Taylor and Victor

Chapter 43

Taylor

Taylor never looked at him the same. Every times he smiles at her and touches her hand.

Sometimes when she looked at him from afar, she thought he's like a demon offer. Dangerously beautiful. She thought she could always love him without being afraid of anything. His voice was still as attractive, she could still drowing in.

But sometimes, she thought about that demon offer. Scared herself by all bad possibilities. What could happen to her in particular, she was death scared.

Even though Victor still loves her. He would notice every detail around her life she doesn't know about. He knew her favorite movie, her favorite book. He knew how to take care of her, and what would make her happy. As she will, always, love him.

She loves him, but she can't. Not anymore.

Victor

Taylor avoided him yesterday without explanation. So does the day before that.

She would not face him, would not let him touch her, she doesn't care about his present anymore, she would try to vanish away.

Today was the same, she's avoiding him, walking away when he approached her. When he tried to ask her about, she never really answered.

"Nothing," Taylor always said.

With her present around, they are still losing touch.

Taylor

Victor took her to the school's backyard today. Not by force, but still rather a bit uncomfortable she wasn't preferred.

Rather not facing him. She saw his message, the whole world started dividing into puzzle pieces in her mind. The thought of her hating him couldn't outweigh her nostalgia about him.

The field fel;t gray, as what she always thought it was. The sun's bright, soft bright with a bit of camera filters someone used for the sky. Gloomy and dark despide the brightness. But to ever walk with him again makes her want to go.

Victor tried to hold her hand, but she crossed both of them together.

"Did I do something wrong?" he began.

"Why did you care? Would you try to change anything?"

"Would that be unjustified?"

She looked into his eyes, and she wished she could blink away all the sadness she saw.

"Would you listen?"

Taylor thought she could come over

"I will."

and wrap her arms

"Let's break up."

around him.

The sky collapsed and the flowers became wilt, the butterfly came across her flapped all its pigment away. The necklace she's wearing started to burn from the cold. The world's expanding as though the ground beneath her feet pushed her further.
