"Why can't you just love me back?" My voice cracks as I watch her face fill with guilt.

She bows her head as if she didn't have a response. If I were in her shoes, I too wouldn't know how to respond.

Nerves rise within me and I clench and unclench my jaw, a nervous tic of mine when my anxiety is high.

Cerise finally raises her head, revealing her beautiful face that is now painted in her pretty tears—tears that I caused her.

"Soren, I'm so sorry." She squeezes her hands together pleadingly, "Please don't leave me."
