Conflict pt 1.5 (2 coming soon, this is a filler)
———————
Her eyes bore into mine, desperate and pleading. I couldn't find the words to describe my feelings, my thoughts, my mind. Everything was a mess, and I was so confused.
"Come with me. Please." Vi looked down at me, hands still at my waist.
I needed to come to my senses. Vi was a distraction. This couldn't go further. My heart and my brain were quarreling, and I was in the middle, unable to decide which to follow.
I let out a breath, stepping out from Vi's shadow. Her hand trailed along my waist, reaching for me.
"Vi. Stop." I whispered, looking away. Her hand grabbed my wrist as I walked away from her, pulling me to her. And I wanted to give in, truly. But I couldn't allow myself to.
"Please." Vi's voice shattered my heart into a million pieces, but I had to keep my resolve.
"We're like oil and water. Nothing more. This would never work." I tore my wrist from her right grip, hugging my arms close to my chest, trying to replicate the warmth her embrace gave me.
"Leave, Vi. And never come back." I dared not look behind me, for I knew that Vi's eyes would make me break in a second.
Without another word, I disappeared down an alley, into the deep depths of Zaun.
