Jasmine's P.O.V:

"I can't do this." I muttered. I kept my head down in refusal to look at him.

His lip twitched. "What? Can't do what?!"

"This." Tears began pouring out my eyes as I looked up to him. My vision was blurry but I still saw his figure. I sniffled "Us."

I tried to swallow spit from my dry mouth as my lips began to tremble.

His expression uttered confusion. "Wh-what are you saying?"

I rushed. "Liam, I can't do this anymore. I can't do us." I raised my head to see Liam through my bleary sight with his mouth open, looking like he'd just seen a ghost.

I didn't just only stress about our fight. I worried about our secret relationship, Karen & Geoff finding out, their reaction, them hating me, my mom in jail, my dads death, Harry, - everything that was going wrong in my life, everything that brought stress I thought about it at that moment.

And it drove me crazy.

"Wait, wait a minute-"

"No. I can't do this- oh my god, I can't do this!" I began shuddering. "Liam, what if they find out about us? What'll happen? What if they hate us? what if-"

"Whoa, wait. Where is all this coming from?"

"It's always been here! Since the beginning, Since the first day I walked into your house we've been keeping secrets. From the man and woman who took me in when I had nowhere to go." My exhales were shaky. "They think were a family." I whispered disgustingly. I shook my head frequently. "Liam, we have to tell them."

"No." He rushed "We, we can't."

"Why? Why can't we tell them?!" I shouted.

"Because!" He yelled, much higher than mine. I jumped in slight freight. After slight seconds of silence I then broke into tears.

"Then. . . We're done." I couldn't even believe what I was saying. I felt nauseous after saying those three words. I didn't know what to say, how to move, what to think. We just stood there, so silent.

"What?" Liam uttered, voice cracking. His expression had changed completely. I nodded my head gradually whilst trying to hold back the sobs. My lips were pressed in a thin line. His eyes then began to form water. "Jasmine, please." I then shook my head and tears rolled down his cheeks. "Jasmine, we-we can fix this. We can figure something out. I-I was overreacting, I was wrong, I'm sorry." He grabbed my hands and brought them up to our chest "Just, don't do this, just, please. Think this over."

"No." I croaked.

"Jasmine, we can drop it all, we can just forget this happened." I began to pull my fingers out of his entwine. I couldn't do it anymore. Either we told them or just try to forget it ever happened and be the normal "Family" Karen and Geoff think we are. I love Liam. So much but I just can't be under all the pressure. Do I really want to break up with him? No. But I don't want to keep secrets anymore either.

"Jasmine, I love you. Don't do this, please." Tears were now rushing out of his eyes. I began to step towards the door backwards while still looking at him.  "You promised. . . Last night, all you said, you promised me."
