"I love you."

I sigh, "Zion..."

He grabs my hands and looks me in the eye "I mean it, y/n. I'm in love with you, you know I don't say shit like this for fun." I pull my hands from his, unable to look into his eyes and tell him what I'm about to say.

"I don't... I don't love you, Zion."

The silence that overtakes us is deafening. I know what I said hurt him, it'll push him away and that's why I said it. "No" he disagrees and I see him shake his head, "you're fucking lying" I feel my heart break watching his reaction.

"The late night calls? The dates? The kisses? The time you spent in my arms? The time we spent in my bed? It didn't mean anything to you?"

I shake my head no, looking at my white air forces. "No, look me in the fucking eye and tell me everything we've been through together means nothing to you, tell me you don't feel what I feel for you" Zion grabs my chin, forcing me to look into his coffee-colored eyes.

I choke back the tears that are threatening to rise, "I don't feel anything for you, Zion. The time we spent together meant nothing. It was... it was just for fun" I whisper the last word, watching his reaction. He continues looking into my eyes, searching for the smallest hint that I'm lying. Zion lets go of me but that doesn't stop his emotions from flashing through his eyes before he hides it, he doesn't say anything as I watch him stand up and walk out of my house, maybe even my life.

As soon as the door shuts, I let the façade drop and the tears fall almost immediately. Everything I said to him was a lie, I'm in love with Zion, all the time that I spent with him I think about it every day. He was the first person I called when something was wrong, the only one that I'd let see me cry, the first person I'd tell when I'm happy about something.

Zion means everything to me, in fact I never knew I could love someone so much until he walked into my life...

I was so sure he was the one for me until reality hit me and I just couldn't let this go on, it hurts. It hurts so much to see him go, I know I hurt him with everything I said but it had to be said as much it hurts me.

The knocking on my door becomes louder and I groan, standing up from my bed, there goes my decision to ignore it. Who the heck is at my door at 9am?

I swing the door open and squint as sunlight enters my eyes, "y/n" Nick's face becomes clear. My shoulders drop as I remember Zion, Nick enters my house without asking if he could. "Yes, you can come in" I roll eyes, shutting the door.

"What happened between you and Zion?" Nick stares me down and I look away from him, "what do you mean?" He raises an eyebrow at me "he's a mess, something's bothering him and you know what he's like, he won't say a word to anyone and it's obvious something went down between you two." Nick continues, "I mean look at you, the red eyes, too neat house and you haven't been answering any of our phone calls."

"Hey! My house can be neat" I protest, "yes, but that only happens when you're upset" he counters. "So, tell me what happened, I wanna help" He sits next to me on the couch.

"Zion told me he loved me last night..." I trail off, looking down. "Okay... but, that's good thing right?" Nick asks, unsurely. I shake my head, no, keeping silent. "Don't you feel the same way?" he prods gently.

"It wasn't supposed to happen like this. He wasn't supposed to fall in love with me" Nick looks at me like I've gone crazy, "but, that's what love is. It just happens, y/n... besides, what do you mean he wasn't supposed to fall in love with you?"
