BATMAN'S POV

This is a flash back, this chapter is the event of the time about like a day or so later when Diana rejected Bruce when he asked her to marry her.

"Bruce,  are you all right?"  Clark asked as he came inside my room. I sat on the balcony, with a glass of whisky held in my hands. I didn't even drink this before but something about it made me love it more than life itself. It's biterness, the way it made your throat burn, I loved all of it. 

"Yeah I'm great. Really really great." I answered, hoping I wouldn't break down in the middle. After all I had eventually turned into a soft person after dating Diana. I was afraid I would start feeling awful about it again.

"I heard about Diana. I'm sorry man." He said sitting beside.

"Ah, that's nothing. It was for the best." I answered taking a sip from my class. The way it made my throat burn was exciting. "It's my fault."

"It wasn't Bruce. If it makes you feel any better, Diana isn't doing well either. She's obviosuly mad at herself." He said.

"Of course she would say No. What was I even thinking? What's there to even like in me? I'm just bones in the inside and pale skin on the outside. I am a fragile, weak person. My heart is a mess, my head is a hurricane. I'm not good at anything, at the end of the day I'm just Bruce, the guy who cannot love someone." I said with a sigh. I was frankly tired, exhausted. In a way I wanted to my close my eyes and never open them. I felt like my life had came to an end, it had no meaning and it all was my fault.

I screwed up things, I lost Diana. I was all to blame.

"Bruce, I think you've had a lot to drink." Clark said taking the drink away from my hand. "You will be fine okay? If not Diana, there are many girls out there. What if you find someone better, someone you deserve much more?" He asked.

"I don't want anyone better, I just want her Clark. And I know that isn't happening. I lost her. I lost her forever."

"You don't know that Bruce. You need to stop thinking. Let me help you get to bed. Grab some sleep, you look like hell." He said helping me stand up.

"I've been through hell, what do you expect.." I said tumbling on the bed grasping the bed sheets tightly. They smelled like her, they were the only thing that kept me sane, made me feel good even for a second or so.

"So Hal and Martian will take it from the north and we're going the other way." Diana explained the map that was ahead. We were currently discussing the plan that we were working on for days. I knew she didn't like to see me in the eye but I looked at her anyways. I found her adorable, I found her beautiful.

"That's it for today, thanks guys." She exclaimed.

"Bruce, can I talk to you for a moment? Alone?" She asked.

The other guys excused us with a strange look on their faces. Obviously they knew that we had broken up, things were pretty weird for days. And to know that the two of us were actually talking was even more of a surprise to them.

"What's there to say?" I asked. "I thought rejecting me was enough."

"Bruce..." She rolled her eyes, knowing that this was already a bad idea. "I heard from Clark that you tried to kill yourself the other day?"

"So he told you huh?" I asked scratching the back of my head. "Looks like I lost some cool points."

"Are you okay Bruce?" She asked.

"Don't ask me if I'm okay Diana, you clearly did this to me. You broke  my heart." I pointed out.

"Bruce, I know this is hard for you, it's hard for both of us. But I want you to know that no matter how hard this all seems at the moment, it will fade away. It is not the end of the world. You will learn to love again." She explained.

"It's really hard to find someone with a mind just as beautiful as their face Diana. It's hard to find someone like you." I said looking at her in the eyes. They were full of tears, still pretty like the first time I saw them.

"We're nothing but team mates now Bruce. I do not want to lose you as a friend too, can you understand that?" She asked.

"I can." I lied. The edges of her lips formed into a sweet smile. She reached her hand forward for me to shake.

"Friends?"

"Friends." I answered.

But deep down I knew, there was no way I was going to be just a friend.
