I Wish

Chapter 16~: This can't be it.

"Isla, come on, talk to me!" Noah followed me after I left the room.

"I can't even look at you right now!"

"It was a mistake, I made a mistake!"

"A mistake?! Well, I'm sorry, you made a mistake. Kissing another girl must be sooooo hard!"

"Look, I, I did a terrible, stupid, stupid thing. Okay? And I'm sorry, I wish I could take it back, but I can't. I just can't see us throwing away something we know is so good. Isla, I love you so much."

I felt a soft pair of lips on mine.

"No!" I stood up and moved away from him. "Don't! You can't just kiss me and think you're gonna make it all go away, okay? It doesn't work that way. It doesn't just make it better. Okay?"

He nodded. He understood. "Okay."

"I think you should go." I said softly.

"Look, look, there's got to be a way we can work past this. Okay, I can't imagine, I can't imagine my life without you. Without, without these arms, and your face, and this heart. Your good heart." He wrapped his arms around me.

I felt tears stream down my face.

"No. I can't, you're a totally different person to me now. I used to think of you as somebody that would never, ever hurt me, ever. God, and now I just can't stop picturing with her, I can't," I pushed him off. "No matter what you do, Noah. It's just changed, everything."

"Yeah, but this can't be it, can it?"

I looked at him. "Then how come it is?"
