Bell tries to remember when she first fell for Cross.

The single moment that her crush began. Even though she never fully realized her love for him until they kissed, her feelings were so deeply rooted. She can’t tell when it started.

When they were three? And they would chase each other on their clumsy little legs. Would speak in their own language. Experience this new world together.

When th...

Told you that I loved you,

We were sitting on the back porch, our phones in hand, in comfortable silence listening to videos through our headphones and passing a blunt back and forth. I was watching a video and when it said your name, I would’ve thought nothing much of it, if my heart hadn’t skipped three beats.

I was so thankful you hadn’t no...

The butterflies in my stomach are almost overwhelming.

It gives me the urge to act,

Do something.

But do what?

I’ve seen all your pictures online.

God,

It sends my heart flying sky high.

I smile to myself as I write this.

You’ll never know how happy you’ve made me.

And you’re just the celebrity.

Thinking of you is comforting and lovely.

I wonder how often you’ve made it easier...

At 1:30 am on a random Tuesday night

Listening to music with your roommate and his friend

You’d told us on that pre-orientation backpacking tri...
