I wish you loved me in the ways I did.
I didn't want someone else, not him, not her.
You
So why couldn't that happen? Why couldn't you love me?
Was I really that bad?
Was it that easy to let go of what we had?
I don't know..and that's the problem.

BTW LISTEN TO THE SONG WITH IT!!!! ITS SO REAL!
*Artemis's Pov!*
I watch as Liv and Alice leave, shutting the door behind them with a subtle click. Once the room falls with silence, Wynter brings back its sound. We just started talking, about everything. How we have been, her new car, my new skateboard. Just catching up on all the things we couldn't.
It felt so freeing to talk to her again. I'm glad her smiles back, especially when I'm the one doing it. I'm so used to the life that I had before, messing around and leaving it at that. But with her, I hate the thought that I can't be there for her. To hear about her day, and know how she's feeling.
My brother might hate me for this, but I don't want to be like him anymore. Usually he leaves someone and it's fine. But Wynter, I couldn't feel anything when she wasn't around. She brought light to my darkest places. She made me feel needed and important. She fought for me, when I didn't.
I can't let go of someone like that. I won't do it, not to her.
"Artemis?"
I snap out of my thoughts, turning to her. I just smile, and she smiles back. I hate how one look at her makes me feel like I'm floating; but it does. I never want to look away from her. She brings me happiness, and I never want to let go of that. "Wynter, I want to apologize." I say standing up.
But she stays on the counter, staring at me.
"I'm sorry for pushing you away, and I know you can't trust me but I want you too eventually." I paused, finally looking her in the eyes. "I love you." I say honestly, tears form in her eyes. Her smile turns sad, and so does the mood. "Artemis, don't say that." She demands, looking down.
"Why?"
"Because you don't mean it, I'm not the person for you." She stands up, about to walk away but I grab her waist, stopping her. "I'm not lying to you Wyn, I really do." I want to cry at that moment, but I can't whenever she is. I need to be strong for her, to show that I care. "I'm sorry for everything, for making you doubt this but I do. I really do love you."
She shakes her head, but my hand stops it. I slowly bring her head up, eyes meeting mine.
I want to punch myself for making that smile fade, but I know how to bring it back.
Wynter's my specialty.
"You mean everything to me, and more okay. I'm an asshole and I hurt you, I'm sorry for that. But I'm not gonna leave until you believe me. I need you in my life, why else would I be standing here saying this?"
