     "cole.." i trail off. i'm at loss for words. why would felix do this? who is he to decide what's best for me, when he doesn't even know what's best for himself?

     "i told you to stay away from me long ago, anya. leave, i'm begging you." cole's words sting.

     "cole, felix doesn't know anything! you're the only one who i can really be myself around, cole, please," i beg, as tears fill my eyes.

     cole stands up, and so do i.

      "anya." is all he says.

      "no! no, no, no! stop it. cole, i love you," the words slip out of my mouth without my consent. i shouldn't have said that, and a still silence fills the air.

       cole pushes me up against the brick wall, and his lips envelope mine, finally.

      "we can't be together, anya," he whispers, after he pulls away from me. i'm frozen, as i stare into those eyes of his.

      "you're leaving." i realize.

      cole doesn't say anything, he just takes my hand, and we start walking. he's taking me home, and then he's leaving me.
