He turned to walk away.

Just like he always does

"And there you go again. Running away from me as soon as I start asking questions."

He sighed and clenched his fists in frustration, but he didn't turn around.

"Please Megan, please don't do this. I've told you that you woul-"

"Yeah I know, that 'I wouldn't understand' but you never even gave me a chance!" I cut him off. My cheeks starting to burn in anger.

"Why do you always do this Ni?"

"Do what?" He replied. Avoiding my gaze.

"Why do you always push me away every time I try to get close to you?" I yelled, not able to contain my anger and frustration anymore.

He turned around quickly walked towards me, backing me up against the wall.

"Why? Because I don't want you getting hurt. It would be better if you and your god damn curiosity stayed away." He practically growled.

"Oh please don't give me that bullshit line Niall. Now what the hell are you so afraid of?!"

He swallowed and reached his hand up, gently cupping my cheek. He leaned in close and I could feel his minty breath fan my face.

"I'm afraid of you."
