When You're by my Side...

Heart Break

I was rounding the corner, about to open the door to the roof, when I heard voices coming from outside.

"A-Add! I have something to say to you!"

Was that...Ara? Ara Haan from 1-B?

"..."

Add didn't respond back. That or he had said something quietly.

"For a long time now, I began to notice things about you more and more! And now, I can't stop thinking about you! A-A-And! And! And!" Ara began to stutter.

Was this...a love confession?!

"No...This...can't be...I didn't tell him my feelings yet..." I felt a warm liquid run down my face. Slowly, I raised my hand and felt my cheek.

Tears.

I shut my eyes to tune everything out.

Ara continued to talk.

"And! And I want you to know...I-I love you!"

I can already imagine them as a couple...they seem so perfect.

What was I thinking...? Add and I...together? Sounds...so uncool.

The voice of Add brought me back to reality, where I remembered I was standing right before the door. Footsteps were approaching from behind on the other side, as they became louder as they got closer.

"I-I just don't know...I'm afraid I can't return your feelings Ara. I'm sorry...but I love someone else."

Ah...so this is what heartbreak feels like...truly dreadful and painful...He loves someone else...

I fell to the floor and began to sob, my heart feeling like it was being choked, no, my heart felt like it was suffocating.

I began choking on my tears, gasping for breath, but I held my hand over my mouth firmly in place so that they wouldn't know I was here.

I have to get out of here.

I didn't hear the handle of the door begin to turn. I was too distracted in my own thoughts.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over me. I looked up, stunned.

It was Add, his eyes widened. I couldn't read his eyes. His emotions seemed everywhere, just like me.

"E-Eve? W-What are you d-doing here?" He held up his hands, his lips turned in a tight frown.

"I-I-I-" I couldn't say anything. My mind was a mess. I couldn't think straight. Add began to reach towards me, about to pull me into a hug, when I suddenly slapped him and pushed him away.

"No...no more...please..." I refused to look him into the eye. Tears fell down my face as i clenched and unclenched my hands.

"Eve...I have s-"

"Just leave me alone!" I turned away, running as fast as I could to get away from this place.

I hate this place.

I can't bear to be near this place.

I can't stand to look at this place.

I can't do anything without falling apart when I hear his name...

I need to get out of here.
