"grant, please go away." lilac pleading to the man that had been leaning on her door for an hour.

"petal, there's something that's bothering you and i want to help."

lilac wiped her tears and stood up.
for such a strong girl on social media, she really was oversensitive, and hated it.

she unlocked the door and opened it, causing grant to fall on the ground. "ow.." he rubbed his side.

"listen," she pulled him up and over to the bed. "sit." she commanded, and he did as he was told.

she grabbed a pillow and sat next to him.

"i'm really..how do i put it.."

"oversensitive?" he finished her sentence for her.

"yeah. i let things get to me, while a normal person just shrugs it off. i'm sorry i snapped at you, i wasn't in my right mind."

"oh petal, don't ever apologize." he pursed his lips and looked at her.

"listen, i..just got hate comments right before i met you in the airport."

"i let them get to me and that's why i'm so upset."

"you are acting like it's not a big deal.." he shook his head and his jaw clenched.

"it's not, hell, you get hate every. single. day, and you push through it. i don't have that strength grant. i lied to you. god damnit, i lied to you. yet here you are, rubbing my back and pretending like i didn't lie."

"what..you never lied to me, petal." his face twisted with confusion as he uttered the words.

"i pretend like im some strong independent girl on social media and i'm not, grant. i lied. and i'm so damn sorry."

he took his thumb and index finger and placed them on her chin, turning her head towards him.

"i've known you for 5 and a half months. long enough to know that you have pushed and pulled through some tough shit in your life. don't ever. and i mean ever, apologize for something as dumb as that. you didn't lie. lying? that's a word you use when you cheat on someone. when you crush someone's heart into pieces. lying? that's something a person like you would never do." he breathed in her perfume. up until this point he had never been this close. in the few hours they spent, they weren't this close.

he was so close that if he moved an inch his lips would touch hers.

and he wanted to move an inch, oh so bad.
