Keith put his lips to the bottle and took a long swig, his approximation of two shots. "I know you're just as beautiful on the inside" Keith said with a smile. He took another long swig, trying to get to drink more water. Thoughts floated through his head of how he never had a girlfriend, and he was very lonely without so much as a hand to hold every now and then. He blushed a bit as she talked about what all thirteen year old boys wanted, then took another long swig. "No one has ever noticed me before you, so no girl ever approached me. Even with my shyness, I've tried to approach a few girls." He chuckled "It didn't end all too well" There was a slight pause as he pondered how to answer "Yeah, you know what, it does bother me. Always being rejected hurts. it hurts a lot. To always be picked last, to never get to go on a date, to never even kiss a girl, it's all so painful. I just gave up on everyone" His face looked tired and hurt, But he continued, swig after swig of tequila "Being bullied all those years made me scared of people. They make my night terrors most nights" His smile came back as he looked into Alex's eyes. "Then you poured a bottle of water on my head. At first, I won't lie, I figured you'd be like every other bully. But then I saw you there by my hospital bed. You won't be able to fool me again, I can see you for the amazing woman you are." He smiled a bit of a bigger smile, a few tears making it down his face. His buzz was growing slowly and his temperature was on the rise.
