Sacrifice Of Love

22# I didn't mean it!

Chapter 22:

Amber

Daniel got in without saying a word, immediately walking across the flat to stand there looking out of the window. I, on the other side, rester my forehead on my closed, front door taking deep breaths. After calming down, mostly, I turned to face Daniel's back.

"I never thought I was that horrible. I am sorry about it." I shook my head making him turn to face me. He opened his mouth to respond, but I raised my hand gesturing for him to listen.

"But I think, I should get the chance to talk, and you have to listen without cutting me off." I continued taking a deep breath.

"You're talking about me as if I am a slut throwing myself on Robin when I have a boyfriend-"I started, but he cut me off.

"I-"

"I didn't finish!! Please." I said quickly, and he sighed in defeat.

"Let me tell you who is Robin to me. Robin is the first one that I met here. He's my best-friend, my mentor, my brother, my partner, my trainer. He was always there for me through good and bad, and he never failed in comforting me. Like now, I am not that good friend, and I am not spending much time with him as I used to spend before knowing you, yet he's still there for me. He hates you as much as you hate him, but he's sustaining this for my sake; because he cares about me as a brother would care about his sister, but you want to ruin all of this. I won't let you... Ever!!" I whispered the last part letting tears fall freely from my eyes. I was calm though the whole speech. Yelling will make everything worse anyway.

"May I talk, now?" He asked with seriousness.

"Go on." I nodded sniffling.

"I never wanted to hurt or stress you, and I never said that you were not good enough because you're the best thing that happened to me, and I swear to God that I love you more than anything in this world. I love you more than words could explain!! But you have to understand me.. Put yourself in my position. If you suddenly woke up from your nap to find me crying over the shoulder of the woman that you totally hate, what would be your reaction?!" He hissed.

"I trust you, and I won't act like this" I crossed my arms over my chest stubbornly looking at him dead in the eye.

"That's bullshit, and you know it. To whom are you lying? Huh! We both know that you won't hold your temper. You'll probably drag her outside by the hair" He rolled his eyes just as I did.

"I am not that vulgar or I would have said harsh things as much as you did, and I would embaress you in front of the security guard as you did, and I would have treated your friends in a horrible way as you did. Think about your words, and how much they hurt me before talking please" I raised my voice shaking my head in disappointment, and started to make my way to the bedroom leaving him behind.

Once the door clicked shut, I slipped down the door sobbing softly. It was too much for me to handle. Everything was stressing me out, and just as everytime I wait and wait and BAM I'll explode just like now.

Daniel

I sat on the sofa with my head in my hands. Heavy weight on my chest is suffocating me.

He's her friend and I respect that, but I am also tired. He's not as good as she thinks she is. I can see it. The looks he gives me while they are together. His eyes scream "I have your girl. I will steal her from you." And I won't let him. Ever.

Soft sobs were coming from the bedroom making me feel horrible. She's crying, again, because of me. I got up walking towards the bedroom. I am not letting him between us. I won't let him ruin 'us'. Never in his wildest dreams.
