An Angel's Love

The Decision

About three hours later, someone had shown up at the house.

We were still sat in Grace's room when we heard a knock at the front door. I raised my eyebrows at her, whilst she furrowed hers at me.

"It must be Zach," She stated. "I'll go tell him to leave."

I nodded my head and sat back, watching as she left the room.

Ten minutes had past, and no sign of Grace. I got up to check on her, but froze at the doorway of the living room.

"Grace, I need to talk to her!" The voice pleaded.

"She really doesn't want to see you right now, I'm sorry. "

"What the hell Grace! Aren't you my friend?" The voice angrily asked Grace.

"Of course we are!" She barked back. She took in a deep breath and let out a sigh. "I'm telling you, she needs time. It won't do anything if you keep insisting on speaking to her right now, she's not ready. You'll just push her away."

I could only imagine the look on his face, the way his eyebrows would furrow, the way he would press his lips together. "Please Grace, I need to see her. At least let me hear the words from her."

I suddenly felt my body move towards the door, and before I could stop myself, I opened the door wider so I was now looking into the eyes of the person who confused me most on this planet. The person who caused me the most trouble, yet I could not stay away from him. Something inside me always pulled me to him, something much greater. That very thing, was the reason I now stood watching Michael's usual impassive face now red, with bloodshot eyes and messy hair. That is also why, I agreed to speak with him.

"I will not live with you, Michael, I cannot." I said immediately, without hesitation.

I watched his weary expression and the sadness grow in his eyes. I knew this hurt him, it hurt me too. But what choice did I have? If I moved in with him, it would not feel right. Not right now.

"Elera please, I need to know why at least." He said. He sounded tired, really tired. I was not sure if I was the cause, but whatever it was proved my point exactly, we were both getting hurt.

"I just cannot be with you, I'm sorry Michael." I said, my voice breaking at the end. No matter how hard I tried to stay strong, it seemed impossible with Michael. It was hard.

"Whoa, hold up! I thought you just weren't ready to move in with me. I didn't think.. I didn't think I screwed up badly enough for you to want to end things with me!" He spoke his words with both anger and desperation. I watched through my glossy eyes as his finally began filling with tears at the realization we were at the verge of ending this short love.

"We rushed into this. I know we had an instant connection, but I cannot do this. We need to stop this." I said. I could not bare to look at him, it was too painful. I fixed my eyes instead on the sky, the dark charcoal clouds threatening to spill rain drops. I wanted to cry, but not infront of him. I sat there beside him and held in my tears.

"I don't want to stop."

I choked on my own tears as I spoke these final words. I knew I would regret it, but it had to be done.

"I do."

I waited for him to respond, but he never did. There was a long period of silence before he got up and walked to his car, not once looking back. I was incapable of moving, I could only sit and watch as he left me. Each second moving further and further away from me. But I did not have a choice anymore, not after what had happened in my dream last night.
