Freeze, shift, and turn.

Her heart was beating and wished that he would turn around, but he wasn't going to unless she did something. Heart racing, "Joshua! Come here real quick!" The moment she was waiting for... At first he didn't stop walking, but when he reached his car he turned around and shouted out "What?"
She said breathlessly "Come here for a second!" She beckoned him to her area. He laughed and started walking towards her. She decided to meet him in the middle where the house and the shadow of the cherry blossom tree covered the two of them. Her mind was spinning as she reached him. "I gotta tell you something." She looked down and played with the black wrist band.
He squinted through his black rimmed glasses and sighed. "Alright, what is it?"
It was quiet for a couple of moments as she fiddled with her wrist band, and the pockets of her jeans. She took a deep breath, looked him square in the eye which startled him causing him to take a minor step back.
"I'm sorry." He looked frozen for a moment, shifted his feet a bit, and just stared at her. She held her breath for what seemed about 1 whole minute until he spoke.
"What do you mean you're sorry?" He asked tentatively.
"I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for not being the greatest girlfriend I can be. I'm sorry for not bringing myself to talk to you because I was either shy or terrified. I'm for being so much younger than you are, and I'm also sorry for saying yes, and I'm sorry for ruining your li--"
"Whoa, stop there. Mori, I don't want to hear this. What did I tell you like a year ago? Stop saying sorry. Just stop. You didn't do anything. Just ;et's not talk about this, ok? Isn't this done?" His eyebrows squeezed together the way mad angry people do when they want to blow up their head because of frustration. "Just drop it, okay? Please... We both don't need this right now. Besides, Mori you told me yourself you don't have any feelings left, remember?" She just stood there as if frozen. She nodded her head slowly. Remembering how idiotic this was, she just had to let it go and swallow her aches and pains once again. She really ruined his life, she didn't want to ruin it anymore by causing him stress or grief.
"You're right, Kuya. Aha. Sorry, weird moment right now..." She smiled a bit to act as if she meant what she was saying. "I just was being weird. Haha, probably some weird girl period thing. Ahaha."
"It's okay. Just forget it, okay?" He smiled sending a string of tingles that soared throughout her body. But she ignored them. "I'll hopefully see you at church on Thursday. See you later." He squeezed her shoulder and just smiled which plucked the strings of her aching heart. Then he turned. Turned and started walking off. She stands still as he almost reaches his car.
As she realizes what is happening unthinkably she runs. She reaches him and holds onto his wrist and as skin touches he freezes. He doesn't turn around, she doesn't say anything. Minutes of silence pass. Standing behind him, grasping his wrist, she leans forward whispers "Your personality and smile brighten my dim universe. In this one life, I can not find myself to love any other. There the sound of your voice ringing in my head, and your face pasted in my fast-pacing heart, I will never ever be able to forget you." She leans back and lets go of him. As she shifts her body the opposite direction of him, she takes a step forward and hears a slight whoosh and as she looks behind her he has turned his whole body and literally ran in front of her. His chest is heaving as if he's out of breath. She tries to read his body language or face expression. She tilts her head and makes an expression of confusion and slight discomfort. Silence fills the air around them, thundering in her ears causing her heart to speed up and her palms sticky. Thinking that he might not have a thing to stay she steps back and is about to turn when she is grabbed and pulled into a sweet embrace which human beings call a "hug".
His arms around her, a simple reflex was to do the same.
And she buried her face into his shoulders and started sobbing.
