Stay With Me (Robin + Maria)

Caught

*Maria's P.O.V*
Uncle Benjamin grabbed my arm and yanked me away from Robin. "Why are you with this Delinquent?" He scolds me with his eyebrows knit together. Anger bubbled up in my belly and spread through my body. We were caught and I don't think we can get out of this.

"He's no delinquent!" I shout back. Well,I guess this ruins the chances of me running away with Robin forever. "He's my boyfriend."

Robin blushes behind me at the fact that I called him my boyfriend. He shoves his hands in his pockets and
rocks back and forth on his toes.

"No, Maria, you are too young for a boyfriend and it's a shame to the family name if you date him." He looks down at Robin with a look that could kill. "We're going home." He orders, lifting me up and putting me on his large horse.

I kicked him in the stomach and hopped off the horse and ran into Robins arms. Robin wrapped his arms tight around me. "I am not going with you." I growl.

"Fine, you go with him, don't come back... Ever!" He shouts and jumps onto his horse and speeds off with out a second thought.

"Uncle!" I call after him, running behind him to catch up. Oh, this is no use, he's already out of sight!

"Don't listen to him, Maria, he's just mad. Now come along, we have a long way to go to get to our destination." He smiles, which makes me furious. A tear leaks out from under my eyelid and I begin to scream at him without an end.

"How dare you say that! He's my uncle and you're just moving on! I have to go back!"

"We can't, Maria, we have to keep moving." He says calmly.

"Then, leave me here! Go! Get away from me!" I hide my face in my hands as I fall to the ground in relentless tears .

"You're just upset, c'mon you know I care about you." He cautiously walks over to me and squats down next to me. Robin places his hand on my shoulder.

"Don't touch me." I hiss at him with hate dwelling in my eyes.

"C'mon, what's wrong? I really do care about you." A look of sincerity appears in his eyes.

"Well I don't care about you, I hate you." I sob into my hands but look up to glare at him. Immediately, I regret my spoken words but it was too late, I couldn't take them back.

He stared at me in shock of what he just heard. Robin nods slowly to himself and clenches his teeth tightly, the muscles in his jaw tensing. I wanted to apologize but I couldn't bring my self to do it. In my heart I wanted to tell him I was sorry a million of times, but my brain refused to allow me to speak. "Fine," he says softly. "Have fun wandering the woods alone, Princess." he spits out through teeth that were clamped together. He curls his fingers into a fist and stomps away from me, dodging trees and low-hanging branches.

Great, now we both hate each other. Uncle Benjamin was right.
