About the Book

My name is Megan. In 1991, I was 16 and dating the boy I had always loved. I had not expected that my destiny would be radically changed by the arrival of Jessy. This 17-year-old boy attracts me from the first glance, even if he seems to be fleeing the whole world. Gradually, I get closer to him and discover him.

One evening, I no longer resist and kiss him but he pushes me away before telling me his painful secret: he has been HIV-positive for a year.

Since he had an unprotected heterosexual relationship.

In 1991, all we knew about AIDS was that it was a deadly and frightening disease. Anyone who knows Jessy's condition rejects her.

Will I do the same or stay close to him at all costs ?

English is not my native language, there may be some mistakes for which I apologize in advance.

Extract:
I blush and lower my head.
- Did you leave a girlfriend in Allentown?
- Let's say I had a girlfriend.
- You still have ?
- Well no, we broke up...
I don't give him time to finish his sentence as my lips are already on his.
Immediately, he kisses me back. His lips are soft and warm on mine, I feel him slide a hand to my waist, pulling me closer to him until, as suddenly as it began, he pushes me back forcefully before standing up abruptly. link, visibly upset.
-That's not true! Why did you do it ? He writes to himself while standing in front of me, hands on hips waiting for a response.
- I don't know, I said as sincerely as possible. Since I met you, I have felt lost. I don't know why but I feel like I've known you forever and this feeling totally upsets me. I was hoping you felt the same way I did.

Far from calming down, Jessy walks away from me, walking as quickly as he can. I get up and run after him.

- Jessy, wait ! What is happening ? Please, don't tell me that kiss was that bad !

He doesn't stop though. I catch him by one arm forcing him to stop on his way.

- I'm sorry if... I shouldn't have kissed you, but I honestly thought you wanted to too.

- It is, he whispers, staring at me.

- So where is the problem ?

- I can not do that.

- But why ? I know that compared to Chad it's a bad thing but...

- It has nothing to do with him. The problem is me. I'm not made for love, he gets angry again. I gave too much, now that is forbidden to me.

He slips away from my hand. I say to him:

- I don't understand ! You can't pretend to want to kiss me and then run away like that a second later. It's not me who made you suffer so why should I pay for what others made you endure? I'm not your ex!

Abruptly, he stops his running, turns around before coming back towards me. His features are distorted by anger but I also read a form of pain there.
- No, you are not the one who changed my life and I in no way wish to become the one who changes yours in the same way ! My life is ruined Meg, I'm already at the end. I'm going to die, he adds when he sees that I don't understand his words. - Wh... What? I stammer, in shock. He gets closer. His face is only a few centimeters from mine.
- Meg, I'm HIV positive. I have the AIDS virus, he admits quietly so that no one else can hear him, although the street is deserted. So stay away from me, believe me, it's better !
He leaves as quickly as possible. Soon night envelops it completely. For a long moment, I remained there, dismayed, unable to make the slightest gesture.
