When I woke up it was still dark outside. I noticed Casey’s warm body in my arms. Her hair was all over my face but I didn’t really care. I never imagined it to feel this good holding her. She was warm, almost too warm and had a nice scent. I really had to resist the urge to bury my face in her neck. I shouldn’t think about her this way…

Before I could think further about it, she moved. She squirmed a little in her sleep. Was she having a nightmare? We were still holding hands. They just laid on the bed. Her’s was on top and suddenly  she grabbed my hand really hard. Almost like she was in pain. She was suffering. I thought about waking her up because I hated it to see her this way. Before I could turn my idea into reality she did it by herself. She didn’t scream but suddenly sat up and breathed heavily. Seeing her like this made something click in me. Her feelings were my feelings I couldn’t see her like this without feeling like something was stabbed through my heart. I wasn’t just a psychological need. It was physical.

I sat up behind her and put my arms around her. She almost instantly grabbed my arms and pressed them against her. She looked over her shoulder and saw me. She didn’t had fear in her eyes. There were tears. Her lips were shaking as she tried to form a sentence: “Can… I…” “Yes!” I didn’t even wanna know what she wanted. I would do it for her, no matter what.

She now fully turned around. Here legs were placed on either side of me and she held her arms over my shoulders. It looked like she wanted and really needed a hug. I still had my arms on her side and now pulled her close to me.

She had other plans. Instead of just leaning forward she sat into my lap and wrapped her legs around me. I didn’t expect such intimacy but I didn’t had a problem with it. I maybe even would have liked it, if she was happy while doing it. She had placed her arms around  my neck and buried her face in my shoulder. I felt her tears on my skin. Her body quivered in my arms and I held her even tighter. She did the same but used her legs to press her pelvic against me.

I could feel her heart pumping insanely fast in her chest. I had to say something. “Everything is gonna be okay. I’ll be there for you no matter what.” She loosened her arms a little and lifted her face. She was now directly in front of me. Her hair fell her into the face, kinda hiding her puffy eyes. Her eyes seemed darker than usual. Not a mask to make no one worry. She had her own problems which now had overpowered her.

She leaned her forehead against mine. I felt the heat that she was radiating. Her hair fell next to her face and worked like a curtain. We were separated from everything else. Her lower lip was still shaking and I gave her the time to form the next sentences: “That’s the problem… My parents will split, my dad will probably become an alcoholic and my mum won’t find a job when she lives alone either. She won’t die but she will fall very deep. My sister won’t be able to handle this, she’s just 14 and already thinks about suicide. What will happen when our parents divorce?” I wished I could tell her that that weren’t to happen but that would most likely be a lie. “The only one left would be you. And you… you cannot always stay with me. You’ll find a nice girl and you’ll have your first kiss together and she finds out about our kind of relationship and be jealous and you need to leave me to be with her and…” I couldn’t hear that anymore. I knew that I wouldn’t do that but Casey had every right to think that.

Without further thinking I lifted my head and placed a kiss on hear forehead. It wasn’t a thanking kiss like she did. It was a long loving and honest kiss. Something like that may scratch the border between friends and lovers pretty rough but I didn’t care. I looked her in the eyes and placed a hand on the side if her face. It was still red from crying but she was clearly flustered by the kiss. “I will stay with you, no matter what. If a girls doesn’t like you, she can’t have me. You only get us together.” She seemed surprised and was still processing the new information.

“Can you… kiss me again?” I had expected everything but not this. At least she didn’t have a problem with me doing this. I guessed it gave her comfort in some kind of way. She had turned her face a little, that I could reach her cheek. I still had my hand on the other cheek and pulled her slightly towards me before my lips touched her skin again.

Her cheek was really soft and I tried to be as gentle as possible. After some kisses I felt her smile and noticed how she turned her head. I stopped the kisses just before she also planted a kiss on my cheek. “Thank you.” She mumbled, still kissing me. She pulled to give me another kiss which I understood as pulling away so I could kiss her again. The result was that we kissed each other on the cheek. Well, at least to a certain part on the cheek because two people kissing each other on the cheek isn’t possible at the same time. We found that out when we noticed that the corners of our lips overlapped.

It really was just a quarter that touched each other but it still felt pretty intense. I knew her smell but now I could taste her. The small part of her lips was wet. It was a mixture of saliva and her tears because it tasted kinda salty.

All of this maybe just was for a part of a second but each of us would remember every detail about it. We pulled away as soon as we noticed and looked on the ground. Our heads touched and she shrug. Casey looked me in the eyes. She seemed shocked and maybe a little afraid. She wasn’t afraid of me. She was afraid because we crossed the border. She didn’t wanna loose me.

I pulled her in a tight hug. Our faces rested next to each other. We were quiet for the next moments and tried to sort our thoughts. Why did this happen? It was an accident but the kisses before were done on purpose. We were best friends but this was definitely too much. Even the kisses on the cheek felt kinda wrong. That’s what I thought. What I felt was the urge to make her happy, what the kisses did. I wanted to be close to her and the kisses also did that. I still could taste her on my lips. It had felt good and if she thought the same it couldn’t be that wrong, right?
