Fall for You

12| The Fight I Lose

"Stop whatever you're doing, Marcus" she said in a cold tone.

I feel a shard of ice ripping my heart at the coldness of her voice. I never thought that I can be this low, begging her for another chance, and yet I am still losing her.

I knelt in front of her and hug her legs.

"Tatiana, please. I love you" I don't care if I am crying in front of her. To hell with my pride. I want her back.

She didn't say anything and she just pushed me away. But I hold on to her.

I'll throw away everything for another chance with her. She can enslave me all she wants. I am desperate to do everything just to have her back.

"Marcus, we just have to accept that we're not for each other" she said in an emotionless expression.

"No!" I hold onto her legs tighter. "Please. Let me prove you how much I love you. All I'm asking for another chance. Let me prove that I deserve you. Please let me fight for us"

"But this is not my place anymore. Maybe, five years ago, I'll be the happiest girl hearing those words from you. But you're years late. It's years late for that, Marcus. I don't love you anymore. I don't need you in my life. I don't want you in my life. My life is better without you. Just let me live a happy and peaceful life" she said in a pleading tone.

Her words stings. Hearing those words from her is the worst.

F-uck!

"I'll be going the next day. And I'll be gone for good. I'll just send my lawyer to transact with you" she said with finality.

With everything she said, I lose my battle. I just let her walk away.

I can't explain the pain I have within me.

But I can't give her up. Not again.

I run after her.

"Tatiana!" I called her.

She didn't stop from walking. I run after her and hug her as tight as I can

"I love you. I love you" I cried. "Please, let me in. I'm not asking for you to love me back. I want to spend the rest of my life loving you. Please, don't push me away" I begged

She forcefully unwrapped my arms around her.

She run to her car and I run after her.

I don't give a d-amn about the people watching us. I can't let her go now. This might be my last chance.

My vision is still blurry from my tears. But I still run after her. She's driving her car and I am just running.

I shut the world around me. All I see is her car.

Then everything went blank. I felt numb, then I feel pain all over my body.

The moment I opened my eyes, I am staring at a white something.

"The injuries are not severe. His body is just battered but there's nothing serious to be worried about aside from bruises and cuts. He'll be fine soon" said a man. I don't know his voice. "Though, we'll still ran few tests when he wakes up"

"Thank you, Doc" answered a woman I am very familiar with. It's Tatiana.

I tried feeling my body. It's aching all over. I winced at the sharp pain.
