" It's already over." Maddy whispers out to Damon as her heart drops with a pressure of regret and heartbreak. She can see his lip quiver that indicates the sadness he tries to prevent
" You think I believe that? I won't let you push me away Maddy...

DAMON STANDS TO OPEN THE HOTEL ROOM, his heart pounding at a rate that it almost hurts him
He can hear the rain outside but his heart beat thuds in his ear, especially when he grips onto the handle
The door opens to reveal Maddy, her broken expression almost making him drop to his knees. His hands touch against her face, his thumb sliding across to wipe her tears off
" I know you hate me, I fucking hate myself." Maddy cries out, her body slamming into his. The moment is one that he has needed, he needs her
He doesn't care what she does, how she hurts him. He only cares about being with her, bad or good, happy or not
" I don't hate you Madeline, you just really hurt me." Damon mumbles down in her ear, his hand now gripping the back of her neck on the top of her hair
His other lingering hand rubs across her back, the man calming Maddy down enough for her to pull away and walk into the room. Damon is the one to shut the door, following after her with his lips pressed against each other
" I'm done with him, I want you. I was confused the other night, I was just scared." Maddy sits on the bad, her eyes looking up at him as his body towers over her
His hand slips onto her face once again, his lips welcoming a smile
" Remember our first 'friend' date?" Damon lets his mind wonder, sitting next to Maddy on the bed as they both retell it
" I was a nervous wreck, it was actually embarrassing." Damon laughs to himself, smiling at the boy who Maddy had in her palm, the boy she still does have in her palm
" You were nervous jumbling your words, it was very cute." Maddy presses her shoulder against his, her hand slipping into his with an intertwining movement
" Cassie was mad when she found out that I liked you, but do you know what I told her?" Damon hums into her embrace, feeling her head twist to look at him. He welcomes her gaze, his pupils expanding with every second that passes
" That you wanted to tap this?"
" No Maddy." Damon laughs with his best friend, a girl that will always be his best friend before anything
" I told her that I couldn't not like you. I said that I had never seen a woman in the world as beautiful as you. Not just your looks but, the small details about you that you hide from everyone," Damon pauses for a second, his lips pressing against hers for a remembrance of her touch
