“Forget it… if you want to remember that day, then fine… but do it without reminding me of it…” Her frail body began to tremble slightly and with it I felt my entire world crashing down, I couldn’t stand by and let her think that. So I gripped her upper arm gently but firmly and held on for dear life. I couldn’t loose her. I just couldn’t. Not now, not after everything.
My chest clenched tightly in pain, and the rejection that came with her struggle to move away from me caused agony to flow through me.
At this point I thought her blank stare at me was the worst thing she could do, but once I’d managed to get a closer look at her beautiful face, I realized that the worst thing was the tears that were now streaming down her cheeks. I had made her cry because I couldn’t be honest. It was time I faced the truth and told her exactly what I was thinking… I had to tell her exactly what I was feeling, because if I didn’t I would loose her anyway, and then I would never get the chance to express how I truly felt about her.
“Dylan, please…” Her head shook and her legs trembled, I heard a small sniff before her hand came up to my cheek and a slap rang out. It didn’t hurt physically, but goddess did it burn my heart. I watched as she quickly flinched, bracing herself for pain, expecting me to retaliate with abuse.
“Get off me… let me go… you, you mutts are all the same, all you want is to see us suffer.” Her words came out in a sob, anger and pain clouding her while my own eyes began to fill up. “I don’t want your pity… Just leave me alo…”
“Urgh… I LOVE YOU!” Her movements stopped instantly and her tear stained face shot up to me so fast I was surprised she didn’t get whiplash, at my shouted words. Her eyes widened and her luscious lips parted in shock… well I suppose there was no going back now. I sighed at how quiet the area had gotten, it seemed like even the birds in the trees were holding their breath in anticipation for what was to come. “I’m in love with you, Dylan!”
Her now surprised eyes studied mine for any hint of a lie, and disbelief flashed across her features instead of sadness. I watched as her heartbreaking tears all but stopped instantly and quiet enveloped the pair of us. Her silence was deafening however.
