"Are you awake?" a soft voice said. I was till now, but I didn't open my eyes I just stood motionless trying to fall back asleep, hoping Brooke won't ask again.
She waited for a while, not moving just like me but I knew she was awake and probably debating what to do next, she began shifting slightly under the covers trying to find a comfortable position but with no succes, she wouldn't stop moving and I just wanted to get my eight hours of sleep.
"Stop..." I raised my hand signaling her to quit that "...moving" I was interrupted by a yawn that made my entire face hurt, so now I remembered what had happened yesterday, I squinted my eyes and brought the hand I had raised to the bridge of my nose but even that slight touch hurt, I left out a groan and Brooke moved, resting her weight on her elbow.
"That doesn't look good, It's bruised" She said with a concerned look on her face. Her eyes were even more puffy than yesterday. "It doesn't feel good either" I groaned again while poking my nose with my finger, it hurt but I couldn't help it.
"Maybe we should go to the doctor" Her little hand grabbed mine and moved it from my face so she could get a better look, I disagreed with my head, "Maybe I just want to sleep" I said turning my back to her, closing my eyes once again, I heard her sigh loudly with deep sentiment.
"I know you're mad, I just want to help, It's the least I can do"
Silence.
Another sigh.
"I'm sorry" She said, standing up from the bed and waiting for a response so she could decide wether or not to just leave or stay.
"You're always saying sorry, It doesn't change a thing" I said finally sitting up on the bed, resting my back on the bed's header and looking at her trying to search for words other than saying 'sorry' again.
"You wanna do this now? Let's do it, tell me how sorry you are, explain to me all the shit you've been putting me through, that is the least you can do Brooke"
"I don't know Gerald, I fuck shit up and I don't even know why"
"Oh but you know" I said.
"I...love you, I really do" She said while sitting down on the bed next to me, her voice cracking a little like she wanted to cry. "I can't handle the thought of me being the one who threw our relationship out of the window, I can't help but feel guilty at making you suffer so much for me, I can't stop thinking about how, even though I left you, you still received me with your arms wide open. It hurts so much to think about you with somebody else but to be honest, anyone would be better for you than me. I love you still, so much it burns, so much I need to push you away so I don't feel it.."
Her already swollen eyes began to water, making her eye color slightly lighter than usual, they glistened in such a beautiful but tragic way. I felt it again, that feeling when she cried, like my heart had sank down to my stomach, creating a knot on my throat at the same time. I tried to shake it off as I listened to her but it was getting more difficult than ever as her hands began to shake when they reached to wipe some tears off of her face.
"I tried everything, being your friend doesn't work, having your body is nice but doesn't feel right, I'm sorry G... I wish I could move on because you already have"
The last sorry felt real, like it came from the bottom of her heart, she meant it.
"Move on? I was the one texting you while intoxicated" she left out a small chuckle, I reached to wipe her cheek with my thumb and she stared into my eyes so deeply. We couldn't fool anyone, normal people don't look at each other like this, normal people don't make me feel like this.
"Look.." I began not really knowing how to put into words what I had in mind, It would be so much easier to just kiss her right now but we tried that several times and it doesn't exactly work.
What can you say? Having the love of your life surrendering infront of you, she could have burnt me to ashes and would have still forgiven her. Even if she was the one feeling vulnerable right now, she was always one step ahead of me, always on my mind, controlling it.
"I had never been so glad like the day you came back to me, but you changed into someone new everytime the sun came up, I tried everything too but you're too fucking difficult to avoid"
She smiled a toothless smile, so innocently.
"I hope this is the last time I say this but please, no more games, no cheating okay? Promise me to never stop holding on to me, you the Brooke I know, promise me to never stop loving me, promise me you'll try, I promise the same back"
"I promise"
