sixty-one.

"i was in love with her..." he shook his head and licked his lips before looking up at me from where he was seated, "georgie, i fell in love with you way faster and way harder and it scares me. it scares me because i thought she was going to be my forever and she isn't," he ran a hand through his dark hair it looking darker than before, "and then i met you and instantly it was like i knew i was going to fall in love with you and i did. i don't want... i couldn't live if something happened to you. i don't want you to get too close to me, i don't want the same thing to happen-"

it looked like he was running out of breath as he inhaled, his soft lips in a circle as he tried to calm down, "i love you so much."

and it hurt, him telling me that he loved me. maybe the reason it hurt so bad was the fact that i couldn't compare with her. she was his first love and that was that.

i looked at his hands which were curled into fists, bending at my knees as i rubbed his knuckles soothingly, "what happened?"

i sighed when he seemed too invested in the fingers that were intertwining with his lean ones, "miles, tell me."

"please don't leave me."
