Ich Liebe Dich.

Chapter nineteen.

Achim's Pov.

Jealousy and heartbreak? Did I really had feelings for him? I didn't feel like this when Chris called Meinhard, or when he hugs him. But I want to kill every time someone as much as touches Tilo. "I think I did."

Meinhard's Pov.

A car comes to stop behind Tilo's. Who comes here? I looked at Chris, maybe he called someone over. He shrugs. We are very surprised when Anne steps out of that car. The driver doesn't. She knocks onto the driver's window and whispers something to the man in driver's seat. Then it hits me, it's Achim! Why would he bring Anne back? He said that he would kill her. He is trailing behind Anne, head down. He stops in front of me.

"I am sorry Meinhard. I am sorry that I ever hurt you."

"Then why did you do this?"

"That was the way I had thought about love. My father did it to me and much worse. I believed that he loved. I was told that this is the way man shows his love. I believed it. I am sorry."

He hugs me, I can feel his tears.

"I'm sorry, Achim, I can't forgive you."

"I understand you."

With that he pulls away from me and walks to Tilo.

Tilo's Pov.

After talking to Meinhard AND hugging him, he walks to me. What could he probably want from me? He hugs me first, before talking. He is crying.

"I am so fucking sorry, Tichalt, I am so sorry. I didn't want to hurt you."

How can he hurt someone and tell them that he didn't want to?

"What do you mean you didn't want to hurt me?"

"I was raised in abusive home. Everyone told me that it was okay and that is the way man shows his love. Five year old me of course believed it. I didn't realize what I did was wrong before two days ago. I am so fucking sorry, really Tichalt."

"Give me time, Achim. Maybe in the future I could forgive you, but not at the moment."

Despite my words, I hug his crying form, making him sob against my shoulder. I know that he is truly sorry. Just he has hurt me too much to forgive so fast.

"Achim, you should go home now. Chris and Meinhard don't tolerate you as much as I do."

I can feel him nod against my shoulder before he pulls away from me and walks to his car without anymore words.
