“This isn’t how I planned it.” Brain sighed, thinking of all the events of the last 3 days.

“Oh, cheer up! We’re happy and that’s what matters. There are bigger dangers than falling in love!” Heart had always disagreed with Brain. It seemed that any logical decision Brain was ready to make was thwarted by Heart’s desires. Today, Brain was ready to defend the lively hood of all in this situation.

“It’s utterly unfair to do this to ourselves! It’s no better than drugs for the body and twice as addictive. This man can not do anything good for us. We are better on our own where we can work towards our own goals on our own time and with no risk.”

“Maybe life is about risk Brain! Try for once to see things from my perspective! He makes us feel alive and that’s worth a lot! At least a lot more than you give it credit. Try. Please?”

“I can’t let my guard down, not for one second more.”

“What’s really the issue here?” Heart could now see that Brain was thinking beyond this boy, that she was looking at herself in this decision. She gave Brain a softened look.

“I’m afraid okay! Is that what you wanted to hear? I’m scared. I’m scared out of my mind that I’m going to mess this up and I can’t handle that. I can’t be the one to ruin everything because I don’t think I’d ever forgive myself.”
