Harry's POV
"I-I can't d-do this anymore, H-harry."
I freeze, not knowing how to respond to the words that slices through my chest. Emilee is sobbing into me yet I can't bring myself to do anything other than pull her closer to me.
I know what she is trying to say, she's trying to end everything, end us, and I'm not quite sure how I feel about it.
I won't force her to look at me, I know how ashamed of herself she would be.
"Don't say it Emilee, I know what you're going to say, so save it." My voice is hardly recognisable when I speak. It sounds so feeble and lonely.
I know she's trying to end it all with me but I can't just leave, not tonight, I need her to change her mind, I need one more day with her.
"Just let me stay the night with you and I'll leave in the morning, please."
My statement sounded like a beg more than anythiing. Emilee didn't even hesistate with her answer, I could tell by the look in her eyes, but she was in deep thought and that scared me.
"Harry, I don't want it to be over completely, I just want a break for your sake."
Emilee's voice sounds more confident now but I don't understand why. I can't concentrate on the words that just came from her mouth yet I know every word she spoke without even realising.
"What do you mean for my sake?" I'm confused to the point where I don't even know what she is talking about.
It's frustrating, frustrating to think that she basically finished me less than a few minutes ago and now she's trying to turn the whole thing onto me and tell me she doesn't want it to be completely over between us. What does she want, us to be friends? High chance that that won't be happening thats for sure.
I'm anxious to know what Emilee's going on about but I'm pissed off at the thought that she's trying to turn this situation around, she better have a good explanation.
"I can see it in your eyes, I can see how physically and emotionally drained you are. It's breaking my heart to know what I'm doing to you." Is she really being serious right now?
Emilee gets up from my lap before walking into the kitchen, with me following behind her. If she thinks she is just leaving this argument where it is, she has another thing coming. She's breaking my heart without even realising and now she thinks she can walk away from it? Not happening sunshine.
"Well, what are you doing to me?" I'm curious to know what's going on right now. I need answers from her, all she has done is confuse me even more.
"Harry, I know what's going on and I understand. I'm giving you a ticket out of here. I don't expect you to stay around when things get tough, so I'm letting you go before it gets worse. I could never expect you to stay with me while I'm in this state. This isn't what you fell in love with, this isn't what you came to fall for, this," Emilee gestures to herself before carrying on, "Is not what anyone needs in their life and I understand that. I appreciate everything you've done for me babe, but I can't let this carry on, I'm hurting you more than you're making me happy."
What is she going on about? Is Emilee really this delusional that she thinks that I don't want her just because of her illness? By the look on Emilee's face, mine isn't looking too pleasant, the anger is bubbling up inside of me just thinking about how Emilee thinks I don't want to be around her anymore, how could she possibly think that?
