get the almost doe-like look out of her eyes. A sea of memories grasped my mind, and began to project, like an old time movie. Meeting her at the 6th grade dance, laughing about the losers against the walls. Biology lab partners. Backyard campouts... Everything I had done with her suddenly made sense. Every long lasting hug, every laugh, every fight, everything. I, Nick Mara, had finally realised something after 5 years of knowing her. "I love you, Lexie."
