does she love me?

Chapter 11

Josephine

I stare into his eyes for a few seconds, in shock. What is happening? I thought that if he loved me an i loved him we could make this work. But he's just like all the other boys. Complicated, confusing and childish. "What?" Is all i can say. I am shoked.

"You heard me. I don't have sympathy for girls who humiliate me and fake being attacked to get my attention." There isn't an ounce of emotion in his voice. I feel like i am looking at a completely different person, this isn't Hero.

"Well I don't care about guys who go around falling in love and then falling out of it again. You are such a dick!" I shout and then slap him. I have tears running down my face now. "The reason i told everyone was because i was scared, i knew i loved you but i didn't know what to do. I can't believe i thought you were different, you are just like every other guy i have ever met."

"Okay." He says and then walks off. What the hell? What is he doing?

He starts climbing up the steps to the huge wall next to us. What is he doing? Oh my god, he can't be doing what i think he's doing.

"Hero, get down now!" I shout. What is he doing? "Please." I'm sobbing now, how has it come to this.

"I don't want to hurt you. I don't want to loose the only shot of happiness i had." He looks down. "This is the easiest way. I have been fighting for a long time Jo, you don't know how hard it is." A single tear rolls down his cheek.

"Please come down." I think of what will get him down. "Please. I love you, i do love you!" He looks at me.

"Okay." He says. He starts to climb back down.

I run up to him and rap my arms around him. "Thank you." I whisper into his ear.

He kisses me in a very passionate way. I can taste a mixture of my salty tears and the mint in his breathe. "You have to promise me that you won't go. I'm tired of the constant cycle with everyone."

He is crying into my shouder now. I can feel his heavy breath on my shoulder. "I promise." I wisper.

I am worried about him. He said 'i've been fighting for a long time.' what does he mean?
