Feel Alive

The Mystery of Damien

I gripped Damien's hand tightly and we walked through the forest. It seemed we were far from society.

I looked over at Damien, his jaw bone was clenching and he looked nervous. "What's wrong?" I asked him with a gentle voice. He let go of my hand and stopped for a moment. He looked at me without a smile and my heart dropped. "I'm not someone you should fall for" he said.

I watched him gulp down his true emotions "what are you saying?" I asked him and realized how my voice changed and i felt a knot in my throat. "I'm sorry if-" he looked down, it seemed like he was Trying to keep from crying, "if i led you to believe that i was going to be a good person to be around, i just think it's better if you kept you're distance from me for a while" i backed up and my eyes were filled with water. "What?" I asked my heart was beating i couldn't give him up "how can i just walk away from you?" The tears began to slip through my eye lids and fall down my cheeks. "I can't just walk away and pretend nothing happened, Do you know what you do to me?!" My emotions were a mixture of fear, anger, and sadness. He looked at me hiding away his tears.

"You picked me! I don't know why but you picked me!" I screamed at him "if you're asking me to forget about you i won't!" My voice grew louder and passionate "i will walk away but i won't erase you from my mind because... i just i'm gonna leave now" i decided i wasn't going to say anything else i just needed to leave.
