The Inbetween.

"Keep it steady, alright? I'm worried about you.." I told her, trying to lead her back down to the sofa so she wouldn't collapse.
Amanda needed to calm down. She had almost died for the second time this year.
I didn't think I could cope if I lost her too, as well as my mum.
Where would I go?

I stumbled back a little as her lips collided with mine.

What was she doing? And.. So forward. She wasn't this kind of girl.
But, who was I to complain?
I slowly turned the kiss into something shareable, wrapping my arms slowly around her waist.
I then pulled away.

"What are you doing?" I asked, eyes wide, still with my arms around Amanda.
I couldn't help it.
She was suddenly so much more beautiful!
I went to speak, but blushed deeply. Really deeply, a dark red across my cheeks. I never noticed how much I actually loved her before.

But I did, and was so glad I had helped her. That's all it took.. What if I hadn't found her?

Before I knew it I was on the sofa, head in hands, a little overwhelmed by.. everything, really.
Why am I being such an idiot?
My gaze shifted to Amanda and I smiled up at her, "I.. Really like you. I mean.. Yeah."
