Ohmy.. I can't even think about that.. I'd have probably ran out by then.. Three test tubes of my own blood would make me feel ill, and that's not even considering my arm going dead.
Brandon contemplated how to answer her question, and then said, seeming thoughtful, almost earnest in the way that he spoke, "I think that when you're a teenager, you feel a lot of pressure to tell the people you're going out with that you love them, because you don't really know what it really means, or what it should feel like. So I've told a few girls I loved them without really meaning it.." He paused for a moment. "There was one girl that I went out with. And things were a little different with her. She was actually the last girlfriend I had before.. What happened with my family. And before you, ultimately. And there was something about her, that I thought I felt something more. And I thought I had meant it whenI told her I loved her..
"But I realised that, when things went downhill, she didn't want to get involved with me, she was embarrassed, afraid. And that gave me time to reflect on all the time I'd spent with her, how I felt when I was with her. And none of it really meant anything. I thought I loved her, but I realised it was just me being a teenager.
"I know you're different, though, in case that worried you. I could have easily spent a day by myself without her, without thinking too much about her. I know I'm in love when there's a girl who I just can't stop thinking about. When the thought of her keeps me awake at night for all the right reasons. And there is something about how I feel whenever I see you, that I can't fully describe, while I could with her."
*breathe out* Wow, that's long.. xD
