Can't Make Her Fall in Love

11- No Fear Here

"What the hell are you doing here?" I yelled angrily while smacking Walter repeatedly with my pillow to get him to wake up

"Damn I just wanted to see you" he laughs grabbing the pillow from me to prevent me from smacking him further

"Apparently not only am I getting to see you but I'm getting to see ALL of you, if you know what I mean" he winked reminding me that I was naked. I smacked his head one last time then stomped away furiously into the bathroom where I pulled on a robe to cover myself.

"Get out of my room now" I ordered once I returned with so much authority that Walter flinched

"I'm sorry okay. I didn't know you'd be this upset. I use to sneak in your room all the time back in high school and you never had a problem with it before" he defended sitting up

"Yea well that was before-" I halted mid-sentence quickly realizing my mistake but it was too late.

I sighed knowing Walter wasn't going to just let this slide and what I had to say was only going to result in me hurting his feelings. Something I didn't want to do.

"That was before what?" He questioned standing up to face me. His facial expression stayed neutral but I could tell he was struggling to keep it that way.

"Nothing" I whispered diverting my eyes away from him

"Before what Lea?" he drilled determined to get an answer out of me but when I didn't reply immediately he took two long strides over to where I was, forced me against the wall then forced me to stare into his eyes.

"Before what" he asked once more, with an unrecognizable emotion in his eyes. I couldn't figure out if it was sadness, anger, hatred, curiosity or disappointment. Maybe it was a mixture of all of them, but whatever it was, it rattled me.

But that uneasiness inside me soon turned into anger. How dare he make me feel bad when I had done nothing. I was the victim here.

Why should I suppress my thoughts to spare his feelings when he hadn't done that for me? He obviously wasn't thinking of how I'd feel when he ruined our friendship by confessing his feelings for me.

"Before you ruined everything" I finally said barely audible

"Before what?" he ask as his eyebrows furred together and his eyes squinted as if his ears had just deceived him

"Before you ruined everything!" I yelled this time

"Before you ruined everything we had by catching feelings for me then stupidly confessing those feelings to me. What did you think was going to come out of it?" I spat

"Huh? Did you think I was going to confess that I had feelings for you to then we'd have one of those pathetic fairytale relationships? Answer me!" I cried as he removed his arms from the walls beside me and backed away.

"Unbelievable fucking unbelievable" he muttered shaking his head then slowly he looked up at me and asked "Why did you kiss me?"

"What?" I ask confused at what this had to do with anything

"Why did you kiss me after I confessed everything to you? Why would you do something so deceiving? Made it seem as if you were okay with everything. You should have just been honest then"

"What difference does it make? I'm being honest now aren't I? And don't you dare try to change the topic and switch the blame around on me you asshole. I wasn't the one who ruined our friendship" I cry shoving him

"I should have known better" he whispers "I should have known"

"You knew better" I yelled shoving him

"Why would you do something so stupid?" I beat against his chest repeatedly with my fist as he stood there frozen.

"You think I wanted to fall for you? You think I had control over that shit?" he finally replies with anger and frustration dripping from his tone

"Don't you dare start with that bullshit. Everyone has control over their feelings. Anyone can choose whether they want to fall in love or not."

"You're wrong" he replied

"No I'm not. I've never fallen in love and that's because I choose not to foolishly fall in love with some bastard. If I can do it then anyone can. You had a choice Walter, you just made the wrong decision" I shook my head while scowling at him

"You're wrong. People don't get to choose who they fall in love with or when they fall in love and neither do you. Someday you'll see that. Hopefully it won't be to late" he whispers the last part under his breath

"You don't know what the hell you're saying Walter" I bite back

Then suddenly a spark goes off in his eyes. He looked as if he had just figured out the answer to a riddle that had been bothering him for days. "You know what I think? You're just afraid." He replys with a smug look

"That's ridiculous" I replied

"No its not!" He shouted banging his fist against the wall causing me to flinch as my eyes widened with shock

"Look at me and tell me that you're not afraid to fall in love, that you're not afraid to get your heart broken" He yelled grabbing my arm

Silence fell up on us as he waited for my answer and only Walter's short quick breaths could be heard faintly as the tension between us grew

"I'm not afraid of falling in love Walter." I finally said staring into his eyes intensely watching as they transitioned from shock to sorrow

"I'm not afraid of anything. Now get the fuck out of my house" I whispered angrily through my teeth before yanking my arm out of his grip putting an end to the conversation and possibly our friendship.
