today was the day he was going to say something. he couldn't change the inevitable, he could just get answers, and that was enough.

it isn't enough, he corrects himself, it was just the best he could do.

he hated feeling like the walls around him was closing in. just this morning he was happy to greet them, now he was being swallowed up by the thick blue walls.

"do you want a drink?" selena's voice echo's in his mind until he focused on her petite frame, and everything came back to him. he shakes his head, preparing himself to ruin everything he loved.

"no." she was about to get up, perhaps only getting a drink for herself, but he pulls her back down on the couch by her wrist. "actually...i need to speak to you." she could tell by the seriousness in his voice, which hardly he used, that she going to dread what he was going to say next.

however, she nods her head and plasters a smile on her face. he takes this as a invitation to continue. "i love you," he breathes out, "but that's not enough for you, is it?"

the air knocks out of her lungs, and she grabs onto the pillows that were on the couch for support. "i – i," she stutters cluelessly. "you love me?"

"god, yes. i love you, selena, more than i can explain, and i don't get why. i don't get what control you have over me, but, i love you," he rambles on. after the silence lingers on, he clears his throat. this was the moment he had planned for...

"but i see the way you look at me. how you inch away from me, how you don't touch me the same way you used to. something's changed in you. i don't know if i am the reason why, or if it's my fault."

the air was thick with tension that was unexplainable. he could feel the stabs in his heart, the stabs her stare was causing him.

"you see the best in people," he continues on, struggling to breathe. "you see the best in me. everything i ever done was for you. we look out for each other, it's what we do. even if the other one screws up."

he could feel the tears build up inside of her, could feel her heart break slowly.

"everything i have ever done, was for you. you're the only thing i have ever cared about, and now i feel like you don't care about me, not the same way i do for you."

and there it was...the thing that made his heart cry out. a tear rolls down her cheek, and he wanted to kiss it away, tell her that everything is going to be alright, but he couldn't. he restrained himself and held it together.

"i knew the second i saw you, saw your smile, i knew how beautiful you are, and that, that was when i knew i was in love with you. i am so in love with you that it's crazy. but, you don't feel the same way...i know you don't."

she opens her mouth to fight back, but he stops her by shaking his head lightly. he didn't want to hear it, he couldn't, he wouldn't.

"you deserve so much more, you deserve better than me," he says, and he heard his voice crack. "i'm not enough for you."
